You have helped me get out of a 6 year reading slump (due to going back to education and finally completing my final year this year).. Me and my girlfriend look forward to your everyday vlogs, but now hooked on your bookish vlogs too! ❤
The book journal / book tracker is sooo cute! Love the idea. I also try to support in person shopping but it’s so hard when the online selection is often better! Love all the bookish vlogs, thanks for sharing ❤️
I always forget what good deals they have at the works! Agreed it is usually just the trendy books, but def saves some money when those are catching my eye 📖📚
I really wish I could get back into reading. I used to read a lot as a child and teenager but get so easily distracted now, finding it hard to concentrate. Loved the vlog ❤
I also want to do the powerless tandem read! I feel like tandem reads are so fun, even though I've done it only once before for tog. Your book journal looks so pretty Ellen 😍
I loved Mile High I really did - I’m not a sport romance girlie but thought I’d start this series because I’m into Baseball to get to that book so I was so surprised and bought the entire series!! I hope you love them - love your vlogs never miss one 💜💜💜
I absolutely agree with you about the high street. I adore them! I miss Paperchase; they did have beautiful journals. I am now using Japanese ones, which I get from Waterstones. Your journal is adorable! You are creative!
If you're planning on ordering online for more choice, I would definitely recommend World Of Books - it's second hand books (but also new ones if you prefer!) and they're very very affordable, great deals, a B corporation (always great to support those) and free UK shipping
I ordered from them once and was very satisfied! Didn't have free shipping though since I live outside of the uk but I would definitely buy from the again!
@@poppycalliope love this! 99% of my books are from there and if you choose 'like new' or 'very good' condition you practically get brand new books without the environmental footprint - it’s a win-win 🙌
@@haleymusix3402 exactly! The condition of all of them was really good and I honestly don't mind a couple of stains or a rip here and there. It gives the book character and I imagine that there is a story behind it (for example I saw a reddish stain so I thought that the previous owner was sipping wine) 😂
@@poppycalliope I also once got one that was clearly a library book at one point as they also have an 'old and rare‘ section and it just felt like that book has travelled more than me! I love it 🤣
Woohooo 🎉 I look forward to your Wednesdays video’s so much! Oh the books looks lovely. I feel like going journey shopping now 😂❤I agree with store and being under stocked 😞I agree with you in regard to the works but still enjoying going. Have you read Reckless? I listened to powerless and reckless, I don’t think my emotions will take powerful 😊 I really enjoy reading but I’ve always struggled to find time to sit down and read so I found audible has helped me listen to books on the go which has been a brilliant solution for me personally. It has taken some time to get into it and now I’m able to listen to it at the pace also.😂😂
Fab video as always Ellen!. So glad you picked up the Windy City series by Liz Tomforde (they are worth the hype imo). The first two books are good but the 3rd and 4th are 5⭐️ reads. The bond between brothers Kai (Caught Up) and Isaiah (Play Along) Rhodes is so special. I finished Play Along last week and cannot stop thinking about it. Isaiah has smashed all other MMCs out of the water for me, he is absolute perfection 💜. This isn’t the usual surface level sports romance. There’s something about Liz’s writing that gave me all the feels and pulls you in. I also loved the strong found family running through all the books. I hope you enjoy them and can’t wait to hear your thoughts.
Hey Ellen, just now found you, I'm a Miller too. Anyway, I love that you are an avid reader like myself. I have enjoyed your videos from Italy to your artsy outlets! I'm a retired art educator & artist in Virginia. So, I know you like romance novels, but I have a few recommendations for "great reads" for you! These aren't romance novels, but great writers and books. So, I'll start with these and add more later! 1) The Girl Who Wrote in Silk, Kelli Estes 2) A recent read was, The Consequences of Anna, Kate Barkin &Mark Born 3)The Henna Artist, Alka Joshi Hopefully, I'll send more if you are interested. I tend to read books that are historical fiction with a female heroine and the setting some other place than the country I live in. You're smart and young and that's FABULOUS!
so glad you like it! For now this is full time, but i was doing corporate as a contractor/freelancer so I might take another contract in the new year ❤️
Would love to see you sign up to your local library🥰 you can find all the books you love for FREE (physical and audio) and if you really desperately want to keep one, then you can buy it. Libraries have a great atmosphere and offer so much more than just books too. Also I highly recommend secondhand bookshops, I very often pick up like new books in them including recent titles and they are a fraction of the price.
I’d love to say it’s because it’s super sunny at home at the moment. But really it’s just habit 😂 when my hair is down they keep the hair out of my face so well, so now I just reach for them in the summer without even thinking about it 😂
I’ve recently bought just for the summer but didn’t realise it was part of a series! Do I have to read the other two first, or is it more like a recommendation? 🤍
More of a recommendation! i love the references to other characters you've read about, especially the ending - some of the previous book characters feature quite heavily. But it doesn't affect your understanding at all if you don't read them first ❤️
This is the first video I have click on by @ellenmiller and I immediately she has an authors name. Like she could write a book one day. I don’t know why that’s my first thought as I was clicking.
Wow the shape and colour of this top look so good on you!! 💓
Thanks for reminding me about the book deals! I saw B.Spears book at Tesco for £4.50 compared to other places
You have helped me get out of a 6 year reading slump (due to going back to education and finally completing my final year this year).. Me and my girlfriend look forward to your everyday vlogs, but now hooked on your bookish vlogs too! ❤
oh im so glad you both enjoy the vlogs 🥹❤️ and omg i get you, i read NOTHING when i was in education. There's enough text books 😂
The book journal / book tracker is sooo cute! Love the idea. I also try to support in person shopping but it’s so hard when the online selection is often better! Love all the bookish vlogs, thanks for sharing ❤️
I always forget what good deals they have at the works! Agreed it is usually just the trendy books, but def saves some money when those are catching my eye 📖📚
Totally agree!! I’ll defs be using it for the more popular books from now on ❤️
Honestly one bookish vlog a week from you is just never enough . I look forward to Wednesdays so much 😘
thank you sm 🥹❤️
I really wish I could get back into reading. I used to read a lot as a child and teenager but get so easily distracted now, finding it hard to concentrate. Loved the vlog ❤
The cuteness of your book journal is too much! 🤩 I think I might have to start one… 🎉
I also want to do the powerless tandem read! I feel like tandem reads are so fun, even though I've done it only once before for tog. Your book journal looks so pretty Ellen 😍
Just found your channel and I am obsessed!! Love to find more UK bookish TH-camrs 💞🥰🎀🫶🏼
Yay! Thank you! ☺️❤️
I loved Mile High I really did - I’m not a sport romance girlie but thought I’d start this series because I’m into Baseball to get to that book so I was so surprised and bought the entire series!! I hope you love them - love your vlogs never miss one
💜💜💜
Ah can’t wait to read them! ❤️❤️
Makes My Day When you makes New Vlogs Ellen🥹🥹🩷🩷
I enjoyed the audio for Powerless and Reckless. Kai’s voice 🥰
I’m listening to Powerful right now and I think the narrators are great for it as well
I absolutely agree with you about the high street. I adore them! I miss Paperchase; they did have beautiful journals. I am now using Japanese ones, which I get from Waterstones. Your journal is adorable! You are creative!

Ahh this sounds like my dream book series. Found family + strong family bonds + romance. So excited to get started with reading them! ❤️
I was hoping you would start doing a book journal!

I wish we still had Paperchase, they had the best journals!
i agree!! 😭
Love your new journalling 😍 Are you still working in your corporate job or is this now your full-time?
so glad you like it! For now this is full time, but i was doing corporate as a contractor/freelancer so I might take another contract in the new year ❤️
Aloha you made good book vlog on ever video

Great savings on books!
Very sorry for this question but my OCD pushes me to ask - why do you wear sunglasses at home? 😂
I’d love to say it’s because it’s super sunny at home at the moment. But really it’s just habit 😂 when my hair is down they keep the hair out of my face so well, so now I just reach for them in the summer without even thinking about it 😂
Is it worth tandem reading powerless/powerful? I'm pretty useless and moving around my kindle!😂 can you read them in order? X
you can definitely read them in order - honestly i didnt follow the tandem perfectly. But i did enjoy reading the endings together ❤️
@@ellenalicemiller I'm loving powerless so far!😊
Which audio book system do you use? Audible?
yes Audible - although if the book is on Spotify i'll use that as i do have spotify premium and i keep seeing more and more auiobooks on there! ❤️
Thank you. I never even thought of Spotify for audible books!😂
Awesome Ellen 😅😅😅😅🎉🎉😂❤
Have you thought about using your local library? :)
yes! so i've looked into it, my library is pretty poorly stocked and the wait times for the books i want are craazy long 😭
Oh how I hate the term “core memories”……it’s like the word “obsessed”……terms used way to much in social media🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I don’t even remember using it in this video? 😂🙈
Piensas que la Biblia puede hacer un mundo mejor?

That would be insaaaane to write a book one day!! ❤️
