For reals! I teared up 💕

I am in sixth grade and I have gotten bullied every year that I have been in school but when I found you in like the fourth grade yes, I already liked reading but, I didn't read much. The bullying got worse and then I found you. I began to read more and more and I was happy! People bullied me even more because they reading was for dorks, but I DID NOT CARE! reading still is my escape and my life. If I never found you....I probably would have been in heavy counciling, and in a depressed mental state, my parents were getting divorced, I moved away from close friends and my life was meaningless....but...then...I found you......my inspiration and my idol. I wish I could meet you in real life....and talk about all things books and millions of other things! I hope you read this and just know...your effort helps so many people and I am one of those people. Have a great day and life. With love, - A fellow book nerd Edit: I garuntee that this comment will never be read but I wanted to say what heart says with everything you do.

This is so awesome!

I really enjoy watching your videos and they always cheer me up. Thanks for everything you do!

Christine, you're actually one of the main reasons I became a big reader! I used to watch your dance videos, then you started discussing books and I was like "huh. that sounds cool." and now I always have a book with me and I can't imagine my life without reading. Thank you, so very much

It was you and Percy Jackson that got me into reading so much

Hi Christine! This video being really heartfelt, (I may have cried...just a little bit) I thought this was a good opportunity to leave this message: You were the first booktuber I ever watched. I remember it was a couple of years ago (woah. time flies) before The Blood of Olympus has come out, and this was when I was so obsessed with Percy Jackson and just reading in general. In that year (2014) I read a bunch of books that opened my eyes to reading. Percy Jackson, Divergent, The Maze Runner. But I was mostly obsessed with Percy Jackson. So I heard about the unboxings with the clues and I immediately searched and watched every single video. You were the first one I watched. I remember thinking "wow her lipstick is really pretty" and for some reason your video stuck with me when I finished watching all the others. I came back to your channel and subscribed. I went through your videos and watched them over and over. (More in comments)

Through that I found your second channel, which I adored. I find it so interesting that we shared similar interests. I loved books, but before I was a reader I wanted to be a director. Actually in 3rd grade I established a "theater group" with some other kids in my grade and my best friend and I would write plays for all of us to perform. Also, this is going to sound crazy but not only was I in to videos, plays, and books, but I was also a dancer. I loved your dancing videos as well as your others because I always loved dance. Anyway, through your channel I have become a better reader, and student. Sometimes I'll walk around in bookstores and be like "Oh! Christine recommended that!" Booklion forever! xx

I excpected Twilight bc she always mentions it as "the book that got her to read" and "the book that got her to booktube" BUT ANYWAY OMG I CRIED STOP

You ARE the reason I started reading! I hadn't read a whole novel on my own until my freshman year of high school. Now I'm in college and reading more than I ever have in my whole life and it's all because I found your channel out of the blue! I have never read YA or literally any book you discuss in your videos but I still LOVE watching you talk about them. Your love for reading is infectious and inspiring. Thank you.

The first book i have ever read, like actually read was Twilight. I would stay up all night just reading and reading and reading wondering if i will ever get my own Edward Cullen. Now my bookshelves consists of nothing but books. Thank you Stephanie Meyer for sending me on this wonderful journey of joining my favorite characters on heists.

i'm not crying there's just a papercut in my eye

I'm blessed to have a childhood filled with reading all thanks to my mum

I love you so much Christine. You gave me so much hope through reading, since most kids at my school made fun of it. But just recently I was in the hospital for 71 days and had 15 major surgeries, and reading books wasn’t an option because I was in so much pain and couldn’t even hold a book. So I watched your videos, they made me laugh and feel better. Thank you for everything you’ve done, and I love watching you grow and read, and I really hope I can meet you in person some day. ❤️❤️❤️

Whenever i feel like I'm not reading well or I'm in a book slump, I watch your videos and get inspired to READ YOUR VIDEOS MAKE ME LAUGH AND CHEER ME UP AND MAKE READING (something i love to do) SO MUCH MORE FUN. NEVER STOP MAKING VIDEOS AND MAKING YOUR FANS HAPPY also please read the last star by Rick Yancey... ty

Love this!!

I TOLD MYSELF: Carina don't cry it's okay.. but it did not work. In Germany we say: du sprichst mir aus dem Herzen.. I guess you would say something like: You re talking like you got my heart inside your chest.. best video I ever saw, banana!!

Everytime I feel so alone. I always watch your videos and you never fail to make me smile. I know you barely know me but I just wanted to tell you that you helped me a lot. and I Thank You for that. Keep on inspiring people. ❤😊

My third grade teacher had this time in class it was reading corner time so we all went and sat on the carpet and she read us the babysitters club or the babysitting club and I loved it. And in 7th grade my English teacher gave us mandatory DEAR time too we didn't have a choice and while everyone else was groaning I would grin 😂😂😂😂💖💖💖💖💖

This is so emotional and relatable I just can't. And Christine, you are one of the people that I need to thank for making me the reader I am. I mean I loved books from childhood, but when I started picking out novels and when I started watching Booktube videos I just COULDNT stop. I was always excited to finish a book and immediately watch your reviews to see what you thought! All throughout the books at certain points I would be like "What would Christine think of this? What would Cass? Natasha? Katy? Sasha? Jessie think?" Because Booktube videos DO change a reader. And these videos have also helped me to start writing a book of my own! The daydreams about YOU reviewing my book someday is what keeps me going. So thank you Christine! Thank you for doing all you do and just existing in general!

Me too! It was that same video. I just started reading again & i had so many emotions from that book that i searched book reviews & found Christines. Her excitement made me more excited & i continued reading & looked to her channel for recomendations :) How time flies

Christine, you were one of the first people who showed me that a love of books, my love of books, wasn't wrong. I realized that I didn't have to be ashamed about the fact that I read a book every day, I should celebrate. So thank you, for being one of my first "positive reading role models."

Thank you so much Christine. Even if I am a young teen, your videos make me want to read even more than I already do. I found you channel about a year or so ago and I'm not kidding when I say you have changed my life. So thank you, again, you'll always be loved and supported by me and everyone else.

This is just amazing. It's so powerful to know that books can change lives and once in a while save lives. You are one on the six booktubers that got to feel more comfortable always having a book in my bag, and inspired me to start my own channel over a year ago. Love you Christine and thanks for being you!

I always loved reading butt I didn't read often about a year ago I found Christine's Channel and since then I have been reading like crazy and enjoy the World of YA

I cried while watching this. I am constantly pushed aside by others because I read too much and I don't have a social life, but without reading, I wouldn't have made my channel and be the person I am today, and I am so proud of that now. Thank you so much for making me see that. I love you and your channel so much! xxx

I started being a book lion in January of last year. The books that really got me into reading was the Lunar Chronicles series. Through that I discovered ABookUTopia and your channel and I was hooked! 😀 You two are my absolute favorite KZreadrs! I can't wait to see you at YallFest! 😀

Definitely was feeling a lot of emotions while watching this video. Christine, you were the first person I ever watched on KZread that was a part of the reading community, and you paved the way for mind to discover other amazing books once I finished Harry Potter and didn't know where to look next. You absolutely were one of the main forces that influenced me to read in spite of my friends' judgment, and still are an individual that I look up to! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST, GIRLIE!

Christine, i found your channel when i was just going into 6th grade when i was just going to a new school, and at my old school everyone hated to read, but at this new school, every kid loved to read and if you read your book after finishing a test or something you werent made fun of for being a nerd. I was one of the kids at that point that thought reading was weird and nerdy, but then one day i watched all of your book reviews for the darkest minds and i had to drag my mom to barns and noble so i could read the series. I'm in 9th grade right now, and every day despite my copious amounts of homework, i make sure to squeeze in a few hours of reading. Thank you so much for making videos, since 6th grade my vocabulary and spelling skilling have gone up so so much and i know i can blame it on reading and your channel

this make me sooo teary eyed & such a beautifully inspirational video Christine! I also want you to know that you're the first booktuber I stumbled upon & you're also the reason I want to join booktuber to make my own videos which lead me to save my money so I can buy a decent camera & learn to edit! SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING THE PERSON I LOOK UP TO FOR YEARS NOW! 🎉💞✨😍

Okay this has me all choked up and teary-eyed. This was a really lovely video Christine! Very cool editing as well. :)

Am I the only one crying here? It feels great to know people out there see reading as I do. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

You're such a beautiful person Christine. You made me cry watching this because it made me think if all the reasons why I read and how fortunate I am to have found this space on youtube where I can watch other people who love to read. I only really got back into reading last year after a massive slump but watching you and other KZreadrs rave about books has encouraged me to read things I probably never would have read.

Honestly this is why started to watch your videos because there was finally someone who understood my love for reading. I loved this video it made me cry lol

This is such a lovely video and it's great that you're donating to libraries!! I'm glad you got into books otherwise we wouldn't have your amazing videos:D

Reading novels and connecting with people who love to read has really changed my life .

I'm not going to lie before I found your channel I hated reading, but after finding out your channel I found Percy Jackson, rebel bell, the glass thrown, red queen and more amazing book because of you. You channel completely changed my life, so thank you.

Christine, I definitely would not love reading as much as I do if I hadn't found your videos. Thank you for always reminding us why we continue to read and be a part of the book community! xoxo

MY MAKEUP LOOKED BOMB TODAY AND NOW YOU GOT ME CRYIN CHRISTINE WHY YOU DO DIS

The people who got me into reading were definitely my family, ever since I knew basic words I was read a book or story every night before bed. Then as I got older and understood more words I began to read the Percy Jackson series, my dad would read me a chapter each night. Then as I got even older I began to read "the hunger games" and then "the mortal instruments" and then "throne of glass" etc, which was all due to my sister and her massive collection of books. I'm so glad I was always encouraged to read because it is one of my favourite hobbies and led me to your channel :)

I am crying right now not because the video was sad but because it was true. I am 15 years old and I am brushed aside as a nerd. Booktube is a place where I find people like me. People who teach me that it's okay to be different, okay to love books, okay to be a reader. I have read and read and read since I started watching booktube. Thank you Christine. Thank you very much. Reading does change lives.

My Christine is getting so emotional making me feel so emotional, ughhh such a heart to heart vid bananas

Honestly, I read quite a lot when I was younger and then as soon as I started high school I kind of just stopped and didn't read anything for years and then in 2014 I found your KZread channel and your passion for books rubbed off on me and made me want to start reading again and since then I got a Kindle, joined Goodreads and have never been so into much reading. Im currently reading the 4th book of the Sophie Kinsella shopaholics series haha

You, and the BookTube community changed my life. I thought I was all alone with my love for books and characters. I was made fun of all the time at school for embracing my personality and loving to read. I wasn't athletic or popular like everybody else. I would just sit alone at a table and read and read by myself. Then, I can across your videos, and the entire BookTube community. And now I feel like I have friends that I can share passions with. Thank you Christine. Thank you for changing my life forever. 💖

I discovered my love for reading in 6th grade when my reading teacher had class sets of books and she would makes us popcorn around the class reading paragraphs or chapters. I was actually a pretty bad reader, like stumbling on words and having to sound them out but this class helped me so much, and everyone was so patient. I'm not sure what made us such angel 6th graders but I am so grateful that no one laughed or was disrespectful in that class especially to the slow readers. Although i do remember one time my friend Brian read Hola (the Spanish hello) like HOLLA! that has stayed with me for 10 years! I think I cried laughing that day.

Christine you mean so so much to me.you are encouraging me to be who I am.everything you said was beautiful and amazing. I started crying because of the wonderful things you said. Thank you for being so awesome💖

This is important. So well said. Editing and aesthetic on point girl and gahh, you got me crying!!!! I relate so hard!!

My mom taught me to read when I was very young, way before I started school. Me and my mom used to read and trade books then talk about it. I will always be thankful for her for introducing me to the reading world.

My mom, my local public library, and my extraordinary elementary school teachers were the ones that made me love to read. Finding booktube (by first watching Christine's Divergent booktalk) was what solidified my love of books.

Aww Christine this was so sweet. You have actually helped me find several books that I have really liked

JUST GETTING SO EMOTIONAL AT THE END 🙃😭 YEA I CRIED

Im crying right now, because i didnt know that someone could actually put in words the power and love for reading. Thank you Christine

Thank you Christine! You changed my reading life forever! Harry Potter was the first book/series I had ever read by myself. I started reading them when I was in first grade, and finished all 7 by the time I started 4th grade. My third grade teacher saw me reading Harry Potter and the Goblet Of Fire during free time, and she took it away and said "Emma, you are not smart enough to read a big book that. You won't be able to comprehend that until your in 8th grade." I was crushed. Now 4 years later, I found your Harry Potter book talks. I loved your personality and I could clearly see how passionate you were about books, so I continued to watch more of your videos. I heard you talk about Twilight and how it saved your reading life, so I decided to give it a try. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! Twilight now ranks #2 in my all time favorite series of all time. Since then I can't stop reading. I now finish a book about every couple of days. Every book I hear that you enjoyed, I just can't resist adding it onto my TBR. Now I hear your writing you own book, and I know I'm going to love it! Thank you so much for creating awesome videos that inspire me to read every day! Because of you I want to start my own BookTube channel, but I'm afraid I'm too young. Thank you for changing our lives for the better whenever you upload a new video!

why did this video really make me cry

Your eyes looked amazing in the video!

Christine is actually the reason I started to like reading......before I use to hate reading...I'm soooooo happy I found this channel

THIS IS HONESTLY SUPER POOPER INSPIRATIONAL! PEOPLE AT MY SCHOOL (IM IN GRADE 9) ALWAYS FIND ME WITH A NEW BOOK POST ON INSTAGRAM OR ON MY SCHOOL DESK AND TELL ME TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES INSTEAD WHEN I PREFER READING. NOW THANKS TO YOU, IM GOING TO OWN MY BOOKS!

I was blessed with wonderful parents who took my sister and I to the library every month so we could get books. I've also been told that when I first started learning how to read I struggled and one day everything just clicked and I wouldn't stop reading, including during class

Thank you so much for making this video Christine! Reading changes lives, it changed my life for sure. I was always a reader as a kid, but when I reached my teen years I didn't read as much. That's when I was gifted the Divergent series and went on KZread and found your book talk! Ever since, I have been going through books like none other. Thank you for shining so much joy and passion through your videos, it really inspires me and I don't know if my reading journey would even exist if it weren't for you!

I clicked on this video with no idea I would start crying... Reading means the world to me and hearing you talk about it made me so nostalgic! You definitely help us keep the love for books alive! Your channels have been a source of joy in my life for 4 years now! (Which makes me feel old, I was a senior in high school and now I'm a senior in college). Thank you for all you do!

For speech and debate, I wrote a speech about why fantasy and books are necessary in our lives, and Harry Potter was my beginning, middle, and end. I loved this video, and can relate to so much of it, especially loving dear time, and basically growing up with a love for reading. The whole story was moving, but the ending had me in tears.

Christine, you are not the reason I started reading, but you are the reason I kept reading no matter what. Everytime I was in a slump and I was about to give up on reading, you came with your videos and showed me new interesting books. And maybe they weren't that interesting, but the way you talked about them made me want to read them too. You were for me this book fairy that was excited to talk about books at any hour and it made me realize just how amazing books are and how many books are out there waiting for me to read them. You are the best person ever, Christine! Because you helped me and rescued me so many times I can't even count them. Thank you so much, I love you forever!

Now, when going through a hard time in my life, honestly, one of the main things that get me through everything is books. It is you talking about books, it is books how I found your channel and can finally laugh at something, it is the experience I recieved whilst reading that gives me the wisdom to answer quests that life gives me and also it is just books keeping me company... I read, I talk to them and I feel so content with myself, so free and honestly not alone. They inspire me to go outside and look at things with brighter colours and love. They give me more love and courage and patience. Thank you.

I started reading because of you. I was always an internet freak until September of 2016 when I stumbled across the booktube side of KZread and found your channel. I could not stop watching them and this is when I began reading the Harry Potter series and I read nearly all the young adult books at my school (7th grade). You don't understand how much I have to thank you. I just can't even imagine what I'd be doing right now without books. It's changed my life completely and I'm so thankful for this stumble I've made. Thank you, Christine.

You were the first booktuber I ever came across. In 8th grade for school the entire grade read "The Hunger Games." I completed the book before anyone else did and begged my mom for Catching Fire and Mokingjay. The day the movie came out the entire 8th grade class went on a trip to the movie theaters to see it. A couple days after I looked up movie review videos for "The Hunger Games" and immediately subscribed! I've been a fan since 2012 and still am to this day. You and "The Hunger Games" made me addicted to reading and I currently have over 200 books. My shelf is almost completely full lol. Keep up the great work, we love you!!

AHHHHHHHHH I love reading, is like you step into a journey, and when you're done, it will stuck in your little heart forever.

Christine, I only found your channel a few months ago through a post I saw on Pinterest. I came onto your channel and I think the first video I watched was The Hunger Games: Couple Therapy and was laughing every 10 seconds. At that time I was in a pretty low point, but watching your videos along with other channels brought me up. You are the only KZreadr I've seen that has a channel dedicated to books, I am thankful for that. This video made me cry, I'm not going to deny that. You deserve more subscribers than you will ever get. I just wanted to say thank you. Even if you never see this, I still wanted to thank you.

I've always loved reading. Ever since I was a little girl. It makes me a little bit sad when people say, "I don't like reading" or "readings is boring" or even. "Why would you spend your time reading a book?"It makes me sad to hear people say that because reading really is important. With books, you're stepping into another world, another place, and you're reading about things that couldn't happen or things that could. With reading, you're broadening your mind, you're expanding your vocabulary, you're becoming a better writer, and you're observing how other writers write, so that you can apply different things to your own writing, and learn how to improve. And I don't think the people who claim to not like reading realize that. They don't realize what reading truly does for us. Reading has completely changed my life, and I always find myself wanting to read more! I hope my love of reading never stops, and I hope it continues for many years to come. What people don't realize is that reading is very important, and it's a nice escape to delve into. It breaks my heart when people say they don't like to read. If you tried reading, you might fall in love with it like I have, and like other people have. Reading is something I feel like more people should be doing. Because if they did, I feel like some of them would enjoy it.

Christine is the one who got me into reading, I watched her videos and book hauls and 12 year old me was like "SO MANY BOOKS!" So thanks for that Christine

I can't believe she started crying like so heartfelt

Reading Aloud & DEAR time were my favorite moments of the school day! For me, it was Goosebumps & Harry Potter that propelled me into a voracious reader. I also have my Mom to thank. I was fortunate enough to have her stay home with me and read to me daily until I was 5 years old. Reading does change lives! I was part of the Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) Program in school. I am a first-generation college graduate and will be graduating with my MBA in Healthcare Administration this year! Thanks for all that you do to inspire readers everywhere, Christine! :)

Is there a love button? This video made me cry. You put my thoughts into words on how much I love reading. And then you started tearing up, and now I'm dying. Goodness. I'm so glad I found booktube. My love for reading grew even more. I don't have many friends, and even less friends that read, so I get all of my recommendations from you, Jesse, and Sasha. I'm just so so so glad I found you three. I'm crying again, oh no. Just.. thank you.

I never comment on just any videos on youtube but watching YOU and your love for BOOKS all the time encouraged me to read more than the numbers I've read from the past. Smile Christine and keep on encouraging every young or old people that reading isn't just for compliance but also for passion. I LOVE YOU CHRISTINE! Gosh the video made me cry.

I love how you have a whole backstory on how you started reading, when mine is simply just you and Katytastic. :) thanks guys.

Honestly, reading's been a hobby for me ever since I was in third grade, but it wasn't as intense as it is now. And then I found your channel, Christine, along with Jesse's, Katy's, Sasha's, and Tilly's, and OMYGOSH YOU PEOPLE ARE A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. And yeah, I so get you on your frustration of how people think that reading "for fun" is useless. Apart from seeing the world through the author's eyes and figuring out that you're not alone, it just lets you escape from the shi* in your life, and as teenagers, we need that escape because sometimes we feel like everything's on our shoulders, but reading helps us remember that the one who wrote what we're reading may have gotten through the same situation, or maybe they've gone through worse, and you become more open-minded and remember that you're still so lucky to have the things you do have and distract you from dwelling on the things you don't. And YOU HELPED ME BECOME THE READING HUMAN I AM AND IT'S HELPED ME IMMENSELY. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.

This video made me cry and it also made me realize of how grateful I am that I have parents and had teachers who would always encourage me to read

I started crying when her voice went shaky. Idt most ppl would believe how dedicated to reading I am but I'm just as passionate about reading as Christine is and I have looked to her for whether or not to read certain books. I would definitely say I disagree w her some things but I still look up to her very much. So thank you so much Christine! You have changed my life! 😢😪😌🙂🙃

Omg this video was amazing. I cried from how much I could understand what she was saying and how she could describe how amazing reading is. It is so awesome she is donating some of her book and hopefully those books will get more kids to read. I saw her put hunger games in and those are what got me reading...😊

I grew up reading a lot, my parents read to me since I was a baby, so I had always loved it. But I remember when I read the heroes of Olympus series, and was waiting for blood of Olympus, I got totally obsessed. I googled book reviews in the series, then I found your channel with all the reviews and I binge-watched as many as I could. That's what got me to explore other genres, and it made me excited to start a new book instead of my previous reaction of "okay, page one." So yeah, thanks Christine

This was emotional and beautiful! ♡ When I was about 7 years old I had to have a needle and I was deathy afraid of needles, so my nana bought me a book for being brave. That book was The Magic Faraway Tree and it was the first book that got me into the love of reading. My aunty Wendy also inspired the love of reading because she would always buy me books for Christmas, she would always gush about books that she loved and she has a library of books; bookshelf in every room. About 2 years ago I kind of lost my passion for reading. I was in a depression state where I couldn't bring myself to do things that I loved; such as reading. I didn't read for a year, until I came across yours and Katytastics videos and they inspired me to pick up a book and start reading again. Your videos gave me that spark I needed to read again. I will always be a fan of your videos. Thank you :)

Christine, you should know what an inspiration you are for me and many others! When i was younger i was exactly like you, borrowing all the books i could read in my school library, i even befriended the librarian! But after some years, i read less and less, i still loved stories but i started to prefer them on the big screen instead. When I found your channel it brought back my endless love for books. I'm so happy because of that. When i've felt like i don't belong, I've opened a book and it has filled my hole. You also introduced me to so many new books that have changed my life. This video made me shed tears, you're amazing Christine!

In elementary school I read and reread all the Percy Jackson and Harry Potter books. Without booktube, I don't know where I would be, because books saved my life multiple times. Thank you so much Christine!

Christine I started reading in middles school and had no one to fangirl with so I found your videos and you helped me find so many books that I love. I love your KZread channel and I agree that books can change lives. I have felt so alone and a book really helped me. :)

Just want to let you know, your channel is guiding tons of people down the path of reading. You are the reason I read :) This video touched me so much.

Reading can be LOUD, SUSPENSEFUL, COLOURFUL, PAINFUL, FUNNY, and SO much more... It's an incredible journey I'm proud to say I've experienced, SO much of it from YOUR videos Christine! Words are powerful. Words are a life of their own. Words will inspire and evolve.

When you teared up, that was it for me, I STARTED CRYING! Christine, you have shaped both of my reading and ordinary life in ways that are beyond imagination. You have contributed in elevating and amplifying my love for reading and you have exhibited to me the methods of accepting and being myself in order not to be afraid to be a reader. I've been watching your videos for years now, and my only wish is to meet you, Kat, and Jesse so I can express my eternal and never-ending love, passion, and potential gratitude for everything you've done to and for me. I hope this happens very soon. Thank you for making this video and for having this particular channel.
