My name is Christine Riccio! I love comedy and reading fantastic books. I make what I like to think are funny videos every Tuesday and other days of the week too about books and book related pop culture stuff! Hence the channel name polandbananasbooks. I also have a comedy channel if you're into that kind of thing winky face it's polandbananas20. I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT BOOKS WITH YOU. ALSO COMEDY. ALSO TV. ALSO MOVIES.
Sarah has got to be one of the coolest, easiest to talk to authors I've ever seen. Always love watching your interviews!
Hey I just recently started watching your videos and I love them could you do a collaboration with polandbanans
I love Sarah J Mass she's life
Piera Forde, you rock!
Lol at 6:00 Her face when xtine pronounces rhysands name wrong.
When Sarah says "You mean like a Mating bond...?" All sneaky. I see you Sarah. I see you bein all sneaky.
Rachel HELLA SNEAKY OMFG
yeah,,,she is sneakyyyyyy
theory- sarah decides mates on basis of tattoo giving
She is the Jennifer Lawrence of authors
Maleficent better!
Most accurate thing I‘ve seen since a while.
Tater Tot IKR!!! She looks like Jennifer Lawrence too!
Yass
You guys literally seem like you're best friends :)
I think Christine could make anyone seem like a long lost friend, she's just so friendly.
+Torsee Exactly!
"Everyone will hate me after this book, maybe." - Sarah J. Maas, 2016, 10:35
What are you planning
I am so scared now
+ℇммα ℍαgeи Me too. 😳
My guess is something goes down between Aelin and Rowan. Either he dies or their relationship will come to an end.
I think she was talking about the weight of the book and the size because of what she said after. If she wasnt, i am truly scared
rurounigirl20 IKR i'm kinda scared that he won't be endgame because they got together so fast :(
Sarah's laugh is contagious. Can she please be my friend?
Dont we all wish that
I have a love/hate relationship with Sarah J. Maas's books but the author herself is without a doubt one of the most fabulous people alive
+Clara Oswald Why do you love/hate the books? (I've just seen a few comments like this and I"m wondering why)
Eshika I'm of the minority that didn't like Queen of Shadows. Personally I don't think the Aelin name change was handled well, Aelin to me is a completely different character from Celaena and there is only a two week difference between when we last saw her as Celaena so I don't believe a character can change that fast.
Also I'm of the even smaller minority that didn't like ACOTAR. For me, this is mainly my own fault, since I don't like novels based around romance, but I found Tamlin possessive and overprotective, and I'm a third of the way through A Court of Mist and Fury and my point stands. The only character I actually like in this series is Rhysand, but since he's only a serious love interest contender in ACOMAF, I'm guessing Feyre won't end up with him.
And lastly, while Sarah's writing style and technique is truly stellar, her weak point is her characters. When I compare Feyre or Celaena to other fantasy heroes (and anti-heroes) such as Locke (The Lies of Locke Lamora), Irene (The Invisible Library) and Lyra (His Dark Materials), they pale in comparison. Sarah J. Maas hasn't quite grasped the idea that the story could be driven by the characters and that anti-heroes are often much more interesting than heroes. For me, Feyre and Aelin are Mary Sues that aren't as interesting to read about as the aforementioned characters (but then again, I am a person who loves anti-heroes, so I'm probably a bit biased).
I think that the Aelin name change was symbolic, like she's started anew as another version of herself in a new book. I thought the great leap in her personality was because she finally accepted her roots, which she'd been resenting for so long. I thought of that as the turning point. I guess agree to disagree.
I am part of the majority that liked Queen of Shadows, but there were parts of it that I didn't however. Chaol's attitude got old fast and I wasn't a very big fan of RowanxAelin.
At the start I found it a bit odd that Aelin was suddenly an amazing military strategist, but I guess it was probably something she learned as an assassin.
Haven't read ACOTAR yet so I don't have an opinion there.
I've never really tried to compare her to anyone so for me she's never seemed like that. I haven't read those books but they sound interesting, there differently on my tbr.
If you like anti-heroes/dark characters I recommend "The Young Elites" by Marie Lu. It's a fantasy novel/series (haven't read the 2nd one tho) where (imo) there is no true evil or true good.
I have to agree there's something very interesting about a anti-hero.
tl;dr: I disagree on the Aelin name thing, I like Queen of Shadows despite a few things, haven't read ACOTAR, I've never compared Aelin to anyone, I recommend "The Young Elites" by Marie Lu if you like anti-heroes/dark stuff, and I gotta agree anti-heroes are cool af.
You should carry on reading acotar if you like Rhysand. No spoilers but... you're wrong about not thinking she could end up with him. However like throne of glass series it does still have it's flaws like you said
Fiona has your mind changed after finishing ACOMAF? (assuming you finished it.) Please answer! I’d love to hear your thoughts.
SARAH J. MAAS YOU IS A FUCKING QUEEN. I WOULD READ YOUR GROCERIES LIST.
OMG SAME. HAVE YOU READ AN EMBER IN THE ASHES?
+ℇммα ℍαgeи that's not Sarah's series..
+MKC_ 13. i know
CamHdz FAULT IN OUR STARS REFERENCE
i can hear the celorian ship sinking in the distance
+Alana Vidal the way sarah said "no omg no" after christine said dorian.. my heart sink with my ship
+Alana Vidal I wonder if that means that Manon and Dorian will happen. For the love of every God (fictional or not) I really hope it doesn't happen.
+Luwen Solomon Whaaaat? Why? I shipped Manorian since before they even met.
+Sheechiibii Fox So did I XD Like from the beginning of Heir of Fire I was like "Dorian and Manon is gonna happen." No one believed me.
+Luwen Solomon Same! I'm a Manon and Elide shipper!
I met Sarah at an ACOTAR signing last year and she is the loveliest person
Agreed
"You can use it as a doorstop or to murder people."
HOW DID THIS JUST SLIP BY??
Loved this!!!!
NO REPLIES YET wow pls hi
Sarah is literally the coolest author! also you should post a whole video of bloopers cause that'd be awesome!
I totally agree with the Sarah being the best author thing and with the bloopers video idea! That would be awesome
I swear if I ever met Sarah J Maas I'd faint....Wyrd help me.
holy skalsky me toooooooo
Nom De Plume same! I'd scream and faint. I'm so jealous Christina got to meet her.
Rowan -"What's music, I don't care." I SNORT
Even though I had to mute half of this video I STILL LOVE IT! You two are the best together! I'm still so sad I couldn't be there, but I'm excited for the coverage of the event!
Christine : i was gonna ask you who would it be? i was like Dorian Dorian Dorian
Sarah : No omg no
my Celorian heart : shattered to pieces
she is so stunning! and seems so down to earth
Sarah J Maas looks so much like JLaw! She's so fantastic and beautiful!
'You can kill some one with my book' 😂
Begum Evrenol exactly 😂😂😂
When she said chaol was classic rock "AMEN"
I wasn't planning on continuing with the Throne of Glass series after I read the first book, but hearing Sarah J Maas talk about it does make me curious about it!
+B reads Books It gets so much better after the first book! you should try it
I really didn't like Throne of Glass and then I didn't really like Crown of Midnight either but then Heir of Fire was just SO EPIC!!! And then Queen of Shadows blew my mind again, so if you're willing to push through the first too it is definitely 100% worth it :D
FINISH IT NOW
As a person, Sarah is the most adorable thing I've ever laid eyes on. I think I might be low-key in love.
Ikr!
OMG I just realised😂. THAT ENDING!! no wonder she thought everyone would hate her!!!
I love the Contemporary Book Story about Celaena and Rowan. ❤️❤️❤️
I apologize to Sarah J Maas for pronouncing Manon's name wrong since Heir of Fure lol
*fire
Me too. Now that I know how to pronounce it, it just feels wrong!
I know right! I still pronounce it my way and I feel bad
This is too relatable
Taylor Waddell I pronounce Aedion "Ay-uh-din" and I pronounced Celaena "Ce-lay-nee-yuh" so I'm sure you're fine lol
sjmaas is incredible
I want to hang out with Sarah J Mass so much, she seems so awesome.
I have read the Throne of Glass series and it is probably the best series I've read in a really long time. I haven't read ACOTAR, but I think I might because Sarah J. Maas is such an AMAZING author!
Same!
YOU MUST READ ACOTAR. The first book is very good, the second book... Jesus christ... the second book takes it all to a whole new level. It's actual perfection.
Yes! Oh my god, ACOMAF for me 1/4 through of the book and it was already 100x better than the first book. I liked ACOTAR but I absolutely fell inlove with ACOMAF, that book is a literary masterpiece.
My two fav people are in the same room : and I'm almost done with a court of mist and fury - I'm sooooo glad I preordered it 😏😏
My favourite booktuber and author together?!?
*fangirls*
I loved this! Sarah J. Maas is so fun to listen to and I absolutely love her laugh! I can't wait to start ACOMAF!
I had a huge, stupid grin plastered on my face for 15 minutes straight! THIS WAS PERFECT.
This was so fun, sarah is so nice 😂 cant wait for TOG5 ❤️
YESSSS this was so great and so fun. I love her so much! And that game was A+++. GREAT VIDEO!
"don't get excited. it sucks right now." lmaoooo Sarah cracks me up. This is awesome, Christine!
I pronounce Rhys rice because I can just imagine Feyre calling him that
I love how much you guys are fangirling over each other!!!! Lol and the parts I muted for spoilers where so funny, it was just you guys making random hand gestures!!
My two favorite book people together in one video! You have no idea how much I loved this!!!
wait but i was reading ACOMAF and thinking "i bet celaena and feyre would read each other's stories and love them"
"shape..shifters?..." "THATS NOT A THING"
every time i watch your interviews i'm like "wow her questions are so creative literally no ones interviews will ever be this good"
"i say everything wrong" NEVER FORGET HER-MEE-OWN
oh awks i typed that as you were saying it in the video XD
"when you look at each other and just have a conversation" so basically how i met your mother silent conversations
did you really just ignore sarah saying "you can murder people with big books"
when i met her for the first time she talked about burning down her high school so i'm not surprised
#BEAScatagoriesTornament2016????
LOVE LOVE LOVE
Shape shifters is a thing. I repeat, it is a thing.
Sarah is such an adorable human I want to meet her soo badly!
+QueenAurora'sBooks same here!!
+Nusaybah Doty and her books r amazing too! ugh one day I hope.
QueenAurora'sBooks ya same i really wanna meet her like really bad!!
Nusaybah Doty I was so close to meeting her at this event she's at with Christine but I had a big exam the day after so driving there and coming home super late wasn't an option I'm so sad I missed it : /.
QueenAurora'sBooks aww that sad maybe next time!!?
YOU GUYS LOOK LIKE SISTERS!! 😍😍😍
I'm rewatching all these interviews again...I love you and Sarah so much. I loved reading all the books along with you and watching all your booktalks.
The way Manon is pronounced. My life is a lie
Jordan Hoffman agreed
I always thought man-un
This is rrrrrreally awkward as I've already named an oath of conquest paladin in D&D after Manon.
I LOVE THEM BOTH SO MUCH
Sarah, J.K. Rowling, and Rick Riordan are my heroes. I wish to meet them someday. 😁
I haven't read any of her books but she just seems like a really cool author!
+Kelly Blaine ooooooh read them
Katie Rose I don't really like fantasy though so I don't think I'd enjoy them :(
Kelly Blaine I don't really like fantasy, but damn, the books are awesome
I haven't even watched this yet and the gasp that just came out my mouth took my breath away - sarah J maass the queen!
You're like soul sister's ❤ Y'all are so cute!
I love Sarah's laugh ❤️❤️❤️
I legit smiles throughout the entire duration of this video. Totally loved it!
*silently rages b/c I haven't read ACOTAR yet* I love SJMaas.
what tf are you doing with your life... READ IT NOOOOOOOW. You seriously have NO IDEA what you're missing.
+The Book Universe I'm reading it now! My boyfriend just bought me all of her books and I'm loving ACOTAR so far :)
+Avoxx Targaryen Wow! That's one rich boyfriend you've got. LOL :D
+Aaron Burr, Sir hey thats a REALLY FUCKING COOL PRESENT IF YOU ASK ME.......But did he really buy them all at once? cus holy shit thats A LOT of money...
+The Book Universe He buys me 10-15 books a month. Not rich, he just loves spoiling me :) I try to tell him no, but he got my Amazon wish list, which is around 250 books long, and.. Yeah he won't listen to me lol
YAY!!!! She knows Black Dagger Brotherhood XD Sarah is SO amazing.
I love love love Sarah's personality!
oh my god, I just love Sarah's laugh XD
Kinda makes me happy that Sarah calls her Celeana; the name change still bugs me.
I love how Sarah did the Borat "great success!" when she got the question right XD I do that too, and it's kinda awesome to see her do it
Love when you do videos together!! My fav author and booktuber ♡
That just made my year! And I am so ready for the next Throne of Glass book !!!!!
Straight off the bat I just knew your chemistry would be amazing, AND IT WAS
Sarah is so wonderful
This is the best interview I've seen with her y'all just seemed so comfortable
Meeting Sarah j Maas is still the best day of my life 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿
SHE GAVE A HINT ABOUT THE BOND, AND WE MISSED IT AND NOW AFTER THE BOOK, OH LORDS
This was awesome! Sarah J. Maas gives the most hilarious interviews!!!
they get on so well with eachother I love it
Question Sarah? If Sam wasn't dead, if only Sam got separated from Celena when she was sent from Endovier, and Celena still went about the normal story plot: still ending up with Rowan and Sam found her again who would she choose? Sam or Rowan?? Because in book 4 you in sighted us on how Sam and Celena might have been mates, and how Aelin and Rowan might become mates... SOOOO what would you do?
They both are so out going and fun, it made the video 100x better
She loves Sirius Black too!! He was always one of my favourite characters in the books and I feel like people don’t understand why... but she gets it!! Love her!
I love Sarah J Maas! I swear she's like my spirit animal, when I was a kid and first read HP I too shipped myself with Sirius Black XD Awesome interview!
Omg Sarah is seriously one of the most outgoing and awesome authors I've ever seen in a video!! Her hearty laugh at the beginning!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!
Thank you for taking the time to warn when even a mild spoiler would show up. I really appreciate it!
THIS WAS TOO GOOD
I really wish I could meet Sarah J Maas!!! I can't wait for the next throne of glass book:):)
I pronounced every name wrong in the same way that Christine did! I'm so glad glad I'm not alone...
Love Sarah so much! You guys make an amazing duo. Thank you for putting the pictures up before the spoilers that was really nice
I didn't know this until now but I was waiting for this for my whole life tbh
The fact that Sarah was having a fangirl moment around you makes her even more amazing
UGH so jealous! Sarah seems like she would be so much fun to hang out with!!!
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS AND ONE OF MY FAVORITE BOOKTUBERS! i love you guysssss
I knew I said Aelin right!:) haha
my two favorite people. it's really nice to see them both. brb crying in the corner.
i can listen to sarah maas talking about her books for forever
Omg I just found this and Sarah J. Maas is one of my favorite authors and humans. She’s just so nice and funny and fantastic? How is she so amazing?
Every single interview with Sarah makes me love her even more. It's like how much awesome can we cram into one human. Fabulous.
Christine you did such an amazing job on Thursday you two were hilarious..glad I was able to meet both of you
I feel like Celaena would like Beyoncé
Oh my gosh my favorite booktuber and my favorite author!! You two should seriously be best friends. I could not stop smiling while watching this entire video
I love how long this interview is! Two of my favorite people!
Sarah is like the most fun YA author there is! She has also really nice laugh. This video was just perfect!
SHES ADORABLE YOU GUYS HAVE SUCH INFECTIOUS LAUGHS I COULDNT HELP IT AND LAUGH ALONG WITH YOU
This was just too good! I'm so happy this exists
Sarah is my spirit animal omg I love her so much
Sarah J Maas like the most chill authors I've ever seen, I also feel like she's super easy to talk with especially considering the fact that a lot of booktubes have interviews with her
I kind of like Sarah's interviews better than her books tbh. Very cute and fun interview. Christine and Sarah know what they're doing & I respect that.
When she said “shapeshifters” “that’s not a thing” me over here lookin at a certain character in Queen of shadows and Empire of storms like👀👀👀👀👀👀
I love that certain character.
When you're in the middle of A Court Of Mist and Fury and you're slightly mad that Sarah is sinking your ship
YOU JUST WAIT
I SWEAR YOU WONT BE TOO SAD
+shannon rose That's why I'm tempted not to read it. I don't trust any ship by Sarah J. Maas because she keeps changing her mind!
+Kels READ IT! It has some of the most amazing character development you won't regret it
I don't think she changed her mind for this one. It felt quiet clear which ship she was going to have eventually as the main one of the series.
Watched this 5 bajillion times, favorited and liked this and its still not enough. The obsession is real..
Ahh I love SJM! So happy that you guys got to chat! ❤️
She looks A LOT like Jennifer Lawrence!!!!
two of my absolute favorite people being amazing and making me laugh, AM I DREAMING
I am so glad SJMaas knows about the Black Dagger Brotherhood. It's one of my all time favourite series.
