Our Christmas tree doesn’t have a theme. We have some sentimental ornaments. We throw a bunch of ornaments on the tree . A bunch of lights and call it a day . It looks like a mess and it’s amazing. We decorate very early last year we started decorating two weeks before thanksgiving.

[@chandlerainsley]

i love that! i'm hoping to get my tree up pretty early this year myself haha

[@bmoorerx]

haven’t watched yet but just had to say this thumbnail is cute as heck 🥰

[@chandlerainsley]

thank u! :)

[@sydneysbooks]

I am a HUGE Christmas person but more on the sentimental side, less the aesthetic. We have a fake tree and the collection of ornaments from the years that haven't broken yet 🤪

[@Val13012]

Cat montage healed a crack in my soul I didn't know I had.

[@jenhasaplan]

major props for a montage song with the lyrics “my friends on the internet talk to me more than my real ones do” because honestly same and embrace the christmas vibes whenever you want!!!! personally, I’m siphoning whatever joy I can from starting one of those obscenely overpriced but adorable christmas villages on my mantle

[@chandlerainsley]

hahah i wanted lyric-free music but already had this one downloaded. and omg omg i want a christmas village SO BAD

[@delaneyewert5399]

My family does sentimental ornaments. I love it cause when we decorate the tree together we can remember all the fun memories associated with each ornament🎄

[@lilyzreads]

Idk why but I love this thumbnail so much omg the flannel, the hair, the nails, it’s giving FALL

[@chandlerainsley]

ah thank you!!

[@jasminecrestmoore98]

Last year I bought a white tree and put colorful garland with small purple ornaments and clear/silber icicles. with a blue bow topper. it was cute, the rainbow garland was definately the main decoration lol. It was a very last minute situation - it was that or a bare tree because we didn't have anything and i was just happy it turned out cute.

[@chandlerainsley]

that sounds super cute!

[@mandymckk]

Most of my ornaments are sentimental/keepsakes! Every vacation I go on, I make sure to get an ornament! And then most of the rest are cutesy and whimsical little critters and other cheesy Christmas things haha

[@Sordenes090603]

Love Christmas! My theme is "winter wonderland". Lots of different sized trees all over the house, mostly flocked with white lights, main tree is flocked with white, clear, tan/burlap and a dash of silver decorations.

[@chandlerainsley]

oo that sounds pretty!

[@jessicadifelice7849]

I love Christmas! Our living room is a blue/grey colour, so I do blues, whites, silvers and greens. We have a lot of keepsake ornaments from my partner so those do end up on the tree but there is a definite theme 😊

[@islandgirl3615]

I'm a different-theme-every-year kind of gal. I don't necessarily buy all new stuff every year, though. I have my ornaments sorted by color so I can recycle those to go with whatever theme I'm doing that year. I also cycle through the themes. Last year it was monochromatic white, but I also do a candy shop theme, Santa's workshop/bright colors, and a few others. This year I'm using red, green, and gold plaid for a vintage theme. I'm going to soak up Halloween and Thanksgiving, but I can't deny I'm SO EXCITED for Christmas!

[@cupcakesanddancing]

I rly like the christmas aesthetic ! we didn’t put up a tree last year bc after almost a year of covid we weren’t rly feeling the holiday spirit but this year I’m hyped. I like to pack my house w Christmas lights and turn off all other lights except those 🙏

[@chandlerainsley]

yes they make everything so cozy

[@inmyreadingera]

i bought christmas pillows the other day and now it’s a challenge for me to hold back from decorating for christmas already i’m so excited for it already

[@unknown-feather]

I love your videos, so glad you posted, the reading vlogs are my favorite

[@moodyfloral6234]

I’m also already super excited for Christmas! I have a white tree and I decorate in soft neutrals (gray, rosé, beige) and with woodsy stuff. My Christmas decor matches my home’s color scheme so I don’t change it up each year, but like you I add a little bit of new stuff every year. I’m looking forward to your tree decorating video, the cluster method sounds like I need to try it.

[@chandlerainsley]

hah seems like we like similar christmas vibes

[@sixofpages]

i’ve been sick in bed with covid these past few days so i’ve been taking advantage of my new kindle and reading a bunch of KU romances. definitely gonna add these to my list!

[@chandlerainsley]

ugh that sucks! hope you feel better soon

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@LindsNW05]

We have a 3ft tree in our house, that we put on the bar because the cats like to mess with the bigger tree. Anytime my husband and I got a bigger tree it just got ruined, so we decided a mini tree is our best bet. I love Christmas, but I hate doing all the work of decorating, so I just put out a few things and our tree. We go to my parents house every year anyways and my mom goes ALL out.

[@abookishmess]

I'm a theme person, this year theme is AVATAR THE LAST AIR BENDER and my siblings are super excited about it. I love color coordinating presents instead of reading tags lol and the tree is going to be all white 🤤😍😍😍😍

[@annajo6576]

this is so cute! please tell me you have at least 4 siblings so they can be all the elements!!

[@chandlerainsley]

i LOVE that!

[@abookishmess]

@@annajo6576 I do! Plus I'm getting stuffed appas that I found on Etsy 😍😍 they're going to be juiced

[@IntentionallyBookish]

So hyped for Christmas! And this video - your videos always get me in the reading mood 🥰

[@chandlerainsley]

ah thanks Spencer!

[@angeliatayslife]

I can not wait to get through twisted Love so I can get to Twisted Games. I had a plaid tree for a couple years and a candy cane tree theme not sure what I will be doing this year. 😅

[@winraw6113]

The plaid and thumbnail are everything 💖

[@micaellyalves3367]

We have At Home in PA. I don't read that much Romance but love your vlogs so much, so I watch them anyway hahah

[@kendall09]

Just finished my first block of med school and have had a little bit of trouble getting back into reading. This is exactly what the doctor ordered… well-1/16 of a doctor ;)

[@chandlerainsley]

ah that is so exciting!!!

[@Lana-di5ze]

I always use old ornaments with new but my sister and I buy new ornaments color (theme) every year so we switch ornaments each year and thats how we save money haha Also we always have real tree,with cat and 2 dogs 🥴 Great vlog ❤️

[@chandlerainsley]

wow that is impressive! i've never attempted a real tree because i have a real good feeling my pets would drink the water lol. i also never had a real one growing up so tbh i'd be a total novice. always a little jealous of ppl with real trees, i bet it smells so nice

[@jamiereads3]

If I wasn’t already here for the fab book content, I would absolutely be here for the fab floofs 🐈‍⬛🖤

[@kimreese3530]

I love Christmas! I collect ornaments, but they’re all white or mostly white. I’ve got hundreds of ornaments so I only allow myself one new Christmas decoration a year.

[@adriennebisset3423]

If you’re in the Christmas mood are you going to finish the third book of the pact series? The Romantic Pact by Meghan Quinn. The plot is pretty great for a seasonal read!

[@MabellOVES1D]

Had a crappy day so loved the Christmas vibes today! Exactly what was needed. And it is never too early!

[@Kmob795]

That cat montage gave me life

[@savannahlueras109]

I’m glad someone else is ready and excited for Christmas!

[@gingersnappedreads]

YESSS XMAS CONTENT my tree is a light blue gold white theme we are slowly collecting things but last year it really came together 🎄

[@chandlerainsley]

haha giving very much MICHIGAN jk jk that sounds really pretty

[@gingersnappedreads]

@@chandlerainsley omgg LOL I didn’t even think about that 🤣🤭💙💛

[@christybaldwin8666]

I was so pleasantly surprised with The Relationship Pact!

[@starlahenjoys]

im a HUGE christmas person! i love fat trees with more sentimental decor and memories!

[@joellem625]

Trilina Pucci is so underrated her books are actually really good! I do see how “just like haven” might not be as deep as “vicious little snakes” was but that was also book two so longer time with some characters, and at the same time I knew it was going to be Romeo and Juliet inspired, so it had to be this intense love that happened over the course few months and led to this huge tragedy. Plus knowing it was a duet I think she’s gonna explore and go way deeper in book two for sure. Also people who complain it was little immature, the main characters were 18 and 19 I believe what did you expect lol I actually hate when authors write teens and they sound and do things like they are 30. So I agree it was very age appropriate finally someone who writes about characters in high school and gives them appropriate dialogue and actions.

[@hannahbowers3684]

I’ve read a lot of Adrianne Lockes books, Larissa’s cousins have their own books (The Mason Family Series) and I love those books, but I could never finished the Landry series (you meet Lincoln Landry and his wife in The Relationship Pact) because it felt like the heroes got repetitive, but I think Hollis was a great change up from her typical heroes, would you consider reading any of her other books/series?

[@chandlerainsley]

yes! i just checked out the one for larissa's bestie, i think it's Masons #2

[@hannahbowers3684]

Reputation?? That was one of my favorites, I can’t wait for your thoughts!!!

[@malorieshald5307]

Just found your channel! Love how fast you talk 😂 really stimulates my ADHD haha.

[@GracewithBooks]

okay so excited to pick up the new Ana Huang now ✨ I've started my search for holiday romcom's, i love a good Christmas story but to this Jew's surprise, there's an actual Hanukah themed romance out this year called The Matzah Ball by Jean Meltzer 😂 Kinda curious to see how it'll go

[@chandlerainsley]

i have that one on hold from my library! excited about it

[@angeliatayslife]

I read Like You Love Me by Adriana Locke and this summer and it made me want to definitely read more by her!

[@toribrookss]

not you getting me (even more) excited for Christmas; i love it so much!! I'm still tryna savour spooky szn but once that clock goes from 11:59pm on Halloween to 12AM on Nov 1st I'm too ready (though i try to hold out til after Nov 11th [remembrance day in Canada] - it's like I'm edging myself but with Christmas..how sacrilege🤣)! we get a real tree so it doesn't go up til Dec 1 (no theme, just vibes lmao) but we start decorating the house around US thanksgiving time!

[@chandlerainsley]

ah a real tree! that sounds so nice and i bet it smells amazing

[@sierramccutchen3531]

you always have such awesome steamy romance recommendations. this is why I subbed! time to get some reading done. :)

[@ByMadisonFox]

It was so hard to get Xmas decor last year WE MUST start even earlier this year

[@ByMadisonFox]

Also the fact that i know the exact kind of Xbox man office scent you described

[@jessicaann6140]

I have a flocked Christmas tree; which my cats love to eat 🤦🏻‍♀️. I don't put anything on it but lights because of them, but I like the look of my flocked tree without anything on it. I am from Michigan and we have At home and it is my favorite!

[@Jesse.Walkinshaw]

that Keith sweater though!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to re watch OTH.......

[@chandlerainsley]

fall is the perfect time for an OTH rewatch

[@szarlottaszott]

Somehow we always end up enjoying similar books! You are truly my go-to KZbinr :) If you ever look for an inspiration for another read and haven’t heard about The Love Act by Zara Bell you should give it a try. It’s a debut by indie author and it’s the best celebrity romance I’ve read in a long time!

[@Neverrgreen]

I'm the type of Christmas person that bought a string of lights today for my new bookcase and put it up. (My other bookcases don't have lights for reasons). I normally waot until the first snow after Halloween to put up the tree but have been wanting to put it up now for like a week....

[@chandlerainsley]

first snow? now i'm jealous

[@Neverrgreen]

@@chandlerainsley you spotted the Canadian!

[@ruffoloreads]

We have at home in Pittsburgh! Love it!

[@emilyfellows3341]

This is kinda off topic, but do you use an e-reader? And if so, what one? I’m thinking of buying one but don’t know where to start. Love all your content 💜

[@chandlerainsley]

thanks so much! i currently use a kindle oasis but i recommend the paperwhite. it's cheaper and functionally identical imo! i haven't done much research into non-amazon e-readers tho so there are probably other great options out there too

[@pandareads]

adds The Relationship Pact to tbr and kindle!

[@chandlerainsley]

i hope you like it!

[@fa3ryg1rl1]

I'm excited for Christmas too! I'm in the northeast and we have At Home. I have a white flocked tree and I got some of the same ornaments you did! Going for the same white feel, white lights, woodland theme. I got some white animals too like a fox and a polar bear. I got the smaller versions of the twig ornaments and some that look like white knitted sweater ornaments. I'm going to DM you on IG with the ones I picked, hope that's okay! I do change my tree decor sometimes, and sometimes I reuse stuff. Last year I did plaids and gingerbread men.

[@chandlerainsley]

i'd love that :)

[@eliananoei652]

I am on a hunt for some extremely steamy romance books... just hoping to get some recommendations in this video...

[@chandlerainsley]

if you're looking for really steamy i think Twisted Games would work! Just Like Heaven is pretty raunchy too... tbh all of these are hot haha

[@eliananoei652]

@@chandlerainsley Thank you. I took a hiatus from steamy romances but I am back and ready... lol

[@jaginaiaelectrizs6341]

So, usually when I'm watching something and I have a cat sitting with me they just curl up and ignore whatever I'm watching... but today, the cat on my lap seemed pretty fascinated by watching you too.🤭 He was mostly disinterested in your floofs though; except when I said that you had three, and he looked at me like "I only saw two" like he didn't believe me at all, except right after that you showed all three in a row and I swear my cat was counting them. 🤣🤣

can The Relationship Pact be read standalone, or should I read the whole series?

standalone! the hero is friends with the guys in the other books but you can read it with zero context. i didn't read the second book and wasn't lost!
