- In this video, I spend a week in a hobbit-inspired Shire House in order to read some of J. R. R. Tolkien's most famous novels - The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books. But will I finish all four books in the five nights I'm staying in the Shire house?

This is why I love watching Gavin videos. His production style and quality of videos are fantastical and make me want to go explore on my own. I am also always down for a movie length vlog from him. Forever a fan 😊
Aw thanks so much 🫶🏼
@@GavinReadsItAll I haven’t been on here for bit because of some not so great news with personal stuff. But to see people agree with comment and you replied. Thank you Gavin for being you and bringing some brightness to my life right now.
Not me chocking on my tea with you naming your café Tea Baggings 😭😂
Wow someone is excited for Tea Baggins to open 😂
I love it when Tom Bombadil said, "I bring a sort of merry fellow vibe to the timeline that serious fellows don't really like." lol
A movie-length production from Gavin? Yes, please. I'm so glad you had a good time. Thanks for all the hard work you put into your videos.
And thank you so much for watching 🙏🏼
Thank you for the "they're taking the hobbits to Eisengard!" bit 😂
It's the fact that it was actually snowing this week you shot this video for me! The Weather Gods really were on your side for once, combine that with your creativity and we have a 10/10 video.
Thank you 😭 and the timing really was so perfect
This is such a great idea for a cozy getaway! I love how you really immersed yourself during the reading and how you knocked them all out in 5 days. The ultimate readathon! “Tea baggins” 😂
Would 10/10 recommend cozy getaways
That bit at the end absolutely killed me “I’ll potter on” 😂😂😂😂 such a brilliant video, this is going to be one I watch over and over again!
Haha I didn’t even realise it but it fits since the person I was speaking too was staying in Hagrid’s Hut 😂
@@GavinReadsItAll😂 you live a truly magical life
9:07 I bought the Andy serkis audiobooks and IT IS THE LITERAL BEST EXPERIENCE READING A BOOK IVE EVER HAD. I read the whole series last year listening to him and ughhhh he’s so perfect 😭😭 100/10 narrator and actor
10 minutes in and I can already tell I'm gonna rewatch this vlog on repeat, so cosy and the LOTR vibes are perfection ❤
Aw yay I am so happy 🥰
OMG Gavin, this movie...I mean vlog... was incredible. It has inspired me to do my own Tolkien read-a-thon, watch-a-thon, and hobbit life week. My partner is going to be traveling for work and I am absolutely going to recreate this experience you've modeled while she's away. I will be re-watching this vlog as a part of my plans during that time.
Ahh that’s an amazing idea, I hope you have the best week!!
It's like we're also there and I LOVE IT, you're amazing, Gavin (precious actually)! 🌟 I'm in a whole LOTR mood now🗡🏹
No YOU’RE precious 😭 thank you
Gavin, this is a masterpiece! The coziest vibes, incredible editing, just so magical!
Aww I appreciate you!!
This was the most magical vlog you’ve done, Gav. I loved every second! 💜
Aw thanks Dana ❤️
Gavin!! I loved this video! I was seriously cracking up when you were crossing the kiddie bridge, I just knew you were going to do the thing.
Also, when you were reorganizing their shelves 😂 I would have done the same thing. This was so great!
Anyway, as for the books, it's my experience that LOTR is something that you love the more you read it, just because of the way he wrote it. It's too much to really appreciate the first time, you can't take it all in properly, so the more you read the more you love it, because you know it better.
One of my favorite quotes about LOTR is from the 1973 edition of the books by Peter S. Beagle:
"For in the end it is Middle-earth and its dwellers that we love, not Tolkien’s considerable gifts in showing it to us. I said once that the world he charts was there long before him, and I still believe it. He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fancies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day’s madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers-thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."
I wonder if there is some sort of hobbit house near me . . .
I only watched the very beginning of this vlog because I haven't read the books yet and so avoiding any spoilers, but OMG! GAVIN! This is so fn great so far!!! I LOVE how you filmed and edited the intro, and I'm honestly so jealous (but happy for you) that you got to stay in such a cute, cozy hobbit house!! Can't wait to read the books now and watch the rest of the vlog. Also, I'd like to say that 'Tea Baggins' is a GREAT name for your hobbit coffee/tea shop! 😂💚💚
Aww thank you 🥰
The perfect reading vlog doesnt exi
😮❤this is perfect🧙♂️🧝♂️
I never leave any comments but I have to say I absolutely adored this vlog and it's made me want to re-read the series. I truly appreciate all the hard work and commitment you put into your videos 💖
Surprisingly emotional at the end! This vlog captured the spirit of Middle Earth - Gavin, 'You bow to no one,' top tier content.
I would be a regular at Tea Baggins ☺️☺️😄 I had a stressful month so this video came just in the perfect time ❤ my cat's name is Bilbo because of the Hobbit and it always will be funny to hear his name 😂
We both love your videos, wishing you the bests 🥺
Haha I’d better set up some loyalty cards for Tea Baggins
1:01:08 Sean Astin the actor who plays Sam said “I think Frodo and Sam probably kissed it’s cannon to me” 😂
Haha well if Sean says that, it’s also cannon to me 😂
Ohh Gavin, this looks like such a great time! What a cute place to read Tolkien in 🙂
Maybe 'One Day', you can wander your way down here to New Zealand & do a vlog as you visit Hobbiton (which is wonderful!) and go around the country taking in the Lord Of The Rings movie set locations!?!
♥📚🎞📽🎬😍
Oh that would be a dream 😍
@@GavinReadsItAll 😊
Gavin! This has to be my favourite vlog of yours ❤️ it’s so charming and cozy, plus the music selection and the editing - perfection! well done 👏🏼 much love xx
Thank you so much, I really appreciate you ❤️
Hi Gavin! I'm usually a quiet viewer but a long time subscriber. This video is truly truly remarkable. The immense comfort it gave me after a long restless, exhausting few days. I will be rewatching this whenever my heart is heavy. Thank you!!
Love seeing you so joyful about a series blog as much as when you read one piece its so lovely to watch 😊
I’m listening to the LOTR audiobook on my commutes to work now because of you and it’s AMAZING! 💚
YEESS Laura I am so happy you are loving the audiobook!!
dude this is a dream vlog/video/straight up experience! I'm watching this and it's exactly what I would of done man. This is so cozy - hope you had a wonderful time!
OMG. At the start of The Return of the King segment of this video. After Gavin said he really wants to wash his hair I, Immediately, got an ad for shampoo. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Not the walking stick, cape and hat 😂😂you’re always so committed
This is making me do another reread of the books. If I could live in middle earth I would stay forever. I have often played the movie soundtracks in the cafe I work in, because I would love to have a shire themed cafe.
I really hope Gavin keeps making vlogs for a lot of years. There’s this unique feeling to his videos, that cozy, happy feeling! 🥹
Saving this and the other Shire video to watch again and again. You might get me through studying for the bar exam single handedly.
I was tearing up as soon as the music kicked in! But the cinematography here... PURE GOLD STANDARD
THANK YOU 😭
I am obsessed with this video! I’m glad you had a good time, it looks amazing! So atmospheric with the actual music as well. The transition from the movie to the taking the hobbits to Isengard song was so smooth it made me laugh out loud in a silent office at work 😂🙈
Haha glad you appreciate the taking the hobbits to Isengard part 😂
This video is perfect as I've just finished rewatching the extended edition of the movies with my mum
The fall of isengard is one of my favourite scenes in the films
I'm late to the party, but I REALLY appreciate that LOTR- inspired readalong session that you talked about on 47:43. I had it on a loop for many, many hours while reading. Everything about it - the ambiance, the sounds - is wonderful. Thank you, Gavin.❤
this was magical thank you Gavin!!🧙♂
1:05:00 I was so relieved when you said you'd put the book over where it belongs. 🥺🥰
Gaviiiiinnnn!!!! That intro!!!!! ❄️ 😍
Oh I just love when you do these kind of vlogs! So cozy!
And yes I would love to visit your coffee shop.
Also now you make me want to read The Lord of the Rings with the audiobooks narrated by Andy Serkis.
Love it!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Ahhhh the production quality of this vlog!!! 👏👏👏 This is so great Gavin, idk how you manage to top yourself every time with fun and creative ideas, but this is another masterpiece of a video!! 🥹😍
It's kind of funny because I discovered your channel a couple of months back and started searching to see if you had reviewed LOTR.
It's one of my favorite trilogies/book series and I was kind of shocked I couldn't find a video where you reviewed it lol.
This was an awesome surprise to see when you posted it 😀
Seriously the type of production that made me fall in love with your channel
I’ve been waiting for it!!! Great length, just what I need tonight!
Hope you enjoy 🫶🏼
Your passion for reading radiates from this video. So refreshing, & although I’ve never read this series, I’m feeling it!! Thanks for sharing all this, Gavin.
I'm bit late to the party but I absolutely loved this video
This was the most magical, wonderful vlog I've ever seen! The Gandalf scenes! 🧙♂🤣 Loved this!!!
I'm late! But Gav Gav, your videos are so good my friend ❤. You do such a good job.
This was an awesome video! 😊👍 Thank you for your hard work!!
Thank you so much for watching
You are such a legend for doing this.
Loved this one Gavin! Looked like you had the best time and the shires so cute. I actually DNF the fellowship the other day but maybe I'll just have to try going to the shire and fully immersing myself like you did to get on with it better
This was the coziest video ever Gavin! Loved it so much 😊 I definitely need to give the Andy Serkis audio books a go!
Incredible, just incredible! This is so cozy & fun, you're amazing Gavin! ❤
Aw thank you Sarah ❤️
