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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 😊❣️
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
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 :)
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!!!!
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?
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. 😩😩😭😭😍😍❤️❤️💕
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
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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🙈😂❤
Have you read the dark prophecy and the burning maze yet?? If not yet, you really should! Bc you're missing on A LOT of things. Hoping to see your booktalks about them. 😁😁
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.
![Whats wrong with me? // My Disabilities (Updated) [CC]](/img/n.gif)
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!!
Zoe Jean Louise totally agree with you
Agreed.
LOTR is my favorite movie of all time. No movie has ever lit my heart and soul on fire like it did.
I see someone learned her book marketing technique from John Green lol
"That epic battle at hippopatm-" *palm-smacks forehead*
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!
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.
Shain Stanley I wish my parents would buy me books!
How do you speed read?
peterDcontact by doing nothing until you finish it. Not that I have a social life anyway...
Coco is SO wonderful! 😍
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.
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.
i'm finally gonna start the throne of glass series next month thanks to your suggestion!!
All of your LOTR mispronunciations 😂 I was shouting the names at my screen!
I LOVED Coco!! I'm so glad you include movies+TV shows in your wrap ups
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.

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!!!!
Here’s to hoping we get a sequel movie for To All The Boys I Loved Before
Read By Jess I think we’re supposed to! Since the end was a cliff hanger. Let’s hope we do.
That intro is amazing. Congrats on the book! Definitely gonna buy it!
i love wrap ups the intro sO MUCH IT NEVER GETS OLD
You should watch one day at a time!!! It’s a wonderful sitcom about a Cuban family

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!
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!
You can change your region to watch more shows
Use a VPN and you can on Netflix!!
i always patiently wait for your video to drop on tuesdays :D
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.
Ok, but where did you get your hat, Christine? I love it.
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
I was just hoping that you would post a video, it made my day I love your videos Soooo much❤️❤️❤️
I'M SO GLAD YOU LOVED EIGHTH GRADE!
I was never so early😍😍
Your videos are everytime a highlight❤
... Helm's Deep. Still loved this video even though your LOTR review made me sad.
LOL
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ when you don’t need a notification because you always on TH-cam , but also amazing video as usual
You should read American Street by Ibi Zoboi! It tackles a wide range of social struggles in America today and is written beautifully!
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.
have you watched Atypical ? I cant remember from your previous video. Highly recommend
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

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

My brain might explode after your description of Lord of the Rings. Loved To All The Boys I Loved Before, it was so cute
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?
I really enjoyed 36 Questions which is a podcast musical! The first of it's kind!
Christine, have you watched Brooklyn 99? It's so good
I just finished binge watching Sharp Objects and omg it was amazing! 10/10 would recommend!!
I WANT TO WATCH THAT SO BAD!!
IF YOU HAVENT READ HEARTLESS BY MARISSA MEYER YOU NEED TO!!! ITS MY FAV AND ITS LIKE THE LUNAR CHRONICLES
I've been watching a show that I think that you might enjoy, it's called Heartland and it's on Netflix.
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.
i’m sick and this is the perfect medicine
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

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.
I just watched that movie and it was amazing.
@@mrs.darling5865 Me too!
Haha Elsie Fisher is Agnes in Despicable Me!!!
The 100 Season 5??

I think that's what they were going for
There were a lot of Asian cultural jokes in Crazy Rich Asians that I loved!
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!
I loved 8th grade... It is SO SCARY because it is so real... exactly like middle school
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🙈😂❤
FINALLY THE STORIES I ATE THIS MONTH THEME SONG, MY FAVORITE MOMENT OF THE MONTH XTINE
Aaaaaaand you just made my day! 💜💜🤸
Moraaathhhhh 😂😂😍😍 can’t wait for the seventh book tho
tower of dawn WOWED me !!
How do you read multiple book in one month
Have you read the dark prophecy and the burning maze yet?? If not yet, you really should! Bc you're missing on A LOT of things. Hoping to see your booktalks about them. 😁😁
definitely gonna check "this is me now" tomorrow!
i still need to read tower of dawn but i think im going to read it during a 24 hour read a thon
I need to catch up on Orange Is the New Black! Im so far behind!
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.
Yayy! You finally ate coco
Christine, Im just gonna pretend you didn't give two towers and Rotk a B- 😂😂😂😂😂
3:01 Please tell me yournot talking about the movie because that thing was ruined
That hat reminds me of one I saw at Zara
What's the name of the song on the intro?
Please tell me you watched the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings films. The theatrical cuts are pitiful compared to those.
