It's that time again, the time where I face down unYIELDING odds in order to triumph or suffer an ignominious defeat. Come see my wonderfully patient wife face down my relenting grumpiness at how hard this stupid game is.

Christina has the power of a kindergarten teacher.

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

She would have been an excellent one

@mythologypress9470 Год назад

Apparently Allen does not like not knowing everything lol.

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

This is accurate just in general

@AnithaGadeReads Год назад

hahahaha I love that Christina is soo excited at the end. Ready to go shopping😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Noooooooooo

@holeyheartedmelissa4503 Год назад

"You can't win, but you can rally!" ❤️😆😆😆😆😆

@bardsandbooks Год назад

Poor Christina 😂 I hope you gave her a great big hug after this! To be honest, it is pretty amusing seeing you struggle with these. Always fun seeing you two in a challenge video! 🎉

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Hahahahah I definitely did. She is such a good sport always lol

@AccipiterF1 Год назад

Christina's eye-roll at 8:07. 🤣 The Iron Gold one was absolutely valid! And for the record, I was rooting for you, man, because I would totally suck at this game.

@jemofabook Год назад

I literally started rereading Iron Gold 6 days ago and had absolutely no clue what that one was 😂😂

@mattf.3365 Год назад

Allen's videos are always so entertaining but the fun level goes through the roof when Christina is involved! "It was randomized!" may be my new mantra!

@KFoxtheGreat Год назад

Christina's face when you mention rounding people up in the night was perfect 😂

@ColinsCornerYT Год назад

I don’t think you give yourself enough credit…I literally can’t remember the first line of the book I’m actively reading once I get like 6 pages past it most times… Also, hello to the wonderful Christina!

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

Hello!!

@esmayrosalyne Год назад

You two are just the BEST!! The fact that you even got any of these is highly impressive to me, I would undoubtedly get zero points because my memory is a joke hahaha. Nice try Allen, you gave it your all and delivered some top-tier entertainment, so I'd call this a win anyway ;)

@gatesofthelibrary Год назад

This was brilliant. Loved watching the struggle.

@lieslherman Год назад

I feel you Christina, my husband also breaks my eardrums when he gets passionate about something. 🤣 This was so great, honestly I would have done even worse... I read one of these books literally last month and couldn't recognize it until line 2. 🥴 It's HARD!! It's a fun change of pace for a video, though!

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

It is so hard!! I did so much better last time but my wife is a wonderful trooper and challenge partner!

@georgebest5412 Год назад

Ha ha ha! I just started Iron Gold & still didn't get the opening sentance..numpty 🤣🤣🤣

@adamborst Год назад

This is very hard. I do not envy you in attempting to get 70%. The dejected sigh after not getting the answer is real. I imagine there'll be a gif of "THIS IS SO HARD" coming at some point. Fantastic content!

@caitcoy Год назад

Lol I like how you get mad at the rules you picked. That said, I feel like these first line challenges are so much harder than most of the other challenges, I would definitely fail 99% of my books. 😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Hahahahahaha that is the story of my life...angry that I don't meet the guidelines I made for myself lol

@chadia25 Год назад

This is too hard!!! It really is, Allen. I couldn't do it for books I read last month. 😆

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Hahahaha thanks for the support

@Johanna_reads Год назад

Hooray for Christina challenge videos! I cannot wait to watch that workout video! Hahahahaha!!!!! Your cat is so adorable! 😻

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

I am sad about it

@readingsloph7584 Год назад

Christina's excitement at the end was excellent. The whole video was funny as always. Also I love a good cat cameo.

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Thank you for watching!

@christeascozycorner Год назад

wow christina would make an amazing audiobook narrator 😂 i haven't read the malevolent seven but i knew that first line right away too based off a reading de castell did at my local bookstore haha i wouldn't have gotten iron gold at all either 🥲

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

ITS SO HARD

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

Aw thank you! I’m not a great actor so I don’t think I could pull it off - I can only mimic! 😂

@christeascozycorner Год назад

@@christinak.walker9902 your voice was so smooth and soothing reading those passages! if you ever do narrate something, i will definitely go out and buy it 🥰

@TheArtfulBrittani Год назад

The Iron Gold prologue enticed me to want to actually start that series, but I agree it sounds like it could be ANY war related book when not given context.

@tovx76 Год назад

Christina’s face at 20:06 😯😂 Great video Allen. Hope you have a good day!

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

Oh no hahaha that’s a horrible face!! 😂

@tovx76 Год назад

@@christinak.walker9902 your reactions to Allen always make me smile and laugh😆

@adamaj74 Год назад

Dude how could you miss Iron Gold?! As soon as she read it I was yelling it out! And, the prologue counts!! 😂😂😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Because I read it two years ago 😛

@adamaj74 Год назад

Ah well that's understandable, but still funny 😂

@EscapetoBooks23 Год назад

It took me till book 6 to realize all these books weren't about a character named Thunderclies. Lol

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Hahahahahah I mentioned it in the rules briefly at the beginning. I can see how that would be jarring lol

@blacknbluecollarreader Год назад

Excellent video!! I am, however, a little disappointed that the host of Jeopardy did so poorly. Though I am now going to read Red Rising because those prose were damn good. I'll have my long socks and headband on deck for this Richard Simmons video. Wonderful video you two.

@Jeff_McIntyre Год назад

all the thumbs up for happy cat time closing.

@akashas6012 Год назад

You guys work well together; I can tell y'all are a couple.

@BookishDrummer Год назад

grumpy, ranty allen is exactly what i need in my life lol

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Hahahahahaha so grumpy

@Thorbearius Год назад

This was great fun! I am impressed by Christina. The patience! My partner would have thrown a book at me after my first tantrum :) (If it makes you feel better, I did not get any one of them correct)

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

We are both very patient when it comes to different things. She is a saint when it comes to me being grumpy lol

@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD Год назад

Loved the Price is Right loser sound. 😂😂

@fadingtwilight7682 Год назад

Get your butt to Goodwill, Allen. You owe Christina lol

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

When we were first dating we went on a date where we bought each other clothes at Goodwill and picked the cheesiest loudest outfits we could find and then wore them out in public the rest of the date haha. 😂 Good times!

@FunwithJJ1 Год назад

the look of love AND derision at 9:33 is what marriage is kids! I love the relationship yall!

@Paromita_M Год назад

🤣 I would have got zero.

@MoniquetheBookGeek Год назад

I'd like to see every BookTuber do this challenge. Seems very difficult, one I doubt I could ever win, but really fun. Christina's excitement at the end was the best! 😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

I agree! Everyone should do it but be sure to do Sekiro rules!

@Paul_van_Doleweerd Год назад

Ooh, still on the right side of history after all. 😅 Thundercles ho!

@annak_reads Год назад

Kudos for going through with this challenge, and on hard-mode no less 😄 Definitely a tough one.

@onfaerystories Год назад

I'm so ready for that workout video! 😂 I unfortunately haven't read any of these books but Red Rising is now high on my priority list to start in the second half of the year (and I'm looking forward for the discussions you had about this series!).

@BookishChas Год назад

Wow this was a tough one for sure.

@bridgit2541 Год назад

I'm currently reading Iron Gold and I didn't recognize that...

@MagusMarquillin 11 месяцев назад

Hehe, in Christina's defense, I thought standing on the lonely volcanic imagery was pretty evocative, though it make me think of the cover of Sword of Kaigen also. Maybe next time you could have two or three tiers of punishment severity cups, it might lessen your depression when you know you can't win, but might at least still avoid the dunce prize. Your choice whether Richard Simmons workout goes there. :)

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria 11 месяцев назад

I already have the outfit...the exercise video will be epic

@KFoxtheGreat Год назад

Hahaha, I know I would fail a challenge like this. I doubt I could guess if it was the book I'm currently reading

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

Me either! It’s an impossibly hard challenge!

@mastersal4644 Год назад

So excited for this video - brightened up my work day ❤ Also I think you should just watch Shadow and Bone last episode instead of reading the book. And see if you can guess who Ben Barnes is 😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

He's impossible to discern. Wasn't he the main character in Se7en?

@jakebishop7822 10 месяцев назад

Somehow I missed this happened. My goal is to not miss any books I have read

@jakebishop7822 10 месяцев назад

17:57 is Hero of Ages, I am now 3/3

@jakebishop7822 10 месяцев назад

I missed the one after which I had read. It felt like Erikson to. Darn, but for me it was who else describes the ice wall like that.

@jakebishop7822 10 месяцев назад

I went 3/6 I think the scoring system is just too hard, like if you get everything on the second sentence that feels like you did really well, but it would be a fail.

@christeascozycorner Год назад

EVERYDAY'S GREAT AT YOUR JUNES

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

Yessssssssss

@BooksWithBenghisKahn Год назад

This was very fun to watch, and I 100% agree that the Iron Gold one was way too hard of a prompt!

I think Christina would appreciate a wide angle shot for these so she can sit further away from the irate shouting! 😂😂

Quest for Snorlax?! Allen gets to Sweat to the Oldies!

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

😭😭😭

@akellerhouse83 Год назад

I wouldn't have known any of these. My score would literally be 0. This challenge is too hard. You should have 3 guesses for each one.

@aysseralwan Год назад

I totally guessed Iron Gold (I never read it)

@praetorxyn Год назад

I literally started Iron Gold on April 1 and finished it on April 3, and I didn't get that one lmao. Claudius is the best!

@tgibridays Год назад

I read Iron Gold just a month and a half ago and I didn't recognize that at all. But to be fair, I don't think I could get any points if I did this with even the books I read just this year. 😂

@TheLibraryofAllenxandria Год назад

It's stupid hard and I hate it 😛

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

I think we should narrow it to one year. Maybe if we didn’t wait so long between this one and the next one hahaha.

23:11 - i know this...i have no idea how? Ok logical guess us Garden of Eden as I have nkt read it but could easily gave read the first page when purchasing and that is an Allen book unlike most of my others (apart from Pratchett but its not Pratchett) Final answer Unless this is from a Jeopody question that sticknin my brain for some reason 😂 ...ok 🫣

@ChattieTheMadChatter Год назад

😳...I do nkt even recognise the title! So why do I know that first sentence?????? Looking up the book now!

@ChattieTheMadChatter Год назад

I added that to my TBR after I think Canada's travelling book box - so one of them.must have read out the first sentence. No idea why it's stuck inside my brain though! 😂

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

Hi, Christina here! I am so sorry if any of our interactions were triggering or made you uncomfortable! I promise we have a very safe relationship. :) Allen has one volume (which is loud haha) but we have firm boundaries of no name-calling even when we’re legit arguing instead of this playful banter. And Allen and I are both very respectful of one another if we ever accidentally stray into sensitive territory and actually hurt one another’s feelings. But I could see how it might be uncomfortable to watch, especially if you have been in or have had close witness to relationships that weren’t safe.

@Mmm-xi7fx Год назад

Glad to hear all is well. I wasn’t triggered, just sticking up for a fellow sister. If Christina is cool then all is good. ❤️❤️

@christinak.walker9902 Год назад

@@Mmm-xi7fx Absolutely! We have to look out for one another. 🥰
