The Dialogue Test Challenge!

[@lorbito155]

I feel like we're watching Allen go through the five stages of grief every challenge video

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahaha accurate

[@thecontradictorian2225]

More like the nine circles of hell :D

[@PhilipChaseTheBestofFantasy]

You should have heard me screaming “Rake!” repeatedly at my screen when you were doing the GotM question! I’m sorry for my inadvertent part in this, but I do hope we’ll get to see some video of the hair!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahaha it was great fun! And after having read TCG, I would definitely have known it was Rake but I filmed this last month, when I'd been on a break form Malazan for 2 months!

[@sampasslow-thomas945]

I thought you would know ACOTAR inside out considering how long you took to read it and how much pleasure you got out of mock quoting it! 😛😛😛😛😛

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

I really should have. But all of her characters sound the same! You suck, SJM!

[@IfThisWasANovel]

When you win a challenge one of your ne’er-do-well friends should have to do one of your punishments for you

[@TheBookishMom]

I love it when Christina makes an appearance on the channel! I relate to the shoe thing though lol I mean, I have shoes FOR the house that don't get worn outside LOL I am sad no one wanted you to read the HV book... that will be my punishment vote next time you need suggestions LOL NO, I Was totally yelling ALTAN at the screen for that one lol I am VERY excited to see your hair!

[@MsLaurenElizabeth22]

When you win a challenge, you can take a trip to the bookstore. ☺️

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

ONE DAY I WILL BE VICTORIOUS

[@aysseralwan]

35:00-35:06 that's exactly why we watch this video 😂

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahahaha

[@jakebishop7822]

I just want to say that the fact that Falcio could have tried to kill 3 people he was protecting for a while is hilarious

[@sjthorn]

Love to see Christina and someone else who also cannot pronounce names! I also cannot pronounce their names, even when I've read the books lol. Also, I agree with the shoes thing.

[@storieswithc]

This was HILARIOUS!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahaha thank you!

[@nikosbookreviews]

Okay so I recently bought those dinosaur books lmao. Had never heard of them (and ratings seem bad) but come on, Knights riding Dinosaurs? I'm sold lol. Oh and I would recommend Rhapsody by Elizabeth Hayden as a punishment, but I think you might actually go insane.

[@AsfandyarSheikh]

Haha, very entertaining video. I really like the concept. Looking forward to see some videos with the new hairstyle :)

[@StephenAryan44]

Only partway through......already laughing. Such hubris!! 😂😂😂

[@JessieMaeBooks]

This was just wonderful. I very much look forward to your hair routine!

[@katrinawright4918]

Thank you for doing this! It was tons of fun and I always love videos where Christina guest stars! One day.... ONE DAY... you will win a challenge.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahaha one day lol

[@CharMeezy21]

For the record: Allen did agree to ACOTAR and we have proof lol Also for the record, I only gave you Senlin, Jade City and Mistborn questions. I take no responsibility for the others 😂

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Yeah, I popped the proof up there at the end lol

[@CharMeezy21]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria thank you Allen! I think what we can all learn from this is Bancroft passes the dialogue test! 😃

[@stephaniesbookverse1098]

Bees or no bees 😂 I love it! Maybe we can volunteer to put our names in the jug and draw one for each challenge, and if you win, that person gets you a book off your wishlist, and if you lose, that person gets to choose your punishment. Or, if you win, you get to pick a punishment for that person.

[@doomslug6449]

Aw I was hoping you'd get the 'read From Blood and Ash' one 😅😂😂

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahah it remains there for future punishments

[@jakebishop7822]

Well Allen what you get from this is the knowledge that you entertained us

[@Johanna_reads]

You did so much better at this than I would have, and you have a great memory for detail! The Gardens of the Moon quote is on page 487 of my edition. My mistake adding Caladan Brood as an option! I guess he's mentioned but not present. Very impressed that you got the Memories of Ice quote! That dialogue was from one of those "moody and mopey" characters to the other! I take responsibility for asking Abby and Vish for the ACOTAR questions, but I thought those would be super fun and easy for you! 🤣

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahha it was a lot of fun

[@SeekingStories]

Literally at the beginning of this video I'm like, "Where's Allen’s reward if he WINS?!?!" It's gotta be something better than the satisfaction of knowing that we were all thoroughly amused, haha!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahaha it's all in good fun. The reward is the continuation of my hubris!!

[@full-timehuman]

Your challenge videos are always so funny!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Thanks!

[@AbbySalter]

Hehehe!! I was so proud of that Poppy War quote Love that it’s all called the Pitcher of Punishments

[@AbbySalter]

Thank you for the apology

[@bparsons1987]

Rakes talking to Paran. Right after the hounds

[@bparsons1987]

Also, here’s to marrying up!!

[@chloeahey]

Please do it again

[@cipriansirbu3699]

I'm with you on this one,you shouldn't do the punishment.This challenge was unfair and a lot more difficult than the last one. How to remember a quote from 1000+ pages book(Memories of Ice). P.S. Those Malazan quotes OMG,can't wait to read the series.

[@Loganva]

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen 😂

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahahha thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@QuestLegacy]

Dude this is seriously a blast. Looking forward to this hair routine thing -- I was hoping for Midnight Sun. I need that in my life

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

hahhaha the Pitcher O' Punishments remains and I will always take on challenges.

[@JoanaSousaReads]

Allen this video was everything! Christina is so funny when she picks LOTR xD i loved this! i laughed and i had a great time

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahaha I'm glad you liked it!

[@elsetexter7904]

This is hilarious

[@mandys1379]

Just starting this video but I really hope there’s some acotar quote or quotes so we can see your reaction!!

[@jordanreadsalot]

loving this!!!!!! it's a shame reading ACOMAF wasn't one of the punishments

[@RedReadWine]

These are my fav videos 😂😂 not that I wish suffering on you 💚 at least you don’t have to read anything ridiculous this time!

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Booktube needs more hubris. Time for more Sarah J Maas reading. I like the negotiations for the level of punishment at the end. I, too, am siding that we can throw those 3 out.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

hahahhahaha, nothing like some good old-fashioned hubris

[@Patricia-mm2mr]

Ok I got that poppy war one wrong too and got mad HAHAHAHAH

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

I THOUGHT IT WAS JIANG

[@farhad_s]

Reading the books, it's always so obvious which one's Colon and which one's Nobby. I'm starting to realise it's trickier than I thought.

[@sarahbarden4135]

I DON'T CARE ABOUT ACOTAR😆. I thought you might shake a fist while saying that. You still did pretty well! At least you don't have to read Midnight Sun. I enjoyed watching this video. You should do them more often. And I agree if you win your torturers should have a punishment.

[@melissajeaninexx]

Before I watch I must say: Over confident Allen is possibly my favorite Allen. Here's to hoping you lose spectacularly, friend! (;

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahahahah

[@melissajeaninexx]

I also would be willing to wager you’d like FoV. And I’d be very confident in saying you’d definitely like it more than RoD. Midnight Sun is the worst punishment TBH. I actually wanted to read it and I still didn’t want to read it lol. Sooooo long. Lastly, shoes in the house is the mark of a true psychopath. I’m married to one also.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

We as humans moved to cities from the countryside for the sole purpose of wearing shoes in the house.

[@melissajeaninexx]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria You just made that up.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

@@melissajeaninexx it's fact

[@TheNerdyNarrative]

I’ll see who I can find to write me some questions and punishments. Can’t have you suffering alone 😘

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

I'll do some!

[@Johanna_reads]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria You're on the record!

[@Johanna_reads]

I am on board to help! I just need those who've read Dresden!

[@emilyreads5207]

Anne of Green Gables is beautiful!

[@NamasteBbooktube]

The game of bees or no-bees seems to be about the human condition. Even if we give our best, even if we try with every last drop of our blood and until all we drop dead, all we can ever hope to achieve is a box full of nothing. And if we lose, which we probably will, we get stung by killer bees, which will only worsen our unbearable pain and prolong this curse called life.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Word

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

New punishment Allen must read Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Nooooooooooo

[@AndrewsWizardlyReads]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria bwahahhahah cough cough....

[@christeascozycorner]

every time i see christina my mind automatically goes "SHE'S SO PRETTY!!!!!!!" OMG FIRST YOU INSULT MY DAUGHTER VIN, AND NOW YOU GOTTA DO MY SON ELEND DIRTY LIKE THIS TOO?! BOOOOOOO i hope you have to read acomaf eventually anyway!!! 😂😂😂 (this was a really fun video) another punishment: allen has to read nevernight!!!

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Ugh barf. I'll put it in the Pitcher for next time

[@KFoxtheGreat]

"I hate you Altan and your stupid Speerly face" xD I look forward to seeing your new 'do

Hahahaha I do. I hate him so much.

Your No Bees is bragging rights :)

🤣🤣🤣

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

A suggestion for thr Pitcher of Punishment: READ CRIME AND PUNISHMENT! :D You may find yourself becoming a glutton for punishment 😈

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

Also, I appreciate all the Mulan on this channel. She is the best Disney princess no contest.

[@ChristyLuisDostoevskyinSpace]

Were you hoarse after this video? Lol so much shouting

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahahah I'm almost never hoarse because of how often I shout, except the first week back at school after the summer because I'm out of practice lol

[@alexnieves]

To be fair, if this was supposed to be characters from books you love then the ACOTAR questions were largely bullshit.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahhaaha we did find out that I agreed to ACOTAR questions prior...I had just forgotten

[@alexnieves]

@@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Oh, then you deserve this.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SeekingStories]

Also, did you do any color grading in this video? Something looks slightly different (in a good way!), but maybe it's just my computer screen? Anyway, those are the types of things a video nerd like me things of, lol.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

Hahahah I did not. Color grading is beyond my comprehension. The new look is entirely coincidental lol

[@EhsJaySaunders]

Hoisted by your own ACOTARd...or something.

[@TheLibraryofAllenxandria]

🤣🤣🤣

How the hell did you get the bees in the case??

Your wife is an angel, seriously. The way you just slowly lose hope and confidence in yourself, I almost feel for ya, but you did it to yourself and it was really hilarious. Sorry I'm not sorry
