+lilly moua She mentioned it. It was one of the ones that she said might make the list after she reads the second book. There was a thumnail of Ember when she was saying that
+Tiffany Courtney oh you're right. Hahahah I totally was not listening to that part 😂 thanks
Rewatching all Christine's Favourite Books videos in preparation for the Favourite Books 2016 video. I'm so ready for it
UGH editing goals
+Jbooklover thanks =P
I like how you add so much extra effects to your videos, especially "knocking it out of the park" on this one. Also liked how you put up the previous years and then pushed them away. Wish I knew how to do things like that. I started The Martian but just was bored with it and couldn't get into it.
WOw Christine them editing skills, they deserve an Oscar!
Queen of Shadows by far my fave of 2015 SUCH A GOOD BOOK!
+The Art of Bibliomania
The editing on this video is so great! I love the bright white background with your blue shit, it makes your eyes pop. The text and cover drop ins are really well done - keep it up Christine, you're so entertaining to watch!

3. The Rose Society by Marie Lu (Kicked TYE & the Legend Trilogy out of the water for me)
There were a bunch of really good ones too! Like Crimson Bound, A Darker Shade of Magic and Winter! (But I feel like I'm one of the few people who were 'iffy' on Queen of Shadows...)
Brilliant video Christine! I've really got to pick up To All the Boys I've Loved Before and any Colleen Hoover book...

+About 97 screaming beavers thanks for the infos
I haven't read any of the books you mentioned hahah. I need to, don't I? I was so excited for this video! I think I have been looking forward to your 2015 version since the middle of the year! Great and I agree, it's a short list!
+Valentina Costa yes you need to XD
You look like such an adult in this video ! Like I know you're technically an adult, but now you're more of an adultier adult. You have perfected the art of adulting
+Dominic Samaroo LOL it's the hair cut =P
+Dominic Samaroo OMG, I know!! I couldn't stop thinking about it. "She looks so mature"
+polandbananasBOOKS I have been watching you since 2012. I absolutely love your videos. you have inspired me in so many ways I cant list. anyway to the point I have finally worked up the courage to join the book tube community but there is one thing I need to know and I was wondering if you could help me I have just created my channel BOOK BOOTH and I was about to mske a video showing my top 10 favourite books but then it sprang into my mind about copyright issues I don't know if I CAN put the cover of the book on the internet or talk about it on my channel without having copyright consent please help I would be extremely grateful!!!!. thanks you,P.S my channel is not on this account
This video was so well done Christine!! Loving the white background and the floaty book covers!
EDITING ON POINT AF as always
I still haven't picked up a Collen Hoover book but this will be the year!!
I watched The Martian movie and loved it! I'm currently reading Mistborn (but had to stop for a couple days to finish Passenger) but I'm really enjoying both of those books!
I 100% agree with all of the other books you mentioned! Winter and Queen of Shadows were probably my 2 favorites of the year!!
Hey Christine... have you had a haircut? It looks different & I love it! I wish my hair was like yours ;)
The fact that the dog was called Chandler and the fact that those bloopers were included makes me really like this video
your editing has reached new heights
+Magical Molly haha thanks =P
Dude, can't believe this year is almost in the end! It feels like I watched your 2014 favorites like last month!
Btw the effects in this video are on point! Awesome!
+Steel Inquisitor me either!!!!! // THANK YOU =D
Editing on point.
Your hair and outfit you wear in this video makes you look even prettier than usual. My favorite!!!
The white background makes me feel like this is a dream
My favorite book this year was probably either Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway (which is much more than a romance story, really recommend it!) and Sinner by Maggie Stiefvater.
Can I just say that you looked super pretty and professional in this video, Christine? This video was super well done!
you need to read Red queen its sooooo goooood!!!!!
That ending chandler just wanted some camera time Christine that's all hahah awesome vid like always . Editing on point !
You should read the Red Queen!! It's realllly goood!
READ IT CHRISTINE
+hey it's A! Yeah, I feel like you love or you hate that book. Unfortunately, I didn't like it! :/
+BroadcastingBooks I agree with you. It was too hyped up for me, and I predicted the plot twist at the end so I wasn't as blown away as some people. Hopefully it gets better though :)
Nicole Drees Completely agree. I saw that twist coming, too. I also felt that it wasn't too original, but I can see why people enjoy it as much as they do.
yeees i loved this book and glass sword comes in february
My favorite of 2015 was A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. I also decided to read The Mortal Instruments and The Lunar Chronicles this year and am completely in love with the series. I love Chandler at the end btw
The 2012 one was the first Christine video I ever watched. So happy I discovered Booktube then, my life would have been so different these past few years without it!
+Aileen Bergin My favorite book of 2015- either Queen of Shadows, November 9, or Red Queen!
Mine too!
You literally get me into most of my books!!! I love you Christine Youre the best keep making videos😄💖
+Little Red YAY
OMG You just made my day by replying. And your so welcome!!💓
I love how we tell dogs to be quiet even from another part of the house although there's a good chance that they 1. won't hear us or 2. don't understand us
The lighting in this video is godly! I love it! I want to read the Lunar Chronicles so bad.
editing goals tho
2015 has been such an amazing year for new releases, and I think next year is going to be even more exciting! Loved watching the books dance around the screen XD
OH MY GOD YES
I love Jenny Han soooo much!!!! I also loved how you edited this video with the moving books!! Loved this video Christine
+xoxKaitlynNicole thank you!!
the hero of ages has become my favourite conclusion of all time, it will destroy you! :0
+Clockworkitten THE EPICNESS
I love your channel!
I've been in a bit of a reading slump, or rather, lack of new books to read slump. Now after this video, I am so ready to pick up a book and start reading! Thanks Christine.
I WANT WINTER!!! I WANT IT!!! O_o
Oh my gosh you cut your hair!!!! So pretty!!!
your editing skills are so great
btw, can you tell me which Colleen Hoover book to read? illyyyy
+Dobrică Nicoleta thank you1! =D ALL THE COLLEEN HOOVER BOOKS ARE AMAZING but i'd start with Slammed and then Point of Retreat - and my other favorite favorites of her books are November 9 and Ugly Love =)
I just adore you. And your editing on point! I just started Cinder and can't wait to catch up on that series!
+MamaKatTV
November 9
11/9
9/11 (Australian way)
COLLEEN HOOVER DID 9/11
No? Are memes not popular in book channels?
I started reading the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices in 2015, but it feels like I've been in love with these series for so long!
So the entire TMI and TID... :D and Carry On!!! And Fangirl! omg I can't choose.
Ooh, your hair's pretty!!
The editing skills tho
Christine, the editing in this video is AMAZING!! I love the way you edited this, it was so fun and looked so good! How long did it take you to edit it? Cuz I'm willing to bet it was a while! But it looks so good, you should be super proud of it! Anywho.... A lot of these were my favorites too! Especially Queen of Shadows and P.S. I still love you!
i think im the only person in the world that doesn't likes rick riordan's books...
What?!?!?!?!? Ricks books are the BEST!!!!!
Grace McLean see hahaha
I don't. Thought Magnus Chase was awful. Lol *ducks*
That's how I feel about the Mortal Instruments series. But really, you don't like Percy Jackson? It's what got me into reading, either that or Fablehaven.
AndromedaMoon i dont hate them, but i dont love them. Like magnus chase took me 1 month to read, and i read books like mistborn in 4 days...
Queen of Shadows was so fantastic!!!!
I love your favorites videos so much!
I really like your new hair by the way 😍😘
My favorite book series this year was Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children. That book series man, it was amazing! My favorite book from this year was The Night Circus. I loved that book so much that I stretched it out for months because I didn't want to finish reading it. The way the book was written was just so beautiful!
The book covers just flying around... PERFECT!!!
You are an editing magician, Christine. Your videos are amazing!
+drowninginfandomfeels THANK YOU =D
+polandbananasBOOKS Ahhhh you're welcome!! :)
I love the editing on this vid! Just saying, it's so much amazingness! Great picks for your favs for this year too. I still need to read Winter, but it's sitting on my shelf, will probably read it at the beginning of 2016! My favorite for this year is Come Back To Me by Mila Gray
Man, where do I begin?! To Kill A Mockingbird, Between Shades Of Gray, The Sky Is Everywhere. Too many good books to count this year! So glad I got back into reading in 2015. Can't wait to see what I find in 2016! Happy holidays everyone!
Queen of Shadows was so amazing! Also, I read the entire Lunar Chronicles series within the last few months, and that is definitely my new favorite series right now!!! Love it so so much!!! I'll be dressing up as the four main girls for a video soon :D
I'm legit sitting here with a pen and paper jotting these down. I asked for a SHIT TON of book vouchers this year so I'M READY.
QUEEN OF SHADOWS!!!! AHHHHH!!!!! That is by far my favorite book this year! It was just so good how can you not love it?!
The way you edited this is SO ICONIC
Love this channel so much

And, I did meet my 2015 resolution and READ THE HARRY POTTER SERIES FOR THE FIRST TIME AND NOW IM LIKE WHAT WAS LIVING BEFORE HP?
Merry Christmas Christine!
