I LOVE this series! Also, when you were standing in front of your One Piece & Kingdom Hearts collection and then unboxed the LOTR lego set - my husband said, "I think Gav and I would get along really well." You have another fan in this house! ❤
Seeing you and Jordaline sprint together made me so nostalgic and realized how much I miss doing stuff like this. Y’all really are two of the most fun and interactive creators on this side of the internet. Thank you both for continuing to create content. Cause you both brighten up my day each and every time you post or comment or do literally ANYthing
For the fairyloot, as long as you have an active subscription on your account, you get the early access. So you safe to cancel the YA/Adult combo if you keep the romantasy!
ADORED this format, I can't wait to keep seeing it in the future. Its such a fun way to make us reflect on if we're keeping books because we like them or just because we're collecting books. I might do this myself :D
I love that more people are getting into Dungeon Crawler Carl it’s such a great series. I started reading it before it was traditionally published and now that it is more people will find it and I can’t wait
No worries if it's too much work but would LOVE an unhaul video, your unhaul videos are my absolute favorite and calm me down so much. I save them and re-watch them any time my anxiety is really bad and they help so much. I can almost copy you word for word in some of them now. Lol
If you email Fairyloot you can have them split your combo box and then you can just keep one. But yes you get early access with any of their monthly subscriptions, romantasy included ❤️
OMG. You’re the first booktuber that I’ve seen that has listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl. This whole series is FREAKING AMAZING. So funny. So good. I love it so much. The whole series is addictive.
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a great example of why different book covers are so important! I've only ever seen a kind of '80's 'classic' scifi style cover for it, and that never really convinced me to see what the story's about. But what you described sounds exactly like something I would enjoy, and the cover you showed is much more appealing to me. So, on my TBR it goes 😁 I would thank you, but at this point I'll be 80 by the time I've finally finished my TBR, I really don't need more titles to add 😂
The audible cover he showed is the indie cover. It was recently picked up by a traditional publisher and changed the covers. I like the indie ones so much better.
@@taylorleigh3813 I saw a different cover, with him and the cat standing and the title in a kind of Indiana Jones style. Same illustration style though. I'm not a big fan of those covers, but that's why I said it's important to have *different* cover designs; people have different tastes, and what might pull one person in can be what puts someone else off. So I like this new (or I guess it's new, I hadn't seen it before at least) design better! Gives off that whimsical video game vibe Gavin describes, which I really didn't get from the indie cover I saw. (Edited to add: I hadn't seen the Audible cover when watching the video, but went back to look for it after reading your comment. So the cover I'm referring to in my original comment is the new one)
This series has inspired me to do my own read or chuck type thing. Worked on my spreadsheet tonight so when I finish a book I can randomly choose the next one, looking forward to it :)
Welcome to the world of LitRPG, He Who Fights with Monsters is another interesting series for the future. Loving your videos, thank you for all you do!!
You sold me on Dungeon Crawler Carl lmao. I just finished The Travelling Cat Chronicles and am itching for another book with a talking cat in it. Thanks!
Yes, me too! I really enjoyed the other LEGO videos. I would like it if Gav builds at least one of them in a video, but I also understand it's nice to have a hobby that's separate from YT. (Sorry if he discussed this in the video, I watched it while painting my nails and didn't catch everything that was talked about)
I would love an unhaul video; I always find them so interesting to watch. The Nightmare before Christmas lego set looks amazing! I really want to get one for myself. I don't think it's bad if it takes time to put a set together; you're just enjoying yourself and the process. :)
We've got to find you that haunted lighthouse to stay at, Gav. I am *determined* to see this happen for you. And previously I recommended Widow's Point by Richard and Billy Chizmar as the perfect book for such a trip, but I have an update on that: It's still the perfect book, though the novella is out of print... but it's being expanded and rereleased in 2025! I'll pester you when it's finally out so it can stay on your radar because you deserve a quality spooky book when we get you to that lighthouse.
Any MG or YA books the library doesn't take, see if a local hospital (children's or a regular one) wants any maybe? Teens often get forgotten about in the pediatrics ward.
Absolutely! I actually donated to two different mental health hospitals for children in Newcastle earlier this year so if my local library can’t take some, I’ll donate to children’s hospitals
Fairyloot --- as a combo subscriber you can ask them to split them out into separate ya and adult subscriptions, and then cancel the one you don't want. You just have to email them.
I love the "Limbo-ss" designation for the soft dnf. Because it is very real that you can read something that you're vibing with so much in the moment and then anything you try and read after that, even if it's great, doesn't feel great after such a high. I'm glad you're trusting your gut and keeping it even if you end up still not liking it later. To paraphrase Treebeard, "Don't be so hasty, little hobbit" 😂
You should be able to soft dnf in this series without unhauling (because the toss is an unhaul or hard dnf), or simply pass if you don’t want to read that genre. I personally don’t mind if you mood read and chose to read down your audio instead
Hey Gavin. I love your channel so much. I'm sure your aware but be careful with that pretty window. My shelves were in the same position as my window that yours is and we just recently noticed the sun was ruining so many of my books. Especially all my sprayed edges. Literally bleaching all the colors out and turning some yellow. It was truly heartbreaking.
I got my daughter a book embosser for Christmas and I can’t wait to see her reaction 🤗. Your laughter is infectious, you guys had me cracking up and I had no idea why 😂.
I did try this but it also removed the numbers from the side, so it would go 1, 4, 5, 8, 11 etc. so if I did the random number generator, I would still need to click it a few times to get a usable number
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro was probably one of my favourite books I've read this year. I could yell about it from the rooftops. However... I was so worried when I saw you pick it. I absolutely loved it, but from all I've seen it seems my opinion is very unpopular.
I love the emboss or toss videos! My sister bought me an embosser for my birthday years ago and I use it for books that I want to keep forever. It's great.
You know I bought the same exclusive and signed edition of Floating Hotel (actually it was a pre-order) and then I DNF'd after 60 pages 😭😭 I'm glad to know I didn't miss out on reading the rest!
Hello, Gavin! I love your cats! Ash and Tobu are adorable! Godkiller was one of my favorite books I read last year and was excited to see that you kept it!
I did an unhaul based on just reading the first 10ish pages of books I don't know much about to clear some shelf space but out of 20 books only tossed 3. Still fun to do because it bounced some books way up on my TBR.
As a Latine person, the state of Latine SFF is absolutely abysmal 😭 Like yeah that book is beautiful but it doesn't matter if the substance itself is trash, we deserve so much better 🙃
I'm in the process of revamping my own spreadsheet. And when I say revamping I mean moving them from numbers to sheets because numbers is so arcaic and sad. Theres no real way to automate like I want to on the program. I added my kindle books in this time around because they were fully neglected by me this year. So I think thats a great idea to add them!
the only book I'm really sad you unhauled is Bonesmith. Yes, it's YA, but it's actually REALLY good, and the sequel Ghostsmith really stuck the landing with both upping the stakes and providing great character growth and worldbuilding to the story.
I had the same thoughts about Illumicrate and ended up cancelling my subscription. I was sad, because I really liked some of the items in my boxes. But I literally just took all my Illumicrate books to my local bookstore for credit.
Maybe you could do the embossing at your desk or table to make it easier? Set up the camera and that way you aren't holding up the weight of the book while you stamp it
Godkiller was such a disappointment this year that it was difficult for me to finish it, and now when I look at it I feel betrayed. That COVER is STUNNING and for WHAT 😔?! I'm happy you enjoyed it though.
Next time use little plastic bowls for the small pieces,that way they will not fall. such a fun project,I think you DO give yourself the Best christmas presents
So fun fact: one of the first Orochi volumes that came over to the US, years ago, was just the Blood story. I think I have it somewhere. It's an interesting story and it still kind of reminds me of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane.
I would love to see the unhaul but understand if you're not as interested in filming it! It's good to mood read sometimes too, you're so right. I liked godkiller more than you but I did have a good time with the first book as well and need to continue on to the sequel. Orbital sounds a bit meh to me so I am glad I decided to pass up on that one.
If you enjoyed dungeon crawler Carl you would love He who fights monsters on audible. There is definitely a place for something like this we listen to these to help my husband get of to sleep. Sadly it keeps me awake laughing.
I know you left it on the shelf but Daughter of the Moon Goddess and it's sequel (Heart of the Sun Warrior?) were actually REALLY disappointing. Way immature, such a ridiculous love triangle, and the lore of the world really isn't flushed out well.
I personally was not a fan of the wolf of Oren-yaro. The set-up was interesting, but I didn’t care about her character or the plot after that, and I think that’s a pretty common opinion? You might want to check out some reviews of it
Take a shot every time I say a book loses my interest 😂 (also don’t forget to like the video 👍🏼)
I don't want to die lol
@@boxersandbooks we can take a shot of water, gotta stay hydrated 💪🏻
This is why you're my fave. You actually fixed the spreadsheet instead of leaving it and complaining everytime you were gonna use it.
I think you need to do at least 1 mood read in every Emboss or Toss video from now on!
Oh I second this
Yes! As a treat.
I LOVE this series! Also, when you were standing in front of your One Piece & Kingdom Hearts collection and then unboxed the LOTR lego set - my husband said, "I think Gav and I would get along really well." You have another fan in this house! ❤
YES WE WOULD GET ON SO WELL adopt me please 🙏🏼

Yess to an unhaul video 🤩

Do it 👀
i think you need to take a photo of ash with a top hat on because his mustache makes him look very distinguished
I really do need to do this haha he’ll hate it, but we will love it
@GavinReadsItAll you could probably find a filter so you can get the look without upsetting him!
I love that more people are getting into Dungeon Crawler Carl it’s such a great series. I started reading it before it was traditionally published and now that it is more people will find it and I can’t wait
Forgive me for asking but how’d you mean reading it before it was traditionally published? Was it an audio book to begin with?
@introvertgoblin it is actually an Indy series and the seventh book just recently came out
No worries if it's too much work but would LOVE an unhaul video, your unhaul videos are my absolute favorite and calm me down so much. I save them and re-watch them any time my anxiety is really bad and they help so much. I can almost copy you word for word in some of them now. Lol
I like that with the unhaul and haul piles back to back I can see that your reading preferences are switching from ya to adult reads.
If you email Fairyloot you can have them split your combo box and then you can just keep one. But yes you get early access with any of their monthly subscriptions, romantasy included ❤️
OMG. You’re the first booktuber that I’ve seen that has listened to Dungeon Crawler Carl. This whole series is FREAKING AMAZING. So funny. So good. I love it so much. The whole series is addictive.
We need to plan the DCC booktube takeover for 2025

I’m a simple man; I see DCC in the thumbnail, I click. Great video as always
Thank you, and now when I see DCC in a thumbnail, I also click, I’m obsessed
This series has inspired me to do my own read or chuck type thing. Worked on my spreadsheet tonight so when I finish a book I can randomly choose the next one, looking forward to it :)
That’s awesome, best of luck with your journey
I am so happy you enjoyed Dungeon Crawler Carl! By far one of the best audio narrators I’ve ever enjoyed, and the series just gets better!
I love seeing all the love for DCC in the comments
Yes to the unhaul video🎉🎉🎉
Welcome to the world of LitRPG, He Who Fights with Monsters is another interesting series for the future.
Loving your videos, thank you for all you do!!
Thank you for the recommendation cause I really do want to check out more now
I love Emboss or Toss, great name choice.
I am loving this series, can't wait for the next episode!
Please do the unhaul video, I really love watching them!
I’m not like other girls because I didn’t tell Gavin to fix his spreadsheet.
(Also, we just love your honesty ❤)
You sold me on Dungeon Crawler Carl lmao. I just finished The Travelling Cat Chronicles and am itching for another book with a talking cat in it. Thanks!
And now I wanna read Travelling Cat Chronicles so thank YOU for the recommendation
Love an unhaul vid! Please do!
I’m so happy to see you having time for a hobby that you love. Legos are such a calming and peaceful activity and you deserve it.
Dungeon Crawler Carl sounds like Solo Leveling but more lighthearted and funnier. I definitely need to check it out now.
I need to check out Solo Leveling 👀
I think I'm most excited to watch you do the Lego sets you bought😍😩
Yes, me too! I really enjoyed the other LEGO videos. I would like it if Gav builds at least one of them in a video, but I also understand it's nice to have a hobby that's separate from YT. (Sorry if he discussed this in the video, I watched it while painting my nails and didn't catch everything that was talked about)
@meikusje Yes, I loved watching him do the titanic set😁... towards the end of the video, he said he would show us a Lego set in his next vlog😊
I would love an unhaul video; I always find them so interesting to watch.
The Nightmare before Christmas lego set looks amazing! I really want to get one for myself. I don't think it's bad if it takes time to put a set together; you're just enjoying yourself and the process. :)
You should do a video where you read/listen to books about witches while creating the Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sisters house
So glad you have done another one of these Videos, love them and you, thank you Gav xx
I love this video series! And yes to Unhaul Videos, I love them ♥️
1:06:11 the cat commentary 😂😂😂
Yes to the unhaul video.
Oh wait noooo! BONESMITH is actually really good! I generally don’t love YA but that series was such a fun time.
I knew you'd love Dungeon Crawler Carl ❤️. Best series I've read in a long long time!

This series has convinced me to do the same with my own books. So I have bought a stamp to stamp my books that I adore.
Ooooh yes I love this series! 🙌 The title is great too 😊 I should probably do something similar with my tbr!
