"See what i did there" lol i did NOT like wildcard i hope you like it more than myself the audiobook for strange the dreamer is great! also never got to library of souls!
Lol oh man! That's a bummer about wildcard but good to know about stranger the dreamer and omg I just saw that ur qoaad review went up I'm so excited to go watch!!
I’m still ashamed I haven’t finished The Lunar Chronicles!! The first two books are marvelous but then I stopped for NO REASON!!! My goal this year for sure to finish it✨⭐️❤️
Jay G it's good I'm not alone! I had the first two books for a year! (Because I was waiting for the paperback UK edition of KOA to come out) and I just don't know when to start it! So I'm hoping that I would read a few novels before starting that big chunk of a series because it will be a hecka long series!
I....bought Throne of Glass...and read one chapter. Lol. Now it's packed in a box that I most likely won't open until I'm out of college in 3 and a half years. Well...I tried. Haha.
The Crown shows she isn’t 100% a horrible royal pain. Nowhere near as good as The Selection series of course but there’s some cute moments with their characters. Worth the short read
Michelle Langner i agree immensely. I absolutely hated Eadlyn, but The Crown has so much redemption!! I’m still arguing with myself if that’s my favorite book of the whole series.
@@annabelcrescibene4257 I liked Edalyn, I just recognized that she was raised in royalty and was spoiled because of it. That's why I liked the redemption arc. And yes, I found America annoying at times, but I always find the characters I like annoying lol. Can't help it, I still love America
@@meredithclark6580 Wow, favorite book? I think the first one was my favorite. Definitely wasn't The Elite, that one generally pissed me off a lot lol. I did really love the conclusion in The Crown though
I'm pretty good with finishing series, but STARTING SERIES is a whole other story, I have had the Lunar Chronicles sitting on my shelf since 2016! I JUST NEED TO FREAKING READ THEM
@@Katrein @Kat I think first it's kinda hard to get a sympathy for the main characters in a darker shade of magic. I mean I didn't like Lila in the beginning but at some time in the book one might change his/her mind about the characters. Maybe that is the reason why it's hard to get into the book :o
You need to read the A Darker Shade of Magic and Vicious series so that I can force myself to focus on them! Also, an idea for when you get overwhelmed with reading choices: 1.Write the names on scraps of paper and put them in a jar. 2. When you can't decide, pick a name out of the jar. 3. *optional* if you really aren't feeling the first one you picked, pick again. 4. Read the book.
It's so hard to actually approach our TBR list, and I know guilt and shame have a lot to do with that. But what I find helpful when I feel guilty about anything, my mom tells me "ok, you did that. But instead of being overwhelmed by the feeling what are you going to do to help you make changes?" and usually it's little decisions. If you want to read specific books with your eyes then make a pile in an order that you have to stick to. You know you love these authors, so you know you will enjoy the book. Read in the little spaces of time you have - you probably do this already, but it's one of the best pieces of advice I've received on learning any new skill or trying to get anything done. Maybe along with BookSplosion you also organise to read another book from your pile with your friends on the side? And since you asked, I'm dying to know what you thought of "Life and Death", "KoA", and "Dreams of Gods and Monsters", in that order ;)
I haven’t finished the Trials of Apollo series, Magnus Chase series, Library of Souls, the Red Queen series, The Darkest Legacy, and Crooked Kingdom hahahahah 😭 THE SHAME
Haven’t finished TDA, Have put miss peregrine on pause because school is a whole b, Haven’t started the darkest minds, legend, young elites, red queen, grisha trilogy +six of crows, the 5th wave, scythe, falling kingdoms, etc. I WANT TO READ THEM ALL BUT THERE ARE TOO MANY OF THEM
I'm so ashamed I haven't finished these yet cause they're so popular... Maggie Stiefvater's Raven Cycle Series, V. E. Schwab's Shades of Magic Series, & Laini Taylor's Daughter of Smoke & Bone Series. 😅😅😅
So excited for that wildcard book talk and I completely agree with everything you said about the crown, but I want to hear your opinion on who she ends up with!
I started reading a few series in 2013. Then I found your channel and goodreads and my love grew exceptionally. 2014 was a bad year and reading and listening to audiobooks became my escape. I read around 270 books that year. I started with young adult mostly dystopian books. Then I found adult books, and I have SOOOO many series I have not finished. I want to read them, but my taste have changed so much. I hope one day I'll go back and finish all my young adult series because I did love them at one point... THE STRUGGLE!
Christine, i feel like you missed a series that you did almost a whole series of booktalks and thats the bloodlines series. Here me out, i can totally understand why you haven't gone back to reading Ruby Circle. You have a lot of other books you are currently reading and maybe don't have interest in the series anymore. BUT, its just one book in the series that you can finish and there's even a scene in the book that i am DYING to hear your reaction about.
I... I... I'm still waiting for you to read the Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead ....... I adored your book talks on the other 11 books so much so im sad u haven't gotten to that one yet /:
also haven’t finished MPHFPC, but don’t really feel like it either. BUTTY GOODNEWS! There are 3 new books coming out to the 5th wave series, which is my excuse for not reading the 3rd book yet. Because, “i am going to wait for the 4th book, because then i’ll reread the first 2, then the 3rd and then the 4th and then i’m updated with the series” so no worries, it’ll be fine :’)
Love you so much Christine. You're such an inspiration and the whole reason I read Cassandra Clare books is because of you and they are the most amazing books in the world.
SPOILER WARNING! . . . . . I didn't find it that sad, his sacrifice had to be made. It also allowed not only Apollo, but Piper to grow as characters. I actually found the death of the Pando sadder. Sorry if your favorite Character is Jason though.
i started reading the penryn books because of your recommendations years and years ago, and read end of days when it came out (and loved all 3 books very dearly) and Honestly, i'd 100% be there for an end of days booktalk whenever you end up getting to it, don't worry i'm holding the train up for you. i'm also very excited for you reading bright we burn!! that trilogy deserves so much love and recognition, so i'm happy you are trying to tackle that one sooner rather than later :)
I can't wait to see your booktalk on KoA! I started reading it the day it came out and finished a week later. It was an epic and amazing rollercoaster.
You should cosplay as Karen Page sometime. Every time I watch Daredevil I feel like you and Karen look so alike! Also if you liked Daredevil you'd love The Punisher, which is an amazing show that happens to have Karen in it too lol.
Exactly why did you not put the Kane Chronicles on this list? Have you even *started* that trilogy yet? Do you *not care* about the actual Percy Jackson crossover it leads to?
Daughter of smoke and bone, strange the dreamer. And I'm currently with you on the final throne of glass because me and my cousin are buddy reading it. It's AWESOME!
What about the Ruby Circle Christine? You haven't done a review yet on that book... To be fair though it was very very mediocre... It was more like a fanfic
@@haleyhentze5621 yeah, exactly! I love the Bloodlines series and especially Sydrian but God this last book wasn't good at all ... It was incredibly small and rushed. It really gets me how Sydrian never got an appropriate ending
Wildcard is so great! I can't wait to see your booktalk for it. I'm most ashamed that I haven't finished the mortal instruments series. I started city of fallen angels during a book slump after reading clockwork princess and now I just haven't been able to pick it back up and it makes me so upset...
I have a list of like ten book series that i have started but haven't gone around to finishing it. They are: The eragon series ( thanks for picking book one for booksplosion), raven cycle quartet, Chronicles of Narnia, Shiver, Raven's Gate series, Kingdom Keeper series, and Princess Diaries series. My goal is to finish either most or all the series
I didn’t think you would really care about what happens in the third Trials of Apollo considering your opinion on you-know-who. Actually I thought you might be excited. Ok that sounds bad lol
Bby I haven't kept up with ur channel recently, but this video was so so so rejuvenating lol Also have you read the Red Queen series?? Bc I'm emotionally and physically damaged and I need to scream w/ someone
I was SO SAD you never finished Penryn and the End of Days!! I absolutely loved that series and the last book is fantastic. I think you’d be able to get by with watching your booktalks, they would jog your memory enough. I hope you finish it eventually because I’m looking forward to your book talk.
omg you know me too well christine bc I’m so ready and excited for the kingdom of ash booktalk in the future! 😂😂 but also this video was so relatable and hilarious, no matter how much I read I always feel behind! I just try to remind myself that someday in the far future i’ll accomplish my reading goals, you got this! 😄
Finish Bright We Burn!! I was going to say KOA but you said to not say that..😂 and tbh I just started it because I haven’t wanted the TOG world to end.
STRANGE THE DREAMER STRANGE THE DREAMER! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, also LOVED THE VIDEO (and looking forward to when you finish KOA mwahahahahaahahahahahah)
OBSIDIO!!! I love that book, and I've been waiting for so long for your review video on it, because I love your Illuminae and Gemina book talks! Definately read that as soon as possible! Or listen to it, it's worth it for sure
@@juliakeeton6953 Well she likes fantasy so why not? Also how is it not a necessary read? It was written by one of the best fantasy writers. If his books aren't necessary then no book is. Also also she likes Game of Thrones which quite frankly isn't even good anymore so to read a good story set in the same world would be in her favour.
Phily G first of all, asofal is not set in the same world as throne of glass. Second of all, I LOVE Sarah J. Maas books. I enjoyed acofal because I love the characters so much. But nothing really happened in it. It was mostly Feyre just shopping for presents. The only thing we learn is that Nesta is really messed up now. Also, Kat and a few other booktubers, who are her friends, started to read it. But they DNF it because it was boring to them. Since their close to her, she probably trusts their opinion and won’t be likely to pick it up.
The shame from the series I haven't finished was so strong that my first book resolution is to finished them. this is it. this is me drawing the line in the sand. I'm finishing EVERYTHING
I would love for you to finish End Of Days Series! The last book just ties everything in so well. I am ashamed that I haven't read Red Rising, I haven't even tried to open Empire of Storms, Warcross, Strange the Dreamer, and I'm sure there are way more.
I also have not finished the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, though I only ever read the first one. I am determined to pick it back up in the next year or so.
I was really dissapointed when I finished The Crown and you didn't have a video about it. I would still love to hear your thoughts! I promise Eadlyn gets better!
I know it’s not really a recent book, but I would love to see a What If It’s Us book talk. I love this book so much and it would be awesome to see what you think of it too
The Crown is the smallest in the series, and I would recommend the audiobook! I've only just started reading Throne of Glass series from watching many many videos saying how great it was! Been on my bookcase for months... I have to yet finish the ACOTAR series...no spoilers plz!
I’m posting my own list because I hope this will encourage me to finish these series. 1. Lunar Chronicles (I started this series when Cinder first came out and I haven’t been able to finish it. I’m ashamed.) 2. Shatter me (same as lunar chronicles) 3. Delirium (I only need the last book but I feel like I’ve missed the train) I’m sure there’s more but these are the ones that I really want to get to.
Hey Christine!!! I am so excited for this video 😍 I love the idea of talking about books or series you haven’t finished. Of course I haven’t read a lot of books that are super popular because I haven’t been on BookTube that long (making videos of my own) but I will admit I have a very long list of books to read because of BookTube so I truly have no excuse other than complete laziness 😂 Don’t feel bad about not have finished Kingdom of Ash I haven’t even read Throne Of Glass yet 🙈 don’t shame me please 😭 but I’m planning on reading it in 2019. #doordie #readthroneofglass I must admit that the selection series has never caught my attention... what so ever 😂 so I won’t be reading it. Everyone has their own tastes and it just doesn’t happen to catch my interest 😐 I am JUST barely reading Vicious and I must say it is AMAZING 😉 I am so glad I picked up the book though it is taking me a slower time to read it 😞🙈 but I am loving it 💕💕💕 Lol I haven’t read illuminate either. 😂😂😂 it is on my TBR though so I feel like I should get some credit.... 😂🙈😉 I haven’t read Wild Card or War Cross either. I’m sorry I know I’m so far behind!!! 2019 though.... 2019 is my year to catch up and stay current. Yupp, Yupp Again I haven’t read Strange the Dreamer or Muse of Nightmares either. I will though... I will 😂 Yep I haven’t read any of these books. 🙈🙈🙈 I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who still loves Twilight 😍😍😍 my ❤️!!!! Yes just YES
VE Schwab owns my entire soul I cannot WAIT to watch a booktalk about her books (especially Vicious bc I read them and have NOBODY TO TALK TO about them 😭) and I feel you about the daughter of smoke and home series. I just cannot get to the last one aaaaaa
CHRISTINE!!!! The Shades of Magic trilogy is one of my favourite series and you uploaded this video ON MY BIRTHDAY THIS IS A SIGN AND YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY READ IT VERY SOON!!!!!!
I got spoiled for Burning Maze before I even started ToA so it took me several months to start the series. But I did it and it was so worth it! It was really good and I can’t wait for Tyrant’s Tomb. Even if you are spoiled, reading it will still make your day, I promise. Good luck to you!❤️
There’s a lot of series I haven’t finished either to the point that I have a whole note of it. 1. I haven’t started Throne of Glass so can’t relate but I need to get to it. 2. I WANT YOU TO READ THE CROWN!! I would love to see your infuriating book talk. Personally I liked it but I don’t know if I read it now, I would feel the same way. 3. The only thing I have read of Victoria Schwab is This Savage Song and I want to read more 4. Haven’t read Penryn and the End of Days either. 5. I NEED TO FINISH ILLUMINAE TOO!! I have yet to read Gemina though so that needs to happen soon. 6. I ALSO HAVE NOT READ WILDCARD AND I AM ASHAMED. I got it immediately and then I have not read it. Ughh. 7. I NEED TO FINISH STRANGE THE DREAMER. I haven’t read her other series though. 8. Haven’t read And I Darken but I’m ashamed because I met her TWICE and I have still not read it. I need to. 9. Still haven’t read Miss Peregrine’s and Jesse will be ashamed. I’ve owned it since 2016 😩 10. I gave up on The 5th Wave trilogy so honestly not worth it. 11. READ THE DARKEST LEGACY PLEASE!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR BOOK TALK AND I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT IT! THIS IS THE ONE THAT I NEED YOU TO READ THE MOST!! 12. Haven’t read Twilight and probably never will. Surprised you haven’t read it though. Also the extra ones I have not read anything by Brandon Sanderson and I haven’t read The Iron Trial so you are not alone XD
Everytime I get a video notification I hope its the kingdom of ash talk but noooooo Christine has a life and a job that requires more than just reading books 😘 (no pressure; I feel like sjm is better enjoyed not rushed, I had to rush koa and I was sad about it; like the ideal time would be summer holidays when it's raining and you take a long weekend to finish it) Actually curious though apart from video process and writing what else do you do behind the scenes? X
I have this problem too, but I fixed it by going on a two-year cycle. I read the first book in 2015, then the next in 2017, and finish the trilogy (if it's a trilogy), in 2019. It's a long wait for payoff but it helps me revisit life two years ago and I don't have any unfinished series 6 years away!
"See what i did there"
lol i did NOT like wildcard i hope you like it more than myself
the audiobook for strange the dreamer is great!
also never got to library of souls!
Lol oh man! That's a bummer about wildcard but good to know about stranger the dreamer and omg I just saw that ur qoaad review went up I'm so excited to go watch!!
OMG BOTH OF YOU READ LIBRARY OF SOULS IT'S THE SECOND BEST ONE! AND THEN READ MAP OF DAYS IT WAS AMAZING!
Jesse would be.......
......disappointed
But I dunno, I liked the series (haven’t read the fourth yet), but it wasn’t my favourite
I didn't like Wildcard also :( I really loved Warcross and was disappointed with the finale.
At least I’m not alone.... “why can’t you finish a goddamn series in a timely manner” 😂😂
For me that's like ALL popular books because I'm broke yet I work all the time. Adulting sucks 😂

I shit you not, I checked into a hotel room to read it without anyone interrupting.

Don't worry I haven't read Winter yet

Please read Kingdom of Ash as soon as you possibly can. This has been a PSA 💖
I haven’t even STARTED Throne of Glass SoooOooOoOo
Jay G it's good I'm not alone! I had the first two books for a year! (Because I was waiting for the paperback UK edition of KOA to come out) and I just don't know when to start it! So I'm hoping that I would read a few novels before starting that big chunk of a series because it will be a hecka long series!

Wow the series u are mentioning like damn u living in booktube of 2012😂💀
Looooool
I'm so happy you mentioned Penryn & the End of Days!
So am I, but it's clearly not gonna happen😭😭I want a booktalk
What about The Ruby Circle????
Agh I haven't watched your videos in so long I forgot how much I love your channel
Champion and acowar are looking at me while im watching this
Katherine Nina champion....... please read........ just........ 😭
I hated champion lol. not worth it
You should definetly pick them up... You won´t regret it
Katherine Nina you should read champion before the sequel comes out 😁

Where the hell is the Ruby circle?!?!?!?!
I hardcore relate to this shame😂 there is so many awesome books out there and so little time to read them
Most relatable video ever - you forgot The Ruby Circle!!
Definitely a Darker Shade of Magic - you need to experience the Schwab
am I the only person who couldn't get into this book??
@@Katrein @Kat I think first it's kinda hard to get a sympathy for the main characters in a darker shade of magic. I mean I didn't like Lila in the beginning but at some time in the book one might change his/her mind about the characters.
Maybe that is the reason why it's hard to get into the book :o
Still shook that we never got a Ruby Circle booktalk.......
Georgie Walker what happened?
The A Darker Shade of Magic books honestly give me life I can reread it over and over again and never get sick of it I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE
“I just want to read all the things!”
-Christine is a whole mood
You need to read the A Darker Shade of Magic and Vicious series so that I can force myself to focus on them!

Bby I haven't kept up with ur channel recently, but this video was so so so rejuvenating lol
Also have you read the Red Queen series?? Bc I'm emotionally and physically damaged and I need to scream w/ someone
Amethyst.Glade aw your profile picture💚
I was SO SAD you never finished Penryn and the End of Days!! I absolutely loved that series and the last book is fantastic. I think you’d be able to get by with watching your booktalks, they would jog your memory enough. I hope you finish it eventually because I’m looking forward to your book talk.
YES REREAD THE ANGLEFALL SERIES!!!
BRIGHT WE BURN!!! It is honestly so amazing and I absolutely NEED a booktalk about it!
did you ever finish bloodlines?
I DID NOT *HIDES*
@@polandbananasBOOKS oh my god
omg you know me too well christine bc I’m so ready and excited for the kingdom of ash booktalk in the future! 😂😂 but also this video was so relatable and hilarious, no matter how much I read I always feel behind! I just try to remind myself that someday in the far future i’ll accomplish my reading goals, you got this! 😄
Finish Bright We Burn!! I was going to say KOA but you said to not say that..😂 and tbh I just started it because I haven’t wanted the TOG world to end.
I feel ya!!! Same here, but I will tell ya, I miss you talking about these series !!!!!
STRANGE THE DREAMER STRANGE THE DREAMER! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, also LOVED THE VIDEO (and looking forward to when you finish KOA mwahahahahaahahahahahah)
OBSIDIO!!! I love that book, and I've been waiting for so long for your review video on it, because I love your Illuminae and Gemina book talks! Definately read that as soon as possible! Or listen to it, it's worth it for sure
You gotta read ASoIaF though
yup
Phily G it’s not really a necessary read, and she probably heard bad things about it. So I don’t think she’s going to read it
@@juliakeeton6953 Well she likes fantasy so why not? Also how is it not a necessary read? It was written by one of the best fantasy writers. If his books aren't necessary then no book is.
Also also she likes Game of Thrones which quite frankly isn't even good anymore so to read a good story set in the same world would be in her favour.
Phily G first of all, asofal is not set in the same world as throne of glass. Second of all, I LOVE Sarah J. Maas books. I enjoyed acofal because I love the characters so much. But nothing really happened in it. It was mostly Feyre just shopping for presents. The only thing we learn is that Nesta is really messed up now. Also, Kat and a few other booktubers, who are her friends, started to read it. But they DNF it because it was boring to them. Since their close to her, she probably trusts their opinion and won’t be likely to pick it up.
The shame from the series I haven't finished was so strong that my first book resolution is to finished them. this is it. this is me drawing the line in the sand. I'm finishing EVERYTHING
READ THE DARKEST LEGACY
every v.e. Schwab book eats away at me so much, especially seeing so many of her books on my shelf
i clicked so fast
I would love for you to finish End Of Days Series! The last book just ties everything in so well.
I am ashamed that I haven't read Red Rising, I haven't even tried to open Empire of Storms, Warcross, Strange the Dreamer, and I'm sure there are way more.
first
I also have not finished the Daughter of Smoke and Bone series, though I only ever read the first one. I am determined to pick it back up in the next year or so.
*spoilers for kingdom of ash* :
It was all a dream
I was really dissapointed when I finished The Crown and you didn't have a video about it. I would still love to hear your thoughts! I promise Eadlyn gets better!
I know it’s not really a recent book, but I would love to see a What If It’s Us book talk. I love this book so much and it would be awesome to see what you think of it too
So many of my favourites on this list!! You should definitely read V. E. Schwab’s vicious and ADSOM, obsidio, strange the dreamer and obviously KOA!
The Crown is the smallest in the series, and I would recommend the audiobook!
I've only just started reading Throne of Glass series from watching many many videos saying how great it was! Been on my bookcase for months...
I have to yet finish the ACOTAR series...no spoilers plz!
I’m posting my own list because I hope this will encourage me to finish these series.
1. Lunar Chronicles (I started this series when Cinder first came out and I haven’t been able to finish it. I’m ashamed.)
2. Shatter me (same as lunar chronicles)
3. Delirium (I only need the last book but I feel like I’ve missed the train)
I’m sure there’s more but these are the ones that I really want to get to.
Bright we burn is amazing I just finished the series last night and I was truely amazed with the ending 5 stars for sure!
Hey Christine!!!
I am so excited for this video 😍 I love the idea of talking about books or series you haven’t finished. Of course I haven’t read a lot of books that are super popular because I haven’t been on BookTube that long (making videos of my own) but I will admit I have a very long list of books to read because of BookTube so I truly have no excuse other than complete laziness 😂
Don’t feel bad about not have finished Kingdom of Ash I haven’t even read Throne Of Glass yet 🙈 don’t shame me please 😭 but I’m planning on reading it in 2019. #doordie #readthroneofglass
I must admit that the selection series has never caught my attention... what so ever 😂 so I won’t be reading it. Everyone has their own tastes and it just doesn’t happen to catch my interest 😐
I am JUST barely reading Vicious and I must say it is AMAZING 😉 I am so glad I picked up the book though it is taking me a slower time to read it 😞🙈 but I am loving it 💕💕💕
Lol I haven’t read illuminate either. 😂😂😂 it is on my TBR though so I feel like I should get some credit.... 😂🙈😉
I haven’t read Wild Card or War Cross either. I’m sorry I know I’m so far behind!!! 2019 though.... 2019 is my year to catch up and stay current. Yupp, Yupp
Again I haven’t read Strange the Dreamer or Muse of Nightmares either. I will though... I will 😂
Yep I haven’t read any of these books. 🙈🙈🙈
I am so happy to see that I am not the only one who still loves Twilight 😍😍😍 my ❤️!!!! Yes just YES
VE Schwab owns my entire soul I cannot WAIT to watch a booktalk about her books (especially Vicious bc I read them and have NOBODY TO TALK TO about them 😭)
and I feel you about the daughter of smoke and home series. I just cannot get to the last one aaaaaa
I'm so excited for your KOA booktalk!! Hope you love it as much as I did:)
Yeah... I was spoiled for Apollo too. I still gotta read that. I also haven't finished Clockwork Angel when I started it months ago...
CHRISTINE!!!! The Shades of Magic trilogy is one of my favourite series and you uploaded this video ON MY BIRTHDAY THIS IS A SIGN AND YOU SHOULD ABSOLUTELY READ IT VERY SOON!!!!!!
Christine!!! Congrats on 400k! 💛
I got spoiled for Burning Maze before I even started ToA so it took me several months to start the series. But I did it and it was so worth it! It was really good and I can’t wait for Tyrant’s Tomb. Even if you are spoiled, reading it will still make your day, I promise. Good luck to you!❤️
I’ve only read book one in the Penryn series... and it was so good! I need the other two!😍
I loved the End of Days. Such a good way to close out a series. It’s actually one of the few series I’ve finished. I’m the worst for finishing series.
There’s a lot of series I haven’t finished either to the point that I have a whole note of it.
1. I haven’t started Throne of Glass so can’t relate but I need to get to it.
2. I WANT YOU TO READ THE CROWN!! I would love to see your infuriating book talk. Personally I liked it but I don’t know if I read it now, I would feel the same way.
3. The only thing I have read of Victoria Schwab is This Savage Song and I want to read more
4. Haven’t read Penryn and the End of Days either.
5. I NEED TO FINISH ILLUMINAE TOO!! I have yet to read Gemina though so that needs to happen soon.
6. I ALSO HAVE NOT READ WILDCARD AND I AM ASHAMED. I got it immediately and then I have not read it. Ughh.
7. I NEED TO FINISH STRANGE THE DREAMER. I haven’t read her other series though.
8. Haven’t read And I Darken but I’m ashamed because I met her TWICE and I have still not read it. I need to.
9. Still haven’t read Miss Peregrine’s and Jesse will be ashamed. I’ve owned it since 2016 😩
10. I gave up on The 5th Wave trilogy so honestly not worth it.
11. READ THE DARKEST LEGACY PLEASE!!! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR BOOK TALK AND I NEED SOMEONE TO TALK ABOUT IT! THIS IS THE ONE THAT I NEED YOU TO READ THE MOST!!
12. Haven’t read Twilight and probably never will. Surprised you haven’t read it though.
Also the extra ones I have not read anything by Brandon Sanderson and I haven’t read The Iron Trial so you are not alone XD
Everytime I get a video notification I hope its the kingdom of ash talk but noooooo Christine has a life and a job that requires more than just reading books 😘 (no pressure; I feel like sjm is better enjoyed not rushed, I had to rush koa and I was sad about it; like the ideal time would be summer holidays when it's raining and you take a long weekend to finish it)
Actually curious though apart from video process and writing what else do you do behind the scenes? X
"Does this princess have a heart?" Me too 😂😂
I’m most excited for you to finish End of Days by Susan Ee! I binge-read all 3 books two years ago and then watched your book talks for the first 2!
I have this problem too, but I fixed it by going on a two-year cycle. I read the first book in 2015, then the next in 2017, and finish the trilogy (if it's a trilogy), in 2019. It's a long wait for payoff but it helps me revisit life two years ago and I don't have any unfinished series 6 years away!
Okay but your Trials of Apollo books talks are my favourite so pleaseeeeeee
