tbr jar picks my january tbr📖🫙

[@shimmer713]

Great video! I hope you do a wrap up of all the books you read last year. Those are my favorite!

[@bookswithellen]

that video is coming on the 8th!!!🥰

[@shimmer713]

@bookswithellen yay! Thank you for all of the great content.

Horror rec: You’re not supposed to die tonight by Kalynn Bayron (I think that’s the author’s name). It’s about some camp that does a horror simulation for visitors, but things go bad and some employees go missing. The end was so good. Another rec is The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood. There has been a murder and seventy-seven year old Judith Potts and two unexpected friends try to solve it. The plot twist was genius

[@readingobsessedRAH]

i LOVEEEE swordheart. i gave it 5 stars 🌟 def lives up to expectations!

[@nazrye3185]

Same!

[@fannitordai8799]

THE QUEEN HERSELF HAS POSTED what a beautiful Day🥳💞

[@Teeshayadav-yr6jl]

OMG you need to read The Deal...it was one of my favorite books of 2020 that i read!

[@rachelbosworth2438]

The favor has the prettiest cover I’ve seen in a long time

[@mickeyhank]

TBR jar picks are fun. 😊I like that you are doing some mood reading. Looks like potentially an outstanding lineup of books, nice diversity among them. I hope they come through for you and I look forward to seeing the vlogs. Happy New Year, Ellen! Thanks for all you do. Here's to everyone here having a great 2025, both with reading and outside of reading. 💪

[@joanikirbyhomes]

Yes 2025 is going to go real well! My advice: read Swordheart first then get to the other seven that you are really excited about. Start it when you are in a good mood, curl up under a blanket with a cup of tea or a glass of wine and put away your phone. Let me know if that works. Happy NewYear Ellen! 🎉

[@naziajasmintalukdar]

The Red Rising series is a good sci fi series that you can opt

[@chideraaye]

happy new year ellen! so excited for you to read the partner plot!

[@RiverMay0515]

I really liked bonded by thorns! I hope you enjoy it also!

[@BooksWithJudy]

ELLEN WEDNESDAY. I am so excited for all the books, they all sound so good

[@juliabouman2233]

Happy new year! Thank you for making the first day of the year amazing with another video✨🫶🏼

[@elliewhitt4888]

Currently reading Apprentice to the Villain. I fear I’ve completely fallen in love with that series.

[@chelseahatfield]

ellen I will personally hold you accountable for reading both apprentice to the villain and swordheart bc I’m dying to hear your thoughts 😅

[@sofiatorres2471]

Face off is sooooo good! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts!

[@Teeshayadav-yr6jl]

Happy new year ellen! may this be a great reading year for you

[@summerreadss]

Dead silence was one of my favorite books i read last year!

[@marereadss]

hi Ellen! I know you enjoyed "Better Hate Than Never" by Chloe Liese and the 3rd book is releasing towards the end of the month and I don't know why but it's the first book I thought of when you mentioned Jan 2025 releases to possibly pick from.. maybe because I'm excited for it lol 🙈 hope you have a good week! 💓

[@butterfly-angel25]

I always love your videos and the excitement you get finding out what you choose

[@zapisanekartki3845]

Gonna read Dead silence too! And for rec I have: Into the drowing deep (you don't need to read other part to understand this one). It was sooooo good and creepy

[@bookswithellen]

@@zapisanekartki3845 i have that on my physical tbr !! maybe i need to move it up to the top🤭🤍

[@normafromthenorth]

[@DinaraOtarkhan]

[@someone0353]

Oh gosh i'm so happyy i swear atm all of new videos in my subbed channel list have been the book rating ones i was so happy to see anything else😆and from my fav book reviewer

[@makyandherbooks]

You inspired me to start the off-campus series, I'm so excited 😍 Great video!

[@stephaniefl87]

So funny. I just started The Deal! I hope you read it this month and report back! Also I love your energy. My dad passed away last month and sending your energy especially on the New Year really helps. Thank you for being you! Love from Florida

[@nataliad1999]

What an unreal TBR!! Bonded by Thorns is also on my TBR and The Face Off was SO SO GOOD, it gave me the fake out vibes and the fake out is like one of my 6 star reads 💜 I can’t wait to hear your opinions on ALL these

[@ellaspencer3310]

Bonded by Thorns was my last read of 2024! It was a quick and spicy read and I'd recommend it. Just go into it knowing its not the best piece of literature ever written but it was a really fun time! Looking at the star reviews, the series only gets better!

[@bookswithellen]

@@nataliad1999 i’m SO EXCITED FOR THEM ALL i got such a good selection 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

[@gabsshelf]

wait im sooo excited for you to read the deal. surprisingly i LOOOVED it, but never continued with the series

[@lizzieslittlebooknook]

I've heard such good things about dead silence and I really want to read it

[@dandilion4429]

I read swordheart because you kept talking about it since I started watching your videos in april and I had the audiobook. So girl you’ve gotta read it

[@haliedarby]

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant was one of my favorite horrors I read this year! It isn’t science fiction horror in terms of being in space, but it is a science horror based on marine and biological science.

[@yunjinfilter]

Happy New Year Ellen !!! what a great way to start the year with an amazing new video from you 🥰

[@suppleleo]

Happy new year!❤

[@georgianichols3200]

I am screaming that you picked up Bonded by Thorns! It is a personal favourite

[@AmberWilcox-k9h]

I’ve read a book this week where it’s a three way open marriage sapphic romance and it’s amazing! It’s called triple sec

[@benevolentink3552]

I have a rec for sci-fi horror that sounds super similar to the one you picked out!! It's Into the Drowning Deep... it's got the disappearing ship and footage of weird creatures... I read it July time and it was soooo good and creepy!

[@Natschington]

Happy New year ellen :D Hope you had a great start into the year.

[@moonyloops]

the neighbour favour was kristina forests adult debut! she wrote a few ya books before that one!

[@elss.readss]

HAPPY NEW YEAR ELLEN!! and omg i loved the deal so much!! 5 stars easyyyy, i hope you end up loving it 🤍✨

[@bookswithellen]

[@juliacash8135]

I really hope you read and like Apprentice to the Villain. I loved it and it was one of my favorite reads in 2024.

[@AmeliaLaingFilms]

Love the look of this TBR! what a great one for January 2025!

[@tarynrobinson-jones3989]

I always love your videos but it always makes my tbr longer😂😂 Also so many of your books are on KU

[@giuliabricot]

[@giuliabricot]

I want to reread apprentice to the villain now 🧍🏻‍♀️ maybe I’ll wait for the last one to be out I can’t wait for you to read dead silence !

[@maddyrose13]

Happy New Year Ellen! 🎉

[@NicoletteJo22]

Hi Ellen! Happy new year!! I have been so in love with your content and channel over the past year. I was wondering if you could give me a recommendation for 2025. I’m open to any genre. Can’t wait to see all the new bookish videos from you this year ❤🎉

[@emerkinsella470]

Happy New Year 💗

[@CallMeNains]

Made my day to see a notification from Ellen! You are such a doll and always make me laugh and smile :)

[@bookswithellen]

@@CallMeNains lots of love🥹🤍

[@AnnaRak423]

Hey Ellen, I am going to challenge myself to read Swordheart and Apprentice to the Villain this month as well as I have had both for a while and it's time!! Happy New Year!! Great TBR stack! 🥰

[@bookswithellen]

Sci-fi horror recommendations: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer Event Horizon by Steven McDonald

[@chloemcloughlin5884]

I so happy 2025 has blessed me with your channel

[@nightingale_reads2198]

Happy new year 🎉

[@daniellewibalda]

I put off books that I think I’m going to love all the time 😂. I literally have an entire shelf of books that I’m positive are going to be five stars but I’m to scared to read

[@juliacash8135]

If you like swordheart then you should read the other series based in the same world. The first one is called Clockwork Boys.

[@mymonsterssoul]

Dead silence ❤❤❤❤ Thank you!!! It's an almost haunted house story set in space! Please also consider Starfish by Peter Watts, pure Sci fit horror xx

[@suppleleo]

Yayyyy sword heart! 😂

[@brookelynjones]

Happy New Year ❤

[@meganmicha_]

this is such a perfect way to start 2025!

[@MelHamilton-Brown]

Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is Sci-fi horror. Imagine Alien at sea with scary mermaids xx

[@jessieried7987]

OMG FIRST FIRST 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥳also why do u not do reading wrap upssss

[@shimmer713]

[@bookswithellen]
