I think this is my tenth comment on this video but still we need to appreciate how u always have videos lines up uploaded on time and well edited well filmed they have the best content ever and you also work full time so nice of you

[@lulun1669]

I don't know how she does it!!!

[@louisejames9064]

Honestly she is so consistent it is amazing ❤❤❤

[@sarawithbooks5316]

The way you talk about these books makes me consider buying ones I've never even thought of buying 😂

[@amihanbyann]

Same! My Amazon cart is piling up. 🫣

[@bxllapovey]

I'm finally back into reading again and that means I'm back to booktube. I missed you ellen!!! Love you ❤

[@OMGitz_Iris]

An hour-long book unboxing by Ellen? This made my day Btw here are 2 book recs House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig. Its a mystery and I love it! The Night Hunt by Alexandra Christo. Mythology, action, romance, and my all-time favourite book!

[@rue.h05]

9:52 OMG!! I screamed when you pulled this book out! I love this trilogy SO MUCH!! (My favourite character is Orka) I was also new to his writing when I read this book and started with Shadow of the Gods even tho I have also heard that his other series is really good. I would say start with this one because for me I see it less of a commitment because the other series I think has 5 book rather than three and his storytelling is one the epic fantasy, heavy side with a very wide cast but SUCH RICH mythology. I hope you come to fall in love with series as much as I have!!

[@tamoumoune]

An hour of u talking about books 💕💕💕

[@RachieSSays]

all of us USA watchers who immediately looked up the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversions because 25/29 degrees sounds cold not hot lol

[@elss.readss]

so glad i was able to buy some books off your wishlist and i hope that you love them just as much as behind the net and the fake out

[@melissabrick4214]

The sundown motel is SO GOOD! Please read this in a vlog, Ellen! Love your videos so much, you’re amazing!🩷🩷

[@cadencebrandner3443]

Almost an hour long?? We've been blessed!!

[@AnouksBookNook]

These hauls always make me so excited to watch. It’s just so lovely to see you get so giddy and excitable over all these books. I’ve seen some really good picks in there so I hope you’ll have a blast reading them all 🫶🏻🫶🏻

[@blimeyifancyreading]

Ellen, that was the most satisfying sound, tearing off an Amazon packaging!!! You are such a sweet person!

[@ItsMissEmmaL]

I just love your videos Ellen! They're so comforting and feel like I'm hanging out with a friend talking about books. 💜xoxo Emma

[@Kenzzz1441]

The shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne is the perfect place to start with his works. Also the Bloodsworn saga is AMAZING!! I’m truly upset that I have to wait till October for the final book to come out 😢 the characters will make you go through every emotion possible and still yearn for more.. simply amazing

[@olliereadss]

ELLEN WEDNESDAY!!! UGH i love it here

[@KendraClark-p1n]

Tfs. I look forward to hearing reviews from you from all the books you read and I’ve added a few to my tbr. Btw I enjoy watching your videos.

[@charleewalton9389]

The Shadow of the Gods is one of my all time favourite books. This was my first of his and then I went on to read Malice which is up there with my all time favourite books 🤣 incredible fantasy author, you'll be hooked!

[@daphne.readsnl]

I love these unboxings bc I get so many book recs to add to my wishlist 😍

[@UtterlyReading]

John Gwynne's books are absolutely incredible. Malice is book 1 to his first series, faithful and the fallen, and it's amazing. One of my all time favorite books. His a Time of Dread books are based in the same world as the Faithful and the Fallen so its more of a spin off series. And finally The Bloodsworn Trilogy- Shadow of the Gods is a seperate series that he is writing, and book 3 finally comes out the end of October (I can't wait!!) so starting with shadow of the gods or malice will get you on the right track with this amazing author! Love your videos and cant wait for you to read those (and hopefully love them)!!!

[@mstanforda]

You are the sweetest individual on this platform 🥹 I look forward to the day that I finally send you a book 🫶🏻 WE LOVE YOU ELLEN

The Last Unicorn is my comfort book/movie. It's so cute.

[@IsabellaCalderon-h2n]

Hi!! This is my first time watching one of your videos and I must say the combination of your voice and the pure joy is so enlightening and I love books just as much! I can’t wait to watch more! I’m so blessed to have stumbled across your page! 😊

This is my first ever video I watched from your channel I’m a new subscriber! I’m also a new reader as well I’m obsessed with reading now my first ever book I’m reading is Powerless by Lauren Roberts I made it chapter 20 and omg I’m loving it so far! Can’t wait for my reading journey to continue!

[@MalinVestergren]

ohh I hope you enjoy Dance of Thieves! That duology is sooooooo good!!

[@lilsgraf]

i ADORED she drives me crazy !! it was a 4star for me last year, excited to see your thoughts 🩷

[@suppleleo]

An hour of Ellen! This made my day. ❤

[@hristinanikolaeva9967]

'Dance of thieves' is sooo good. It has a strong fmc (who also has her soft spots and weaknesses), morally gray mmc, found family (which I ADORE🤭), amazing banter between the love interests, but also very interesting politics and world building, and so much more. Really looking forward to you reading it and telling us all your thoughts and feelings towards it. Also, just want to say that I love your videos and always get super excited when I see you've posted a new one. Safe to say, you're one of my (if not the most favourite booktuber)!🤭😌 Lots of love, bestie🫶🏻

[@lizziejackson2529]

Shadow Of The Gods is def the better place to start with John Gwynne. It's a lot simpler to understand and less epic than his Faithful And The Fallen series (at least imo) the latter is more widely renowned by high fantasy lovers and is often ranked high in lists of all time best fantasy series, but the world in Shadow Of The Gods is amazing, and I just love that we follow STRONG female characters🙂

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

This may be silly to ask, but is there romance in his books?🤔

[@sarawithbooks5316]

Maybe you could do a video sometimes 'reading the smuttiest books on my tbr' 😂😂 wouldn't be a hardship because you have a lot already lol. (I'm guilty of having too many too smutty books as well don't worry)

[@sarawithbooks5316]

Or like most scandalous reads, unhinged reads for a better title, feel like that won't get monotized as fast

[@kylie_ve]

Yay I’m so excited for you to read The Ever King! It’s my absolute favorite!! And I’m super excited for you to read Dust Storm and Downpour!

[@ketasar2278]

I just came across this channel and she looks like the most genuine book tuber !!

[@BooksWithJudy]

We love a good long book haul. We need the extended version though, as we said in the discord lmao.

The nightingale is on my August tbr can't wait to read it! I'm seeing so many books I want to read in your video Ellen 👏❤️

[@slysloth96]

As someone who really wants to start a booktube account, I'd love it if you could share any advice for starting and what to use! I adore your content

[@juliacash8135]

I think you should do a new video showing us everything on your TBR now. You’ve got a lot more new things now. I’d love to also know the total number of all of them.

[@bookswithellen]

i need to do an updated physical tbr !!

[@juliacash8135]

@@bookswithellen you should do a book haul first before with anything you have gotten since the last book haul no matter how small.

I’ve read two Maggie Gates books and have loved them both. Dust Storm is on my TBR for this month. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts

[@thefallybear]

Oh the queens cove series!!! Heard so many good things about those books!

[@patriciasierra1388]

Quicksilver is amazing! 10 stars! Acotar has been my favorite series for a few years and i never thought any book could ever dethrone it but Quicksilver is really up there almost a tie and if the second book is just as good I think it may top acotar.

[@nicolejmm]

i've read the honey witch recently and it was so good! such a cute read i loved it

[@jana_nel2000]

A new video from Ellen makes my day!!!!

[@xtayerx]

50mins??? What a great day!

[@Bewikki]

I heard that it’s okay to start with the Shadow of the Gods instead of the Malice books. Heard people say that it’s a good introduction to his books

[@theresea.k5749]

The disciplin you have is astonishig. As soon as I get a book package I rip it open like a 5 y/o on Christmas

[@Becka7598]

For a fantasy rec I suggest Robin Hobb's books, starting with Assassin's Apprentice 😊💕

I think we need a new physical tbr video ❤😊

[@lisabrijeski3425]

Downpour was amazing!

[@Brynnsbookishlife]

You are going to have to get a new bookshelf soon😂

[@astoldbykat]

Some dragon fantasies I'd recommend are the Temeraire series by Naomi Novik (I've only read book 1 so far, but it was SO good and kind of wholesome), and a more classic series, The Dragonriders of Pern by Anne McCaffrey.

[@lvxartist]

we had to read a ruta sepetys book for school and gurl was it painful, but i enjoyed it A LOT overall. In case you haven't read it yet, I totally recommend it!! It's Between Shades of Gray

[@bookswithellen]

i read that one years ago too!! you unlocked a memory for me there🤣🤍

[@SugarHigh123]

New viewer here so I’m not sure if this has been mentioned before but If you’re looking for sapphic romance, I highly recommend Those Who Wait by Haley Cass.

[@bookswithellen]

oooh i’ve not heard of that one!! i will add it to my tbr🥰

So glad I found your channel!! X

[@stopandsmelltheroses_98]

The Ex Vows isn’t out in Australia until November 😭 although I’m debating spending possibly a ridiculous about of money compared to what it would cost getting it locally and instead ordering it from overseas and just paying the dumb shipping because I think our publisher’s version is going to have one of those silly things where they print “From the author of” in a little circle with a picture of you with a view and that annoys me so much cause it looks like a sticker 😂 thanks for reading my rant if you made it to here.

I think I found one it’s part of a three book series looks like it’s up your alley dark romance. It’s a three book series Called gods of Asgard series by Melody rose 1. God of Mischief 2.the Thunder god 3. Guardians of Asgurad .

[@bookswitherinhib2741]

Second comment- I read the haunting Adeline series and read Satans affair after the duology and i don’t think it matters when you read it but the ending of the novella has a small scene from the main books
