Christine: *Pulls out Throne of Glass* The BF: Oh so this is a Game of Thrones ripoff. Me: *Silence intensifies*

[@JulEnglefaris]

Completely wrong! It's Lord of the Rings ripoff JK I love ToG don't @ me

[@blainevanity6]

Omar Sabbagh It’s not though?

[@sherlynibarraordaz7845]

That idea for An Abundance Of Katherine's is honestly genius

[@filipab0oks]

Yes ! I laughed so much xD

[@ella_melchionna]

It’s like Clue, but they’re all Katherine

[@orasolomons]

I swear the plot that's guessed is always a legit book I would read.

[@jeprecisionlogistics7357]

Good

[@jeprecisionlogistics7357]

I mean same idk why I put good

[@tarabissonnette1555]

You must be new

[@summerrose9981]

'''HELOOOOOOOOO, I'M CHRISTINE!'' '*as quietly as possible* ''I'm John''

[@paradiseaflame]

“Big sewer pipe of turtles and when people look down and see all these turtles they go uh oh” omfg I died 😂😂😂👌🏻comedy gold

[@xreadingsolacex]

“snape” “draco” “and harry” “snape” “please snape” “no snape” THAT SENT ME ALDLELSLSLLD

[@sydneya4491]

X-tine: It's a science-fiction version of the world we live in so where do you think it takes place? Juan: Atlanta I died

[@facelytavarez2021]

Sydney A me too 😂

[@tori6105]

a challenge where john creates a prompt and christine has to quickly write a short because these ideas were 👏

[@DrinkingByMyShelf]

Tori Right?! I would read every one of these

[@emilym5870]

I laughed out loud when he said “and this is the fourth book”

[@kittycheshire5099]

i mean, it kinda is

[@illyrianshadowhunter4843]

Ok but Juan’s guesses to the book plots are giving me literal writing inspiration

[@eimearcullen8358]

10:55 the repetition of how convinced he is that Baz=Snape has me in tears😂😂😂

[@artgirl3210]

LOL why is John's description of Daughter of Smoke and Bone just the plot of A Series of Unfortunate Events? 😂

[@okelise]

OMG YOU’RE RIGHT

[@xreadingsolacex]

petition for john to write the next set of YA plots and then they’re just sent out to authors to write aldlelslsldl he was so wrong but the stories he came up with were so interesting 12/10 would read

[@tori6105]

every book nerd can relate " ive seen another cover?" *awkwardly* "i have multiple." because yes ive gotten into arguments because i bought the same book multiple times

[@lelem1052]

I may or may not have 8 versions of philsophers stone and over 30 types of the harry Harry Potter books over all

[@ifeogundele671]

Ok did anyone else see that mustache and beard drawn on the throne of glass book

[@amalil2562]

Yes

[@2kn111]

I'm pretty sure Sarah actually did that at a signing

[@kennyreads]

I would totally read his version of An Abundance of Katherines!

[@alexleigh3030]

My favorite of Johns story’s was they both die at the end

[@faithc.1186]

12:47 "this like the least talked-about john green book" "but it has the most amount of katherines" iCONIC

[@TheMelodramaticBookworm]

I love how John looks at Christine to check if he's right every single time XD

[@srenz2802]

You: whips out Six of Crows as the first book Me, who’s favorite series of all time is Six of Crows: *falls over* YESSS!!! You: whips out They Both Die at the End as the second book Me: jeez Christine are u reading my mind these are some of my favorite books!! And this is right after getting hyped for the tv shows for both of these after your last video lol

[@MrLaiioSpain]

his plot for Turtles All The Way Down i’m dying

[@nyx2606]

It's hilarious 😂

[@allieodair]

I WOULD S O READ JOHN'S VERSION OF AN ABUNDANCE OF KATHERINE'S OMG dghsjjhf i loved it

[@silvercyclops8255]

The CACKLE I let out when we pulled out Four: a divergent collection by Veronica Roth

[@carapope8592]

Should have titled it. “ John compares every book to game of thrones “ 🤣❤️

[@AmazingJCCatWithFear]

MORE VIDEO-GAME PLOT GUESSING IT WAS SO COOL

[@angeladavidson2350]

John talking about the flying ferris wheel on Four 😂😂😂

[@summerrose9981]

Aww poor John, he has no idea LOL 😂

[@victorialovess]

i cackled when he started talking about the turtles😂😂😂

[@summerrose9981]

I feel bad, but I DO judge books by their covers...I can't help it! 😂😂

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

lol we all do it sometimes =)

[@subhakhan1900]

I feel like we got so many creative story ideas from John's misinterpretations 😂

[@allisonhollings6074]

Is this just a test to see how much your boyfriend remembers about the books you talk about? I should try it out. Hahaha

[@nathanielluscombe5277]

Christine: Hopefully you get at least five points! Juan: I was shooting for one. Christine: aHAha (be more confident or I'll have to remove you from my video)

[@MichParker]

I would definitely read the books about the plots he guessed! They sound so freaking good 🙌🏻

[@jadynd.c.8708]

Considering the circumstances he did pretty good 😂

[@edensylvester13]

I don't know what An Abundance of Katherines is about but I really want to read John's version of it

[@elysiatan]

This got me so nostalgic. I want to reread so many of these

[@mt07_cas]

I swear to god i laugh at almost every video you post, but this one takes the cake XD

[@mollan4757]

The cake is a lie xD

[@estherasselin5227]

John is so funny XD And the text you kept adding on the screen was great lol 10/10

[@isabellekratz844]

john's dedication to coming up with these crazy theories based on the covers is very endearing, i really appreciate it

[@orasolomons]

Honestly this is always entertaining to watch

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

=)

[@adrianmora6199]

im obsessed with the abundance of katherine's concept cause it reminds me of clue

[@natlikesthings]

Christine I love the jumpsuit thing you’re wearing!

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

Thank you 😊

[@madisonoctober]

Ok but you have the best hair! Jealous!

[@MovieFanZ89]

Never read any of these books but his plots sound more interesting than the actual plots

[@Ian_Darko]

Okay lowkey though I'd read John's versions of Six of Crows and An Abundance of Katherines lol

[@violvioletvine]

The editing in this video is everything

[@nina-lavinia6210]

I'm in love with this Outlander cover, in my country it's a very different cover :/

[@eemu252]

Definitely the story for four, with the flying Ferris wheel

[@amalil2562]

Good for him for remembering Divergent! YO fault in our stars good job!!!

[@padmelover96]

Christine: "It takes place on mars." Juan: "What are birds doing up there?" Me: Lol!

[@huda9445]

OMG you guys are adorable... I am so proud of him too 😂😂😂

[@emmacourtney13]

omg loved the video game segment there was one summer where i just played portal and portal 2 back to back over and over way too many times

[@herbie8675309]

I love that you added the guessing of the plots for video games too!! I play video games and read so it's the best of both worlds haha

[@cenedra20]

Haven't watched the vid yet, but had to leave a comment to say that I love the word *boyf* so much

[@Kevin-uw3gd]

i really need a book about turtle training for competitions

[@silverforgold]

I also never knew there was a graveyard at the bottom of City of Bones? I think I’m always distracted by Jace lol

[@darkflute7794]

John describing the potential card game in ‘Six of Crows’ is pretty much how most guys brains work - go off on a weird tangent and follow through no matter how weird it sounds 😂

[@eemu252]

Can i just say that i always like the music from ur videos

[@CaitlynAnneReads]

Love that you know flashforward. What a show!

[@whimsicalhufflepuff6775]

This made me so happy because I remembered how great your mom was in her version. I've only read Turtles All The Way Down and The Fault in Our Stars of the ones he guessed, but gosh was I cracking up.

[@lmhr-5803]

👍

[@dovelyy]

the thing Juan says about where the grim reaper hides in the shadows is cool

[@peekabooicancu]

From the title I thought it was them talking about book plots and judging them, rather than making up plots from the cover. Much more interesting vid idea haha I'm glad I clicked!

[@jaswarren6248]

Wow i’ve never been this early! Can’t wait to watch this - I’m sure it’s gonna be amazing

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

lol thanks for being here early =)

[@iDaveStrider]

As a massive book and video game nerd this video made me so happy rofl. Also you two are the cutest together I just. Ugh.

[@bringmethebooks]

this is the kind of video i enjoy sm on booktube

[@wilderbooks8950]

HIS INITIAL FOR SOC HAS ME DYINGGGGG

[@freshmaniac8450]

Is it just me or was there a moustache drawn on Calaena In the Throne of glass cover? 😂

[@rakshyakharel9398]

Yeah Sarah drew that when she signed it

[@freshmaniac8450]

@@rakshyakharel9398 oh, great!

Ooh Christine! Are there gonna be book talks on The Secret Commonwealth? Or Wayward Son? Either way, thank you for making such entertaining videos!!

Abundance of Katherines is everything🖤🖤🖤 please write it

[@TheAsuraeva]

his plots are so much better than the actual plots :d

[@Katek8]

I love videos with Juan ☺️☺️ My favorite was An Abundance of Katherines lmao

[@MadinaMakulbekova]

Namesake? So Christine is literally dating Jace. *goes back to rewatch her video about fictional boyfriends*

[@romalovi98]

Is it just me or did his summary of Daughter of Smoke and Bone sound like a certain person from the Lunar Chronicles.

[@kkay6838]

The card plot at the beginning sounds like a dope anime though

[@tatianablackthorn2528]

Darn it! I haven't read Turtles All The Way Down and wanted to hear you explain the plot. However, whenever I read it my mind is literally going to go in thinking Juan's story.

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

Lol if you're interested I have a whole fifteen minute booktalk about it. I talk about what it's about in the beginning 😊

The font you used throughout this video reminds me of both Gilmore Girls and Twilight.

[@clandycane1771]

Spoilers for The Mortal Instruments LOL at Christine saying talking about Jace as Jace Wayland/Johnathan Christopher cuz he's not a Wayland and he's not Johnathan either

[@anaghasharma7433]

Hey Christine, I voted for your book Again but better in the Goodreads Choice Awards 2019.

Thank you 🖤
