Joint CEOs of clear skin

your guy’s energy together is so comforting

Y'all ever feel the need of peace in your lives...welcome to ✨the world of benji and chris✨

Am I the only who feels bitterly envious watching such an endearingly sweet & cute gay couple? 😅

I just literally saw a 40 mins video posted on chris's channel and a tear of happiness rolled down my eyes🤌🏻✨🥹

Please DO swap books again! That was very entertaining 40minutes!

yaaaaaaayyyyyy our dads are back!!!

I loved this. Intelligent conversation about reasonably good reads.

Piranesi is one of my favorite books of all time. Susanna Clarke literally came and slapped me and made me dig my own grave, sit in it and read the book out loud while she smoked and held a gun to my head. After i finished it she shot me dead and then she buried me. After the first ray of sunshine i came back alive and made my way out of the grave. Thanks to Susanna Clarke i'm a new person now. It's quite scary what she is capable of.

babe, wake up, new chris' library video just dropped!

Its 12.30am where I am. I have work tomorrow, but you can bet that i'm gonna watch this 41min 17 seconds video right now.

I'm just smiling the whole time watching you two.🥰

Ok, I will start to read books for fun again, not just work books. You guys are so cute🤩 (This video called me single in 5 different languages)

I am a huge Piranesi fan! That is an elite book right there. Also, you both are so cute together.

I'm so glad this was suggested to me out of the blue, you both have such great energy

nice video. You both have calming voices, but you still get so much excitement across. I skipped a bit of the The Emperor's Soul review, but just because I put in on my tbr to read it myself.

loved everything about this video!! please continue!

Both of your tastes in books: impeccable

omg thank you for saving my day i needed my comfort youtubers 😭😭😭💖

I’m so glad to see a new video from you!

i read like the first 40 pages of piranesi and gave up too,,, maybe this a sign to get back to it 🤧

I’ve loved Benji for years I had no idea you guys were together😭❤️❤️

It's lovely to see you back. Looking forward to more content. Best.

aaaa you guys inspire me a lot!! will be reading everything you guys listed :3

aww i loved this long vid of book yapping!! i'd love to see more in the future :D u two are effortlessly funny i found myself giggling throughout hahah; welcome back to youtube chris :D!

I just thoroughly enjoyed this!!!

I really enjoyed this so much. I have to say that for me at a young age I read mythology books and the classics, then as i grew up my tastes expanded into mysteries and fiction novels. My younger brother was the one that got me into science fiction novels as I was not to interested in them for a long time. I think it was when I had finished high school and I was a little bored that he gave me a science fiction book to read. Now I have a varied library of books but I really enjoy mysteries very much.

Chris is so cute. I love his personality/shyness 😂❤

Yes, you absolutely should do this again!

This become my comfort video. For Anytime. Thank you!

Chris is like a shy person.. so cute

Please you both are so adorable 😭 I'm obsessed ❤️

Hello! following both you and so proud of you both, because of your relationship and what we can know you from your videos and sharing. Thank you for sharing your lives and interests with us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰

A 40-min VIDEO??? YES PLEASE!!!

I loved this, Ihope y'all do this again!

your videos are always so refreshing (and ruin my wallet with these book recs)

i started reading more books because of your chanel 🪴 you two look so cute together btw 🥰 more videos to come 💫

I can't believe i watched the whole video without even knowing it was 40 minutes lol...love this energy✨✨

Good to see you again Chris. No need to be nervous Chris, you're doing great! Hey Benji😊

I have been waiting for a long time to see you both doing book-related content and I am really enjoying it as much as I can! If you ever want to get started with poetry (which is definitely shorter than most novels) I would like to recommend to both of you "Night sky with exit wounds" by Ocean Vuong. All I can say is that I bought it by accident on amazon 😅 and as someone who is not experienced at all with poetry I fell in love with it.

Just an idea, but wouldn't it be nice if Chris carried out a bookclub, or something of that sort? Like recommended a book to viewers and in 1 or 2 month's time released a video talking about the book? something pretty chill I'd love that

why am I smiling the entire video??? 🥹

We definitely want another swap video

i really love and appreciate the calmness of your videos

Hi Chris.... I subscribed to your channel and noticed a while back you had some content but am glad to see you are adding new content. Take your time and build up at a pace that suits you BUT we book readers look forward to your perspective. I'm an old man and love that you and Benji can pursue your dreams doing thing you love and still live well. 🙏

CHRIS NEEDS TO TAKE BENJI TO LONDON TO SEE THE PLAY BASED ON THE BOOK....OCEAN AT THE END OF THE LANE......

:0 Mistborn is so cultured of your boyfriend dude, all the books he mentioned really are amazing

Omg you are so adorable 🥰🥰 it was the coziest 41 minutes of my life!

Hi Chris & Benji, you should read the book entitled "The Graveyard Book", this is also written by Neil Gaiman. Basically a young boy hangs out in a graveyard to evade a man who has murdered his family. Whilst there he makes friends with the dead people who are buried there. An amazing book😊

Woaaahhhhh! New vid!

I don't really care for the books but you guys have such a sweet, calming energy

My wait is over... Yay!

I'm glad I read Piranesi already because there were quite a bit of spoilers in that synopsis 😂😂😂 you two are so cute.❤❤

i dont read books, but after watching this video i have the urge to become a bookworm again :) this was such a fun concept! cant wait for more videos

I Love you guys and Theo! I did not even know you had your own Channel Chris! Why didn't I??? Ofcourse I subscribed to your Channel!! Love yas!!! Going to settle in and Enjoy this Video! Thankyou! ❤🐾📚🌿🇨🇦

Piranesi is so so good!

Love to see more video's on your channel❤❤

Awww u guys my favourites 😭

Fun video! Look forward to next one!

i love yalls pet chihuahua so cute 😊

Its always fun to read as well be with people who read.😀 I love reading fiction. Sometimes I too just stop reading...many a times the author seems to disappoint or has a completely different style of writing. But eventually I come back and continue ...

Love your videos❤❤

36:09 that little laugh 😂😂 . . . . Thanks for sharing.

omg, your boyfriend's vlog in vietnam was recommended to me now this video is recommended to me, cuteee.

Have you all read any Tanya French? I think you would love them. My fav is “The Likeness”.

I looove both of you i feel like u guys are my kids ❤❤❤❤

My favourite kind of videos

i have been hearing so much about piranesi recently! maybe i should finally pick it up…

Swap again in a future video plz! Would be interested to see how your recommendations develop having done this video 📚

Yay thank you for the vid I liked it a lot yayy

this was a fun little challenge!

omg Piranesi is sooo so good.

Oh my! The Ocean at the end of the lane... I totally forgot about this book, I read it a long time ago and it was such a weird experience I though I was the only one x) I feel weirdly happy to share this feeling

I am reading Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher and it was a recommendation from Fern. Its very different than what I have read but I am enjoying it.

Would love to see your reaction to mistborn! I just finished it, and have mixed feelings about it. I love the way sanderson writes both magic systems and action scenes, they're super engaging. But I don't enjoy the way he writes characters and dialogue. The characters feel flat and stereotypical, and the story feels very reverse engineered, which has pros and cons. Everything fits into place super satisfyingly at the end, but it sometimes feels like everything is moving along like clockwork because the story demands it. As opposed to something like game of thrones, where it feels like the characters actions and motivations push things along to a greater degree. But i guess reverse engineering your story has the major benefit that the books get finished and wrapped up nicely. *cough cough* George R.R. Martin

You guys are so cute❤

I really liked Piranesi. I actually read it again a second time not long after I finished it the first time

You guys speak in lowercaps and I find it so soothing ✨😌✨

40:15 . . . . “What” 😂

Finnaaallyyyyyy

Did you know there's a tunnel in the ocean at the end of the lane boulevard

I loooved Ocean at the End of the Lane but it's probably because I thrive off of surrealism and such. I thought the first and last chapter where he is older could have been left out completely, it feels out of place and like you said makes you expect something different.

Have they read "A Little Life" yet? 😥 I'm not much of a reader really, but it's one of the few experiences where I can still feel the characters. 😭 Such an amazing (and difficult) read.

Have either of you guys read The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy perchance? A truly great piece of modern literature that is simultaneously sweeping and intimate

My ex made me read the Mistborn books, and... meh, I agree they were interesting, but I found them to be pretty boring. I've tried a lot of Sanderson people rave about him, but I've always just found them to be like... okay. A solid, 3/5 stars, no desire to ever read them again.

The co-holders of the world's prettiest smiles title are having a book club moment.

Have you read A Little Life? It sounds somewhat like the last book Chris recounted. You both are so cute together, so enjoyable to watch.

YASSSSS

Yaaaay 🎊
