[@poojakumaraguru8641]

How do I get it in India?

[@parisasefidgaran9428]

Is it normal that I watch your vlogs several times? They make me so motivated and inspired ✨🤍

[@Sthemingway]

Kudos to your friend who filmed that precious book signing moment btwn you and Holly Ringland. That large, sky blue measuring cup is adorable.

[@christy-anne-jones]

She is an absolute angel 💛 I screenshotted your comment and sent it to her! 😊💛

[@jordanseifert4640]

I really love your videos! They're so peaceful and calming. I also enjoyed A Year in Tokyo. The illustrations are cute and charming. And the writing is fantastic. It makes a homebody like myself want to go out and see what's out there. Can't wait to see what you'll publish next! Keep calm and read on.

[@minteabee]

Me watching you make a phone call thinking "I really need to figure out how people do this stuff.. I hate phone calls with a passion" ends with you saying I hate phone calls xD Welp.. I feel ya girl.

[@hsoderberg6505]

Me too! I'd rather walk into an office & talk to someone rather than call the office.

[@minteabee]

@@hsoderberg6505 Exactly! You understand me xD

[@lynsey69]

Your book is absolutely gorgeous! Your videos are also incredibly heartwarming and gives peace to the soul. I'm glad you managed to get the pricing issue sorted, I can't imagine how stressful that must have been for you! Thank you for another great vlog!

[@nerd26373]

Your vlogs are straight up mesmerizing. Seems like you have a talent for making these types of videos. More blessings to you all the way.

[@christy-anne-jones]

Awwh thank you!! 💛💛

[@shuwei9420]

A Year in Tokyo is now $37 on Booktopia! And it is so okay, Christy. We are all so proud of youuuu 🥰

[@lemontart8601]

Thank you Christy for making my life positive ❤️❣️

[@MariekeB95]

I just bought your book in paperback! I'm so excited as it's due to arrive on my birthday - a little present for myself. I find you so inspiring and I definitely feel I'll be able to get back into writing too, thanks to you.

[@Msbutterscotch777]

Your videos give us a safe, peaceful space online. Feels like home coming back to your videos! Love your work! Take care 💛

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so incredibly much! 😭💛

[@julievu22]

I fell in love with ur videos 🍓 i love the way you film and edit. I always feel peaceful when watching 🍓🍉❤️💯 thank u so much

[@morgancrosby4190]

Yes Libby!!! Can't say it enough I love that app so very much!!

[@koritsi2142]

I just looked up A Year in Tokyo on the German Amazon page, and it is priced at €37.70, which would be over 58 AUD.. in case you were curious about the price in Europe!

[@aliciaxhalseymanic6783]

Right now I'm reading I fell in love with hope.The author is Lancali. And in the book she's telling about her life and how she met her friends in the hospital. Its a sad story but beautiful written. I just started reading this book and I'm already in love with these pages.

[@everausten]

This is so lovely and enjoyable to watch. I feel so calm and collected 💛🌙🌟

[@alexandrasieh1397]

I've just recently found your channel, and I love your content!!! They're such a pleasure to watch, and I feel motivated (as a newly-freelance writer) each and every time. Also, you mentioned (in this or a different video - I've seen a few in a row at this point lol) Libby - such a great app! I live in Turkey, but the app allows me to borrow from the library nearest to my parents' home back in the U.S. Incredibly useful, especially in a place where not a lot of books are in English. Anyway, thank you for your content. I'm definitely going to be trying to see about getting a copy of your book!

[@life_of_a_renegade]

I am so happy that you're happy!!!

[@CozyWithRaven]

I genuinely loved this entire vlog 🖤🖤🖤

[@ericakang]

I understand what you mean by having trouble stopping. I am a psychological assistant and most of my work is at home writing reports so I realized that stopping can be difficult. I have noticed that what works for me is scheduling breaks usually about an hour after I’ve been writing. But if I have good momentum then I won’t stop until my body sends signals that I’m tired 😴 hehe~we must take advantage of those moments! Also, when you are in Japan I don’t know if you will have time but if you do I think you will like the countryside of Korea. Thanks for sharing this video. I have watched it during my breaks today.

[@divinera_]

I love your vlogs so much. I literally watch them over the course of a few days so they last longer 😂

[@honeytearays]

I just curled up with my mug of tea to watch your video when I realized we were wearing the same moomin shirt! Lovely video as usual and congrats again on your book :)

[@mochi1149]

Love your videos 🥰 they make me feel so calm and relaxed 😌

[@marianalpsi]

Thank you, Christy! I love a week in my life 🥰

I love the vibes of your videos! They're always so cozy and comforting 💛 it's also nice to know that life can get chaotic for other people too 😜

[@GeorginaNZ011]

I just love everything you create and thoroughly enjoyed this video! Your cheerfulness and enthusiasm always inspires me 🙂

[@LeannGrabski]

Ordered my copy of your book today, can't wait for it to arrive!

[@simob7862]

I really appreciate you videos it’s like the best thing about writing and doing your own thing quirky ordered disorder I spend the entire weekend on university assessment and course projects that never seem to end 😅

[@ISOShakespeare]

Congratulations on the launch of your paperback. I bought the digital version from your website when it first came out. I was wishing there was a paperback version then. I love your artwork. Thanks for introducing me to Artic Monkeys! Their new album has 80s vibe which I really enjoy!

[@jenvcampbell]

Such a beautifully filmed video, as always! xx

[@christy-anne-jones]

Thank you so much, Jen!! I should mention I ordered 'The Girl Aquarium' a couple months ago and LOVED it. The imagery was particularly stunning, and you are so talented 💛😭

[@craftyreads]

Congrats on your paperback releasing!! I love watching Matilda, I used to watch it so often when I was younger!

[@cookies_and_books]

Thanks for the video 😊

[@JordankaSotirov]

Dear Christy, I'm so excited when I see that you posted a new video! Congratulation on your paperback!!! I wish you a lot of success with it! The vlog was very cozy and aesthetic! Thank you for sharing it! I wish you a nice Halloween! Hugs from Germany

[@adithonger7838]

We r still sunday evening out here. Anywy just love ur videos n can't help skipping it. So inspiring and lively.

[@ReadingNymph]

Glad you managed to get the pricing sorted that seemed like a bit of a headache to deal with. Beautiful cosy vlog as always 💖

[@lostinthesupermarket7]

Oh my goodness your Moomin shirt is absolutely amazing, I love it so much!! Loved the video too, thank you as always :'))

[@AdrianasWonderland]

i cannot wait to nuy your book 🥰🥰

[@rosemderosems]

The legendary house was a video and again your beauty is enchanted and tells everything🖤

[@christy-anne-jones]

💛💛💛

[@minaharker7256]

Congrats on the release of your new book! ^_^

[@stevenpapageorge]

Great videos !!!

[@taylahslibrary]

so awesome you got to meet holly ringland! the lost flowers of alice hart is one of my favourite books of all time, i can’t wait to read the seven skins!!

[@drawrobot]

I live in the states. It sounded like the core cost on your book in color should be around $15 or something like that for a color paperback if it was done by this printer I was going to use. Typically these books are ran on a high speed (copier) machine. I toured the Xerox company in Rochester, NY. It’s done all on one massive machine that spits out a finished paperback book. The actual cost is fractions of a penny per impression. The rest is markup for the shop. Print Ninja is what I was thinking of using but they’re not print on demand.

[@carolinaao3075]

I’m a huge Arctic Monkeys fan. And i absolutely love every album they’ve comes up with. The first ones are so cool and fast, lots of guitars and drums. Love it. But i found myself listening to suck it and see, tbh&c and The car the most lately. Anyways wheat i mean is i like the new albums so much as well. I will see them live next month again. I love your vlogs Christy, your such a warm cosy person. Hope to get your book in my hands fast.

[@PristineWhens]

I absolutely LOVE that Turquoise-sy fountain pen you have! Where’d you get it? 👀💙

[@watchmanonthewall77744]

Could you do a video on details about self publishing or direct me to where you may have this already available. Thank You.

[@RAHowes]

I have a similar problem with my self pub book. I think some of the larger online stores pull from the US pricing and that is what makes them so horrendous. Honesty, If you find a solution, let me know so I can fix my book too. Congrats on the release.

[@binodpandey5182]

Christy it's fairly priced on Amazon..u don't have to reduce the price

[@Marghe-san04]

Hi Christy!! First of all, I love your videos a lot, they're such heartwarming for me. Anyways, if you like Neil Gaiman I absolutly recommend you Stardust! It's a fantasy and it's so beutiful. Take care and thank you

[@kuggsbuggs]

I love your bobble cardigan😍 please could you let me know where it’s from?

[@misaandcoart]

I cannot WAIT to get my hands on the paperback! It's going to be amazing! T_T Such a relaxing vlog, I'm watching while I work on graphic design. :3 Update: I ordered it! It says it should arrive November 7. I am so, so very excited. :)

[@ma_niz]

have you tried reaching out to Tokyo bookshops? I feel like ppl love buying guide books while traveling.

[@clarejean3309]

love this video, but I do have a question, Christy! How long did it take to write your book and finished it when you were happy with it? But I do plan to get a year in tokyo at some point, can't wait to read it. Also congratulations with your paperpack!

[@aliciaxhalseymanic6783]

I love your tattoo that's my favorite Harry Potter quote from Severus Snape. Now that I know your a Pottered I even love you more!!

[@Ema_-xw2ph]

Where do you get your paperback book

[@ian.t]

Random note... Blackmores Cod Liver Oil capsules are brilliant for maintaining Vitamin D.

[@gypsynobles]

Can you do a video on how you self-published?

[@lindsaysculinaryconquests]

Is it better to publish traditionally or self publish???

[@bwee1207]

Didn't know you watch House of the Dragon! That last episode was heartbreaking. Luke and Arrax.. 😭 Also, what's your favorite from Midnights?

[@MaryAmongStories]

🧡🍂

[@laurapensar4257]

Are the retailers with the higher prices offering “free shipping?” In order for smaller businesses to compete they are often compelled to incorporate their shipping costs into their listed prices. And shipping has become incredibly costly.

[@LauZalve]

I really cannot wait to read A Year in Tokyo! :) I love all about japan, even I have a akita inu dog 🐕that is called Yomu, that means "reading" in japanese hahah I'm crazy? I have no proves but neither doubts :P 💙

[@franciscomontecinos7230]

Hi from Chile 🇨🇱

[@lin90210]

wow that's a lot of hair in that hairbrush. My Mum hates me leaving it in there too hehe

[@kaniksingh]

Hi, Greetings from India! 🇮🇳 I have been watching your stuff & it's great to see your journey. Also, would love to grab a copy of your book in India. Just curious, will it be released here & do you have any plans for a trip to India? 😀

[@elaine5653]

Can I buy your book in Kyoto?😂 And I really love your videos very much ❤

[@adriennsasvari4805]

When I heard you say "Adrian" I actually wasn't looking at the screen and thought: could it be me??! My name is pronounced the same way 😅🙃

[@ooh29]

Christy Anne Jones! Can’t help loving you, you’re such a baby😅😍

[@anna-matilda]

This might seem weird but you have such a sweet friendly face☺
