Be sure to check out Jan's video and give her all the love: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gthll6Vkz56wiqc.html And leave the 🫶 emoji on her video to let her know I sent you 🥰

Gavin: they just brushed lips, why is he engorged? Also Gavin: c*ms in the presence of an Irish accent

Gavin: “I don’t want to be uncouth but- *immediately demonetized*.” 😂😂😂

Ah, yes. The ancient proverb; "One kiss does not an erection make." i'm only 12min in and my cough is already protesting at all the wheeze-laughing, a banger of a video, for sure EDIT to add: i love the chatty oversharing, it honestly makes me think like... you always say what's on your mind? and there's a sincerity to that, it's nice.

I would recommend moving the fountain to the opposite side of the room to get your cats to drink more. In the wild cats prefer to keep food sources and water sources spread apart to avoid contamination and to protect their supply. Oh and the answer with the chair is he wants whichever one you’re currently sitting in. Ah life with cats

That Book Lovers rant had me howling with laughter, because those were the exact same reactions I had while reading it. Contemporary romances give me such an ick 9/10. And I have to ask myself every time - are the straights ok?? 😂

What a collab 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

commenting as I go hehe so proud of that email tbh so I appreciate you sharing it lmaoo I literally used a sketchy company collab email I’ve gotten as a template 😂 so stoked for how high this jan counter’s going to go love that we both chose one with the intention to watch the adaptation 👀 nooo not spending money on book lovers but lol at the serotonin boost I got about the rant. VIAGRA ON OUR LIPS. Omg I was convinced I gave it 2 stars wtf lol so naïve; either way super disappointing ‘cause I loved Beach Read DEAD AT “don’t mean to sound uncouth” JANGINA I didn’t like the subplot of Tender is the Flesh lol I wanted more…jannibalism🤪 omg the throwback when I looked up how I know “About You Now” and saw Miranda Cosgrove’s cover of it mwahahhah yesss I also DNF’d MP at 100 pages ‘cause I was also bored. I asked someone to spoil the ending for me too and I was sooo glad I DNF’d. I just perused your goodreads & whenever you have time I neeed you to try After I Do by TJR to see if romance is where we agree on! Inquiring minds (me) are dying to know…especially after one of the results of my half of the project👀 lmao sure I won the battle of reading, but def not the editing part; a bitch is SCRAMBLING loveyouloveyouloveyou for doing this with me!! It’s been bloody fun & I’m forever honored to be included in your endless list of projects this month and even moree honored to have become closer friends with you this year so far🖤🖤🖤

Just a tiny tip from one cat servant to another: - Don't put their water next to their food, if you can. - Try adding a bit of water to their wet food, if they tolerate it. 😺

The way Katie Colson is sobbing while watching this

try putting water for your cats in a different place in the house (or multiple places) and not next to the food, they don't like water next to their food because it can get contaminated. Since we put the water somewhere else I have no problem with them not drinking enough

"Couldn't be me" - takes a sip 😂😂😂

Okay but alcohol use in romance is such a big thing and I feel like it’s rarely talked about

I just got Magnolia Parks.. so curious to hear your thoughts 🫣 Just grabbed some tea and I’m ready to settle in!

Hahaha re: the Irish wish, the guy you were talking about, the Irish man with the accent, is a friend of mine called Matt 😂 😂

So I asked my boyfriend if the kiss/hard on was realistic (and explained the kiss was very short etc) and he didn't doubt for a second before he said 'yes' 😂😂😂

30 seconds in and we already have a dowry of blood slander 🩸 HAHAHAHA

Omg the puns are killing me 😂. Love the snark as well as the thoughtful criticisms. I’m the opposite when it comes to contemporary romances…I can sometimes enjoy reading them but I usually hate watching them on the screen. I think I just skim over the cringier dialogue.

I actually enjoyed Book Lovers, but listening to you talking about it made me cackle 😂

I think you might need to move your water fountain away from where the cats eat, in the wild apparently they won't drink from a source near a food kill because of cross contamination and/or diseases and parasite transfers. You might get more success with them by moving it away from the food bowls? Might encourage them then if they're sure its clean water?! 😊

Really enjoyed this vlog it was so interesting and funny. Obviously Ash and Tobu are so cute 🥰

When you made Jan puns, all I could think of was Jan from RPDR "feeling the Jantasy" 🤣🤣🤣 You have the funniest delivery 🤣 always makes me laugh so much. Especially the comment about the irish guy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I've heard more than I wished about "tender is the flesh" from other booktubers, So I totally feel you on feeling nauseous. also, you should 1000% be able to vlog about what you want ♡♡ its because of you (and like, so many friends who zoomed past me) that I am working hard on catching up with OP after leaving it in 2019 during Wano The cat content is always top tier but this vlog theyre extra cute 🥺🥺🥺 The water fountain 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You're mom sounds like such sweety, I hope you can treat her a (cruise-)trip soon! LOVE that Petty Uni sweater, the colour as well! I couldnt leave the emojies you suggested so have thissss instead 🤡

the ‘Jan’ pun counter is everything

I think your hair looks lovely, Gavin! I started going gray/white earlier than most in my family (maybe due to so much BS in life, lol), so I use henna on my hair to get back to the red tones I used to have. Honestly, I think your gray looks nice, but YOU need to be happy with how you look. How you feel is the most important thing. :)

This was so much fun 😂 I'm also one of those people who loves to rewatch old reading sprints. They feel weirdly comforting to have on when I'm reading!

GAV! your opinion on Magnolia Parks is explains how I felt while reading the 70 pages I did 🤣. Loved the video! ❤

I genuinely laughed out loud during so many moments in this video. Your humor and banter is unmatched.

I love these videos. You were making my husband and I laugh so much! And I almost always watch reading sprints after they’ve been live, I can never be there when they’re happening and I really like them they help me read. Can’t wait to watch yours and Jan’s

I kinda wanna get book lovers from the library just to read the epilogue after that face you pulled 😂 Don’t think I can read tender is the flesh now you’ve mentioned puppies. Invisible girl has been on my tbr for a while and I’m liking the description about watching neighbours fight because I actually did that this afternoon lol, doesn’t sound like I’m gonna love it though. I’ve only read one other Lisa Jewell book before and I didn’t like it. Thanks for the spoiler for magnolia parks, I did joke in the chat about looking up the end, now I don’t have to. 😂 Awesome video!

I love that you picked some books that you were already exited about. You content is just incredibly nice to watch, I really feel inspired to read more.

I switched my cat to a fountain and I'm forever refilling that thing, you'd think she never drank water before lol

“Jessa Hastings couldn’t write a shopping list.” 😂 55:20 … she can write very well but I understand where you’re coming from LMFAO

Lmfao@ one kiss does not pitch a tent. I’m dying. 😂😂😂

I love all the cat content and also I love that you are doing what you want and not pushing yourself too much or doing something you don’t want to at this moment. Loving this 2024 Gavin 🎉

Magnolia parks is the worst book I’ve ever read in my life and I’m still traumatized by how bad and boring that whole thing is. I’m so glad you spared yourself and chose to DNF it 😂

I missed your One Piece videos! At first I ignored them because I thought I didn't like manga, but I started watching them a few months back when I was sick and bored. I loved seeing you get more and more into it and just enjoyed your videos and loved seeing you be so happy and passionate. Then I thought, why not try just one volume and found an app where I can read chapters free the first time so no need to invest money....and now I'm hooked and it's all your fault! Sure I've had spoilers because of the videos, but it's still fun to read. Still want to watch the anime, but no crunchyroll money for me at the moment, so I just adored the live action and yes I was that bitch that went 'That didn't happen in the manga' when discussing with my friends who I am trying to drag kicking and screaming into my new obsession. So what I'm trying to say is, ignore the negative comments. Do what you love! Whether that's One Piece, other manga or the weird horror or smut books you sometimes pick, I don't care. I will watch any video you make because you make me laugh even when I feel like crap. Your passion about certain books and genres make me interested into trying out things that I never thought I would try. One Piece was a big succes for me and I tried some Junji Ito which for me was just kind of 'meh' and I really hated Tokiyo Ghoul but I tried new things! This is huge for me so thank you.

I had the same cat issue before. Apparently cats don't like their water next to their food, they think it's icky. My cat finally drank out of the fountain after I put it in a different room.

The dowry of blood slander at the very beginning 😂

I love this video! I was just wondering if you would ever do an updated bookshelf tour as I see the manga shelves in the background and they look so pretty. ❤

I love the grey in your hair and beard btw. You look gorgeous always. Salt and pepper king 🤴 hottie with the lottie

The amount of anticipation I had watching to see if the cat water fountain was a success... I love the cat content. Ash and Tobu are just handsome little guys.

"Do I just not like love" - Me too

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who freaks out when an audiobook i want to listen to is available right away. 😂

🫶 great video, love the Jan puns 😂

I LOVED the cabin and tender ❤

I love this video concept 🥰

I am here watching this fabulous vlog! ❤

I read Tender is the Flesh ages ago and damn that book still haunts my screwed up memory… Great to see you back in another video btw x

An upload on my birthday? What a wonderful surprise!

This was fun Gavin. I've subscribed to Jan now, she's fab! Best Wishes 💕

8:31 Guys, Gavin wants to be in a rom-com. The catharsis will come from there.

Every time I see you with your coffee in this vlog I want one as well, but it is like 11pm I can't drink coffee now...

Book Lovers is one of my favorite books, it kinda broke my heart hearing your dislike for it haha. I loved that the sisterly love, romantic love and self love (especially when it comes to mental health and trauma) got more or less equal parts of the story. I didn't even know it was considered Enemies to Lovers lol, because to me they never were enemies to begin with :D

This was amusing. And seeing your cars makes me want a void cat, because it's been a while since my cat died... I watch sprints randomly when I want to read with others. I am an introvert who doesn't get lonely often, but sometimes I want some background stimulus and don't want music or a tv show that might catch too much of my attention.

My KZfaq was on autoplay and about 30 minutes into this video ... I realized I'd already watched it before. But i just kept watching anyways. 😂

omg i hope you and your mam get to go on holiday together soon 💘 i have the same hope of being able to treat my mam to a holiday one day!

The Staiths cafe is so good, my partner and I love going there

Just arrived from Jan's video 🫶🏾🫶🏾

I also felt close to vomiting a few times with Tender Is the Flesh 🤢 it really got me.

I just remembered Invisible Girl being incredibly mid. Can I remember anything about the plot? No.

I like the grey in your hair and beard….it looks distinguished.

I haven't watched the video yet so idk how you feel about any of the books but I've actually read the majority of the ones you picked!! My ratings: Tender is the flesh: 4.5⭐️ Suffer the children: 4⭐️ Book Lovers: 3⭐️ (I'm not a romance girlie....maybe 3 stars was generous😅) Cabin at the end of the world: 4⭐️ (HATEDDDD the movie) Invisible Girl: 4⭐️ Glad you enjoyed some of the books😁

i'm so happy you enjoyed tender is the flesh though i do have to say i love when you chat shit about books 💙

I hated book lovers 😭 and also hated a deadly education 😂 I’ve got magnolia on my tbr 😊

OMG maybe @JanAgaton is my reading soulmate because Tender Is The Flesh & Cabin At The End of the World are two of my all time worst reads lol

Your thoughts on book lovers was so on point for someone, like me, who only managed to finish the book because i was listening to it and doing other stuff at the same time haha. Btw, just so you know cats prefer when their water isn't close to their food, which might be one reason they don't drink enough!

You listened to your brilliant patreons & embraced the DNF! 👏💙

I’m obviously late to the show and new to the book KZfaq community. I came here by way of Jan. I’m subscribing after just this one video… for the cats. I mean, you’re great but, ya’ know, cats. I’m sure you understand. 🖤🐈‍⬛

He is targeting you, Katie. He is. 😂

Jantastic collab! You hit the nail on the head for why Magnolia Parks didn't work for me. It wasn't the toxicity. It was the immaturity.

🤣Loved this vlog! You had me cackling per usual.

You made it further than me in magnolia parks I got to top of page 2 and yeeted myself out of the book

Of course you look great! --with or without the grays! 😂🥰

bestie the greys in your hair and beard make you hotter!

omg, finally someone who also hated "a study in drowning"!

Such a fun time!

Video games are like the one carrot on a stick that actually gets me to do things. It's my favorite form of media, and what I do with most of my free time. While I'm enrolled in classes again I'm not reading much outside of assigned readings because I do my homework and INSTANTLY load into a game.

Magnolia Park!! I read the first few pages and threw in the towel... Him and her still sleeping in the same bed but not together.. Meh!! I'm just sorry I hadn't just downloaded a free sample instead of getting the book!!! 😣😣

Loved the vlog.

About cats stealing your seat, I've seen somewhere that cats have a special vision or receptor or something that can kind of detect temperature from a distance! So he's just gonna keep stealing whichever chair you're heating 😅

Omg Gavin I'm dying laughing!! The best as always! And also I hated book lovers. I usually don't hate books but that one right there! Nope! Lol

😂 hilarious as always, love the Jan puns

I love the humour 😂 nice vlog

"as a straight man"

this was such a fun time!! obsessed

Has anyone told you that your skin looks really good? Cuz your skin looks so smooth :0

I asked my boyfriend to watch your review of Happy Place and it cracked him up. He agrees, instahard is not a thing. He's been thinking about it for hours by the time I notice. Seems instant to me only. 😅

Shadow doesn’t drink that much so we add a little bit of water to his food

I have really been struggling with enemies to lovers too but it has never been my favourite trope so there's that 😅 I actually preferred book lovers to beach read but... barely lol. I gave them both three stars. I really liked the first half and found the second half to be quite meh. I agree tender is the flesh is DISGUSTING in the best way. I really liked the moment they talked about language and how language influences what we consider acceptable/unacceptable behaviour.

Hahaha! I love all of this. But I think it’s funny that I also DNFd Magnolia Parks. Trash! And not in a good way!! 😂

Am I the only one who noticed the lip sync battle tom holland rihanna on Gavins hoodie 😂😂

Love this video but gavin what’s your coffee recipe it looks so good

This was fun! 💜

Tips for getting cats to drink more water: 1. Have a source of water away from their food. 2. Put it in a fun receptacle ex: my cat tends to like to drink water out of my water cups so I’ve given her coffee mugs of water and she likes to drink from those. Hope this helps!

I’m sorry but I HATED Beach Read, so I am not surprised you didn’t like Book Lovers. I adore romance as a facet of other genres, mostly because I prefer slow-burns I think, and that’s more common in other genres

7:02 OH MY GOD OK STAY F**KING CALM! What a moment. You should check out that video where 2 Irish women react to the movie. It’s hilarious. P.S. LOHANNAISSANCE HUNTYYYYYY

Irish wish was so disappointing and bad… the worst part though for me was when I realized the main love interest was the actor of the Eragon movie way back 😂

I want to read Book Lovers just to see how bad that epilogue is 😂

Not a fan of dowry of blood or a study in drowning? God I’m delighted to have found you. (I didn’t hate either, I think I gave them both a 3, but I find them SO OVERRATED)

I enjoyed The Cabin At The End Of The World, the only other Paul Tremblay book I've read is called A Head Full Of Ghosts, it was really good, if you like possession stories.
