I watched you for years since I was 13 when my book addiction started then got busy and stopped watching for a while but now I’m back and I’m so glad you’re making videos still! I’m 21 now and love your videos to this day❤ I now have lots of content to catch up on while I’m procrastinating on school😂

Love the video Christine! Book recommendation: a deadly education by Naomi Novik- a brilliant fantasy trilogy about a darker magic school where the odds of survival are 1 in 4. It is incredibly funny and has very poignant and moving moments, as well as a core message of doing good despite it being easier to do nothing. It’s my favourite book.

I read Winterkeep the lates in the Graceling series which is my all time favorite series. This one did not disappoint but at first It was hard to get into and then I learned one secret and it changed Everything!! It took off like wild fire!! I'm a so proud because it is long but it was sooo good! Have you done the Graceling Series!? I started it in the peak of the YA Book craze but it's still with me because the writer knows how to let the characters grow, so we've been with the same four people for years but they evolve! it's great!

After reading the first A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder book, I was like, “Why would this be a series? This story is wrapped up, and a series would be repetitive.” Then I read the other two books. And WOW. I’m so glad that I continued with the series. As Good as Dead was also my favorite book that I read in 2022. I may have stayed up late during finals week to read this book lol

i had no interest in reading beach read cause i knew nothing about it but now that i know the synopsis & have your recommendation im tempted my favorite books of the year include hell followed with us by andrew joseph white, (probably wouldn’t recommend it for you christine personally though, it is VERY gory/bloody and an illness is a major plot line, though it is a sort of fantastical illness so maybe you’ll be fine, idk) the first to die at the end by adam silvera, the prequel to they both die at the end which, of course, was gut wrenching, the lesbiana’s guide to catholic school by sonora reyes, the charm offensive by alison cochrun, and cafe con lychee by emery lee! didn’t read as much as i wanted to in 2022 but instead of dwelling on it just am going to focus on reading more in 2023!!
