My name is Christine Riccio! I love comedy and reading fantastic books. I make what I like to think are funny videos every Tuesday and other days of the week too about books and book related pop culture stuff! Hence the channel name polandbananasbooks. I also have a comedy channel if you're into that kind of thing *winky face* it's polandbananas20. I'D LOVE TO TALK ABOUT BOOKS WITH YOU. ALSO COMEDY. ALSO TV. ALSO MOVIES.

What do you use to make videos? :

[thissickbook]

Congrats to you, Kat, and Jesse on being in the Polish edition of the Call. That's so cool.
You trying to read the blurb in Polish is hilarious XD

[thefirstchapter]

Christine's song at the beginning 😂❤️👌🏻

[freeinfiction]

Another book haul means a ton more books I have to add to my tbr😂

[LucijaC]

I can't be the only one, who always watches those bookhauls with Goodreads open in next tab - to add things on to-read list, you know.

[thissickbook]

"The width of the book reflects how many pages are within it!" YES YES YES
SHOTS fired at Winter, Empire of Storms, and ACOWAR
eff the "Bible pages"
I like BIG books and I cannot lie

[thissickbook]

No Good Deed naked reminded me of Ed Sheehan's Multiply album

[siouxthegamer]

Okay so I had my (pretty loud) fan on when I started watching this video and she was telling the person outside her door to stop vacuuming, and the very instant I turned my fan off, she said "thank you, thank you" XD

[mckenzieread]

The song in the beginning 👌🏽 perfect! Book hauls make me think of all the books I keep adding to my TBR pile and my stress pile (both piles are never small)

[hania]

Ive been following you for 2 years now. Just thought you should know that one of the biggest reasons I look forward to my summer vacations are your videos. You've helped me get out of my reading slumps and helped me find my favourite books. Your book talks are where I go the second I finish a book. I wanted to say Thankyou. So, Thankyou. 💙

[patriceragasa]

I have a ton of studying to do but when I see a new xtinemay video, I click and watch. Life's easier that way.

[Hollyheartsart]

Really Christine? You have no idea why your first copy of We Were Liars broke in half with the way you handle books? lol ;)

[ryleeb]

"Does this jacket make me look like Sherlock, because that's why I bought it."

Omg ❤️❤️❤️

[asterismos]

Ooh The Golden Compass is SO good; I'd recommend reading the whole series because it is THE BEST.

[letsgetreckless]

Christine!! You always look so freaking cute, I love your style so much! And thank you for your book hauls bc book hauls are my faaave

[morganmastin]

I love book hauls! ACOWAR ACOWAR ACOWAR ACOWAR. I'm totally getting one of those sweatshirts

[sarahgauthier]

Are you going to film a Shadowhunters review?

[KirstyWardBooks]

One of us is Lying is absolutely fantastic! One of my favourite reads of the year and I can't recommend it enough.

[Storribook]

I loved The Golden Compass movie when I was younger. I wanna watch it now! I haven't seen it in years

[mariyabencheva]

Theatre nerd: hears "No good deed goes unpunished"; sings an entire medley of Wicked....

[samanthaevaristo]

Christine is always so excited when it comes to talking about books; she is basically me when I'm fangirling 😂😂😂😂😂
