[@gothfinch6164]

Your a twitard haha shut it ok

[@cameroncummins1515]

I will NEVER forget seeing Breaking Dawn part 2 in theaters. I had read the book, and most of the people in the theater had, so when Carlisle's head came off, the entire theater gasped. And when it was revealed to be a vision, everyone clapped. It was great.

[@daddyriddicksbabygirl6805]

I remember people crying over the characters before it turned out to be a vision

[@lethalassassin1754]

That would happen for real if they went up against the originals in a fight.

[@treyvodokzeli9496]

It was epic.I think the vision twist is actually good(better than the book where nothing happens)

[@BabyBells231]

My theater lost their *_minds_* screaming

[@karenwood24]

I saw it with my mom. She read all the books and when that scene happened, she was like “This didn’t happened in the book! This didn’t happened in the book!”

[@jessethereader]

ALSO LOVED THAT INTRO SKIT SO GOOD XD

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+jessethereader YAY THANKS JESSETH!! =D

[@morganzabolotney8784]

+polandbananasBOOKS LOVE THIS!!! You are so awesome. BTW: there's another book in the Selection series about America's daughter. Just thought you should know.

[@13gudadod]

I agree

[@alysonserenastone2917]

Me: I'm over Twilight. Stephanie: I'm putting out Midnight Sun Me: starts jumping up and down...There's another Twilight book!

[@alysonserenastone2917]

@Lilli Malfoy Lol. :)

[@flyaway3374]

My 26 years old ass was excited

[@13gudadod]

Hiiii not suprised tô see you here

[@tashapolis]

STEPHENIE MEYER IS FACE GOALS! AND THIS INTERVIEW IS GOALS! Thanks for letting me be apart of this 💜❤💜❤💜

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Tashapolis lol #facegoals // OF COURSE JEEZ, THANK YOU

[@JessBF]

I literally screamed in the theater when Carlisle's head came off. And I am not a person who normally does that sort of thing!

[@natalieelessar]

Flightless bird is definitely perfectly fitting for the twilight books, it holds all the feels for me

[@Andrea-id3pn]

Rewatching this because I'm going through another twilight obsession, and I can't believe I hadn't paid attention to her recommendation of Royal Blood! They remind me of a hybrid of the Black Ghosts and Muse - bless Stephenie's music taste🤌

[@oysterhunter276]

I secretly fancy Carlisle.

[@walnutprophecy4358]

+OysterHunter Carlisle is bae

[@ktjain1999]

YESSS

[@kmogg567]

Hahaha I'm laughing but same

[@oysterhunter276]

kmogg567 he's fit

[@cindermouse2408]

I openly fancy Carlisle.

[@scarredxangel]

Omg Jake Abel! 😍 this was so awesome!

[@bucherchaos820]

+Courtnay BEST!!!!!

[@shadowmystic6717]

Didn’t he play Luke in the really bad Percy Jackson movies

[@wheelwarrior2939]

In her interview with good morning America when this book was first released, One of the fans there asked her if she would ever consider writing a series on Jacob up and Renesmee continuing their story (obviously it would be Renesmee has fully matured) This was Stephenie’s response: “ if I ever go forward that is the angle I will go it would be from Renesmee’s perspective. When I wrote breaking dawn, a lot of people were surprised by her inclusion and that she existed and really, I was always creating a new narrator that was the whole point. Because once Bella becomes a vampire there was a distance for me she’s so different I’ve never had that experience so, Renesmee would be the narrator and that would be the story that would be next”. Leah would be in the story as well. Hopefully one day she will continue writing because I would love to see what happens next with Jake and Renesmee as well as her finishing midnight sun.

[@SarahTheTrekkie]

Stephenie seems very nice.

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Sarah Mullin she is!!! =D

[@melodylake18]

Why was Jake Abel casually there?

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+melodylake18 he was hosting stephenie's q&a

[@melodylake18]

That makes sense. Had you gotten to meet him before? He's so nice in person and perfect as Ian. I got to meet him for one of The Host Advanced Screenings.

[@lilumi]

Came back to this video after reading Midnight Sun, and the coolest thing is that he narrated it! He did such a good job too.

[@toothless6712]

Stephenie seems so sweet

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Toothless she is =)

[@Lea-bg5kp]

a wild Jake Abel appeared and I absolutely screamed

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Lea Medina !!! =P

[@Perdidonoslivros]

I Loved this interview, your question about which kind of videos the characters would do if they were youtubers was amazing! Plus Stephenie is such a lovely person!

[@liekes9344]

JAKE ABEL.JAKE ABEL WAS IN YOUR VIDEO. that's so amazing. wow. this was a really fun interview! actually questions I haven't heard answered before :)

[@jennerl.9535]

Seeing Christine's first videos, fangirling over Twilight, and now, watching her interview Stephenie Meyer, is so inspiring! SHE'S COME SO FAR.

[@irisAnjel]

i love the introduction! this was so fun and i laugh so hard on your reaction, and also jake...ugh!

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+jean abellana YAY THANK YOU =D

[@jasminelexa]

yes same haha that was hilarious!

[@thedogdior1510]

+POTTERHEAD that's my dream

[@AutumnalBrown]

Did you get to to talk to Jake Abel?

[@Mymoon_laaaaaaaaaadiiieeesss]

Hogwarts😍

[@lifesizedcoraline]

I’m here again on the day she finally announced the release of Midnight Sun & I can’t believe it’s been so long

[@AwkwardPasta004]

When Jake Abel walked up, I went stupid for a minute. Just flailing around and freaking out. I loved him in the Host and I love Twilight. So my brain just broke for a minute.

[@Bella-zb7mv]

I've watched all the Stephenie Meyer interviews by book bloggers and this one was by far my favourite! You two seemed to get along so well and your question were unique and cute. I love this awwww 💞💖💞💖

[@imsoryimsokool]

I'm so happy/proud of your success!! I don't know you personally, but I've been watching your videos since 2010 and I can't help but feel proud of how far you've come

[@BT5PavedTheWay]

You're slaying these interviews Christine! So happy and proud of you! You've come a long way since your first upload!!

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Anthony Maurangi

[@Ourrsong13]

I was fangirling a lot while watching this! I'm so happy you got the chance to interview Stephenie!! You did it soooo perfectly, loved the questions, and the answers she gave. I NEED to read Life and Death, as soon as I finish Magnus Chase. Hugs from Venezuela.

[@hanman112394]

That's so cool interviewing Stephanie Meyer like I'm jealous as hell. Especially because you asked her so many good questions I've never heard in an interview with her like stuff about her involvement in the covers and sound tracks (which was so cool the sound tracks from those movies are one of my favorites) plus the added bonus of Jake Abel just casually popping in

[@carolinebandeira2928]

I'm watching for the third time, because I'm freaking out. THE FINAL SCENE WAS HER IDEIA OMG YOU GET SO MANY COOL STUFF IN THIS INTERVIEW :O

[@bucherchaos820]

+Caroline Bandeira ME TOO!!!!!!

[@lillywhy]

I haven't read Twilight yet, but just watching the first two minutes of this makes me want to. Stephenie Meyer, wherever you are, you seem extremely awesome.

[@starryeyed06]

I seriously love when you meet authors Christine! I'd do anything to meet the creators of my favorite characters, this was so awesome! and Jake at the start omg

[@TheInvisibleCheshire]

Ugh! I've been waiting for this video for what feels like forever!!!

[@MikaylaBrie]

It was so nice meeting you (and Stephenie) at this event! Great video!

[@ZofSvarna]

How the hell did you get Steph and Jake....? Oh my God I'm freaking out right now!!! Also, I think everyone got introduced to Muse through Steph... and we'll be endlessly grateful.

[@marielle1448]

Just finished Life and Death...Immediately rewatched this and your Life and Death announcement/buying vlog. Christine, please please make a book talk about it as soon as you can. I'M IN BOOK MOURNING and I need a xtinemay book talk to pull myself out of this sadness spiral. Love you and all your videos

[@jeseniacontreras8377]

SO BEYOND JEALOUS!!! THIS INTERVIEW WAS GREAT!!! Glad you got to meet her💙😭

[@snazzydarcyreads]

so weird, I watched twilight last night not knowing you uploaded this video! Takes me back to my twilight days. Not a huge fan anymore, but ... I can't deny my tummy still getting excited when I think about Jasper Hale.

[@montyhale1899]

Awh this was a fun, awesome interview. Great questions, you both are so sweet! ❤️

[@jordanpotter1237]

Stephanie is so calm and down to earth! Really liked her! Crazy seeing authors and knowing the stories you love came from their heads!

[@hannandersha]

I didn't think I was a Stefanie Meyer fan before this interview, and I cannot say for sure that I am one now. But, she seemed so fun and chilled in this interview!

[@ashlynmcclellan9611]

Looking forward to your Life and Death book talk but seriously fangirled when I saw this!

[@witfromwhitt]

Too happy for you! This was awesome!

[@ChloOlivi]

I love how stefanie knows everything about her series 💕

[@_justjasmin_]

By the way, so happy you got to do this. You deserve it!

[@LauraRobstenRK]

Omg the best video ever!!!!! I love every single part of it, it was perfect because as a twilight fan you asked the most incredible questions thank you, love from Mexico 💕

[@BookQueen1]

Yay so happy for you!! Your love of Twilight makes me love the series even more :-)

[@KatTheBooknerd]

Woah what a sweeeeeet interview. You always put so much enthusiasm into them. I love it! That intro was hilarious. I'm amazed they went along with it but still cool they did. Haha. And the outtakes... Hahaha. Beyonce moment. 😜

[@AnupapayaPoopy]

Listening to your rant about how much Twilight meant to you and now this.... aaah so happy for you Christine!

[@TheRagheb95]

i wish she would release Midnight Sun :(

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+TheRagheb95 hopefully someday! she said she would finish it someday =)

[@TheRagheb95]

really?? :D this is great news thanks :)

[@nagablackwing4700]

@@TheRagheb95 She might not. I hears that she feels betrayed because someone posted what she had on MS without her permission. So MS is a sore spot for her now. I hope she finishes it out one day but. I don;t think she will. From: three years in the future.

[@marysue2057]

Naga Blackwing lol

[@lethalassassin1754]

Crazy i wrote a fanfiction once that was a sequel to these books and thought of the name midnight sun it just seemed to work i had no idea it was an actual title related to this series lol.

[@Syaryde]

I love that she loves Muse!!!! They are my favorite band and I freaked out when Supermassive Blackhole was in the movie!!!

[@sunny-tn1ix]

She seems so nice and young! Ugh I love her. Oh and I love you as well, obviously. GREAT VIDEO x

[@camilasanchezfelix4563]

Love your interview and your fangirl moments

[@23lililila]

UOUUUUUUUU OMG how do you feel!??!!. First cassandra knew who you were and now stephenie too. So happy for you girl. Keep going. You are the best

[@JustJay]

That skit in the beginning is gold. :D This would be my dream come true to get a chance to have an actual conversation with Stephenie, so I'll just live through this for now. XD I was so bummed I couldn't go to this event! Gah!

[@StarsAndEmbers]

This is so exciting! Stephenie Meyer and Jake Abel! Loved the skit at the beginning! :)

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Stakes and Steles thank you! =D

[@rebecaa7482]

The skit at the beginning was the best thing ever! 😂👍👏 And I really liked how you asked some different questions than most other interviewers, you did an awesome job! I love your interviews with authors. Your interview with Sarah. J. Mass was the first one of her I ever saw and I loved it! 👏😌

[@kassandram.7720]

I love how natural and fun you guys seemed to be together! Plus, the wild Jake Abel in the background who's presence is never explained??? xD

[@ShariOliver]

Love the intro! Wish we knew more about The Host sequel... I'm dying to read more. Also Royal Blood is epic! I'm obsessed!

[@libraryofkaris]

[@polandbananasBOOKS]

+Jay G (TheAwkwardBookworm) thank you =D

[@queendsheena1]

Added Far Far Away to my wish list. The story does indeed sound dark and the book summary intrigued me. I plan to get my copy of Steph's new book soon just waiting on incoming moola since I intend to get two other hardcovers (one signed) from The Book Depository (Heartless and The Red Queen sequel) as well in December. This interview was so much fun to watch and both writing and producing would indeed hold their own set of challenges.

[@Lukesimmer]

Stephanie is so beautiful and chilled i love her vibe
