Stories Bellamy ate this month: Better Together by Christine Riccio
I love that Christine autographed Jon's arc
Yesss so cute
I love how she signed one of the arcs and handed it to John and he said "oh thank you" honestly GOALS
her bf lurking in the background while she opens the arcs... omg goals
So proud of you for how far you've come, Christine! We've been watching your videos for over 10 years now 💕💕 it's amazing to have watched your channels grow so much, and to now watch you on your journey as an author!!
thank you so so much
I totally get the anxiety thing. Can’t imagine having to deal with that whilst writing a book knowing REAL HUMANS are going to read it and also the pandemic etc. I adored again but better and I can’t wait to read Better together when it comes out. Thank you so much Christine for continuing to write and create content throughout the pandemic, your videos are always a highlight of my day 💕💕
the lean in for a kiss when u gave him a signed copy ahhhh my heart
I'm literally crying, I just got to that bit
I know they are goals. Obviously she cut out the kiss part, because she is a private person and I totally get that and her channel isn't about their relationship, it's about her.
This video was so emotional, I realized midway that it's about to be a decade since I've been watching your content, you're such an inspiration Christine!! congrats on Better Together
me hoping she has an idea for her next book just bc i don’t want the writing vlogs to stop....
Lol I should study but I won’t because I need this right now
SAME 😂😂😂
You don't know how much your writing journey - ever since 2015 - has inspired me to get into writing. Thank you for your enthusiasm and for keeping it real. Every bit of your writing journey was a bless to watch.
The jumper from 17:46 til 24:57 matches the cover so well. The 👏 aesthetic 👏
I’ve been having an awful depression day today with covid + uni stress + money stress + general life issues and I just want to thank you so much for this video. Not only did you show us you in a raw anxiety-filled state which made me feel so not alone, but you showed your joy when your ARCs came and I found myself properly smiling for the first time today watching you unbox them. Just...thank you :) I hope you’re having a wonderful day today :)
That striped sweater is so cute !!
The best time to wear a striped sweater is all the time!
Ahh you made me emo right there 😢 I feel like it should be me thanking YOU for putting such a smile on my face whenever I see a new video or post. You’ve been a constant in my life for so long so it has been so comforting to see your classic videos all through wacky times ❤️
Every time I watch one of you writing videos I feel inspired to write! I can not wait to get to the point in my life where I can dedicate my life to writing stories!
Also, that cover!!😍
I can't wait for this book!!!!!! I loved again but better so much, it meant the world to me, and I can't wait to see what this one will do. Thank you for always being a light in my day
Watching you open the ARCs made me SO FREAKING HAPPY your excitement was contagious and I could't stop smiling. I'm super excited for you!!
I’m so excited for Better Together!!! 🥰
Hello!!!! Lots of love to you girl! I’m attempting to write a novel/script atm, and you inspire me so much ❤️❤️❤️
I am too!! I know the struggle is real because im there too!! But you got this!!
Love the airbender shirt Christine. I also experienced less sleep due to looking after 8 kelpie puppies last year with my family. It was 2 weeks of taking turns to get up every 2 hours to feed the puppies. Not fun. Good luck with Bellamy. Love the name. Reminds me of the 100 TV show.
HATE MYSELF IS ONE OF DODIE’S BEST SONGS EVER THE DAY IT CAME OUT I LISTENED TO IT AT LEAST TEN TIMES
I've been following you since just when you started vlogging Again But Better. I ended up LOVING it, and I'm SUPER EXCITED to get Better Together. I just pre-ordered it!! Can't wait until June!! You've got this! ❤
I am so excited for your second book! Again, but Better is my all time favorite book and I can't wait to see what you have created this time! Lots of love! :)
Thank you for sharing this journey with us! It feels like we're part of it and I'm so happy for all of your triumphs
Your excitement when you finished is so infectious! I can't wait to read Better Together!
So excited for this book! You inspire me to keep writing... I re-watch your ABB Vlogs every time I start doubting myself!♥️
im so happy the exams in the uk got cancelled so now i can read better together when it comes out instead of revising!!! :D
i just preordered the Barnes and Noble special edition and I'm so excited!! I'm so proud of how far you've come. I've been here for 6 or 7 years and you inspire me so much. So excited to read Better Together!
Every time I go to my Barnes and noble I see Again But Better on the shelf and I can’t wait to get this one and see it on the shelves!!!!
YOU DID IT!! I'm so excited to read it!
I want you to know that you are literally by biggest inspiration and have been for years now, and watching you accomplish these things gives me so much hope in myself, if that makes sense?
Better Together’s cover is so stunning. I love the artwork they chose for it. Those ARCS were beautiful. 🥰
I‘ve been watching you since around 2015 and it‘s been so inspiring seeing you grow as a person and an author. After enjoying Again but better and reading it in one day I am so excited for Better Together!🥰
Yay, I am so happy for you! I have been watching your whole journey through this and it has been a wild ride. I have loved every bit of it. Thank you for all you do! I am buying the exclusive copy soon and am so excited to read your 2nd book!!!🎊😍💕
I've been watching your videos since I was 13, and I am almost 18 now. Your videos and you just being such a genuine and energetic person have been so comforting and entertaining over the years. You were the first booktuber that I watched and you were also the first person I saw online talking about writing. I can honestly say that if it weren't for watching your journey with Again, But Better and now Better Together, I wouldn't feel so confident about being able to become an author myself; let alone apply to a creative writing degree. So I hope you know how grateful I and countless others are for you.
I love seeing these progress videos. Better Together is such a gorgeous book!
Yay! I believe I have the special addition, but I am not sure. I know what it feels like to have a lot on your plate. Trust me, I am about to graduate college and with all the homework, all I can say is, all your hard work does pay off! You Go Christine!
god i feel so ridiculously happy for you!!!! i’ve been following you since 2015 and seeing all you accomplishments feels AMAZING!
I love all these videos! Please never stop. I am from Argentina and I can´t get your books very easily but you are an inspiration and I just love you. Thank you for sharing!
Congrats Christine!!! I've been watching your videos for yearssssss, and I've loved following your journey as a booktuber and author!!! I can't wait to read Better Together and to see what you do next!! :)
I'm so proud of you!!!! I've been watching your writing journey from when you first started out with ABB and to see how far you've come and the fact you managed to write this amazing book throughout 2020 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so excited to read it when it comes out! 💕💕
So excited for Better Together! Just pre-ordered the special edition!
I'm so excited to read this! 👏😍 I've been watching your videos for almost 8 years, and it has been amazing to follow your journey and growth as an author! 😍
I AM SO EXCITED
So proud of you, it's amazing watching all of the growth and your entire journey. I've been watching since 2016 and it's just crazy seeing you become a full on professional author and it's just crazy. So excited to get the new Again But Better paperback and then Better Together.
Also the Avatar jumper, the entire outfit on the 17th and the 31st... just chef's kiss.
1. I can't wait for the book to come out!
2. Any chance you remember where you got the sweater at 24:01?
Hiiii Christine!! Much love to you!! Though I've never really commented on your videos, I absolutely love these vlogs!! I love how open you are with your struggles!! This inspires me to keep going!! Ive been on the struggle bus with my script/novel (I'm in the crime/drama genre). I'm kind of like you were I could never get passed page one because i always feel like i could never get the right phrasing the right wording and stay in this prepetrual state of editing or story boarding because I always feel like somethings missing. I also struggle with how I want to execute my story. 😭😭😭 I feel like this can keep me going. Like if you can do it, so can I!!
Also, the book is so big!! Wow!! 😮😮
Loved that peanut butter lake analogy. Mental note to add that in my vocab I felt it in my bones
I’m so excited for this book! I adore Again, but Better and I know I’m going to love Better Together just as much!
Congratulations on officially finishing your second book! I can't wait to read it!
I run my schools newspaper because Christine inspired me to go and do all those things I knew I could but I just needed the push, and at the end of a really stressful, anxious day watching this was so lovely to watch Christine go through those same spells we all do, it’s chilled me out so much knowing that doing what you love comes with that still - and not being alone in that :) We love you Christine xx ps: I’ve got your book pre-ordered for my birthday, these 4 months can’t go fast enough😂❤️
omg I love the rotating book covers in the background!!
Ahhhh I'm so excited for Better Together! I preordered the special edition and I can't wait! It's been so exciting to watch your journey and watching you publish these amazing stories is just so inspiring
Yaaaas, I was here for Again but Better, pre-ordered it. And I'm here again. Tuesday's paycheck goes to you.
when you want the jaime cover but want to read siri's bonus chapter :/ its like ABB all over again when i wanted the barnes and noble edition for the bonus chapter but also wanted the target version because it was purple naked and had a watermelon and i thought that looked prettier
anyways i'm super duper happy for you christine! i know how hard writing this book has been and i can only imagine how relieved you must be now that's over. its funny because with ABB i was anticipating it for 3 years, while i've only been waiting for better together for two, but i think im even more excited because now i've read a book of yours and know how good your writing is! can't wait for june. much love
I can't wait to read your second book! I enjoyed Again But Better so much!
I love these videos! They make me feel less alone in writing haha (currently on my second draft of my first book 😬)
Same!
I was waiting to preorder this whole time because I was wondering if there'd be a special edition!! I also LOVE the parent trap so anything even slightly-related is going to be SO AMAZING!!
You are amazing Christine! Watching your writing process is so inspiring. Your transparency about the anxiety and ups and downs is so helpful. 💛
So excited for you and so excited for the book! So fun to watch this journey
I’ve been watching you for about 8 years and I’m so grateful for you and your content ❤️ you are a true inspiration
I'm SO GLAD you loved Vanishing Half! & YAY I can't wait to buy a BN edition with the reverse covers!!!
🖤🖤🖤🖤
I love your writing vlogs, I find them very inspiring and motivating!
love your writing vlogs Christine! This book looks awesome and I cannot wait to read it!!
I just pre-ordered the B&N exclusive edition last night! Lol. So excited for you and to read it!! The covers are beautiful. If you are lookin for some more music to listen to while working check out Aly & AJ's Sanctuary and Ten Years EPs, explicit version of Potential Breakup Song, the Aces, and Maggie Rogers. Really good. 🙂
i am so excited to read better together!!!!! it honestly sounds so good, I love the way you mix fun and rom-com-ness of it all with the more serious stuff, while still keeping it all light-hearted and happy-making!!!! I've been following you since like the beginning of 2015 and it feels so surreal and amazing to have watched you grow and change and thrive!!!! im so proud of you, Christine and I cannot wait to follow you further on your journey, both RUclips- and writing-wise (and anything else you try!!!). Thank you for being such a huge, joyful part of my life!!!
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THE B&N SPECIAL EDITION, because I have the special edition for ABB ..... so excited
i’m so proud of you for writing a whole book through 2020!!!! i already know better together will be a great source of comfort for readers amongst everything we’ve been dealing with the past year
So proud of you and excited for better together!!!!
SO EXCITED FOR TOUR NEW BOOK!
Like we need more sister stories!!
I'm so sad that Barnes and noble doesn't ship internationally😭 will you be doing more online signings?
I am excited for your new book to come out! I will definitely be preordering it! Also, I love fabletics, they are the only leggings that I have found that fit me properly.
I have been watching you since 2013!!! So so hype for you on book 2!!! Can't wait to read it :D
I think it’s so cool that I’ve been watching your videos for almost 5 years and now I get to buy and own a book that you put your effort and soul into. Im especially excited because it’s about sisters who’s parents are divorced and that literally describes my life. Me and my sister are super close and I know that you and your sister are close too and I’m ecstatic to finally read this book!!!
Omg I’m so excited. Watching you’re writing journey and your reading journey has been so much fun and I’ve related a lot! So proud!
I'm so excited to read this book after watching your journey through your vlogs -- they always inspire me to write too!
i started watching you when i was 13, i am now 18 and heading off to college for art, thank you christine a million times for what you do 🥺
I’M SO EXCITED! I CAN’T WAIT!
Love you Christine! I'm currently writing my second draft of my second book and it's....really hard right now. This was the inspirational push I needed! ❤️
@@polandbananasBOOKS Oh my god, you replied! Thank you so much!
Christine, a barnes and noble special edition just made my day!! I’m definitely gonna pre-order it!! i’m so freaking proud of you and i absolutely love these vlogs. it’s so nice being reminded that anxiety and quarantine is something we’re all going through together. i’m sure that final draft is fantastic and i can’t wait to read it!!
Thank you so much Zena! ❤❤🤗❤🤗🤗❤🤗❤❤ your comments always make my day
Of course a special edition gets announced after I've already pre-ordered the book. Looks like I'm going to have 2 copies because there is no way I'm not getting that special edition. Also using this as an excuse to buy the paperback edition of again, but better. Might as well if I'm already paying to have one book shipped to Australia.
I teared up at the end there oooooo ma gad. So grateful for you Christine. I loved ABB and am so excited for BT!
Just pre-ordered the special edition! So excited!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so excited! I remember you talking in your 2015 all the things video about getting ready to actually write Again but Better after having the idea in your head for so long and it’s really cool to still be here when you’re getting ready to release a second book.
Any chance you'll be working with any bookstores to do personalized copies??? I would love to have one!
my publishing company is working on it, so there's definitely a chance! i'll update on instagram as soon as i know for sure =)
I love your writing videos! I am working on my first novel, and look up to you so much! Congratulations on finishing your second novel 💜
I literally come to watch these vlogs in between writing my own book. It's like having a comrade-in-arms who understands the battle that is writing. I got so emotional when you did near the end (also I'm emotional in general bc this book process is killing me lol). So excited to read Better Together!
Just came back cause I had to go to b&n.com and preorder that special edition!!!
I literally can't wait to read Better Together!!! Lamppost!
Just pre ordered the special edition!! Can’t wait to read this book☺️ I love being here through this journey and then finally getting to read the final product!
SO PROUD
These writing vlogs always inspire me to get back editing my draft! I'm so excited for your book to come out!
I loved ABB because it made me feel all the things I felt when I did a year abroad. I can't wait to read Better Together!
So excited to read this Christine!
I'm so proud of you!!!!! :D Celebrating all the way over here in the UK :D
I'm so excited to read Better Together, especially after loving Again but Better so much! I've been watching your writing series since the very beginning and it makes me so happy to see how successful you've been
It’s so crazy to me that I started watching your videos 5 years ago. The first video I watched was the life and death video for twilight
Omg I feel. She was one of the first booktubers i ever found like 6-7 years ago that got me into reading and now here we are an amazing published author bout to release her second!!
This is so exciting, congratulations!! ❤️👏❤️👏
I’m so excited for this book!!
Excited for the new book!!!
I'm so exited for better Together!!! the special edition is sooo beautiful!!
Can’t wait to read Better Together!!! Watching you through the journey of this book and Again, But Better and even watch you for years and getting the recommendations those years ago. I’m so unbelievably happy for you!!!! You’re right about writing a book in 2020 lol, it was a lot lol, especially writing towards the end of 2020 and when Evermore was released lol. It had a lot of emotions, also editing the book in January. Always love watching you talk about writing and stories because then I feel like I have a writing friend! So happy for you!!! Can’t wait!! 💕💕 Going to preorder now!!!
