    I've been binging watching a lot of your old videos recently for nostalgia. I watched your channel religiously when I was in high school. Even though our tastes are very different now, you're one of two booktubers that nurtured my love of reading and gave me comfort during a time when my only friends were books (don't miss ya sophomore year.) I'm sorry to hear about your relationship falling through, but I, a complete stranger, am very proud to see you accomplish your goals and get your books published. Maybe one day I'll sit my butt down and commit to my passion project too. Good luck with this third one! Much love to you!

    I've been watching your videos since I was like 14 years old (back when Cassandra Clare was still finishing up mortal instruments / infernal devices and you made book talks each time), and I can't tell you how PROUD I am watching you now be a full fledge author on your 3rd book. I just wanted to drop you that comment, like I've seen you go from a normal book lover (just like little me) to an actual real legit wonderful author, like every reader's dream that rarely becomes true.
    If you ever look back you should be SO proud. :)

    Nothing feels more relatable to my experience as a writer than watching you wheeze- laughing (sobbing?) while writing with your face an inch from the notebook paper 😂 also it's really fascinating to watch the process of someone who overwrites their first drafts because i so chronically underwrite mine, so the more words you add the more I'm like HOW

    That last bit has to be my favourite look of yours so far - we have had crazy Christine, we have had spiraling Christine and now introducing the smudge look Christine! 🤣 I appreciate how real you are in these videos with your true love reflections - you got me determined to finally write the damn book that's been living in my head for over 5 years and I'm having similar thoughts. It's so hard writing about passionate true love when you feel like you've not experienced it! But we, Booklions (😝), keep persevering!

    I wonder if any rom-coms exist where the couple-to-be are more "cynical" about true love so they meet and they basically resist all the implications simply because they're looking for their "realistic match" or "convenient-for-my-career match" or something.

    Christine. I think Katytastic, Kat would make a great guest on you and Natasha Podcast! It would be perfect! Next month is NaNoWriMo and when I think about NaNoWriMo, I think about Kat. When she's on your Podcast bring up Cooking with Kat and tell her the people want a new Cooking with Kat episode! :D

    Lol, I go to bed late a lot, writing. Don't worry, the final published copy will be worth the lack of sleep. And yes, I will be up late writing and send multiple texts to my Beta reader, and anxiously wait for her to text back, lol. Fortunately, she's a night owl, too, so sometimes she does text back. When we text during the day, we just talk it out, and it really helps! She really helped me with my first manuscript! And OMG Voxer? I used that years ago!
