“and who says romance is dead” LISTEN- you got me good miss ellen 🤣

[@bookswithellen]

😭🤣🤣🤣

[@AmeliaLaingFilms]

i 100% agree about whos afraid of little old me gives me fantasy vibes 🙂

[@bookswithellen]

feels so throne of glass to me!!!

[@AmeliaLaingFilms]

@@bookswithellen I’ve not read that yet but need to read very soon but I’ve heard loads of people say that which is making me want to read it so much x

[@SamChristine]

I’m glad you ended up enjoying Pucking Around! Next there is another novella (Pucking ever after) which is just bonus chapters/an extended epilogue. And then Pucking Wild follows different characters which I think I liked more than Pucking around

[@bookswithellen]

oooh i didn’t know about the other novella!! i defo need to check that out

[@rue.h05]

Favourite TTPD songs; 1.Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me 2. The Alchemy 3. So Long, London 2. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 4. I Hate It Here 5. The Prophecy: her writing is my favourite in this one - that bridge!!

[@bookswithellen]

omg you have TASTE!!!

[@rue.h05]

@@bookswithellen omg thank you so much!! you have one idea how big of a compliment that it for me 🤍🤍

[@crobichaud]

With TTPD I think the more you listen the better it is. My first impression was not good but I’ve been nonstop listening and I’ve liked it more and more

[@bookswithellen]

agree 100000%!!! i defo liked it upon first listen but it’s grown and grown on me. think the fact that it was a double release also overwhelmed me a tad🤣 so once i was able to properly listen and digest i understood it more!!

[@BetweenThePagesWithLouLou]

Same😊

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Sara and Ellen posting today! Ah, what a treat!

[@bookswithellen]

hehehe love u!!

[@Schokihonig]

I think you're really going to like these hollow vows! I recently read it and it was very similar to ACOTAR, as far as your jumpers tell me you're a big fan of that series, so i think that's going to be your piece of pie!

[@bookswithellen]

i’m SO excited to get to it!! everyone has said i’m gonna love it🤭 makes me even more eager to pick it up

[@jessicajessica4392]

@@bookswithellen I saw the ACOTAR vibes but it reads VERY YA. I personally was not a fan because of that, but as YA books are usually not your cup of tea, it would be good to get into it knowing it reads super YA.

[@bookswithellen]

@@jessicajessica4392 ooooh thank you for letting me know!!

Your vids bring me sm joy, been absolutely loving the long vids!!

[@Sof_rha]

Your vids are super comforting, sending you lots of love!❤

I LOVE so long london, who's afraid of little old me, the prophecy, I can do with a broken heart. The prophecy also reminds me of a fantasy novel!

[@lvlup17]

hey ellen!! my friend and i are doing a book challenge and one of my little “challenges” is asking a booktuber for a book rec and reading it, could you give me one? i mainly read romance, summer-like, fantasy, or fantasy. thank you so much!! i love your content🫶🏽

[@AnnaRak423]

Hey Ellen! Thanks for another great video! My TBR is always growing after I watch. I am currently reading Delilah Green Doesn't Care and really enjoying it so far. After that will be ACOMAF, which I know is one of your favourites. I have so many waiting to be read but that's a great challenge to have. Happy Sunday to you and Pep! 🥰

[@bookswithellen]

ooh i read delilah green a few years ago and loved it!! i have my fingers firmly crossed that you’ll like ACOMAF as well, my fave book of all time!! hope you have a great week🤍

[@ajjj222]

my opinions on books are always similar to yours so seeing you enjoying yourself reading pucking around and knowing i'll have that book (and Happy Medium) on tuesday hits different! as someone who doesn't read analyzing the book i know i'll have a great time either way ahahahah

[@bookswithellen]

hehehe i hope you love it!!!!

[@A-nr6ix]

I never comment on anything but since i‘ve discovered you, youre my comfort youtuber🫶🏻 I love how consistent you are and always look forward to your videos!!

Adored this video Ellen, as always. Just ordered 2 new sweatshirts (OUABH and Powerless), could have bought the whole store they’re so pretty 😍 thank you for sharing & for the discount code 💓

[@bookswithellen]

they’re so gorgeous aren’t they!!!🥰🤍

[@ecr.7695]

One's reading experience/mood is an important part in rating a book, even if one doesn't recognize it. Thus, if one rated a book higher than someone else, that's okay. The most important/key point is one's own experience and that's it. Have a great end to this month, Ellen 🙏💛!

[@BetweenThePagesWithLouLou]

Swifty girly over here. So do as much Taylor as you want. It’s your channel 😊

[@BooksWithJudy]

I love your videos, always. I have never read a Mariana Zapata book but because of you I bought two. Luckily not Under Locke XD. I also have these hollow vows on my tbr, need to read it at some point as well

[@bookswithellen]

and i love you for being here, always!!! i hope you end up loving them!! i’ve loved all of them other than under locke so i have high hopes🤣

[@madhuk9135]

Ahhhh you are feeding us with these long videos. I enjoyed watching these last two vids so much!

[@bookswithellen]

thank you so much!!

[@eri_reads8262]

YAY a break video from my finals work!!!! God I love this!

[@bookswithellen]

good luck with your finals!!!

[@leoniesliberi]

my top two fav TTPD songs are My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived (THAT BRIDGE IS INSANE). I do love the album, it‘s not my new fav (I fear that will always be folklore and 1989) but it‘s really good 🖤

[@sylwiaoles8686]

it's not my fav album too, but i love a lot of songs! those are mine fav: - The smallest man who eve lived - Who's afraid of little old me? - But daddy i love him - Clara bow - The black dog - The prophecy - Florida - I hate it here

[@bookswithellen]

you have GREAT taste!!

Pretty bag, indeed and what a perfect gift it would make! Sadly, I am not a TS fan LOL Happy reading!

[@melodiev9253]

I love your videos! I was literally crying laughing when you described the farting scene.

[@bookswithellen]

honestly i was in SHOCK😭😭🤣

[@justynastanley]

Your makeup is always looking so flawless 😍 what blush you use because it is stunning ❤

[@bookswithellen]

thank you so much!! i use the elf camo liquid blush and just put LOADS on !!!

[@justynastanley]

What shade do you use coral crush or more of the pink shades 😉

[@bookswithellen]

@@justynastanley i use ‘dusty rose’ i think it’s called!!

[@louisejames9064]

We are spoilt, 46 minutes! I love long videos so this is perfect 🤩 I feel 2014 romance was a different era 😅 I feel like I have never found a book that does repetition well, I recently read Slaughterhouse 5 and in 177 pages "so it goes" is mentioned 106 times 🥴

[@bookswithellen]

omg that would drive me INSANE🤯🤯 did you like it overall? it’s my dads favourite book so i’ve always been intrigued!!

[@louisejames9064]

@@bookswithellen oh no I found it one of my worst reads so far this year, I did settle on a 2.25 I think there are better anti war books out there like all quiet on the western front by Erich Maria Remarque. I just found it disjointed and not well written 🙈

[@iveuteen]

idk why but i haven’t been the biggest fan of taylor’s new music, i liked some midnights song but for ttpd its not my favorite 😢 im a big fearless, reputation and speak now fan so i think that kinda speaks for itself

[@lo3896]

no because reading under locke right after reading luna and the lie which i enjoyed sm… to day i was disappointed is an understatement 😭😭😭 i was so sad i gave it a 2 stars i literally love marianna zapata :((

[@bookswithellen]

i was so shocked how much i disliked it, was SO different to all of her others that i’ve read!!😭😭

[@KiraKiera]

I was wheezing at your description of the farting scene 😂

[@bookswithellen]

honestly i was in SHOCK🤣😭😭

[@readingtillnight4604]

I would have definitely dnf under lock, I am starting to being more critical towards my books because the time wasted on a 2.5 book I would have read something better 😊

[@bookswithellen]

i was SO close to giving up on it but thought i’d power through for the video!!

[@ninijournal2878]

I did read "that one night" and gave it 3.5⭐️ was actually really good but "Pucking around" was so bad I hated the writing style 😭😭 gave it 2⭐️

[@agohl85]

I didn't love "The Simple Wild" either. It was a 3 stars for me. And I actually thought it was the best book of the series.

[@CallMeNains]

For some reason the premise reminds me of that Lifetime movie with Leann Rimes lol

[@insanebutterfly3439]

Sending love from Newfoundland. Canada.

[@zeenatpatel1650]

MZ's earlier works were not good at all. I recommend reading them in publishing order as characters and places appear in other books as you go along.

[@naomiking7518]

❤❤❤

[@CallMeNains]

That's exactly why I have never done a TBR, I would change my mind and end up not reading any of them. lol

[@bilhawere7720]

This is me every month, I make a tbr for the books I was in the mood for that time I made it, then later I'm in a totally different mood, but yk as long as you read and enjoy what you want !!!

[@sophiejanec]

Not me quickly taking under locke off my tbr😂😂😂

[@bookswithellen]

it’s not worth it at all🤣🤣

[@syranoemi5679]

I considered reading Simple Wild because they say many good things about the book but the plot of a city girl going to a small town is not for me. I've read the third book in the series Running Wild and I really like it, there are glimpses of the MCs in Simple Wild there and they're not my cup of tea so I won't read there book. Sorry✌

[@bookswithellen]

oooh maybe i’ll check out running wild then!! something about the ‘privileged’ city girl in a small town trope just irks me!! glad it’s not just me🤣

[@crypticgembooks]

i would've dnf under locke at tge part where he calls her a bïtch.. i hate that and the farting scene ugh i couldn't

[@Turtledove2970]

I’m a swiftie but I’m not like a MEGA swiftie .

[@Akari_reads]

Girly,you just read pucking around which is literally all smut. But you dont like binding 13 and once upon a broken heart? Respectfully,what?😭 (and im not hating tho,i like your videos and stuff. Just kinda weird...)

[@bookswithellen]

i’ve noticed you’ve left a few comments like this and i usually just remove them but it’s getting a bit much now. they definitely don’t come across as respectful - we are allowed to like any books we want. that’s the point of reading. please can i ask that you stop leaving comments like this or i’ll need to block you -thanks!

omg you got a sponsor 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 so happy for you
