    Christine i am so excited for you! Your success is so inspirational. I remember being a freshman in high school watching your bloodline booktalk and feeling like finally someone understood all the feelings that I felt towards books. You were funny, smart, kind and nerdy. You made me feel like there was someone like me out there and gave me hope. Now I am a senior in college and the fact that you are going to have a book published is so well deserved. Love you! Can’t wait to read it!!

  • @maiasitter677
    @maiasitter677 5 лет назад

    I am definitely buying the Target edition too! Annotating is something special that I love to do while reading and this is so cool. I've never bought a book or heard of a book where an author did this and I think that that is so awesome. I've always wanted an annotated copy like this where it was annotated by the actual author. This is awesome. I've preordered the Barnes and Noble edition and can't wait for it to get here and hopefully I'll be able to get the Target edition in a Target on release day. It is available in store, correct? Not just online? I am in college, but only have one class on Tuesdays and will rush to my nearest Target right after it's over. I think that the nearest one is half an hour away...but I love road trips so it's fine.
    Christine, you are one of my favorite RUclipsrs and such an inspiration to me. You and Kat have inspired me so much to write my own novel. I have been working on it and hope to be ready to publish myself in a couple of years. You are amazing and I am so, so happy for you and this amazing journey that you have been able to go on. Best of luck to you. I am so very excited to read your book!

    As soon as Germany got mentioned, I freaked out because what if Shane is going to visit Germany in ABB? You just hop on a plane in London and an hour later you're there.

It was so cool, to see how an audiobook is made, since some authors don't talk about it, I don't read audiobooks, but this was still interesting nevertheless. Maybe one day I'll start reading them. Also as a side note, Christine in the recording booth, looks like she's Taylor Swift, just me? Okay, I got Taylor vibes for a minute. Congratulations on the book release Christine!
