I think my series of the decade has to be Percy Jackson because I wasn’t the biggest reader until I picked up the lightning thief in 2011 and ever since I have always been reading a book, it changed my perspective on reading completely!
it's similar for me, I did read before starting Riordan's books, but it was after Mark of Athena that I got into a blog and started reading and writing fanfiction which is a huge part of my life right now, so it's gotta be that what had the biggest impact on my life this decade
My book of the decade is A court of mist and fury!! I can't even tell how many times I've come back to it, I pick it up whenever I'm in between books, it's just so goood! 😱
I'm glad I'm not the only one that just reads it so randomly especially if I'm in a book hangover after finishing a series😂 it's so good I just love rereading it!
I just realized that I started following you around 2012 (you were my first book tuber 😭), and because of your videos I had found my community of crazy book lovers. You and the rest of the gang (Kat, Jesse, Regan, Natasha, etc) are what helped me realize what I wanted to study in college, which I had just started in 2011. You made this decade for me, and I'm so glad that we all got to experience such big, emotional books that brought us even closer as a community 😍💜🙌🏼😭 I was on a pretty big book slump for the past couple of years but its slowly starting to come back to me. I'm coming back to the community I love 😊 #newdecadeofreading #endthebookslump2020
I listened to 'Again, But Better' during my GCSE Fine Art exam. It was the best thing ever because the art room is in the attic of my school where you can see the entire London skyline as its not far from Central - the vibes were on point. So GOOOOOD.
If Sarah J Maas just kept releasing Throne of Glass books I would keep reading them forever Clockwork Prince was the book that brought me to your channel, so I love that it was one of your top two of the decade!
I think the Mortal Instruments (and all Shadowhunter books really) was the series that defined my decade. Perks of Being a Wallflower has also been a major part of my life with both the book and movie. I love them so much.
Queen of Shadows was the first book I read in the ToG series as it was releasing. I got into the series at the end of 2014 right after Heir of Fire and it the signing for QoS was my first signing ever and Queen of Shadows without a doubt remains my favorite ToG book (right new to Tower of Dawn). It was just such a peak for characters, plot, story, writing and everything and I always wish I could read those last 120 pages again for the first time. Dorian and Aelin, Manon and Elide, Chaol and the king, the glass castle, Rowan and Lorcan and the hellfire and Lysandra in her ghost leopard form. It was all a bundle of pure amazingness.
I can't believe its finally the end of 2019!!! This is the fifth year in a row I've watched your videos. Still one of my fav youtubers and now one of my favorite authors💗💗💗
Yay, first. Anyways, Christiiiine I'm _finally_ reading Again but Better and I'm loving it SO MUCH! ❤ Also, it's 11:40pm on Christmas Eve over here, so Merry Christmas to you in advance!!!
Christine you really should make a list of all your book on a document and post the link so we all can see what you have and so it can help us start/add on to our own book collection😁I know it would take FoReVeR but it would be really helpful. Another great video! Merry Christmas Christine!
A Court of Mist and Fury is my book of the decade for sure. It reminded me that there are other universes than Harry Potter that are worth finding and loving forever!
Your Queen of Shadows review is what made me find your channel. I’ve watched the review dozens of times because it’s my favorite of yours. This book was a very fitting choice!
Can’t believe it’s another year of this video! If she mentions something or doesn’t that you think she should probably go back and watch others. I will be shocked if the toll is not on here
Throne of Glass would be my series of the decade. I found the TOG series around grade 8 (eight years ago) and it seriously changed my life. I was going through some hard times and it was just the escape I needed. Her characters are so strong (in Court of Thorns as well) and I just kind of looked up to them. Whenever I have a bad day, I just pick up one of her books, read my favourite sections and automatically felt better. After I read Kingdom of Ash I was in the biggest book slump.
Legit i was reading at like a 1st grade level in 4th grade i was the worst reader but, i picked up percy jackson snd the lightning theif and fell in love with the series. Rick riordan sparked my love of reading, by 5th grade i was reading at a 5th grade level. For that reason percy jackson is my book/series of the decade. Thanks Rick!
The Lightning Thief is my book of the decade, it blossomed my love for books & writings. Because of it I have written a novel! Something I’d never thought I could do.
I think I would agree with your book of the decade. That series got me into reading about 5 years ago and I think that is my favorite book in the series. It’s most definitely my book of the decade. Anyway love ya and can’t wait to go into the new decade with you!
My series of the decade is the Mercy Thompson series by Patrica Briggs! My mom got me to read this series and before that I usually never read unless it was for school but when I stepped into her world I was awakened to the awesome power books can have over us. It also allowed me to get closer to my mom and share a new thing with her: the love of books!
Acomaf is 100% my book of the decade. I can’t really explain it I just have such an attachment to that book and I read it at a time of my life when I was really lonely so the connection to the characters meant so much to me
Fabulous video. I feel as if it could have been even longer, especially since I think UA-cam prefers videos that are over 10 minutes. But that aside, I would have enjoyed seeing nominees and your favourite book of the decade for different genres. I just love your videos so much, Christine. Here’s to the next decade 🥂
My book/series of the decade has to be the Selection and the Selection series! I still get all the feels years later when re-reading and they got me hooked on royal romance 🥰
Haven't watched you for a while and I am kinda shocked that slammed is ranked as number 5, I remember you reading it for the first time and loving it so much!
I just bought "Scythe" a few days ago, I figure on reading it post-Christmas, probably during Boxing Week. I saw it on the store bookshelf, remembered Christine's enthusiasm for the series sooo.. giving it a shot. Merry Christmas, Christine! : )
My Favorite Book of the Decade is definitely A Court of Mist and Fury. It was the first book I ever reread because I loved it so much, and I am so captivated by the world. Great video, Christine!! Can’t wait to see what next year and the next decade brings!!
Mine is definatly Throne of Glass. I picked it up because of this thing called Yarp and it was one of the books. I fell in love with dorian and Celaena and Chaol. It was just such a good book.
Again but better- book of the decade!!! It’s the book I’ve related to soooo much on an amazing level! I can’t wait to see what u write next!! Happy Holidays!!!!
Girl- thank you so much! I literally relate to you on so many levels, especially your love for Sarah J. Maas. If I ever met her, I would most probably cry and go into a 3 hour speech of how much her books make me feel. The Queen of Shadows is a beautiful work of art and trust me when I tell you that I had to watch all your book vlogs because they made me so much more connected to the world and especially listening to another person who feels the same way about your favorite books. So, thank you. Happy New Year and please let me know of any books that make you want to scream, shout, cry, laugh, and smile, those are always ones worth reading. My little recommendation from this year has to be, ughh so many hard choices, I think it's Bring Me Their Hearts by Sarah Wolf, also the most surprising had to be Winterspell by Claire Legrand. I hope you read them and let me know how you like them. All the best, Alexia
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater has to be my favorite book of the decade (along with the rest of the series) because it was insanely influential on me as a person going through high school. I could see myself in all of the characters and I even picked my major in college based on my love of this book (history and english lol). Whenever I feel lonely or confused about life or nervous about the future I can always go back to that series and find comfort :')
The Harry Potter series has characterized my decade. I've read lots of books and series, but I always come back to Harry Potter. It was the first books series I remember reading and being OBSESSED with. I have so many feelings about Harry Potter and it brings me so much joy ❤❤❤
I’ll Give You The Sun is my fav stand alone BY FAR. I related to it so much and it destroyed me and built me back up again and it was wonderful. I’m also synesthetic so every book reading experience is colorful but every single fucking sentence in the book was exploding with color for me and I’ve read it seven times it’s perfect. Heir of Fire is fav series book tho.
Song of Achilles was my book of the decade because it was my first step into adult books and kick started my love if historical fiction, I'm always thinking about it
I'm sick to my senses (and have been since Sunday last week😑) but I started reading Again, but Better yesterday after having a really bad, solid hour, cry over how bad and alone I felt. But then I started reading your book and I was so ditracted by it, and so amazed by how much I related to to Shane's feelings, and on such a personal level that I almost completely forgot about my sroundings. You somehow managed to write a fun and light story that aslo tackles such hard and personal issues that I can barely see in other young and new adult books. I think your little introduction at the beginning was so spot on (and I haven't even finished the book). The more I delve into Shane's personal world, the more I see how it reflects not only you, but the whole mass of people dealing with these kinds of self doubts. I don't really know how to finish this comment (or how it got so long), but what I do know is how much I love your videos. Especially the "top books of 20__" ones. Great picks btw, QoS is also a favorite of mine.♡♡
I feel like my book of the decade would probably be Mark of Athena, because not only is it my favorite book in my favorite series, it's made me so many friends.
My book of the decade has to be The Host. And sure it came out a while ago but I hadn’t read it till this year and it really highlighted my life this year, I just loved it and connected to it so strongly
I have to agree for the best book of the decade award. Queen of shadows really was my everything! Clockwork princess is a close second but sarah j maas was my obsession throughout the 2010s. I'm reading mark of athena right now and seeing that house of hades was a nomination got me very excited
For my The Lightning Thief marked the decade I read in in 2014 and instantly fell in love with the story It means so much to me and without it I would not the the reader I am
Merry Christmas Christine🎅🍰⛄⛄☃️🎉 U really did a wonderful job choosing between Acomaf and QOS It was really hard for me to chose between Acomaf, KOA, QOS and the Clockwork Princess. My fav book of the decade is ACOMAF 🤩🤩🤩😍(coz of the Starfall part)
My favorite book of the decade for stand alone was Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson ! I can’t pick a series favorite, but probably it’s probably either Clockwork Princess or Throne of Glass! Ahhh I discovered PolandBananasBooks this decade ahh so grateful for her! SERIOUSLY changed my life forever with her book reviews!
Series of the decade for me has got to be The Mortal Instruments. It reignited my love for reading & made want to start reading consistently. Standalone book would probably be Nerve. That was the quickest I’ve ever read a book. I barely put it down & as soon as I did I wanted to pick it right back up.
My favourite book I read this decade has to be Switched by Amanda Hocking. I got it free with a magazine at the airport at the end of 2010 when I was travelling to visit my childhood best friend for my 11th birthday. I'd loved reading before then, but that book always sticks out in my mind as it lead to me discovering one of my favourite authors of all time.
My favourite book from a book series was ACOMAF but my favourite single was probably Matilda, by Roald Dahl. I’m only 13, so the majority of my reading life was established in this decade, which is why it holds so many memories for me. Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, ACOTAR, Throne of Glass...
I cant believe this video is already here, this is a staple that always reminds me that it's the end of the year I cant believe it's almost 2020 like,,
While Again, But Better as a whole wasn’t really for me I still loved my time with it and how much it reminded me of you (you are literally a light). I am absolutely convinced that your abilities as a writer are just going to get better and better because you’re a natural story teller! I literally read Again, But Better in one sitting (which I haven’t done with any book in a while). Forever supporting you love. 🥰 This is the only comment I could make here because I haven’t read any of the other books on your favorites list 😂😂😂. I remember a time when I started watching BookTube and was like this Christine chick talks so fast and she’s too animated and now I live for your videos and I go back and watch older videos on occasion because your UA-cam/ BookTube content is SO FRIKIN GOOD. So so good. And I think carrying such a vibrant disposition is absolutely inspiring. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and I wish you and Juan (oh god I wrote Juan cuz I swear in the boyfriend tag you called him that? Idk hahaha but JOHN) all the happiness ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think my favorite book of the decade is The Last Olympian. I didn't really pick Percy Jackson up until a couple of years ago, and when I did I just flew through every Rick Riordan book I could get a hold of. I love all of Riordan's other books, but the Last Olympian is the one that really sticks out for me.
I’ve binge read the Throne of glass series this year. And yeah it’s up there in my favourite book series. Probably like second or third place. My favorite must be chaos walking but that was in earls 10s when I read it.
Book of the decade is Pjo, because of those I started really reading! So I would be nothing like I am today if it wasn’t for Percy Jackson! I also adored Anne of green gables cause I saw myself on Anne in so many ways so I think that must go as second best book of the decade!
My book of the decade is one hundred percent the dark artifices. Specifically queen of air and darkness just because it was so long anticipated and it fucking delivered. It had me enthralled from start to finish and left it open for more Cassandra clare. My stand alone book of the decade has to be we were liars by e.lockhart because damn that book was so good and it made me laugh and cry and think and go crazy with the twist. It was just so incredibly written. But the shadowhunter series have really shaped this decade for me because they have completely change how I read. Thank you cassandra clare for giving that to us. I also have again but better on my reading list for this year and hoping to get round to it at some point. X
My book of 2019( it’s way to hard to pick a decade) is I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon. It was beautifully crafted, and absolutely fascinating. The ending left me with a completely different understanding of the entire story. This book got me into the historical fiction genre, and I totally recommend it to anyone who has ever been interested in the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
I think my book of the decade would be A Court Of Mist And Fury by our queen Sarah J Maas. Probs for the reason of how much I related to Feyre and how much I loved her story of recovery that showed that no matter how bad your life may be, it will always get better. I’m still in a dark place, but ever since I discovered SJM and read ACOMAF, my life has become a lot better and I’m convinced I’ll eventually get my dream life to become a reality😁
My top 4 books of the year are 4. Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas 3.Passenger by Alexandra Bracken 2. Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren 1. Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas My series book of the decade is so hard to pick but I think I might have to go with To All The Boys I Loved Before. I absolutely fell in love with the Throne of Glass books this year, but TATBILB I read kind of in the middle of the decade and it was the first series I fell in love with after going through a two year reading slump. My stand alone book of the decade would either be Amy & Rogers Epic Detour or Perks of Being a Wallflower. Both of them I read towards the beginning of the decade and they have a lot of meaning to me.
Just finished the audiobook for again but better!! I loved it!! At a point i was so into it i was trying to find house chores to do so i could keep listening lol It resonated with me soooo much, especially the very beginning!! Congratsssss ❤️
Unhoneymooners is going to be my next read! I relate, in the first half of this decade I read almost exclusively series (The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Maximum Ride, The Mortal Instruments...) and recently it's been a lot of contemporary novels.
Christine, I’m so excited to read again but better! The main character is named Shane and I was so excited the first time I found out because my name is Shain just spelt a little different 😂!

I think my series of the decade has to be Percy Jackson because I wasn’t the biggest reader until I picked up the lightning thief in 2011 and ever since I have always been reading a book, it changed my perspective on reading completely!
You're literally me.
it's similar for me, I did read before starting Riordan's books, but it was after Mark of Athena that I got into a blog and started reading and writing fanfiction which is a huge part of my life right now, so it's gotta be that what had the biggest impact on my life this decade
LOOΠΔ is [my One&Only] love that’s amazing! I wish I had enough creativity to be able to write lol
Literally same for me
Same man
Everyone who was asking where Kingdom of Ash was last year are *finally* satisfied
My book of the decade is A court of mist and fury!! I can't even tell how many times I've come back to it, I pick it up whenever I'm in between books, it's just so goood! 😱
María Constanza Véliz same!
My book of the year is actually A Court of Mist and Fury! This is the year I actually began reading, so I can't choose a book of the decade 😅
I'm glad I'm not the only one that just reads it so randomly especially if I'm in a book hangover after finishing a series😂 it's so good I just love rereading it!
@@bayleebowen6191 man that is exactly what I do! I read the books so much I think I have started living in the night court now
Yeeees!
I just realized that I started following you around 2012 (you were my first book tuber 😭), and because of your videos I had found my community of crazy book lovers. You and the rest of the gang (Kat, Jesse, Regan, Natasha, etc) are what helped me realize what I wanted to study in college, which I had just started in 2011. You made this decade for me, and I'm so glad that we all got to experience such big, emotional books that brought us even closer as a community 😍💜🙌🏼😭 I was on a pretty big book slump for the past couple of years but its slowly starting to come back to me. I'm coming back to the community I love 😊 #newdecadeofreading #endthebookslump2020
I listened to 'Again, But Better' during my GCSE Fine Art exam. It was the best thing ever because the art room is in the attic of my school where you can see the entire London skyline as its not far from Central - the vibes were on point. So GOOOOOD.
If Sarah J Maas just kept releasing Throne of Glass books I would keep reading them forever
Clockwork Prince was the book that brought me to your channel, so I love that it was one of your top two of the decade!
I think the Mortal Instruments (and all Shadowhunter books really) was the series that defined my decade. Perks of Being a Wallflower has also been a major part of my life with both the book and movie. I love them so much.
Queen of Shadows was the first book I read in the ToG series as it was releasing.

so trueee
Throne of glass is my fav series of all time and Queen of Shadows made it peak to my #1 list too👑❤️
Your editing is gold, Christine. 30 seconds in and I'm already laughing. Merry Christmas!
Did something surpass The Infernal Devices D: ? I refuse to believe it
Yay for school holidays and being able to watch this right at upload instead of after school lol
Again But Better is probably my number one
ah
Sameeee!! I loved all the references!!
Mine too.
Me too!
It was my fave of the year
I loved it and can't wait for more stories from you Christine
I can't believe its finally the end of 2019!!! This is the fifth year in a row I've watched your videos. Still one of my fav youtubers and now one of my favorite authors💗💗💗
Yay, first. Anyways, Christiiiine I'm _finally_ reading Again but Better and I'm loving it SO MUCH! ❤ Also, it's 11:40pm on Christmas Eve over here, so Merry Christmas to you in advance!!!
YAY Thank you so much
How do you manage to read all these books and still find time to write? Bravo!
Christine you really should make a list of all your book on a document and post the link so we all can see what you have and so it can help us start/add on to our own book collection😁I know it would take FoReVeR but it would be really helpful. Another great video! Merry Christmas Christine!
A Court of Mist and Fury is my book of the decade for sure. It reminded me that there are other universes than Harry Potter that are worth finding and loving forever!
I'm actually doing the TOG series for the first time now...almost done with Heir of Fire & now I'm extra excited to get to the next one!!!
The PJObooks literally made me into a reader so those are my all time favorites/ books of the decadw
Your Queen of Shadows review is what made me find your channel. I’ve watched the review dozens of times because it’s my favorite of yours. This book was a very fitting choice!
Allison Sijgers I LOVE her ACOMAF review
Nobody:
Christine: SOMEONE GET A RESTRAINING ORDER ON THIS GUY (referring to Tamlin)
So awesome
Can't relate more....I watched her Tog review and started watching her channel
Mine is her ACoMaF book talK
Again But Better, definitely a #1 hit for me.
Can’t believe it’s another year of this video! If she mentions something or doesn’t that you think she should probably go back and watch others. I will be shocked if the toll is not on here
Throne of Glass would be my series of the decade. I found the TOG series around grade 8 (eight years ago) and it seriously changed my life.

Whenever I have a bad day, I just pick up one of her books, read my favourite sections and automatically felt better. After I read Kingdom of Ash I was in the biggest book slump.
My mom give me life, but Queen of shadows give me a reason for live it
Lol
Legit i was reading at like a 1st grade level in 4th grade i was the worst reader but, i picked up percy jackson snd the lightning theif and fell in love with the series. Rick riordan sparked my love of reading, by 5th grade i was reading at a 5th grade level. For that reason percy jackson is my book/series of the decade. Thanks Rick!
I always love your taste in books. I come to your channel whenever I need a new book in my life. This list is your personality in a nutshell as well!!
The Lightning Thief is my book of the decade, it blossomed my love for books & writings. Because of it I have written a novel! Something I’d never thought I could do.
I think I would agree with your book of the decade. That series got me into reading about 5 years ago and I think that is my favorite book in the series. It’s most definitely my book of the decade. Anyway love ya and can’t wait to go into the new decade with you!

My fav book of the year was your book Christine, because it was so relatable and made me feel all the feels!!!
Now all we need is Favourite TV Shows of 2019!!
My Favorite Book of the Decade is definitely A Court of Mist and Fury. It was the first book I ever reread because I loved it so much, and I am so captivated by the world. Great video, Christine!! Can’t wait to see what next year and the next decade brings!!
Mine is definatly Throne of Glass. I picked it up because of this thing called Yarp and it was one of the books. I fell in love with dorian and Celaena and Chaol. It was just such a good book.
okay but your turtleneck goes with your hair so well, iconic
Again but better- book of the decade!!! It’s the book I’ve related to soooo much on an amazing level! I can’t wait to see what u write next!! Happy Holidays!!!!
I remember I came across your channel when Divergent series came out. Its 2020 and I came back for book recommendation!! Still great channel
Girl- thank you so much! I literally relate to you on so many levels, especially your love for Sarah J. Maas.

I hope you read them and let me know how you like them.

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater has to be my favorite book of the decade (along with the rest of the series) because it was insanely influential on me as a person going through high school.

Whenever I feel lonely or confused about life or nervous about the future I can always go back to that series and find comfort :')
The you I've never known has to be one of my favorites of the decade because the story and the characters are just so close to my heart.
The Harry Potter series has characterized my decade. I've read lots of books and series, but I always come back to Harry Potter. It was the first books series I remember reading and being OBSESSED with. I have so many feelings about Harry Potter and it brings me so much joy ❤❤❤

Sarah J. Maas truly was the breakout author of her genre for this decade. 💁🏻♀️
Can't wait to see what the top fav book will be!
When queen of shadows won, I’m telling you I SCREAMED
I feel like my book of the decade would probably be Mark of Athena, because not only is it my favorite book in my favorite series, it's made me so many friends.
My book of the decade has to be The Host. And sure it came out a while ago but I hadn’t read it till this year and it really highlighted my life this year, I just loved it and connected to it so strongly

Absolutely fabulously edited!
What a blast!
Great books to!
Stand alone of the decade: To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Series of the Decade: The Mortal Instruments
To all the Boys has 2 other books hhaha
I recently read the ToG series and queen of shadows is my favorite too!
For my The Lightning Thief marked the decade
I read in in 2014 and instantly fell in love with the story
It means so much to me and without it I would not the the reader I am
I got Again but Better from B&N as a Christmas Gift and I cannot put it down. AMAZING book.
My boy Shusterman at #2 😄 xx so proud! Xx Well done xtine for going since 2012!
My favorite series of the decade is the Mara Dyer books, I literally read them every year and they don’t get old 💖
Even though I don’t have the same reading tastes (AT ALL) I love watching your videos... you’re such a mood !
Merry Christmas Christine🎅🍰⛄⛄☃️🎉
U really did a wonderful job choosing between Acomaf and QOS
It was really hard for me to chose between Acomaf, KOA, QOS and the Clockwork Princess.
My fav book of the decade is ACOMAF 🤩🤩🤩😍(coz of the Starfall part)
My favorite book of the decade for stand alone was Since You’ve Been Gone by Morgan Matson ! I can’t pick a series favorite, but probably it’s probably either Clockwork Princess or Throne of Glass! Ahhh I discovered PolandBananasBooks this decade ahh so grateful for her! SERIOUSLY changed my life forever with her book reviews!
Series of the decade for me has got to be The Mortal Instruments. It reignited my love for reading & made want to start reading consistently. Standalone book would probably be Nerve. That was the quickest I’ve ever read a book. I barely put it down & as soon as I did I wanted to pick it right back up.
this list is everything. THank you~~~!!!!! happy 2020!!!!
My book of the decade is all Sarah j Maas books😂
Meh
Can't agree more 😀
Saaaame :D
Sarah Dobbins haha lol same
Throne of Glass is my favorite book of hers.
Yayyyy!!! Coho made it twice!! I finished regretting you last week and I still can’t stop thinking about it ❤️
It ends with us is definitely one of my top of the decade. Made me realize I deserved better in a bad relationship and gave me the strenght to leave!
Top favs of mine this year are the fault in our stars and your book I loved it so much! I cried at the end!!!
My book of the decade is definitely I’ll Give You the Sun!! I love it so much. I get so happy whenever I think about it.
my series novel of the decade: A Court of Mist and Fury
stand-alone: Radio Silence
Ooh Radio Silence looks interesting
YES!! The throne of glass series is so amazing!
I saved your video. I'm excited to check some of these books out. U look so good in that pumpkin top.
My favourite book I read this decade has to be Switched by Amanda Hocking. I got it free with a magazine at the airport at the end of 2010 when I was travelling to visit my childhood best friend for my 11th birthday. I'd loved reading before then, but that book always sticks out in my mind as it lead to me discovering one of my favourite authors of all time.
Please please please do a book talk on Defy Me And Restore Me by Taherah Mafi. They were both really great!
You look like you had so much fun making this video :)
My favourite book from a book series was ACOMAF but my favourite single was probably Matilda, by Roald Dahl. I’m only 13, so the majority of my reading life was established in this decade, which is why it holds so many memories for me.
Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, ACOTAR, Throne of Glass...
My book of the decade is Six of Crows. It’s SO good and really got me back into reading fantasy again!
I cant believe this video is already here, this is a staple that always reminds me that it's the end of the year I cant believe it's almost 2020 like,,
While Again, But Better as a whole wasn’t really for me I still loved my time with it and how much it reminded me of you (you are literally a light). I am absolutely convinced that your abilities as a writer are just going to get better and better because you’re a natural story teller! I literally read Again, But Better in one sitting (which I haven’t done with any book in a while). Forever supporting you love. 🥰 This is the only comment I could make here because I haven’t read any of the other books on your favorites list 😂😂😂. I remember a time when I started watching BookTube and was like this Christine chick talks so fast and she’s too animated and now I live for your videos and I go back and watch older videos on occasion because your UA-cam/ BookTube content is SO FRIKIN GOOD. So so good. And I think carrying such a vibrant disposition is absolutely inspiring. I hope you have a lovely Christmas and I wish you and Juan (oh god I wrote Juan cuz I swear in the boyfriend tag you called him that? Idk hahaha but JOHN) all the happiness ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think my favorite book of the decade is The Last Olympian. I didn't really pick Percy Jackson up until a couple of years ago, and when I did I just flew through every Rick Riordan book I could get a hold of. I love all of Riordan's other books, but the Last Olympian is the one that really sticks out for me.
Again, But Better is definitely my top fav! Christine, it was AMAZINGGGG!!!
THANK YOU ELISABETH
I LOVE Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell! And A Court of Mist and Fury!!
My book of the decade was Turtles All the Way Down and my series of the decade was Percy Jackson.
I’ve binge read the Throne of glass series this year. And yeah it’s up there in my favourite book series. Probably like second or third place.
My favorite must be chaos walking but that was in earls 10s when I read it.
same with fangirl! i always come back to it. 💖💖
Book of the decade is Pjo, because of those I started really reading! So I would be nothing like I am today if it wasn’t for Percy Jackson! I also adored Anne of green gables cause I saw myself on Anne in so many ways so I think that must go as second best book of the decade!
fav stand alone: call me by your name
series: a court of mist and fury
Inheritance by Christopher Paolini is my book of the decade! for standalone it's Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand!
My book of the decade is one hundred percent the dark artifices. Specifically queen of air and darkness just because it was so long anticipated and it fucking delivered. It had me enthralled from start to finish and left it open for more Cassandra clare. My stand alone book of the decade has to be we were liars by e.lockhart because damn that book was so good and it made me laugh and cry and think and go crazy with the twist. It was just so incredibly written. But the shadowhunter series have really shaped this decade for me because they have completely change how I read. Thank you cassandra clare for giving that to us. I also have again but better on my reading list for this year and hoping to get round to it at some point. X
Nice to know you haven't changed, last video I saw of yours was your bloodlines silver shadows book talk 😆 hi!:)
My book of 2019( it’s way to hard to pick a decade) is I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon. It was beautifully crafted, and absolutely fascinating. The ending left me with a completely different understanding of the entire story. This book got me into the historical fiction genre, and I totally recommend it to anyone who has ever been interested in the Grand Duchess Anastasia.
I read Again But Better over the summer whilst sitting on the beach lol, definitely one of the best books I read in 2019
I think my book of the decade would be A Court Of Mist And Fury by our queen Sarah J Maas.
Probs for the reason of how much I related to Feyre and how much I loved her story of recovery that showed that no matter how bad your life may be, it will always get better.
I’m still in a dark place, but ever since I discovered SJM and read ACOMAF, my life has become a lot better and I’m convinced I’ll eventually get my dream life to become a reality😁
My top 4 books of the year are
4. Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas
3.Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
2. Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren
1. Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas
My series book of the decade is so hard to pick but I think I might have to go with To All The Boys I Loved Before. I absolutely fell in love with the Throne of Glass books this year, but TATBILB I read kind of in the middle of the decade and it was the first series I fell in love with after going through a two year reading slump. My stand alone book of the decade would either be Amy & Rogers Epic Detour or Perks of Being a Wallflower. Both of them I read towards the beginning of the decade and they have a lot of meaning to me.
Totally agree with Queen of Shadows. EVERY PAGE IN THAT BOOK WAS A WHIRLWIND
Just finished the audiobook for again but better!! I loved it!! At a point i was so into it i was trying to find house chores to do so i could keep listening lol It resonated with me soooo much, especially the very beginning!! Congratsssss ❤️
Thank you so much for reading! ❤️❤️
Unhoneymooners is going to be my next read! I relate, in the first half of this decade I read almost exclusively series (The Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Maximum Ride, The Mortal Instruments...) and recently it's been a lot of contemporary novels.
Christine, I’m so excited to read again but better! The main character is named Shane and I was so excited the first time I found out because my name is Shain just spelt a little different 😂!
