i don’t know if you’ve ever read large print books before, but i HAVE to read only large print due a rare eye condition that has me practically blind, but i wanted to mention that it’s been shown that large print format books increases reading comprehension, reading speed, etc, even in readers who do not have vision problems. you may find that once you go large print format, you won’t go back!
Oh wow, I’ve never heard that. I like reading large print, but I read most of my books from the library, and I’m hesitant to take a LP copy of a book unless it’s the only one available. I don’t want to take it away from people who can only read those ones.
You finally read Shiver!! 😍 I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore. 😂 I'm just so happy you enjoyed it, after I've been recommending it to you for the last two years 😅 lol I tease but, I've just never read a book that screamed "this is a Gabby book!" as much as Shiver did when I first read it. Thank you for the entertaining vlog, as always! 💙
I think “What Happened to Nina” is more a slow burn mystery than a thriller. I thought it was really well-written and one of my favorite books of the year so far!
Hi Gabby, I just watched your previous video, and seeing you like The Memory Police, I would recommend you read Malice or The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino. He is one of the best Japanese authors in murder mysteries!
I am loving this season of Big Brother! I can't believe that they have used the POV every time so far (has it been every time or almost every time?}. I also can't believe that Angela is still there. I personally hated it when Tucker got voted out. He was so much fun to watch. At first, I didn't know if I would love the A.I. theme, but I really am liking it.
Yes! How to Solve Your Own Murder has SO many characters. Every new page had some new person to keep track of and figure out how they fit in the past and present. I absolutely could not read it slowly. Had to keep plugging through it because if I missed too much time, I’d forget who everyone was.
So glad you read Shiver and liked it. I felt the same about the end but overall a good one. I enjoy your reading vlogs and getting to see the area you live in.
lol i watch selling sunset now because of my wife. it was totally one of those shows i rolled my eyes at when she would put it on but then i got sucked IN after like season 5 hah.
That's always my problem with classic murder mysteries is the amount of characters. I know its to make it difficult to figure out who the killer is, but i have such a poor memory!
Just came to suggest adding a little milk of some sort to your eggs to make them better and they do get a weird flavor if you cook them too long. There’s tons of recipes on Pinterest!! Thanks for the video as always 💜✌🏻
Great vlog once again! I dnf'd How to solve your own murder very early on when I tried it a few months ago. My breaking point was when Annie sent an unedited version of her first novel to publishing houses because she's just so fun and quirky 🙄😡 I just can't read about characters who are that stupid 😂
What happened to Nina is definitely NOT worth finishing. I pushed through it and it was painful. You made the right call!!! Stick with your gut, gabby ❤❤
I know you didn't like Kulti but the FMC, Sal, being a professional soccer player is one of the reasons it is one of my favorite contemporary romance books. It is so hard to find books with successful female athletes.
I really enjoyed Ellie Black but when I read, I want to disconnect from reality! I'm ok with far fetched except for The Perfect Marriage and how he had no blood on him at all!!!! 😂
I can't wait for you to read We Used To Live Here. It was so absolutely frustrating, I have so many beefs with the book, I want your opinion. If there is not a second book, then I am giving it a low review. I have never been so angry with a book before.
I always get mad at books endings 😅 I feel I should stop reading, but I don't 😂all this time reading, just for them to end?! What?! 😠😩 Lol I heard that book was SOOOOO good 🤔 i myself am having second thoughts in reading it
I dnfed The Return of Ellie Black, I found the writing extremely cheesy and on the nose with social commentary. Like the author was trying to be smart but ended up overexplaining the message she was trying to get across.
I feel like people should have to explain why they think YOU will like their recommendation in order to be featured in the video, not just make random recommendations of books that THEY like.
@@WishAtElevenEleven What makes you think that people are recommending books that they like? A reason for this could be those people have the same or similar reading taste as Gabby so they think that whatever book they like Gabby would enjoy it as well
@@inter_estingthe reason I think people are just recommending things that THEY like is because they recommended a detective novel and a cozy mystery, which are bad recommendations for Gabby.
@@WishAtElevenEleven You expect everybody to have a mental note of all the tropes Gabby dislikes? Some people might be new to her channel so they wouldn't know what she doesn’t like
@@inter_estingnot at all. I am relatively new here as well. But I do expect that you have at least some knowledge of them if you’re going to make a recommendation. Otherwise how is your recommendation relevant at all?
@@WishAtElevenEleven, Do you want people to scour all her videos to see what tropes she likes and dislikes? Because that's the only way for people to discover her taste. Unless she tells you herself, but she not going to do that every time she asks people for recommendations
Thank you for watching the debate and making an educated choice for yourself and thank you for not preaching to us. I watched your video to get away from politics and all the Diddy stuff.
@@WishAtElevenEleven I never said she couldn't dislike those things. I just found it weird how she complained about that when those stuff are what make a cozy mystery a cozy mystery. In the video she said that she still wanted to read the book because it got recommended a lot, but if the book didn't fit what she for then why did she add it to list of books to read for this video? She could have simply ignored it and we would have never known
Enjoyed Ellie Black + Freefall. Felt the same as you about How to Solve 📖. 🥱 Too many characters that weren't fleshed out IMO. Will check out Shiver. I love wintery thrillers. Thanks!

That is why I love my ereader; I can bump up the font.
That is so interesting!
@@Neil-writer-authorme too! This is what I came here to comment :)

My library has a section for large print copies of books but I find it is really restricted compared to all the other books
That beautiful refreshing scent after a fresh rain is called petrichor.
Shiver is one of my favorites! I’m glad you liked it. I’m all about some snowy thrillers.
I CANNOT wait to discuss We Used To Live Here 😅 I NEED to talk to someone about it 🤣
You finally read Shiver!! 😍 I'm not sure what to do with myself anymore. 😂

Yesss ahhh thanks so much for the rec!! I’m so glad I loved it as much as I did 😍
I loved the return of Ellie black 😤 100% far fetched lol, but so addictive
Omg so excited about you reading Shiver!! It's a 5 star for me
27:37 The blue/purple blanket you laid out on the ground looks gorgeous 🤩 and more structured-looking than a normal blanket
omg I’m so glad you read my recommendation! I’m sorry it wasn’t a favorite and was predictable for you but glad you still enjoyed it overall! ❤️
@@ymr92461 thanks so much for the rec!!! I appreciate it 🥰🥰🥰

I love your reading videos I be looking forward to them all week waiting!😊happy reading! ❤😊
I wish I knew what Washington smelled like *sighhh* it would make my twilight reread a 4D experience lol
@@AliDoisRead 😂😂😭😭
The footage of you in the park looked amazing!
@@17caria thank you!!!

I always laugh when you bring up challengers because that is me talking about it every chance I get 😂😂
😂😂😂
I swear I saw you reading Shiver before!? I think I read it because you recommended it and it was so good! I'm confused😂❤
Heeeeyy Gabbyyyy I recently watched Knives Out it's great! Happy reading for Spooky Season!!!
So goad you liked Shiver! Her second novel, The Swell is all about surfing and reminded a little of Reckless Girls but better
I usually don't like detective povs either but The Return of Ellie Black now sounds so intriguing to me!
Definitely going to order Shiver now, thanks Gabby! I enjoyed your vlog!
I am loving this season of Big Brother! I can't believe that they have used the POV every time so far (has it been every time or almost every time?}. I also can't believe that Angela is still there.

I loved What Happened to Nina! I don’t think it was shocking but so well written
Hi Gabby, I read Return of Ellie Black. I really enjoyed it.
The outcome of these ratings was far different than I anticipated!!
So glad you read Shiver and liked it. I felt the same about the end but overall a good one. I enjoy your reading vlogs and getting to see the area you live in.
Im reading How to Solve Your Own Murder in November. From what you said I will probably love it 😅 i adore cosy mysteries
@@ReadingNymph I hope you enjoy it!! 💖
I definitely enjoyed it and I love cozy mysteries
I added Allie Reynolds' books on my TBR because her followup The Swell is a thriller set in Australia that I found out about via the blog CrimeReads
I really loved What Happened to Nina. For me it was a really great message about teenage relationship abuse
lol i watch selling sunset now because of my wife. it was totally one of those shows i rolled my eyes at when she would put it on but then i got sucked IN after like season 5 hah.
@@welldonebooks hahahah it really gets so addicting 😂🤭 my ultimate guilty pleasure show hahaha

No burrata is a superior cheese and I stand by that
Enjoyed very much so thx. The only horror story of which I can think is Jaws. It's a good story although I never quite understood the subplot.
Definitely will check out emiko jean book i really enjoyed mika in real life and Tokyo ever after
I know you didn't like Kulti but the FMC, Sal, being a professional soccer player is one of the reasons it is one of my favorite contemporary romance books. It is so hard to find books with successful female athletes.
Getting to read all the time and do whatever would be nice…
Incidents around the house ❤
I’ve only read shiver from your books and I liked ir .i Gabe it 4 stars.
I will be reading Shiver thank you I think I will love it
I read and really enjoyed How to solve your own murder, but I had a feeling it wasn't your style.
16:40 timestamping for when I come back here later
I really enjoyed Ellie Black but when I read, I want to disconnect from reality! I'm ok with far fetched except for The Perfect Marriage and how he had no blood on him at all!!!! 😂
Please read Chevy Stevens an Heather Gudenkauf's book
I just finished If You Tell by Gregg Olson. It's a true story based on Washington. If you haven't read it to should.
Great vlog 📚🎃🦇💀👻☕🍂🍁🍄🦊
Have you seen ( Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?) Show is so interesting b
Did you read no exit before? If u didn’t read it is soo good
Gabby, please review How To Survove A Horror Movie by Scarlett Dun,ore!
Is your trip in October to Italy still happening I haven’t seen you mention it in a RUclips video in a while?
@@Maevalen sadly the trip to Italy got cancelled by Trova Trip 😭 I’ll be talking about it more in my October tbr video soon!

@@AngieReadsBooks omg hahahha I’ll be hearing that song forever 😂🤭
😻
I love watching Big Brother! This season is wild. Not a fan of Angela . I don't care who wins just not her...
I always wonder why people recommend you books that have tropes you don’t like? It’s bizzare to me
probably because not everyone has an extensive knowledge of every trope she dislikes?
You expect people to have a list of all the tropes she don't like?
I dnfed The Return of Ellie Black, I found the writing extremely cheesy and on the nose with social commentary. Like the author was trying to be smart but ended up overexplaining the message she was trying to get across.
I agree some of the writing was very cheesy and some of the social commentary felt a little too on the nose!
I gave it a 2 star too. I think it was a plodding 3 stars but didn’t love the writing and then the ending killed me

It’s fair to dislike those things though, especially when the book doesn’t fit what she asked for

@@inter_esting sorry lol I wanted to give it a shot anyway! But unfortunately it’s not my thing 😅
@@inter_estingmy guess is that she wanted to choose all of the books with the highest number of recommendations that she had not read before.
