It’s freaking crazy how when I first fell in love with reading, I was obsessed with finishing books as fast as possible for no particular reason. All the while not being aware of the existence of BookTube for like 3 years (ik like wth was I doing without people like Christine?! 😭). Now I finish books as fast I can, because I can’t help but be overly excited to watch her booktalks 😂 Anyway...back to the video! 🤗
Sad. I still love the books but honestly don't blame Christine for not wanting to talk about those books. A certain someone ruined it for a lot of people. Does she not talk about it for the same reason most of us don't? I will forever love the books and in this case separate the art from the author. I do not support the author and their views at all, just making it clear.
Heather Gonzalez the series was never my vibe. it does break my heart, however, that this situation ruined the series for so many who grew up with it. me, i grew up with twilight and percy jackson, as well as other book series like the lunar chronicles and shatter me, so i understand how heart shattering it could be to have this huge piece of you get corrupted by the author’s wrongful views. i wish it wasn’t this way, and i’m glad people like christine are acknowledging (however slightly) that the author shouldn’t be supported when they have such harmful ideologies. transphobia is wrong, and this is a wonderful case scenario of separating the art from the artist 💛
Heather Gonzalez you can separate the art from the author, but you can’t separate the money from her wallet. Any endorsement of HP can further spur sales that support the transphobic author.
@@suhani2022 JKR has been increasingly transphobic online the past several years and in the past few months especially she’s been spewing really hurtful ideology. Since JKR is still getting money from all Harry Potter books/movies/etc, a bunch of people have divorced themselves from her and the series in support of trans people.
THAT WAS SUCH AN INTENSE CHALLENGE! All the falling, screaming, and yelling was hilarious to watch. Loved the video, Christine! Also: I’m so excited for “Better Together!” June can’t come fast enough!

I can’t wait for it to be June !!! I already requested at my library!! And my good friend is the one who approves purchases for my county soooooo this one is in the bag ! 😂😂😂
when in the purple shelf she has a book 9 letters in top of a book where a main character wears glasses in top of a book where cybercrime is a plot point in top of a appolo
This was so intense I forgot about my period cramps for 14 minutes god bless 🙌 now to binge your other stuff... 👌 Hope you're doing okay with everything that's going on atm sending *huuugs* from across the pond ❤
Book with a main character who wears glasses. Christine: "uuuuhhhh" Me: *Frantically yelling at the top of my lungs trying to help* HARRY POTTER!! CHRISTINE! HARRY POTTER!!! YOU KNOW THIS! CHRISTINE!!"
Fox in the plot, hmm do you have The Little Prince in your shelf? I laughed when you did the narrow font prompt. I think it was narrow front cover though. Love you Christine! Plus the bonus one was about having 3 or more prompts in one book not an anthology. It could've been Throne of Glass, Outlander or Breaking Dawn! 😂
Thank you for this video!!!!!! You did GREAT! And I’m SOOO EXCITED FOR BETTER TOGETHER!!! (Also... I too was spoiled for The Burning Maze... I don’t know what you were spoiled on (I really hope it’s not what I’m thinking about) but READ IT! It’s... I actually have no words for it... but just read it)
i followed along by picking out books from my bookshelf while sitting in bed. was very impressed with myself that i remembered that night world was published the year i was born.
Loved this video! You did amazing :D OMG, the challenge "between this and this many pages" is the most obnoxious...I swear I spent like 10 minutes on that question alone for the first "Do I have that book" challenge before giving up. Apparently I do not have the ability to guess page count by looking at a book XD
Fox in the plot, does A Court of Throns and Roses count?? 😂 I don't want to spoil anyone. But a certain someone has a fox mask. Does that count? Hahaha
I keep checking your website and Barnes & Noble's website to see if there is an ISBN number for a signed copy will there be signed copies available for pre-order
im reading harry potter right now my friendss at sschool are reading it my teacher is a big a harry potter fan im on chamber of secrets and im in love with it
after all these years, Christine still manages to blow out my eardrums with her music editing
book signed by the author, I was half expecting you to grab Again but Better and a pen :p
And the question that asked for the author with the same number of letters in their name 😂
I still remember getting to the end of Twilight, assuming it was going to be a one off and being so excited that a sequel was on the way
throne of glass would have counted for the bonus. Mismatched covers, broken spine, signed by the author
You got the bonus point as well. Breaking Dawn had a broken spine, has a shape-shifter, and was signed by the author.
The only book tuber I have been following for about 3 years now wow
She was the first booktuber I discovered
@@bryantbboyd3690 same
Just realised I’ve been here for eight 😳
SAME, SINCE I WAS 13
Last time I was this early, we all still believed that Better Together was a sequel to ABB
LOL
We love a rushing Christine
It's like a birb name! 🐦🐦🐦
you’re bookshelf are such goals ❤️
Christine: 9 letters
Me: *stares at her own book*

Anyway...back to the video! 🤗
there was a subtle dose of “let’s not talk about harry potter and jk rowling” in this video and i loved it
Sad. I still love the books but honestly don't blame Christine for not wanting to talk about those books. A certain someone ruined it for a lot of people. Does she not talk about it for the same reason most of us don't?

Wait I didn't understand this comment

“Do you have a book originally in another language”
Me, a Dane who reads mostly American or English literature: ‘stares at bookshelf not knowing which book to pick because the options are overwhelming’
wait a sec, "a book with a narrow font on the cover"? You sure it ain't "a book with a narrow front cover"?😂
HAHAHA this is exactly what I was thinking
“A book where the main character wears glasses” does The Blood of Olympus count? Jason’s a main character, he wears glasses and he’s not written by you know who
Legend is actually a quartet! There's a 4th book called Rebel and it ties up the characters stories really well
A Jesse video and a Christine video in the same day! My life has been perfected.
yay!!! I remember suggesting this in the Instagram question thing
Wow I just noticed she organizes her bookshelf by color! So cute!
damn the IRREVELANCE of glasses book in this video... chefs kiss
Me, watching this, yelling at the screen OUTLANDER HAS NINE LETTERS
Lol I'm DECEASED, aw Christine tried so hard and it was right in front of her nose.
THE GLASSES WEARING SHADE 💀bless you i loved that
I love your lipstick choice, as always. That just screams confidence to me.
Yaaayyy these are my fav! Im so excited for ur book!
Breaking dawn was a bonus point! It covered 3 prompts; broken spine, signed by the author, and shape shifters!
Outlander was published in 1991 (around your birthday), is completely red and it have the same amount of letters as in your name :)
can we all just agree that DANIEL RADCLIFF WROTE THE HARRY POTTER SERIES

A court of thorns and roses has a fox!!! the fox mask that Lucian has

🎉🤩📚
Imm soo exited. BECAUSE OF UR NOVVEL.TOTALY GETTING IT!😘
when in the purple shelf she has a book 9 letters in top of a book where a main character wears glasses in top of a book where cybercrime is a plot point in top of a appolo
I'm so excited for your book!!!! Also, the covers make my heart so happy
This was so funny. I love how mad you got when some of the books didn’t get a point. So competitive (like me lol)
The snub on HP though. It’s not his fault his creator is a nitwit :(
No one:
Christine: YEs I dO I Do I dooooo
This was so intense I forgot about my period cramps for 14 minutes god bless 🙌 now to binge your other stuff... 👌
Hope you're doing okay with everything that's going on atm sending *huuugs* from across the pond ❤
Yaaay love these challenges!!
Yesss read trails Of Apollo...The last book just came out like 4 days ago CAN YOU BELIEVE IT'S THE END OF CAMP HALF BLOOD CHRONICLES?!?!
07:21 I laugh myself death by the cover of Throne of Glass. Really Celaena her face!🤣. (Nice Challenge I really enjoyed it.)
I missed these types of videos so much 💖
xtine, thank u for entertaining me for years now!!!
You should do a Restore Me book talk!!
During the one that said with the same amount of letter with your name i was yelling DIVERGENT
Christine: *panicking about being unable to find a 9-letter title*
Me: *staring the whole time at the very prominent spine that said 'Angelfall'*
0:56 🎶LETS GET DOWN TO BUSINESS TO DEFEAT THE HUNS🎶...im sorry i had to xoxo
Wait, wasn't the question "a book with a narrow front cover" not "a book with narrow font on the cover"?
I don’t know how you kept that sweater on with the heat, but you did, and I’m proud
IVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO QUICKLY. I love Christine and bookshelf challenges
I love competitive Christine especially against HERSELF 🤣🤣
Book with a main character who wears glasses.
Christine: "uuuuhhhh"
Me: *Frantically yelling at the top of my lungs trying to help* HARRY POTTER!! CHRISTINE! HARRY POTTER!!! YOU KNOW THIS! CHRISTINE!!"
There's drama with the harry potter books (the author saying some stuff that is messed up) a lot of people just won't talk about it now
I requested this on Instagram!! YAY!!
Congrats on your book Christine!
Love your style and videos!
thank you =)
Ooo the page number one would have stressed me out 😂
3:39 You could've picked "let's say goodnight to every object ever"
lol it's not on this shelf XD
I love it when you do book challenges! This was fun. Good job 😂
You've probably answered this question before, but where did you get you bookshelf from ???? I really like it, and i need a new one !
Fox in the plot, hmm do you have The Little Prince in your shelf?
I laughed when you did the narrow font prompt. I think it was narrow front cover though. Love you Christine!
Plus the bonus one was about having 3 or more prompts in one book not an anthology. It could've been Throne of Glass, Outlander or Breaking Dawn! 😂
I had a lot of fun watching this video 🥰 I missed you, Christine.
I love the “uh uh I don’t want to put this one but okay”
Thank you for this video!!!!!! You did GREAT! And I’m SOOO EXCITED FOR BETTER TOGETHER!!! (Also... I too was spoiled for The Burning Maze... I don’t know what you were spoiled on (I really hope it’s not what I’m thinking about) but READ IT! It’s... I actually have no words for it... but just read it)
Christine just turns into a frustrated book gremlin in this video 😂
For signed book you could just sign ABB
Or is that cheating
I mean it works, I guess.
Fun and energetic! Thank you.
I just realized Christine got the bonus point with Breaking Dawn (Signed by the author, shape-shifters, broken spine.)
i followed along by picking out books from my bookshelf while sitting in bed. was very impressed with myself that i remembered that night world was published the year i was born.
Your a winner keep up the good work
You should do more tag books
Remember stories I ate this month lol
I freaked out when the Asian Author popped up,LOVE THAT AUTHOR SO MUCH!!!!!!!!
Loved this video! You did amazing :D
OMG, the challenge "between this and this many pages" is the most obnoxious...I swear I spent like 10 minutes on that question alone for the first "Do I have that book" challenge before giving up. Apparently I do not have the ability to guess page count by looking at a book XD
The Harry Potter shade 😂 We have no choice but to stan!
Fox in the plot, does A Court of Throns and Roses count?? 😂 I don't want to spoil anyone. But a certain someone has a fox mask. Does that count? Hahaha
My adrenaline was rushing so much throughout that whole video...
While she was looking for the book with a title of 9 letters, I kept looking at a book that said "Angelfall" and it certainly had 9 letters hahaha
You have so many giant books! 📚📚📚
I REALLY DO =D I LIKE EM THAT WAY
@@polandbananasBOOKS 😁
Christine I’m Stressed!!!! 😂
I was SCREAMING Crescent City!
Furthermore by Tahera Mafi has a fox on the cover...
LOL it's not on this shelf
Can someone tell me where she found that bookself that's on the other side of the tv? I didn't realise; and I need one like it.
I'm reading the host right now
WOOO
Omg! Thank you so much for doing our tag!! 😍😱
I got real anxious for that banana. Glad it’s okay.
Highly recommend the Brown Sisters series by Talia Hibbert. You would definitely love them!
Christine is just the best💕
Me playing along while watching and then choosing books that I technically own but are at my mum's house :P
I keep checking your website and Barnes & Noble's website to see if there is an ISBN number for a signed copy will there be signed copies available for pre-order
i love ur videos ur a lovely person bless u
I would be willing to be punched in the face for an arc of Better Together. 😂
City of bones would have worked for character with glasses because Simon Lewis
im reading harry potter right now my friendss at sschool are reading it my teacher is a big a harry potter fan im on chamber of secrets and im in love with it
Would ACOTAR count as a fox one because of Lucien?
Also ANGELFALL has 9 letters
Teumessian Fox is in the Rick Riordan books just can't remember which one.
I WAS LITERALLY SHOUTING "STARSIGHT" by Brandon Sanderson for the 9 letter book title! Lol. But I'm not sure if you have it tho!
Happpppy Friday!!! ✨✨✨

Yayyyy! A real copy of New Moon 😁
