I've also been following Christine since I was in middle school and I remember I would always get excited to come home and watch your ACOTAR and TOG release/booktalk videos! It's been such an amazing journey with both Sarah's books and Christine, and I can't wait to read and see more videos in the future🥰

When you talked about the waiting for the books in between the release dates, I feel that. I remember where I was when A Court of Wings and Ruin came out, when Kingdom of Ash came out, when all the Throne of Glass and ACOTAR books came out. It’s a different feeling waiting for the next book to come out when you finish it when it just came out. The struggles lol. The only time I had something like that was with the Simon Snow books and the ongoing Shadowhunter books.

"Who wants to read a bunch of short stories before the first book?" Me! lol, cause that's what it was before Throne of Glass came out- every story was released one at a time, about once a month, until TOG came out. The publisher wanted the readers to get background on Celaena/the world, thus- novellas! It was so fun, reading each one, and definitely hyped us for the eventual book release! And then the series grew so much in popularity that they were bound in one book.

What incredible timing for this video, as I am having the best time binge reading sarah’s books right now!! I even got both of my roommates into her books, so now we’re all reading them together which has been so fun (and we’ve been watching your book talks afterwards, of course). I’ve only finished four of her books, so I’ll rank what I’ve read cause this sounds like fun: 4. A Court of Thorns and Roses - I really got into this in the last 150 pages or so, but it didn’t capture me in as instantly as her other books 3. House of Sky and Breath - I won’t say anything cause I know you’re still reading, but I cannot wait until you finish this!! That book talk is going to be everything! 2. House of Earth and Blood - this was my first Sarah J Maas book and I was instantly obsessed 1. A Court of Mist and Fury - Funnily enough, I finished this last night and stayed up till 2am cause I couldn’t put it down. I finished this in a week and literally had 3 final exams the week I was reading, so that probably tells you how into this I was. I immediately went to the bookstore this morning and bought A Court of Wings and Ruin!!

I've enjoyed all of her books that I've read, and I've read all but Catwoman: Soulstealer, but I'm not going to read those DC books. So been a fan for a while. But the one I remember wanting the most was ACWAR, after the ending of ACMAF, I needed to know how it was going to end. That wait was evil! My personal ranking is basically publication order, with a few exceptions.
