[@mayapaul8207]

Oh myyyy 2 books in 2 days!! We have been blessed🤩😂 your videos honestly make my day and I wholeheartedly trust any recommendations you give us. Please don’t leave us for 2 months again🥺

[@ellias]

don't get used to it haha

[@dara-renee]

I love everything about this video and ilysm 💜 cant wait to see your vlog!

[@eyreheadrebekah]

I love this! 😂 I want all tbr videos to be off the cuff, this was so funny. I was laughing so hard the second time you chose The House in the Cerulean Sea 😂

[@brittanykelley1450]

The House in the Cerulean Sea is a beautiful book that made me so happy when I read it (and still fills me with warm, fuzzy feelings, when I think about it)! I recommend the audiobook. Also, if you haven't read TJ Klune's The Tales of Verania series before, I highly recommend it. The first book is called The Lightning-Struck Heart, it's the gayest, most fabulous thing I've ever read, and the audiobooks narrated by Michael Lesley are my favorite audiobook series ever! I'm planning to start rereading the series later this month. I have two book club picks that I need to get to this week and which I hope will meet most of the challenges: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

[@ellias]

OHI KNOW!!! I JUST READ IT. LOVE IT. SO MUCH. it's definitely a new favorite!

[@cryingaboutbooks]

1:14 I’m absolutely howling 👌🏼😂

[@AnikaFuloria]

two vids in two days? YES!

[@ellias]

[@LilyCReads10]

Hahaa this video is like looking in mirror! Good luck next week, i believe in u

[@denisecrane9688]

The House in the Cerulean Sea 🥰 I CANNOT WAIT!! T.J. Klune is the best

[@ellias]

LOVE HIM

[@bakhtawarkhan2137]

The birds and stone part 😂😂😂 I laughed too hard 😂😂😂😂

[@louisity]

The Girl With The Louding Voice is already in my Goodreads to-read list. 😄 You were meant to read The House Of The Cerulean Sea, which is I believe the first book I saw written by TJ Klune. 🌊📘

[@leticiaalexandre846]

Oh my god this is the first video of your channel that I watch and I already love it so much you are so great and funny!!!!

[@dylanre96]

Literally me af when I’m not in the mood to read a certain book.. lets do it again 😂

[@ItsDaniDee]

We have the same birthstone! Haha. I was confused with that question too at first lol. Good luck!

[@lamenteaffilata]

I loved this spontaneous video, one of my favorites of your videos! I made a tbr, this will be my first reading rush and i'm italian, so it's pretty weird because nobody do it here.

[@christiantitus11]

Yohoooo!!!! Consecutive Ellias videos!!!! Smooth days...🔥🔥

[@operativealyssa]

Ellias is such a mood in choosing his TBR for the reading rush. I was also the same. Hahaha. Tried to include as many prompts as I can into one book.

[@ChrislynReadsWithPugs]

The House in the Cerulean Sea is AMAZING! I just recently read this and it was my first T.J. Klune book and it definitely won’t be my last! Hope you enjoy! Good luck with your TBR!

[@denisecrane9688]

You should try Wolfsong by him! But really, all his books are fantastic ☺️

[@ellias]

@@denisecrane9688 YES

[@ellias]

YES READ WOLFSONG BUT ALSO I LOOOOOOOOOV HOUSE IN THE CERULEAN SEA SO MUCH 😭

[@racheldavid2089]

Hey Ellias! Thanks for recommending A Burning. I'm Indian and have not heard of this book. It's brilliant. Captures a developing country perfectly. We have incidents that are similar to George Floyd and all the other lives you guys have protesting for. This book captures how we do nothing, absolutely nothing about the police brutality here. Great recommendation, thanks again :)

[@kamilakay4474]

ahhh thanks for the laughs lmao. I want to read A Burning!!

[@RubyRaeReads]

omg house of the cerulean sea TWICE and "kill stones with one bird" omggg DEAD

The House in the Cerulean Sea also has 1.purple on the cover (I think? It looked like that), 2. 'The' in the title. And you touched it first, and you can read it outside. Just saying.
