    I loved Again But Better! I was at the Campbell stop and it was my first book signing and I’m so so so glad it was!! It was the most amazing thing! Thank you so so much for writing this amazing book, I own all three different editions and I’ve been watching all the writing vlogs since the first one came out. Thank you for making amazing UA-cam content and the most AMAZING book i have ever read!!

    I just want to say that I have been watching your channel since I was in 7th grade, and I am now a sophomore in college. Every time I am in a book slump, I come to your channel and get inspired to pick up another book. You are such a role model and a pure source on the internet! Thank you so much for inspiring and just being yourself. I teared up watching this a lot!! Thank you again! Keep writing and making videos, you are amazing!

    Words cannot describe how proud I felt reading this book 💓 I absolutely loved it! I have been watching your channel since 2012 and just watching your journey and how you worked to accomplish this achievement is so inspiring. I am currently studying abroad in the Netherlands and this book honestly couldn't have came at a better time. It's my first time ever living away from home and in a different country no less and your book has made me realise that I need to make the most of every opportunity here that I can because unlike Shane I won't get to do it again (but better). Thank you for always putting a smile on my face, I can always count on you and your videos to that!

Thank you so much for that. I teared up watching the first stop and everyone cheered so incredibly loudly for you. I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to read your next book!

You worked hard! I love all the parts of this Video, especially your screaming fans. I see Emma, and Jesse, and Reagan! Wow! I know your Mom and Dad Are So Proud! ❤️ My favorite is when you got to sit with Sarah J. Maas, Moderating. Did you ever imagine she would be asking you questions about your own book? That had to be really exciting Also! I’m Sure You Were So Tired, But It’s So Worth It! I’m So Proud Of You And Your New Book! Hugs!

    Congratulations Christine!! I'm sooo excited for you! :D I wish I could have been at the Portland event, it was so fun meeting you and taking a trip over to Powells when you and Natasha had that meet up a few years ago. I found your videos years ago and I have loved keeping up with you ever since. You were the first person on youtube I could find that really reminded me of me, and you continue to inspire me all the time with your excitement for stories, your excitement for life, and your unapologetic silliness. And you have such a big heart! I wanna be like you when I grow up!
