[@alexnisipeanu5028]

lol christine i remember years back, you and a bunch of other booktubers (i think it was booksplosion when ariel was still part of the group) challenged yourselves not to say "i'm excited" for whenever you talk about a book, but i've noticed you say "i'm pumped" a lot as a replacement. it's not something bad, but i always remember that challenge whenever you say the phrase

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

BAHA I THINK ABOUT THAT ALL THE TIME WHEN I'M EDITING MYSELF SAYING EXCITED XD

[@luisadelatorre5960]

the envy ENVYYYYY of having most of the books you want to read this year already in your collection! The struggle of loving a lot of these books and living abroad where the shipping is insane is real.

[@kkmmrew]

books i want to read in 2021: Rule of Wolves, Chain of iron, a court of silver flames, LORE, a curse so dark and lonely. i Could go on forever! i want to read all the books while simultaneously taking my practicum and graduating university...let's see how many books i actually manage to get to. fingers crossed that i keep my sanity.

[@SidneyIsabel]

I've finally jumped onto the Hunger Games train (currently halfway through Catching Fire) and you've got me so excited to read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. I'm intrigued !!!

[@RACLuke]

VE Schwab is my favorite author I’m so happy you read Addie!! Conjuring of Light will blow your socks off, it’s one of the best finales to a trilogy I’ve read.

[@josiplabas9549]

Yes. But A Gathering of shadows is soo good, its like Catching fire of the trilogy. Just blew me away. And Conjuring just made me feel all the feels.

[@karlyepinto6869]

Christine I just finished your book!! It was so good !! First, I was listening to the audiobook version- I listened to 6/12 hours, and it got so suspenseful that I was like “ screw this I need this book in front of me right now” so I sped to the bookstore and picked up a physical copy. It was so delightful and I can’t wait for your next one !!! Xoxo

[@dianechaniewski293]

I just finished "Clockwork Angel" last week, so I want to read "Clockwork Prince" and "Clockwork Princess". It's my first dive in Cassandra Clare--your videos were the inspiration to finally get into them. I REALLY enjoyed "Clockwork Angel". ^_^

[@briannakelly4771]

Omg enjoy!! I’m also reading all of Cassandra Clare’s books for the first time and I’m currently on the Dark Artifices series:)

Chain of Iron ACOSF The Crown of Gilded Bones Soulmate Equation the rest of JLA’s books Also, Christine!!! You NEED to read From Blood & Ash!!! 😭 the audiobooks are amazing as well!!

[@LouisaWordsIWriteCrazy]

I believe I read (in Stat of Sanderson 2019, though I could be wrong) that when he sat down to write Starsight and plotted out the series, he realized that it was 4 books, 1 stand alone and then a trilogy. So book 3 is probably going to be closer to Starsight, than Starsight was to Skyward. So excited for book 3!

[@emmyrodriguez5427]

IM SO EXCITED ABOUT ANYWAY THE WIND BLOWS

[@umnia4316]

A lil tip, read Felix ever after during Pride month! It takes place in June in the book too and ends with a really sweet scene at nyc pride ❤️ It’s a perfect summer read!!

[@morganjones2744]

Doesn't need to have a notebook or Google reads out cuz i have heard of all of these books, and those that I want to read are already on my TBR. Haha. Great vid!!! Also, so thrilled for the last Hours book two also!!!

[@LeahRummel]

My top 5 are probably 1. Invisible life of addie larue 2. Way of Kings 3. Beach read 4. Big Magic 5. BETTER TOGETHER!! :)

[@charleymurphy8320]

Ahhh! So excited for this year! So far I ahev read Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Landline! Im hoping to read The Mortal Instruments Series, The Lunar Chronicles Series, The DaVinci Code, the two new Karen McManus books and the book im most pumped for is BETTER TOGETHER!!!!!

[@weirdo.girl2018]

I WAS JUST LOOKING UP INFORMATION ABOUT THE SKYWARD SERIE. Like right before i started watching this. And when she started to say “the last book...” i knew this is what she would say!! It will be a quayrilagy!! And I’m so excited.

[@orladocherty6087]

My tbr is absolutely enormous right now, but I am watching this anyway! My poor bookshelf hates me

[@bookandanimelover4life582]

A darker shade of magic is excellent I read the first book January 2020 and I haven't read the others yet but I knew from that one book that Victoria is an amazing author. I'm also excited for the A Vow so Bold and Deadly I love how the author created an entire world from writing a fairytale retelling.

[@emilycoxon5226]

Some new releases I am so excited for this year are A Court Of Silver Flames, Chain Of Iron and Heartstopper Vol.4 😍🥰

[@bethanchalmers912]

The chaos walking movie is finally coming out this year so Im going to reread the books. I know you’ve got a pretty full tbr but it might be fun to read the trilogy or at least knife of never letting go (once you read that it will be pretty hard not to devour the whole thing). You’ll love manchee

[@matteahayn]

I totally agree with the idea of reading books when you feel them! I’ve read 100 books or more the past three years and I never really get reading slumps cause I just read the books I’m excited for.

[@umno6347]

15:29 me automatically thinking you’re referencing the taylor swift song

[@emilygraber3599]

I CANT WAIT FOR BETTER TOGETHER! That’s definitely my most anticipated book of this year! A book that I want to finally read is City of Bones and all the CC novels. The only reason I haven’t yet is because I didn’t have enough money to buy them all and I wanted to read them super back to back but also own them. And I got a job and can buy them now. So I will definitely be reading all the shadow hunter books in 2021

[@queenoflexis]

One Last Stop is one of my most anticipated reads! I've also had A Darker Shade of Magic on my shelf for years so I'm hoping to finally get to it 😂

[@HollyByGollyBooks]

Omg I give you major props for being able to listen to your books once they are finished!!! I can't even watch my youtube videos once they're published, let alone spend hours listening to something that I wrote hahahahaha.

[@Lauren_aida]

You are going to LOVE A Sky Beyond the Storm! It was my #1 of 2020!

[@a.e.joensen1086]

The rest of Sandhya Menon's books are definitely excellent. You're in for a real treat. My personal favorite is "There's Something About Sweetie".

[@marypaigemichey5593]

I REALLY recommend Emma Lord! She released one book last year (Tweet Cute) and it was ADORABLE!! Her second book, You Have a Match, just came out and IM SO EXCITED!!! Her new book was also inspired by the parent trap, so it's super exciting!!! would really recommend

I’m halfway though the ten thousand doors of January and damn this book!! I haven’t read something like this in such a long time

[@tictac4063]

YESYESYES READ SHADES OF MAGIC ITS SO GOOD

[@Sactown15]

Jade City by Fonda Lee is number one on my TBR. Its basically a Asian Godfather with Magical Jade that you can use if you have the right bloodline (they're called green bones). Its also a contemporary fantasy with cars and electronics and everything. I started reading last year but I put it down promising to come back. ITS TIME!

[@annabelleghilks5760]

You NEED to read the ‘From Blood and Ash’ series!!!! It’s amazingggg

[@RedRoza96]

Ok my top 5 are Better Together 😊, A Psalm of Storms and Silence, The Galaxy and the Ground Within, Good Omens, and Blood and Honey

I was like... Yay, first timers yearly TBR all around!

[@mikaylagoertz156]

The Crown of Gilded Bones by Jennifer L Armentrout of course!!! Must read From Blood and Ash!!!!

[@sarahsmith1097]

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Midnight Sun. It took me a month to read while the other books took me a day each. I just didn't click with it sadly. I did make a bunch of notes though making fun of certain lines and chapters, so at least I can laugh when I think about it even if I didn't like it.

[@ashlynnh4611]

If you liked When Dimple Met Rishi, I reccomemd watching Mismatched on Netflix! It's a TV show adaptation of the book, and it is really good!
