When you said "I can't force myself to like it. just because it was written 100 years ago". I felt that to my core!

@renee_3364 2 года назад

People need to calm down on hating others for making "negative lists". Honestly, making and watching these list help me a lot in figuring out what kind of things I like and dislike in books, which is important and helps improve my experience for the next year. Oh and I'm also just here for the tea and gradually building frustrations in this video. Are you okay Gav?! 🙃

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

Haha I am okay now, thanks for checking in 😂

@phillipstroll7385 2 года назад

No offense but why do you need to hear what others like or dislike in order to know what you like and dislike in a book? Firm your own opinions girl. Be an individual. If you can't even think for yourself what other dysfunctions must you experience.

@renee_3364 2 года назад

@@phillipstroll7385 Thanks for your concern about my daily "dysfunctions", but don't worry: I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinions. I don't use these lists to let others tell me what to like or dislike, but I do enjoy hearing other people's thoughts about the things I liked or dislike. Disagreeing and hearing the *why* behind other people's opinions is part of the joy in consuming any type of media for me. The goal isn't to "form my own opinion", it's more so to do with understanding why I feel that way, and why others might feel differently.

@phillipstroll7385 2 года назад

@@renee_3364 but you said watching helps you decide what you like and don't like. Hence why I mentioned it. Now you're saying you don't. So in that case, goodbye. If one can't defend their own thoughts I really don't care what they have to say. Thank you and Good luck to you.

Now I’m worried cause I’m all of these videos I’m seeing everyone is like “don’t hate me. It’s okay if you love this book” and proceeding to be super nice and polite.

When it comes to Fear Street, I remember really loving Silent Night and the Cheerleaders trilogy, but I haven’t read them since I was a teenager. Really disappointing to hear about Sex and the City. I love the show so I still might read the book at some point just to see. I’m also planning to read Camp and The Final Girl Support Group so hopefully I enjoy them. Have a great new year!

ok for gay romance you might enjoy maybe check out cat sebastian! they're historical romance for the most part but the seducing the sedgwicks trilogy is my fave 🤭 the characters are good, the relationships are good, the vibes are good and the covers are the worst things youve ever seen but they're worth a shot

As an aside, I thought the audio of I'm Thinking of Ending Things was really well done. I am so glad I listened to the audio versus reading a hard copy. I don't think I would have enjoyed it had I read a hard copy, but the audio did some cool things around the reveals, etc.

Den of Vipers somehow reminds me of a scene from I think Kris Krisopherson's Nightfall where the MC gets a tattoo that says: *"I am become a blade."* and that hit the wrong button in my brain and I dropped the book completely 🙃 The Starless Sea also annoyed the hell out of me. *"There is a pirate in the basement, but the pirate is also a metaphor."* and I just couldn't enjoy them.

@Liamcb93 2 года назад

Demonata - this was my favourite book series as a kid and until recently I'd often say Lord Loss was my favourite book, though I will concede that as I've got older I remember them less fondly. I think there's middle grades that are accessible to both kids and adults (Percy Jackson, for example) and other ones that are only really entertaining when you're younger, I think most of Shan's books are the latter - though he's a top bloke, I've met him 3 times 😁 Fear Street - I like these because they're simple and quick, sometimes in between a long arduous fantasy you just want something you can tune out to read in between your next big book - that's what the Fear Streets are to me, though I definitely recognise most of them aren't that good, I just usually keep my expectations low whenever I pick one up. Most of them are 3 stars at best but my favourites, out of the ones I've read, are College Weekend and Halloween Party - because they both had really unsettling atmospheres and had twists I was genuinely surprised at so I'd definitely recommend those two at least! Just goes to show that most of them are forgettable because the films were based on the location as opposed to the stories 😂 Girl on the Train - I mean, I thought the film was alright 🤷🏼

Gavin, since you’re looking for a hot LGBTQ+ romance I would suggest giving “Five Dares” by Eli Easton a chance. The premise sounded ridiculous to me at first and don’t even get me started on the cover. But I thought, why not? I ended up loving it. I would suggest getting the physical/e-book version rather than the audiobook because that one has an unnecessary comment that was deleted from the written version (thankfully). I had so much fun reading it. I look forward to finding out what you think 😉 Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅🏼

You're not alone, I was disappointed by both The Night Circus and The Reverent too! I really wanted to love it though but no :(

Yes. Been waiting for this one. Sad you didn't like I am Thinking of Ending Things. I think people don't like it because they don't get the meaning of it. The way the book is written and the ending, it describes loneliness really well. That's why I loved it. =)

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

Yeah I do think there's something I missed, which is why I wouldn't mind re-reading it at some point with that in mind and hopefully I'll like it better

If it helps....the television version of Goosebumps' Say Cheese starred a very young and adorable Ryan Gosling.

i told you the book i know what you did last summer sucked lol... but it might be because it was so different than the movie and i was comparing... and i am a huge Sarah Michelle Gellar-Prinze fan!!!! i have all of the movies and tv shows that she has ever been in!!! (yes, that includes all my children!) but some of the interactions, the characters they weren't very good people! some of things they said... it was like omg what?!

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

The characters really were god awful in the book, so you were soooo correct!

Haven't started the video yet and I'm nervous and let me tell you why. For the first time this year, I went to a local book store and made a book haul. I've arrived home about 30mins ago, watched an unhaul video and found one of my new books in there. Then I watched a dnfs video and saw another book I bought in there. I'm cursed at this point and I just hope you don't mention any of my other new books

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

Oh my gosh, did you see something in this video you hauled? That's such bad luck haha

You should try the Fear Street Saga,they are about the Fier family and are actually were the movies based off of,loosely. They are much better than the others. Though I really like the Silent Night trilogy.

I’m so happy I’m not the only one who was extremely dissapointed with “I’m Thinking of Ending Things”. What was the point of all of it? To me, nothing was explained except for the ending. All that build up to the ending was literally revealed to be pointless and turned out to literally mean nothing.

Not my main man Peter Pan getting dissed lol. I get it's not for everyone though I love characters that are just out there for themselves so I adore him. You might enjoy some Peter Pan retelling that focus on the magic and Peter is more of a likeable character. Like Lost in the Never Woods by Aiden Thomas presents Peter in a completely different light.

Awesome video! I do apologize on behalf of a character who shares a name with me (honestly, I also feel a bit betrayed, wasn't planning on reading Den of Vipers anyway, but now I definitely won't). As for a good LGBTQ+ romance, idk if you read it, but Red White & Royal Blue is excellent. I read it in September and still can't stop thinking about it!

@GavinReadsItAll 2 года назад

Haha no need to apologise for the character, you wear the name much better 😉and ah yes I read Red White and Royal Blue a couple years back and really enjoyed! Maybe I'm due a re-read.

@samreadsbooks_13 2 года назад

I recently listened to the Audible production of Peter Pan and it was really well done. Like the actual production. I also feel like they removed some of the really horrible parts. Also totally unpopular opinion. I really enjoyed DoV. I think that book was the one that made me realize my love of dark romance and psycho men. Not saying it was good, but ya

Hard agree on The Night Circus (😴) and The Final Girls Support Group, which didn’t even feel like a Grady Hendrix! Personally, I hate disappointing reads more than bad reads, at least bad reads can sometimes be so bad they’re funny 😂 and red wine for me please! 🍷

@lazyhomebody1356 2 года назад

I feel like Grady Hendrix is just coasting on goodwill from My Best Friend's Exorcism
