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
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. 💪
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! 🎉
Happy new year my love, I'm currently really sick with the winter bug going around and seeing a vid from besties Ellen, sara carroli and larry has really made my day. Love u loads Ellen, keep on shining girl ❤
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
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.
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
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
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! 💓
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
I loved The Deal when I read it a few years ago I never continued with the series so really should do a re-read I really liked Dead Silence and really need to read more of their work Good luck with your Tbr
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
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!
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!
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
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 ❤🎉
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! 🥰
Great video! I hope you do a wrap up of all the books you read last year. Those are my favorite!
that video is coming on the 8th!!!🥰
@bookswithellen yay! Thank you for all of the great content.

The Red Rising series is a good sci fi series that you can opt
Currently reading Apprentice to the Villain. I fear I’ve completely fallen in love with that series.

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

@@AnnaRak423 happy new year anna!!!
Yayyyy sword heart! 😂
If you like swordheart then you should read the other series based in the same world. The first one is called Clockwork Boys.
Sci-fi horror recommendations:
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
Event Horizon by Steven McDonald
Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant is Sci-fi horror. Imagine Alien at sea with scary mermaids xx
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
OMG FIRST FIRST 🫶🏻🫶🏻🥳also why do u not do reading wrap upssss
Yes! I wish she did them too.
i used to do them but i had feedback saying they were a tad pointless because i review all the books in my vlogs!! so i stopped 🫶🏻

@@lillyoloughlin3127 YUUUUUUPPP HEHEHEE
Face off was a five star for me, he's so down bad for her ❤
