You know it will be a good video when the expensive sweater is featured.
Trying to keep it to special appearances only haha
I was getting worried, we haven’t seen the jumper for a while! 😂
I was thinking the same thing!
Slice of life vlogs are quickly becoming some of my favourite videos
Thank you 😭
Don’t feel silly for feeling relaxed building LEGO, that is absolutely part of their appeal to so many people. I used to work at a LEGO store, and so many people told me how calming it is for them to build.
“I know I should go to the doctors, but I’m not going to do that” seems like the adulthood motto 🥲 sending extra love to you during this month 💓
Hearing Slice of Life made me want a pizza because pizzas come in slices, but the toilet talk kind of changed my mind 😂 what a whiplash of emotions
Also a positive thing that happened recently is I got my eyes checked and am getting my first pair of glasses! I’ve had headaches and slightly blurred vision most of my life and haven’t had the money to get them, so I can’t wait!!
And now I want pizza too
6 DOUBLE SHOTS? That sounds terrifying.
Living vicariously through you in watching you build Lego sets. It's so cozy. ❤
The way i was so invested in the library book situation 😂
Loving the library rep on all the best booktuber channels. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind shoutout! ❤ I had a blast on the Why Read? discussion with you and Becca! Yay for Kindred! Can’t tell you how thrilled I am that you read and loved it! It’s truly worthy of all the praise.
One happy moment this last week: my husband took me out on a surprise date. I love happy surprises and can’t wait to find out your good news! 💙💕
Aw yay that’s a good husband you’ve got there, you deserve ALL the surprises 🥰
Good Thing: I went into town on my own on the bus (I have really bad anxiety and agoraphobia). I went to 4 shops, didn't cry, then got the bus to pick up Mother's Day flowers and walked home. I didn't panic, I nearly cried but didn't!!
That is AMAZING knew you could do it 😉
I have a library book due today and I’m so tempted to hold on to it for one more day 😂 but you have convinced me into returning it on time. Fineeee
Watching this with a broken heart is helping me see the fun side of life for a while. Thanks, Gavin!! Great vlog xo
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that Holly, things will get better 🫶🏼
@@GavinReadsItAll Yes, they sure will!! Thank you. Looking forward to your next video!!!! 😶🌫👻 🤪
I loved the video! The Snow White cottage is on my list, it looks adorable. Also good for you making that coffee change. It's hard but you can do it!
No way! We are even twinning with our oatmilk in our coffee this week!😂 I also started using oatmilk only diffrent reason, because the cows are treated like shit here.
I got a new job that pays double what I’m making now plus great benefits!
My good thing this week: Just finished Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb and it's the best book I've read so far this year. 5 stars - absolutely amazing!
Yay love that you got a 5 star so far this year 🎉
I've been trying to refrain from starting a new hobby and getting lego but you've just made it more difficult 😂
Wonderful vlog as always! I absolutely cannot wait for the Norway trip!!! I am so so excited and can’t wait to meet you and everyone on the trip! 🎉💜
Yay! I love these slice of life vlogs. They're the epitome of cozy 🤗
I love that you’re reading what you want to read this year! Even if they’re not all 5 stars at least you’re leaning into what you want rather than what you think you *should* be doing ❤❤
Kindred is so good, glad you enjoyed it. One great thing that happened to me this week was a very successful presentation I gave at work. :) Made me really happy because I felt so competent.
Well done ✨
This has made me want to finally open my Lego Mclaren Car... I'm so scared of starting it lol
I so relate to the coffee thing. First I switched from 2-3 Coffees a day to one. Then I switched to almond milk and now I switched to decaf and suddenly I am less bloated, less anxious and sleep better (who would have thought) :D.
I also love that we are both entered our LEGO Phase right now. :D I recently build the Orchid and on the weekend I build the X Wing Fighter and now I am already wanting to get a new set but they are so prices. 😫
I freaking agree with you on A Study in Drowning. I could not care less about Effy.
I always get so happy seeing you wear the expensive jumper! It'll be paying for itself soon (ish!) 💕
I'm obsessed with watching you build lego sets😍 might have to start a new hobby🤭
I find it difficult to read books from the library - because I get stressed out thinking about someone possibly waiting on me to finish and return it.
Nooo I was super keen for a study in drowning 😭 but it is sad to know it is really boring... I think dark academia can walk the line. "Curtis was supposed to LOVE me" is such an iconic moment and scene. I love that musical. YES Kindred is one of my favourite books of all time and is the best place to jump into Octavia's work. So glad you loved it too 🥰
Almonds make me bloated too! I was eating almond yogurt for a year and felt so bloated then one day made the connection. Now I do oat everything and feel so much better! Glad you made the change 😊
Oat buddies 🫶🏼
I really need to read A Study in Drowning. This video is making me more desperate to give it a try!
😊
Omg your mum getting you sushi is so wholesome ❤❤❤ also, totally get the caffeine making you bloated. I had to completely give it up because of severe pain (and also heart palpitations) but I’ve become addicted to drinking cocoa tea from Knoops and Korean buckwheat tea so it’s all good!
Please can we consider doing a day in the life of Gavin video? Love from 🇿🇦 !! x
Watching this while building my Hogwarts Lego castle & then you went to the Lego store and talked about your new love of it, it’s helped my anxiety so much too. Enjoy ❤️
Ok but what if Lego were like puzzles and you had to figure out how the pieces went together on your own
Then me and Lego would part ways
I hope you're feeling better. I felt much better after cutting caffeine from my diet.
Thanks for the wonderful video!
There's a 3rd Ernest book coming this year - Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret....
I love these slice of life vlogs so much!! Also the Snow White Lego build is so cute! Makes me want to go buy it 😂💖
An awesome thing that happened for me this week is that I went out and bought all the animal crossing lego sets that were recently released.... sooooooo much joy
I felt exactly the same way about a study in Drowning! Had 2 copies, sold them!!
Love that we both ended up with 2 copies and gave it 2 stars. Should have been a sign haha
I love love love these slice of life vlogs so much, I hope you continue to do these 🥹🥰 watching you get so excited about the Lego sets is my favorite haha. I’m also so excited you get to go to Norway for your next Trova trip, that trip sounds like it’s going to be so special, those clips you showed, wow how beautiful 😍👏
Please keep these videos coming!
Study in Drowning was such a bad read for me and I thought it was going to be amazing. Expectations was not met unfortunately
I am loving the slice of life vlogs! And Norway looks beautiful. One day I will have the extra income to travel.
Jay Kristoff did say he put a refresher chapter at the beginning of Empire of the Damned, for readers to get caught back up. Can’t wait to get my copy!
Oh that’s handy
Slice of life 😊
I didn’t find a study in drowning that great either. I was disappointed and underwhelmed.
YES your slice of lifes are my faves, the more the merrier!
I'm so glad to hear that you're doing a little better!!! Take care of yourself Gav! And I hope you learn to love oat milk coffees as much as I do, because I love em hahaha
This channel has Gav in Drag and that’s pure honestly. If you can love it, you can love him going TMI.
Highlight of my week-finally got to visit Middle East Books and More in DC. Was a great little shop. Bought a few books by Palestinian authors.
Loving the Lego content Gavin! It looks so relaxing ☺ The slice of life videos are really enjoyable to watch!
I love the lego sections of these videos!
I wish I could come to Norway but I’m going to Florida next year and my finances won’t stretch that far😢 So excited for Egypt though!
I wish you could have seen my face when you said 6 double shots of coffee 😂
I have also recently switched to single shots cause I’m trying to consume less caffeine but it’s a struggle
Recreate your reaction and send me the video ❤️🫶🏼
Love these vlogs so much ❤❤❤
Omg stop the Snow White cottage is so cute!!
obsessed with that sweater
Best thing that happened this week was catching up on work
I absolutely love your Slice of Life vlogs, thanks for the upload. ❤❤
These slice of a life vlogs are simply fantastic xx hope all is going well for you this month Gavin!! ❤️
Absolutely loving the slice of life vlogs! 😍 Super cozy!
Omg! I can’t wait for the wheel of time first and last lol
Have you tried drinking matcha instead of coffee? 😊. Something to try. It’s so good 🎉
I'm loving these slice of life videos so much! And thank you for the true crime docu rec, I'm going to make Can I Tell You a Secret one of my weekend watches this Saturday :D
Love the mug 😊I've been thinking to get a class mug too
That latte sounds so good
I’ll be Gone in the Dark is soooo good. So is the show. Love these vlogs!
The Snow White cottage is so cute! I'm so happy you found a new five star read!
Isn’t it 😭 I need more now haha
Nothing this week, but I’m so excited to visit Seattle next week😢! It’s going to be rainy and I love love LOVE that vibe! It has kept my mood up for the last month ❤❤
Have the best time in Seattle ❤
The Lego set is cool
Bloody marvellous seeing you back in another slice of life vlog, definitely keep these as a permanent for the channel. Not only that we can make sure that you are alright as well then xx
Can I tell you a secret was absolutely nuts, I was gobsmacked. The outcome though 🫢🤗
Absolutely love your lengthy slice of life vlogs! 1h long 🥳 don’t ever say sorry for being an adult enjoying Lego. I too find it so relaxing and enjoyable and you can just switch the rest of the world off 🙌🏼 really enjoy watching you make them and can’t wait to see what your next one will be!! ❤❤
Great vlog Gav! Really enjoying the slice of life 😻
I just bought gyo today after watching your manga video!!! Can’t wait to start it!! Also, these vlogs make my day better thanks gavin 💕☺️
Yay hope you enjoy Gyo!
Love the mug, idk if this helps but I changed the sequence of my drinks. I begin the day with hot tea and then I have a hot coffee for or after lunch. Just a quick note on coffee
Also started watching the video you just made live😄
Just watched your reading the first and last Throne of Glass books. I was laughing so hard. Thank you from the bottom of my 💗 , it was just what i needed. Your imagination is incredible, your channel is exquisite. Xxx✨🦄✨
Absolutely 💗 your jumper.
Thank you for such a cosy Video. Happiness this week has to be my first catch up with Bea for our buddy read and going to my oldest friends house for some food (35 years and still my bestest best friend) 😍
Oh I love that!! Yay for lifelong friends!
i cant wait for the empire of the vampires vlog cuz i need me a refresher too XD
I love that you found Lego as your go-to for relaxing and letting the day go. I've taken up puzzles again recently and was working on one while I watched this video.
My good vibes check: I spent the weekend in Toronto (I live a couple of hours away) so I could watch the Aladdin musical (which I didn't overly like, so that was a bummer start to the trip), the play "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" starring Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan (who are amazing and play off of each other so well), and then finally I saw Six the musical--which I loved! Toronto's Jane Seymour seems to be out for an extended period so they brought in one of Broadway's Janes and she fit in so well with these Queens.
I had the most delicious bowl of ramen with pork belly, kale, and mushrooms and fresh garlic...since I'm diabetic, I only had one small forkful of the noodles, but that didn't detract from the flavors bursting in my mouth! You rock, Gavin. Wish I could join you in Norway...
I do lactose free milk instead of plant alternatives! Oat milk is great too
Have you read 10,000 Doors of January? That is a beautiful book.
Your pink hat was giving me Gloria Swanson vibes (49:33) very Hollywood Fabulous 🤩
Nice vlog
My copy of Faebound is in the post and I'm so nervous and excited!
Eek hope you love it!
@@GavinReadsItAll thank you! Hope so tooooo!!!
So cool that you're coming to Norway :D 💜 If you have time to look into any bookshops in Oslo, I'd recommend the Ark Egertorget one! It's the one I go to whenever I travel by Oslo💜
my bf took me shopping & it was amazing ❤
We love a casual menty b. Sometimes they do just help lol. I've only recently found your channel but remember you do have a whole community around you supporting you on the down days
I’m one step closer to owning (albeit shared ownership) a flat of my own! For the first time in 28 (I’m 29 in May), I’ll be living on my own and I CANNOT WAIT ❤
Ngl - as a Norwegian - the pronunciations made me giggle a little, but it makes me really happy to see how excited you are! 🤭
I just finished Bride and really enjoyed it. Gets a bit spicy toward the end. And by the way, Jason Moana's favorite color is pink according to him on his series 'On The Roam'.
I feel that. I wanted to read One Piece vols 21 and 22 and my library only has one copy of each, now the person before me needed to have returned them by Halloween… I finally got them on the 19th December… oh I was pissed. Also they smelt strongly of strawberry lipgloss so that was an experience.
Omg you're coming here to Norway! It's beautiful here, especially outside/around Bergen with all the big cliffs and fjords. I've got family from there and live there each summer. But it's beautiful literally everywhere in the West. But I've heard "Nord Norge" = North Norway, and the south is as well lol. Like anywhere but here in the east of Norway has beautiful nature, to be honest. Have fun
I have Parable of the Sower to read here soon and when I say I'm excited and terrified to finally get to Octavia Butler. (Also, your videos have me wanting to start doing LEGO again. I haven't played w those since I was a kid.)
I've been sick all week but I have a new dream and it's joining one of those trips someday because they sound damn amazing 🤧
Would love to meet you one day ❤️ also get well soon!
I am so curious about where your middle grade shelves and books went!
Only the most PERFECT video to accompany me while I decay in bed (also with IBS :( had to cut coffee and milk!!)!! Thanks Gavin, I'm also obsessed with you building lego sets?!
🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hope you are reading something good. Best wishes.
I had to buy a book once because it was for a book club and I had reserved it at the library way in advance but the person who borrowed before me still hadn't returned it over a MONTH after the due date! I waited for eight weeks for no reason. I was so mad! Why can't people just return their books?!
On the plus side, I loved the book so I'm not as upset that I own it but still.
oof that coffee intake 🤣 I'm glad you're looking after yourself, and small changes can be sooo beneficial ☺️☺️
I really want glass coffee mugs too ahahah and I feel it on the warm drink being so comforting.
The rant about the person not returning the overdue book sent me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm sorry but that was so funny !!!
About amazing things happening: I did a workout that I procrastinated for a bit 💪🏽 I did all sorts of other workouts in between while pushing this in front of me like an unwanted cart. Also new mildliners arrived and I am currently awaiting my One Piece omnibus covering volumes 97, 98, 99 (which I havent read yet as I left Wano 2020 to be finished and never caught up xD).
