[@danaorozco3247]

No better way to start the day than to open KZbin to an Ellen video 😩😩

[@bookswithellen]

hehehe love u!!!

[@ellarutledge6413]

Also a great way to end the day 😊

[@anjaz5292]

I completely agree with being frustrated when characters don't stand up for themselves, I always scream at them to just say what's bothering them😂 Also, I've noticed your nails, and I think they look so much better when you do them yourself🥹🥹

[@bookswithellen]

oh no i like this set of nails🥲 i’m taking a break from doing them myself so probs won’t have my own ones for a while!

[@anjaz5292]

They still look great. I think I just prefer your technique😅 Forgot to say, yes F1 these two races has been so boring. Hoping Australia race brings more excitement!

[@dekoalagirl6973]

I’m actually really glad to know that I’m not the only one who feels this way when characters don’t stand up for themselves

[@mangostrawberrysmoothe]

The f1 Little camo in this vlog was my favourite!! I definitely wanna read Emily Wildes books!! Also I can tell how frustrating all your Auto leaving from the clips. Anyway I indeed enjoy your videos!!

[@bookswithellen]

defo pick up emily wilde, it was so fun and comforting!! and thank you!!🤍🥰

[@areebajaved8145]

Watching your videos is always such a fun time Ellen 😌🩷

[@bookswithellen]

thank you🤍🥹

[@glaringdream1456]

What you said about two twisted crowns DEFINITELY made sense!!!!! i'm pretty sure I was in the same mindframe haha! kinda on a slump, just wanted to have been done reading it, but at the same time it was so good! and the romance made me feel a way too, it was just so masterful the way the author crafted the chemistry between them :D

[@bookswithellen]

literally!!! i’m so glad you relate hahaha, i ADORED the romance in this one so much🤍

[@pamelaparker9290]

I totally agree with you about F1. I'm not a Max Verstappen fan either but he dominates and wins practically every race. I was hoping this season would be different. Lately, I've been more interested in the off the track drama more than the actual races. I love your channel by the way.

[@bookswithellen]

it makes things very boring doesn’t it!! i like him as a person but never been a proper fan, would much rather a bit more of a mixture in terms of race winners🤣 and thank you!🤍

[@Turtledove2970]

I love watching you videos there so good and you’re so amazing .

[@Megan.A.Ells.]

Love the wrapped up videos! Please do more whenever you’re feeling into it. 🩵

[@bookswithellen]

i defo want to!! they’re so much fun to film🤭

[@clairelanser2080]

I really love your video's! They are amazing and I would love to see more wrrapped up book videos!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

definitely do more of these!

[@macinnismama]

Figuring out where you need to go for a future appointment is such an anxious girlie vibe. Definitely relate.

[@bookswithellen]

i literally do it aaaallllll the time😅 on top of also arriving to all my appointments like half an hour early hahaha

[@SealQueen]

I am really over the Max domination (have been for a year, let's be real 😆) I'd love to see someone else win for a change! I just want the season to get a bit more exciting and have a close fight. ANYWAY great video Ellen! I like your wrapped books videos 😊

[@bookswithellen]

LITERALLY!! i quite like him as a person but omg does it get boring when he consistently wins by such huge margins hahahaa

[@louisereads]

Feeling you on the life slump and living for rhe weekend 😅

[@hannahdearmond4647]

F1 and book girlies unite! I have to say, I'm a Max fan so I very much enjoy watching him sweep the field lol, but I also like Oscar! Who's your favorite driver(s)?

[@bookswithellen]

lando and charles are my two faves!! although i feel like i support half the grid hahahaha, i love most of the drivers

[@dancesbyk251]

I have been soo obsessed with your channel lately!!

[@bookswithellen]

thank you🥹

[@athenasbibliotheca8099]

I adored Emily Wilde last year and the I enjoyed the sequel even more. I still need to get to Two Twisted Crowns, but I loved One Dark Window. It's great you enjoyed your reads for the most part in this vlog! ✨

[@bookswithellen]

i’m so excited to get to the sequel!! im impatiently waiting for it to come out in paperback🤭

[@CallMeNains]

I totally understand what you meant about how you felt while reading Two Twisted Crowns! I get in these kind of half way reading slumps lol And I thought this was fun! Would love to see some more videos like this. :)💜

[@Jay-o1z5k]

These vids are literal perfection 💕

[@bookswithellen]

[@Cheeky622]

omgggg i'm actually early i luvvvv your vids so much inspired me to read a lot

[@bookswithellen]

that makes me so happy🥹

[@mycrypticthoughts]

Yay wrapped up videos ❤ love your book merch.. sooo adorable 😍

[@bookswithellen]

🥰🥰

[@sarawithbooks5316]

I feel like you'll really enjoy check and mate (I did so much omg) it IS YA but I felt like it didn't read like a YA at all. Also, I really love these wrapped up books videos and thought maybe you could do one with a certain theme somewhere in the future (if you'd like ofc).

[@bookswithellen]

oooh perfect, i’m so excited to read it!! and a theme would be really cool - do you have any theme ideas?🥰

[@sarawithbooks5316]

@@bookswithellen Maybe something like only wrapping romance books? Or during a season only adding seasonal books to the tbr. Or maybe add like 2 books that have been on your tbr for a long time. Hope this helps!

[@bookswithellen]

it’s so endearing you counted the books in front of the camera so we knew you weren’t joking as if we’d suspect you’d lie about that 😭😭 oh Ellen u gem 🫶🏼‼️

[@Jen_nyyy]

Now that you’ve read “The wall of Winnipeg and me” what are your rankings for the Mariana Zapata books you’ve read so far? or would you make a video for that?

[@bookswithellen]

oooh good question!! i think my ranking would be: 1) all rhodes lead here 2) from lukov with love 3) wall or winnipeg and me but they’re all 4 stars or above for me!! so really liked them all🤍

[@Jen_nyyy]

@@bookswithellen Thank you 🥺.. I just read “From Lukov with love” and as someone who’s not big on romance, I really liked her writing.. Adding the rest to my TBR! 🤞🫶

[@jessbaldwin]

I liked check n mate but don’t expect much romance when you go into it. xx

[@BooksStarringMissy]

I haven’t read the wall of Winnipeg but I definitely feel that way in other books where I just want them to say the issue like tell them what they did I want them to feel bad 😂

[@bookswithellen]

LITERALLY!! irritates me so much🤣

[@louisejames9064]

Emily wilde is such a pretty looking book ... may just have to pick it up based on that 🙈 Im glad that you were able to salvage the tapes for your videos! Should ask Ami for a book x F1 embroidered top 😉 No one will be upset if you don't upload exactly on your normal days - we are all human! I hate book slumps - when they happen i just take a break from reading or re read one of my favourite books. Hope you're able to get out of it soon 🤞 Also I love wrapped up videos - the element of not knowing what will be picked is exciting!

[@bookswithellen]

it’s so gorgeous isn’t it!! i really think you’d like it, very whimsical and fun, doesn’t take itself too seriously which is a nice change from super high fantasy!! and you might be onto something there with the f1 jumper🤭 book slumps are awful - i’ve picked up a fast paced romance since and it is going by super quick, so hopefully it’s dragging me out!!!

[@bencollier1047]

I think i’m also going through a slump at the moment!! Im currently reading acomaf and its good but I’m just not getting through it.

[@bookswithellen]

acomaf is my fave book ever!! i hope it picks up for you🫶🏻

[@elee_talks]

I just subscribed but I already love your videos !!!!!

[@bookswithellen]

thank you!!

[@elee_talks]

@@bookswithellen ☺️ just found out you are an f1 girlie as well !

[@BookswithKaitlyn]

I like the car clip. I think you should do it a little more often. Especially if you feel like you keep filming in the same 3 spots 😂 I love a good wrapped up video

[@BookswithKaitlyn]

also yes about the needing a trip out, for me my trip out is food shopping at Asda 🙃

[@bookswithellen]

mine is usually a trip to the big tesco🤣🤣

[@BookswithKaitlyn]

@@bookswithellen I went to a big Tesco today. Got a nice door mat that says welcome and has flowers round the border. Did I need it? Absolutely not.

alive and wells by bailey Hannah is such a good cowboy romance. she is a Indy author.

maybe you could use the month you started your channel as an "excuse" to do wrapped up reading vlogs oder when you hit a certain amount of followers:) (if u want to) I love your channel and I am obsessed with your videos recently💗

[@bookswithellen]

omg such a cool idea!! thank you!!

[@agohl85]

I've been in a weird book slump for like the last 2 years...I have some deteriorating health problems and I've found that the worse I feel, all I want to read is books that have nothing to do with reality at all and I used to love so many genres.... So I guess its not a total book slump, but yet, it still does feel like a book slump because I want to want to read all of these books and yet, I just have no motivation to read them....if that makes sense. And I know just what you mean because I just forced myself to finish up my library books so I could take them back and I felt the exact same way - objectively, they were all really good, I just did not want to be reading them, lol.

[@coffeeeandskies]

Ellen will u do Feb+March reading wrap up???

[@bookswithellen]

i’ll be doing a march one for sure!! not sure about feb🫶🏻

[@raqperalta]

I’ll pick up Emily wildes book again It took a while for me to get into it too

[@daniellewibalda]

I just read Check & Mate and I really enjoyed it, but definitely don’t go into it expecting a lot of romance 😅, there’s not as much as her other books.

[@bookswithellen]

hhahaha thank you i will keep that in mind🫡

[@BooksWithJudy]

also congrats on 15k
