STORIES I ATE THIS MONTH | AUGUST 2018

[@reelyintofilm5189]

Never stop this series. I don't know why but I just live hearing how your month was through the stories you decided to take in!!

[@JanvanEs]

Zoe Jean Louise totally agree with you

[@HyDrOpYrO777]

Agreed.

[@venice5321]

LOTR is my favorite movie of all time. No movie has ever lit my heart and soul on fire like it did.

[@cheyennemarie7075]

I see someone learned her book marketing technique from John Green lol

[@MaryAmongStories]

Coco is SO wonderful! 😍

[@IslamAhmed0904]

"That epic battle at hippopatm-" *palm-smacks forehead*

[@fantasticcandles3038]

I loved To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before! I speed read the book so I could watch it, and it was one of the only books and movie that made me cry.

[@fantasticcandles3038]

Shain Stanley I wish my parents would buy me books!

[@peterDcontact]

How do you speed read?

[@fantasticcandles3038]

peterDcontact by doing nothing until you finish it. Not that I have a social life anyway...

[@xxrayneydayxx]

Episode 7 of Castle Rock is incredibly heartwarming and the most character focused episode. It's also very artfully filmed and incredibly moving, in the context of the show I find!

[@jennifermcilwrath]

All of your LOTR mispronunciations 😂 I was shouting the names at my screen!

[@jaimebarfield]

I'm a hardcore King fan and it still took me a few episodes to fall in love with Castle Rock. I like finding characters that I can get behind and root for. I am attached to "the kid". You find out who he actually is later in the season. I honestly don't care what happens to anyone else in the show as long as he pulls through. Love your "Stories I ate" videos. I get some of my best book and movie recommendations from you! Thanks so much.

[@BrittanytheBibliophile]

I LOVED Coco!! I'm so glad you include movies+TV shows in your wrap ups

[@pattywood586]

I never cry for anything but I cry for Coco every single time. I cried just thinking about Coco while you were reviewing it. Coco=tears.

[@withcindy]

i'm finally gonna start the throne of glass series next month thanks to your suggestion!!

[@jennachristy03]

can't wait for your book! so good that we can "journey" with you with your book. also FUNNY because I also watched Lord of the Rings last week! and the SAME FEELINGS! I haven't seen it for a lot of years, and it's funny how much we understood it MUCH better now than before, also after the Hobbit yeah. :D

[@cfcoaly]

I'm reading the Infernal Devices finallyyy for the first time ever!!! Just finished Clockwork Prince and wow! So good! So heartwrenching! Can't wait to read what happens to Tessa and Will and Jem!

[@erinmariecece]

Eighth Grade was so accurate I cringed and cried the whole time, when she wanted to burn her memory box, I was so emotional. My best friend and I talked about middle school memories the whole way home from the movie, and it made me so empathetic to people in that position now.

[@ReadByJess]

Here’s to hoping we get a sequel movie for To All The Boys I Loved Before

[@pamaugust8579]

Read By Jess I think we’re supposed to! Since the end was a cliff hanger. Let’s hope we do.

[@jerrpie]

Christine you have to watch Timeless!! It's so good and the 2-part finale comes out in December so you have time (hopefully) to catch up on Seasons 1 and 2!

[@ninacbk1836]

You should definitely read the Crazy Rich Asian books! So many amazing and funny moments had to be cut out. But I feel that a lot of what made the book/movie funny for me was the accuracy of crazy Asian behavior that Asians specifically relate to ( I’m Chinese-Filipino btw). It’s also interesting to note that a lot of the characters represent real life rich Asians, and it was super fun trying to decipher who is who. I think that it’s still a great read in order to get a new perspective of a different race :)

[@readbymarta2781]

i love wrap ups the intro sO MUCH IT NEVER GETS OLD

[@amandajoy6363]

I just watched Coco for the first time a few days ago and it was WONDERFUL! So glad you liked it! I also loved Elder Millennial ❣️ Thanks Christine! Love this series 😊❣️

[@gabbydiane98]

I tried audiobooks for the first time this month and I am really liking them!!! I binge-audiobooked the Daughter of the Pirate King duology. They were so much fun!!!!

[@victoriathebookworm7184]

That intro is amazing. Congrats on the book! Definitely gonna buy it!

[@taraclemmit8516]

You should watch one day at a time!!! It’s a wonderful sitcom about a Cuban family

[@anaisoro]

i always patiently wait for your video to drop on tuesdays :D

[@fennecfox9490]

But did you see the extended versions of TLOTR? The extended versions has a lot of beautiful moments that they cut out of the theatrical versions, such as Aragorn healing Eowyn, Arwen rescuing Aragorn, just more beautiful scenes that break up all the fighting.

[@sophie410]

You should read A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS!!!! It is the most powerful, emotional book I’ve ever read. I literally cried all book, and months after reading my heart still hasn’t mended. A beautiful tragic story of women’s suffering in Afghanistan during the war

[@Allymai_]

I hate it when we can’t get shows in the UK. You always convince me to watch a show, but then I just can’t!

[@devonmunn5728]

You can change your region to watch more shows

[@harrypotteravenclaw]

Use a VPN and you can on Netflix!!

[@JanvanEs]

I’m close to finishing THE ATLANTIS CODE by Charles Brokaw #1 in the Thomas Lourds Series ( Well 2 more pages of Epilogue so basically finished) I saw on Goodreads there is a lot more in the THREE DARK CROWNS Series so I might start that series next. As for shows started watching a lot of (for me) new Anime from several years ago. Can’t wait to try and watch “You” and AHS:Apocalypse this month. As for movies I never go to them anymore for many years now. Used to have this card that let me go unlimited times for a small fee a month but if I never went anymore that subscription is useless so I ended that like 10 years ago. I did watch the remake of CARRIE on Netflix after having put my little niece and little nephew to bed after looking after them last Saturday. It made me wonder why we had Scream TV Series and The Exorcist TV Series and not yet a Carrie TV Series. Always love your videos Christine! Kinda surprised KINGDOM OF ASH isn’t an upcoming Monthly Booktalk yet... or maybe for December?

[@bookrelatedgirls]

I was never so early😍😍 Your videos are everytime a highlight❤

[@AllysonKing]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ when you don’t need a notification because you always on KZbin , but also amazing video as usual

[@sydneysbooks]

My favorite story I ate in August was To All the Boys the movie and season 2 of The Good Place!! It was a rougher month for good books, but The Hating Game was probably my favorite read of the month. SO EXCITED FOR YOUR BOOK AS ALWAYS.

[@blainevanity6]

You should watch Sutton Foster’s (Liza Miller in Younger) Tony performance of Anything Goes. She is phenomenal. It’s a tap dance number. I’m sure you are going to LOVE it!!!

[@jerrpie]

Aw, yes I love Anything Goes!! Our high school did a version of it for our yearly musical a few years ago and it was so fun! Also love Sutton Foster!

[@TheBookTuber]

I'M SO GLAD YOU LOVED EIGHTH GRADE!

[@dansuds9785]

The funniest book I read this year, hands down, is "Too Good for the Hood." Wicked, original humor that had me off balance and laughing out loud. The story takes place in Staten Island, New York. D'Agostino Brothers Wrote it.

[@TheSMarie42]

... Helm's Deep. Still loved this video even though your LOTR review made me sad.

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

LOL

[@ceciliafeltner6319]

I was just hoping that you would post a video, it made my day I love your videos Soooo much❤️❤️❤️

[@momoghani3282]

Ok, but where did you get your hat, Christine? I love it.

[@lenalovesrats]

On the one hand, I live for these, they give me all these new cool things to check out....On the other hand I now have more things to distract me from uni work, once again

[@oliviaadele9764]

You should read American Street by Ibi Zoboi! It tackles a wide range of social struggles in America today and is written beautifully!

[@jo22k]

Also omg try reading ADDICTED TO YOU by Krista and Becca Ritchie! It is the first book in the Addicted series and I love that series so much. It has become of my favorites all time. You will become so attached to all the characters and there is so much character development and it will have you in all the feels. 😩😩😭😭😍😍❤️❤️💕

[@meow-lz2gz]

ahh i’m so excited for your book!! it comes out on my birthday hehe best birthday present i could ask for :,)

[@leanathien976]

First of I love your outfit❤️ And I agreed with everything you said about to all the boys I’ve loved before it was such a good movie adoptation!

[@fragrantpages1024]

I've started watching Over the Garden Wall and omg it is SO good!! I also watched Mary and the Witch's Flower on Netflix and that was really well done too! it really felt like a good old Ghibli movie or something

[@kaiawright7760]

Lord of the rings is the best that series is awsome Love your channel so much

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

thank you!

[@tashyjones6761]

My brain might explode after your description of Lord of the Rings. Loved To All The Boys I Loved Before, it was so cute

[@mayareads708]

have you watched Atypical ? I cant remember from your previous video. Highly recommend

[@stella-zr5vh]

This is what I needed today! Thank you!

[@umnia4316]

I just finished binge watching Sharp Objects and omg it was amazing! 10/10 would recommend!!

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

I WANT TO WATCH THAT SO BAD!!

[@iviiiii1384]

I have been looking for the name of your intro song for months now and I can’t seem to find it. Pls someone help

[@Maria-cf1nn]

I love that you chose the German movie poster for Coco😂😂

[@sonjaevans7279]

Hello ! From a new subscriber! And I know this is totally unrelated. But, with Cassandra Clare's new book the Queen of Air and Darkness coming out in December. Have you thought about the Herondale theory? How Emma, Jace, and Kit are all related?

[@fernandagreco4287]

I need the name of the intro song!!!! It's so dang catchy!!

[@kkmmrew]

i know i'm late to the party with this series but 'in the afterlight' by alexandra bracken was MIND BLOWING! i can not thing about anything else, i never want to leave these characters. i'm currently reading the companion 'the darkest legacy' and am LOVING it so much i can't put it down. do you think you'll read it? and if so i would be so happy to hear your thought on it as i loved your booktalks for the other Alexandra bracken books

[@fantasticcandles3038]

Excited for some neeeeew recommendations!

[@jo22k]

Omg I’ve been contemplating watching Lord Of The Rings movies too for a long time. I already watched the first one. Like Lord of the Rings was actually happening while I was growing up but I kind of ignored it a bit. Like I tried when It was happening but I just don’t think we connected then. So I just focused on the Harry Potter and Narnia series. Now that I’m older I’ve been wanting to give it another chance.

[@dustypage2704]

Hey, I just wanted to ask if we can pre-order a signed Again, But Better?

[@morrigandanae]

As a Tolkien geek I burst out laughing at your mispronunciations. 😂😂 (best movies ever!!)

[@camhdz2605]

LOVE the German poster of Coco😂😂😂😂💀💀💀👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fictionallyattached]

i’m sick and this is the perfect medicine

[@mmwedeking]

The Two Towers is the most underrated movie of the trilogy in my opinion. I thought it was better than Fellowship, but the tree scenes I admit might've slowed it down a bit.

[@edensylvester13]

I just watched Coco again yesterday lol it's amazing and restored my faith in Pixar

[@AriPuff23]

FINALLY THE STORIES I ATE THIS MONTH THEME SONG, MY FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE MONTH XTINE

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

[@dustypage2704]

Haha Elsie Fisher is Agnes in Despicable Me!!!

[@oldfield5793]

I really enjoyed 36 Questions which is a podcast musical! The first of it's kind!

[@FaithWangermann]

did you watch the bold type season 2? i watched it because of your video last summer!

[@shelleybrown6532]

How do you manage reading books and watching your shows plus everything in between?? Wanna continue to read but Netflix has kinda taken over my life again n you seem to to both sooooo well

[@taasiat3045]

Christine, have you watched Brooklyn 99? It's so good

[@SoleilCeline]

Eighth Grade was so emotional and so good. I just can’t believe they rated it R, this is what middle schools actually go through and real middle schoolers can’t even go watch it!

[@immortalazure]

Awesome, you make me want to read and watch all the things. Lord of the Rings, so glad you liked it.

[@ingrdalyc]

I dropped my phone in the toilet yestorday and thoght of you, i didn't learn from your mistakes😙😙 Loved the video btw😊

[@ivyandbooks7698]

I loved 8th grade... It is SO SCARY because it is so real... exactly like middle school

[@juliakeeton6953]

I hated 8th grade, maybe because I’m in 9th grade and still in this time of my life. But my whole body was tense the entire movie. I never once relaxed. It was just excruciatingly awkward moment after excruciatingly awkward moment. I actually had to leave the theater several times because I just couldn’t stand it. It was like someone filmed there day and with a little editing made it into a movie. Would you want to watch that? It was just a little too real. I feel like though awkwardness is a big part of being a teenager, there is also a lot more too it. And this movie only captured that one aspect. There was just never any relief moments in this movie where you could relax. I will say the acting was AMAZING. But overall just really didn’t like the movie.

[@herz5159]

I think that's what they were going for

[@БожидараКаличкова]

Moraaathhhhh 😂😂😍😍 can’t wait for the seventh book tho

[@aislingk1536]

What's the name of the song on the intro?

[@aissataamadou]

Yayy! You finally ate coco

[@athenanguyen1290]

There were a lot of Asian cultural jokes in Crazy Rich Asians that I loved!

[@lovelyliterarylydia]

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society was my favorite book of the month. It was so good! If you love character driven stories you should definitely check it out.

[@mrs.darling5865]

I just watched that movie and it was amazing.

[@lovelyliterarylydia]

@@mrs.darling5865 Me too!

[@eelliemiller]

I WATCHED THE CRAZY RICH ASIANS MOVIE AND OMG IT WAS EXCELLENT AND NOW I'M READING THE BOOK AND I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING

[@uselessintherain5852]

Aaaaaaand you just made my day! 💜💜🤸

[@OudayYehya]

definitely gonna check "this is me now" tomorrow!

[@elliedragon6574]

IF YOU HAVENT READ HEARTLESS BY MARISSA MEYER YOU NEED TO!!! ITS MY FAV AND ITS LIKE THE LUNAR CHRONICLES

[@artemiis3727]

I've been watching a show that I think that you might enjoy, it's called Heartland and it's on Netflix.

[@caseyouellette4045]

Where did you get your shirt?!

[@mystic8941]

That's ok I didn't get LOTR either and even to this day I still have no idea what the hell was going on. Again I didn't grow up with it. I did however try to re-read it and I was still confused, and dropped the book and have not checked it out since.

[@arthurbracey9497]

How do you read multiple book in one month

[@tovaportmann]

As much as I want to watch 8th Grade, the trailer made me cringe so much, because of how accurate it was. I think I need more time between 8th grade and me watching that.

[@butterflys2088]

When she mentions tower of dawn 😍

[@msbrownie8248]

I have food poisoning, thanks for the video mate

[@a.n.7338]

Ms Brownie Get well soon!

[@msbrownie8248]

Oh thanks lmao x

[@venice5321]

Christine, Im just gonna pretend you didn't give two towers and Rotk a B- 😂😂😂😂😂

[@adelina5741]

Frodo is the most annoying, whiny character ever. Sam is the real star, without him Frodo would have drowned in his tears or something.

[@trashyaqua6239]

Eh frodo did get frustrating at parts but that was the ring’a effect on him. I think Frodo and Sam are both the main heroes in this story. They both need each other. I found Frodo to be very courageous actually when he takes this burden on himself and deals with it at the council. I could see how you would find his character annoying because some of his choices are very frustrating, but I don't think ”whiny” is a word I would use. I just think your judgement of the character is very unfair.

[@adelina5741]

G-Rant I still find him whiny

[@lessalou9343]

Have you read the books? Cause it’s different... but I see what your talking about though I still love the movies almost as much as the books

[@edensylvester13]

I love Sam

[@adelina5741]

Lessa Lou I’ve tried to read it...I remember being so bored and I stopped. But it was a Dutch translation and Dutch fantasy translations kinda suck. So I’m going to try read them again in English.

[@annaleaozsvath9390]

I'm currently reading the "a darker Shade of magic" series and already in the middle of book 3 and its so good omg. Pls read it and make a book talk about it I want to Fangirl about it with someone🙈😂❤

[@janlfcfan]

Too much Tower of Dawn Christine? Hahahaha! You said Morath :)

[@venice5321]

COCO made me cry

[@joantrish8244]

tower of dawn WOWED me !!

[@SylviaLupien]

What is the music you use for the end? Its so catchy!

[@venice5321]

Still can't get over what they did to Blanca

[@OudayYehya]

Can i get an arc? i preordered but still

[@tarasiegel7510]

You have to watch Sebastian Maniscaulco’s comedy special if you haven’t already! He is an incredible comedian!

[@chaserobbins6189]

Read the dark tower series

[@celinapeters6175]

OMG Christine you called Mordor Morath 😂

[@polandbananasBOOKS]
