AHH now you’re over 12k 🥰 so so so happy for you and you’re going to keep growing 🫶🏼 love your content and genuine excitement for the books you adore!!!
Congrats on 12k!💞 I have to say that when it comes to hockey romances (or just sports romances in general), mm romances are just superior to me. Like, they are teammates and/or rivals *gasp*, they share a room when away for games, it's forbbiden, there can be that famous scene where one of them gets hurt during the game and the other just goes feral over it etc. lol
@@LiLe296 I have so many recommendations ahhh Hat Trick by Ajay Daniel: Poly relationship, football Head in the game by Rebecca Rathe: age gap (look at the trigger warnings tho) Fake Out by Eden Finley: not really sports romance but the main lead used to play and is now an agent The Quarterback by Tal Bauer: personal favorite, age gap The whole Never Have I Ever Series by Willow Dixon
Now you're over 13k! I love watching your videos, because we have the exact same book taste, so as a newer reader, your reviews really help with what and what not to buy, and so far it had worked immaculately!
omg I felt the exact same with consider me, ended up giving it 2 stars - I don't know why there was so much plot at the start and then just so dragged out to be so long 😕I'm so excited for bride, especially hearing your thoughts now. Also the fact shein couldn't spell midnight 😅
Great video💖. I've been binging your old content lately because you're one of my favorite booktubers. You've convinced me to add the Neighbour Nashville series to my tbr because it sounds like it's got the same vibes as the Jacksonville Ray books and I kind of love that series (I just finished the third book).
omg yess fear the flames was my #1 of 2023! WAY better than fourth wing, but I hated that so that's not saying much LOL but fear the flames is incredible & the author is such a sweetheart!
omg I felt the EXACT same way about Consider Me 😭 the beginning was SO GOOD and then it was boring, seriously 200 pages could have been cut from the book. I'm about to start reading the second book today though; it's best friend's sister/brother's best friend so I'm 👀
I ended up giving Consider Me 4⭐️ because even though I loved it I thought it was a little bit long-winded… but when I tell you that the rest of the series is 7⭐️ it’s SO worth carrying on!!!!
Congratulations on 12K girlie! You are SMASHING it! I’ve watched you since the beginning and started my channel just a couple months after you and you’re absolutely killing it 😇🩵
LOVED the video💗 i’m so excited to read bride and this just made me more excited!! so book unrelated, but i would love to see a makeup tutorial on your everyday look🙈 just a thought! keep up the amazing work💗💗
I'm always so excited when you post a video. And I love this video concept. I have loved it from other booktubers, and very much enjoy it from you obviously.
I honestly try to not assume a book is a five-star book because every time I think a book is a 5 star read it turns out to be bad or somehow I have such high hopes that I kind of ruin it to be a 5 star haha but I love your videos so much!!
Congrats on 12k! 🎉🎉 🥳🥳Im so late but thank you so much for another great video Ellen! I was so excited for the title and i can't wait for you to do more in the future ❤ ps im super excited for your birthday edition books 😍
I’ve seen Becka Mack saying that her books are massively based around the found family that goes on throughout the series, I’ve not read them yet so now I’m nervous it’s going to bore me😬😂 I just started Nashville neighbourhood series this week and I’m LOVING them😍 I’m having the best time!!
omg i’ve read a few QB tyler books and also adored them!! i need to read more of her backlist. so glad you’re loving nikki sloane as well! she’s one of my all time faves, i also need to look into her backlist too🤭
Girl. I feel like you just started your channel, but I realized I’ve been subscribed since 1873 BC. Congrats on the appreciation you deserve! ❤ P.S. - Totally get the birthday sadness. I stopped having birthday parties cuz people are mean.
hahahaha thank you so much for being here since the start!!! means so much🥹 and i’m glad you agree with me about birthday sadness, always end up having a little cry

You're the reason I picked up The doctor lol. Have read the whole series now (in 10 days literally obsessed). So thank you for that haha. Absolutely adore your video's and am always soooo excited whenever you post. Anyways that's all.
@@bookswithellen ITS SO MUCH FUN OMG. I've seen some of Nikki Sloane's other books and will have to read those now as well because I'm obsessed. It's not even a want it's a need.
@@bookswithellen ALSO, Nina and Scott from the frat boy have a small novella in one of Nikki Sloane her other series. Thought you might be interested haha.
sorry for the delay in my reply, i’ve been searching for it!! i think ive managed to find it here☺️: m.shein.co.uk/SHEIN-Essnce-Letter-Printed-Fleece-Sweatshirt-p-25319306.html
Congrats ELLEN on the 12k you deserve it sm! Plus this is a rly weird question but I always ask myself this while watching, do you break your bookspines?
I could NEVER do this video. I just know it would take me months and months. I literally only get like 2-4 5 ⭐a year. I'm super picky. The book has to be like 6 stars for most people for me to consider to be a 5 star. I have to adore it from front to back. And I think I'm pretty similar to you in regards that I usually know if a book is going to be five stars by the first 50-60 pages (it can either go up or down hill for me). Also, that's so funny I'm currently reading "The Predator" right now because of your recommendation. from your dark romance video. You should definitely do another! I feel like it'd be so fun! And it's pronounced, "baze-guy-eth" if that helps!
i used to be so picky, but i tend to give out more 5 stars nowadays!! i’m defo gonna do another dark romance video, i think it would be funny🤣 hopefully you end up enjoying the predator!
What is your top fantasy series? Also you should read Ten by Gretchen McNeil (thriller) a lot of people have been recommending it and it was really good. Love your channel!! ❤❤
girl PLEASEE read „unravel me“ by becka mack it?s the third in the series AND MY FAV. literally have been on a single mom kick eber since anyways love the vid 😚
@@Turtledove2970 at the moment i only have my amazon wishlist (it is linked in my bio!!) you can send me books/a note that way, but you never have to gift me anything❤️ just your comments make me so happy!!
@@bookswithellen i think it’s a book in the series like all the couples are gathered up and then the guys start eating fruit roll ups and they start acting like children …
You are literally one of the two creators where my notifications are one
omg i feel so privileged🫶🏻🥹
Fear the flame is incredibly underrated!!
i’m so excited to get to it!!
AHH now you’re over 12k 🥰 so so so happy for you and you’re going to keep growing 🫶🏼 love your content and genuine excitement for the books you adore!!!
omg thank you so much🥹🥹 always appreciate your comments you’re such a cutie pie❤️
You should do a video on like your favorite in each genre ! I’m curious what your fave dark romances are and how dark you like them lol!
omg that would be so fun!
I just finished Bride and I LOVED it I’m obsessed. Also.. I loved the 🪢🤣
HAHAHA that made me giggle🤣 i defo wasn’t against it👀
You should read The Fakemate by Lana Ferguson!! There’s a lot of 🪢🪢🪢 hahaha

Couldn´t agree more on the MM sports romance part. Since I´m about to run out of books in this genre: Do you have any recommandations?
so true!! also every time I'm in a reading slump I read mm books because I just fly true them
@@LiLe296
I have so many recommendations ahhh
Hat Trick by Ajay Daniel: Poly relationship, football
Head in the game by Rebecca Rathe: age gap (look at the trigger warnings tho)
Fake Out by Eden Finley: not really sports romance but the main lead used to play and is now an agent
The Quarterback by Tal Bauer: personal favorite, age gap
The whole Never Have I Ever Series by Willow Dixon
omg that sounds amazing!! do you have any recs?🫶🏻
