If you need any murder story recs, Agatha Christie has a really good one called And Then There Were None. Another one that’s not as well known is called The Man in the Brown Suit, it’s a major ravenclaw read, but it also has romance throughout the mystery and it’s one of my favorites!
I love how I learnt about Emily Henry because you mentioned her in a book haul, became obsessed with her, and now I get to see you be equally obsessed and in love with her books and writing 😍

I feel like my favourite books of all time are all ones I've heard you talk about already- Ninth House, SoC, Shadowhunters series etc. And I feel like you've already read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but that has been a recent favourite of mine for sure. But one book that I barely hear anyone talk about is Know My Name by Chanel Miller!! Ohmygod, even if memoirs are not your thing, I strongly feel that this is a book everyone must read. It's about what Miller went through regarding her SA case (which happened at Stanford University). I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since I finished it and it pushed me to tears several times. There were so many moments that I was comforted by and related to as an asian woman too. It's written so well, and the messages are so powerful. Blew me away.
Hi Christine!! I've been a long time follower but haven't been around for a while. I just finished reading Landline by Rainbow Rowell (like 45 minutes ago) and remembered when you first uploaded your booktalk about it, so I went to listen to it and it got me watching your more recent content, too! I literally just finished watching your Life Update from this time last year and I'm glad to hear how you're doing. Would love to see another life update a year later!
The Ballad of Never After (books 2 of Once Upon a Broken Heart/ Caraval spin off), and Six Crimson Cranes are my two recent reads and top favourites for this year 🥰
Carrie Soto is back is definitely my favourite book of the year, please please do a review when you finish it, I miss finishing a book and immediately watching your review to hear your thoughts XD
Books that I loved this summer that have left a lasting mark 🎉❤️: Romance: The Blue Castle by L.M Montgomery(this is usually in the YA section with the Anne of Green Gables book. It is NOT a YA though. The character is 29) Fantasy: -Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson -The Farseers Trilogy(starting with The Assassin’s Apprentice) by Robin Hobb -Red Rising by Pierce Brown The Wingfeather Saga by Andrew Peterson(best middle grade I have ever read) Sci-fi -Red Rising by Pierce Brown Classics -The Tenant of Wildfell Hall by Anne Brontë - The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde -Mansfield Park by Jane Austen

I love hearing about what you’ve been reading! I’ve been binging Sarah J Maas this summer, so those have all been my favs. I’m currently on Heir of Fire! And last year I said my new favorite book of all time was The Midnight Library. I’m not sure if that’s still true for me, but I do love that book with my whole heart!
Ooh, maybe but it’s so hard to pick one! I love them all so far and they’ve been so fun to binge. But it’s definitely between A Court of Silver Flames and A Court of Mist and Fury for the top spot. However, I’m almost at Queen of Shadows and I know that’s your fav (and it’s also my roommate’s fav), so we’ll see which one I like best after that :)
Yaaasssss Christine I missed you ❤️ just binged all your videos while doing crafts and it's like hanging out with an old friend ❤️ Some book recommendations if you fancy it: - Blue Roan Child by jamieson findlay (horse girl goes on fairytale adventure - maybe my fave book of all time? Again childhood fave) - drift house by Dale peck (childhood fave, narnia meets pirates) More recently: - sacrifice box by Martin Stewart (the way its written is thematically excellent but it's creepy crawly heavy) - red queen by Victoria aveyard (think mutants and throne of glass had a baby; idk if you've already read it) Tbh my fave books of all time are by Sarah J Maas but I thought you'd like something you probably haven't read yet 😅
Ooh favorite books from this year: Notes on an Execution, Remarkably Bright Creatures, The Island of Missing Trees, Every Summer After, and A River Enchanted! If I had to pick an all time favorite right now it would be Piranesi.
CHRISTINE!! My favorite author of all time is Rachel Lynn Solomon and I already told you on Instagram to read them, but Today Tonight Tomorrow is what you should read for that challenge video. Romcom perfection. Rivals to lovers. Last day of senior year. PERFECTION.
Hello, I'm General James Charles McConville from. Quincy, Massachusetts, United States, I'm presently in Ukraine helping with Heavy war machines, weapons, Are you from the states. 🇺🇸?...
one of my new favorites is Ballad For Sophie by Filipe Melo. It's a graphic novel and they mention classical music a lot. when the music gets mentioned, i recommend listening to that song while reading until the next song is mentioned. Then there is an actual Ballad for Sophie that Filipe Melo wrote, listen to that one at the end when i comes up
I was so excited when I saw this notification!!!😊 My favorite book of all time is probably Doon by Carie Corp and Lorie Langdon! I love the world and the fantasy aspects
I have recently read Babel by R. F. Kuang and IT WAS AMAZING!!! HIGHLY RECOMMED IS WAS SO GOOD HIGHLY RELEVANT TO TODAY. I was smiling, and crying and angry and sad and oh my god it was just great!
I can't recommend my favorites to you, you were the one that introduced them to me lols. I almost finished the full CoHo repertoires and my fav is it ends with us (so excited for the sequel!!), And the Cassandra Clare Shadowhunters world... A recent favorite would maybe be "the deal" by Elle Kennedy, a very sweet college romance
I always love hearing about what you’re reading! Some of my all time faves (because it’s impossible to choose just one 😅) that I think you would like are: Forever, Interrupted by Taylor Jenkins Reid The Screaming Staircase by Jonathan Stroud A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren The Grace Year by Kim Liggett
You should read The Lake by Natasha Preston if you do please make a video on it I loved this book and I am going crazy because there is barley any videos on this book.

I’ve been LOVING Once Upon A Broken Heart lately and the second book just came out last month and IT BROKE ME! Read the Caraval series by the same author AND IT WAS GREAT! Anything with magic and romance, sign me up!
Books I’ve read this year that may be in my top favorites list: The Sundown Motel by Simone St James; The Deep Deep Snow by Brian Freeman, The Finlay Donovan Series by Elle Cosimano, and The Guest List by Lucy Foley
@@polandbananasBOOKS lol well technically the favorites of all time is Harry Potter haha; probably specifically book four. But generally of all time (not including nostalgic childhood reads) I’d say some of the top few are: The Deep Deep Snow (Brian Freeman), The Book Thief (Markus Zusak), Home Before Dark (Riley Sager) and IT (Stephen King) . Most of those are thriller/horror so I guess that also answers your question for recs in those genres 💜
My favourite book of all time is Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews! It can be read as the first book in the series (even though it’s kind of the fourth) because it’s the first in a new character’s perspective! Love love love it and I think you will too! Xxx
I don’t know if I can pick a favorite book of all time for your challenge video. I really love One Day by David Nicholls. My favorite(s) I’ve read this year are the shadow game trilogy by Amanda Foody. 10/10.

The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde is one of my favs, every sentence is absolutly gorgeous. Not sure if it's your type of book though, because it's more about the language and ideas then the characters. A recen favourit that might be more your style is Princess Floralinda and the forty-flight tower by Tamsyn Muir. It's one of the funniest books I've read, a short charming satire about princesses in fairy tales with two really fun characters (great audiobook)
Ahh, I'm plannign on reading Gallant close to Halloween and I can't wait! Also, one of my favourites is The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstren (author of The Night Circus). I thought it was like a giant puzzle and loved how weird and mystical it was! It's also drenched with the power of words and stories!!🖤
Hello, I'm General James Charles McConville from. Quincy, Massachusetts, United States, I'm presently in Ukraine helping with Heavy war machines, weapons, Are you from the states. 🇺🇸?.?
Some of my favorite books of all time are the Caraval series and the Once Upon a Broken Heart series!! They're part of a shared universe and so addicting!! Writing style is very magical and the world is unique. They feel like their own fairy tale. You should read them!!!
Favourite books are definitely Lessons in vengeance by Victoria Lee. It’s dark academia on steroids. Nice LGBTQ representation. Amazing imagery and pros. This book was such a beautiful and twisted mystery. Loved it 10/10. And also Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth. A contemporary LGBTQ romance. Set in an Irish highschool. Giving major Derry girls vibes. P.s. Great to see you back Christine!
My favorite book of all time is Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery. Some of the books that I read this summer are Places We've Never Been by Kasie West, My Sister's Big Fat Indian Wedding and The Knockout by Sajni Patel. I also read Zyla and Kai by Kristina Forest. I really enjoyed your video Christine. Keep up the great work.

Favorite book of all time is probably The Host by Stephenie Meyer. Love that book so much!! Also Where The Crawdads Sing, All Rhodes Lead Here, and To Kill A Kingdom!! But we can not forget about my favorite series of all time which is ACOTAR, where almost all of the books are golden. But original question is books I read this Summer that I loved and that would be When In Rome by Sarah Adams!!!
My favorite book of all time I read when I was in middle school and it’s called I will always write back by Caitlin Alifirenka, Martin Ganda, and Liz Welch. It is based on a true story of pen pals and friendship!
Hello, I'm General James Charles McConville from. Quincy, Massachusetts, United States, I'm presently in Ukraine helping with Heavy war machines, weapons, Are you from the states. 🇺🇸?..
you should definitely read Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman. it’s very different from other what romance books i’ve read before. It’s a second chance romance💓
Also I missed you talking and explaining things about boowksss love you and you are so wonderful I’ve met you once at Comic-Con in 2017 but ya you are just that I feel.
Hello, I'm General James Charles McConville from. Quincy, Massachusetts, United States, I'm presently in Ukraine helping with Heavy war machines, weapons, Are you from the states. 🇺🇸?...
My favorite fantasy book of all time is ‚The Mirror Walker‘ by Christelle Dabos. Its character focused with a lot of plot twists and a whimsical fantasy/dystopian setting that feels so dreamy. I can recommend with my whole heart.

you're just like me I was just on vacation in Costa Rica and saw THREE centipedes in the place we were staying 😭 everyone else was like they're just bugs they can't hurt you
It's hard to pick a perfect recommendation b/c you've read most of my favorite books (and recommended a good chunk of them :) ), but the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson is close to the top and even though I know you've read it, you never read the third book, so this is your sign. (Also, rereading the first two books has definite value)

I just finished Legendborn by Tracy Deonn and its one of the best YA fantasy books I've read in a while I HIGHLY recommend! Great characters and an excellent magic system!
I just read manga books this summer, my most favourite thing I read this summer was Chainsaw Man volumes 1-11. The first episode of the anime just came out today and it didn't disappoint, it was so awesome!

I just finished Nona The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir and am sad I now have to wait for the final book. 💀 Currently reading The Golden Enclaves by Noami Novik.
In my youth I invented a dish I call Noodle Kaboodle. At its simplest it just pasta and mashed potatoes mixed together, but to bring it to the next level you add meats & cheeses like bacon & beef, topped with a blend of cheeses. There are no rules to what you can add to the whole kit & kabooble! No bugs though, you can’t add bugs to the Noodle Kaboodle!

I set myself a challenge this year to finish at least 50 books, and I’m almost done! I read 22 books this summer alone! Some favorites from the year so far: The Secret History by Donna Tartt, If We Were Villains by M L Rio, and Layla by Colleen Hoover.

Love your videos and recommandations! I was curious, do you ever read independently published books? There's a lot of really good independent romance authors out there! :)
@@polandbananasBOOKS Ah, okay! Well, I could list romance authors for days, haha, but if you're interested, one who really comes to mind is Kennedy Ryan. Her books handle some hard-hitting topics, but the romance always shines bright in my eyes. :)

Read Defend the Dawn along with us this month and join us for the Booksplosion liveshow: bit.ly/3TeQDM2
If you need any murder story recs, Agatha Christie has a really good one called And Then There Were None. Another one that’s not as well known is called The Man in the Brown Suit, it’s a major ravenclaw read, but it also has romance throughout the mystery and it’s one of my favorites!
I love how I learnt about Emily Henry because you mentioned her in a book haul, became obsessed with her, and now I get to see you be equally obsessed and in love with her books and writing 😍
SHE'S AMAZING OH MY GOSH

But generally of all time (not including nostalgic childhood reads) I’d say some of the top few are: The Deep Deep Snow (Brian Freeman), The Book Thief (Markus Zusak), Home Before Dark (Riley Sager) and IT (Stephen King) .

My favourite book is the starless sea! !

Favourite books are definitely Lessons in vengeance by Victoria Lee. It’s dark academia on steroids. Nice LGBTQ representation. Amazing imagery and pros. This book was such a beautiful and twisted mystery. Loved it 10/10.
And also Not My Problem by Ciara Smyth. A contemporary LGBTQ romance. Set in an Irish highschool. Giving major Derry girls vibes.
P.s. Great to see you back Christine!

My favorite fantasy book of all time is ‚The Mirror Walker‘ by Christelle Dabos. Its character focused with a lot of plot twists and a whimsical fantasy/dystopian setting that feels so dreamy. I can recommend with my whole heart.

you're just like me I was just on vacation in Costa Rica and saw THREE centipedes in the place we were staying 😭 everyone else was like they're just bugs they can't hurt you
Oh my god that sounds horrifying XD
It's hard to pick a perfect recommendation b/c you've read most of my favorite books (and recommended a good chunk of them :) ), but the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson is close to the top and even though I know you've read it, you never read the third book, so this is your sign. (Also, rereading the first two books has definite value)

In my youth I invented a dish I call Noodle Kaboodle. At its simplest it just pasta and mashed potatoes mixed together, but to bring it to the next level you add meats & cheeses like bacon & beef, topped with a blend of cheeses. There are no rules to what you can add to the whole kit & kabooble! No bugs though, you can’t add bugs to the Noodle Kaboodle!

The Queen Has Returned
Love your videos and recommandations! I was curious, do you ever read independently published books? There's a lot of really good independent romance authors out there! :)
thank you!!!
@@polandbananasBOOKS Ah, okay! Well, I could list romance authors for days, haha, but if you're interested, one who really comes to mind is Kennedy Ryan. Her books handle some hard-hitting topics, but the romance always shines bright in my eyes. :)
Christine do you have a letterboxd
i feel really out of the loop, i don't know what a letterboxd is? WHAT IS IT?
@@polandbananasBOOKS I think a P.O. Box what what they ment🙃
