What is in that desert you made ? It looks amazing

FINALLY HAVE THE TIME TO WATCH THIS!!! 5:19 I love your reading corner!!! I made a reading journal spread to fill out the states and countries that the books I read take place in! I've been tentatively interested in The Astrology House so I loved listening to your thoughts!

I listened to it on Audible. It was done so well!!! The grandmother was by far the best character imo!!😂

I definitely feel that way about most books, endings can totally make or break.. I also feel that way about series I could give the first book 5 stars but if the last book is crap I won’t want to reread or keep the series on my shelf

Gabby & friends. Today ONLY 7/23/24, Diavola audio is on sale for $2.99 !! I listened to the sample. ONE of my top 5 narrators !!! Plus I rewatched this review & also read your Goodreads review. ** You are so good for no spoilers !! this is not my usual genre, but I'm buying the audio. I love slow burn, great character development & local color (ITALY !! ) @gabbyreads - thanks again!

I love the color of your nail polish, but all nail polish chip easily!!!😂

The only thing cuter than crash landing is the fact that they're married in real life 😍

One of my favorite things about reading is that there is something for everyone. I had the exact opposite feels about Diavola in that I was SO disappointed! lol. I thought the tone setting and atmosphere was terrible and the only thing I actually liked was the very end. The blurb and the cover were so fantastic and shit I love that I was certain it was going to be a new favorite. I’m so sad I didn’t like it but glad someone did! lol My top reads this year are Greta & Valdin, The Song of Achilles (I’m late to the game lol), and Hijab Butch Blues

I do knock down a rating if i predicted the ending. in that case, i should’ve written my own book haha my highest rated thrillers are the ones that truly had me gagged!

Yes, the ending of bodies, bodies bodies was so good and so unexpected!!!!

Sad you didn't love anything. Hope the next vlog will go better for you

So many ads.😞

Love your recipes!!! Tried the toast grocamolie egg recipe ,👍💖

You're really brave reading these horror books!!!

I love this so much! Gonna have to try!

Congratulations on 90K!💕

Im a capricorn too! Hugs from Sweden 🫶

I need you to read this sounds so interesting 👀

I’m a Capricorn too!! Might explain why I absolutely love you and your videos from the minute I watched you!😂

I’ve found when it comes to rating books: - thrillers- the ending can move it up or down an entire star.. usually most are 3-4 throughout then the ending can call it for me - cont rom- usually just here for the vibes and I’m a lot more generous with my stars for the most part - fantasy- it’s all about the characters for me, obviously the plot is important but if I finish and I just love the characters.. 5 stars! lol

Im just good a predicting the ending the thrillers & mysteries soo i find other ways to enjoy them. Like witing atompher ect

Congratulations on 90k! 🎉🎉

Well done, congratulations getting 90 K 👍📕📕📕📖

Is there a place you announce the time/date and book for your next Book Troop Live Show?

I just started watching The Mole and soooo good!

I'll have to check out that K-Drama. Congrats on 90K!

Congrats on 90k, Gabby! ❤ Another great video. You deserve all the praise

I feel like The Nature of Disappearing is too close to the real life story in recent years 😒😶

Thank you for all the hard work you put into Summerween! It’s always so much fun and one of the highlights of my summer! I hit all the prompts and found a new favorite as well! 👻 cheers to Summerween ‘24!

You have inspired me to watch K-dramas again and I never understood why I stopped 😂🩶

I totally agree with you about The Nature of Disappearing. I wanted to like it so badly, but I did not care about the characters at all!!!!! But I did enjoy her previous book, These Silent Woods 💕💕 Thanks for your thoughts!!! Have a great day!!!

If the ending is a let down it definitely affects my rating. Most of the time that disappointing ending even makes me forget all the prior enjoyment I would have experienced 😂🤣

yess, if the ending is disappointing too much, it would ruin the while book.

I knock a rating down by 1 star if I don’t like the ending. Riley Sager’s book The House Across the Lake was 5 stars all way until the end, so I rated it 4 stars. And Lucy Foley’s book The Paris Apartment was 5 stars all the way until the end, so I rated it 4 stars. I still encourage everyone to read those books because they’re so good all the way until it wraps up.

I can already see 200k subs towards the end of this year❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy The Chamber. It was my favourite books so far this year and it gets a lot more exciting once the initial exposition dump is done.

Congratulations on smashing 90k 🙌🏼🍾🥂🥳🎉🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 amazing achievement xx Brilliant video, I am the same, if a book ending drops out then it will affect my final rating. I remember reading one thriller and I worked everything out in the first 50 pages and I just had to leave it and come away from it and that was a Steve Cavanagh book.

I like you hate a really predictable book. I know that people loved Gone Girl but I read one chapter and knew exactly how it was going to go.

i am one of those people who can always figure out the end of books and movies. so i don’t mind if a book is predicable as long as it’s executed well!

Congrats on 90K!!!

You give me more options to read love it

Nature of disappearing was a 5 star for me! It definitely wasn't the strongest in the thrilling aspects, but I mainly loved it for the atmosphere. I do van life so it was a fun read for me.

I wasn’t fan of the golden spoon either her debut. I’m not picking up her new book.

I’m a Capricorn sun and Cancer rising too 😊😁 My moon is in Cancer though. And I also feel like I’m more emotional from the average Capricorn because of Cancer being in my moon and rising lol.

I try to go along for the ride and not speculate too much. But I don’t like when everything is obvious and the protagonist is oblivious.

I read The Last One and These Silent Woods on your recommendation and loved those books, so I was kind of shocked that you DNF'd The Chamber and 2-starred The Nature of Disappearing. I was hoping for a great Will Dean follow up because The Last One was a banger. Oh well...

If I can predict the ending of a thriller then it does affect my rating...I love twists that I didn't predict 🤌🏼

I definitely did not see the one being DNF'd would be the WIll Dean one!

I'm more lenient on predictable endings in mysteries and thrillers than on ridiculous endings. If I enjoy the writing and it's predictable, I feel they connected plot points well enough. If it comes from out of nowhere and I'm surprised because there was no way to guess, that's when I'm more likely to rate it lower.
