I think I've never been this fast. Its just for 19 seconds online?! Also, my tbr is getting long with all these good books i now want to read

[karenramosuk]

I’m amazed that there’s a genre of books about cowboy romance. I love your enthusiasm for the books you read . Great watch

Mile high and right move was SO good! For some reason the paradise problem seems unapproachable for me. And i didn't even like love redesigned as much. Excited about elsie silver's never title though ❤
For aug, my ambitious tbr-
1. Finish the last 3 books from Zodiac Academy(because they go fast)
2. Change of heart by kate(author of in a jam)
3. Better than a movie
4. Piranesi
5. Maybe, just maybe Cujo 😅

Definitely keep trying with Carrie Soto! I am not into tennis at all and loved it, one of my favourite TJR books! X

[jennyjinx]

Felt the same with beach read felt was over hyped it was an ok read- love love love Malibu rising so thanks for introducing me to it :)

[mackenzieabraham]

The Paradise Problem!! Read it Now!! Just finished and loved it

[MissWildwoodflower]

I have a completely different reading taste but still watched the whole video just because of how inspiring it is to listen to you being excited about the books you read and the ones on your tbr. And I started to make my own August tbr in my mind while watching the video.
By the way, while you read summery books at the moment my current read is set in December 😂

Took me a while to get into Carrie Soto but ended up really enjoying it and reading the end quite quickly. You and Me on Vacation is great. Enjoy! ❤

[esjaymusings]

AHHH I love how excited you get! Cause same. I need to read the Chestnut Spring series! Also I highly recommend The Ex Vows by Jessica Joyce <3 I need it injected into my Eli and Georgia are EVERYTHING.

Lovely vlog!

I think you should get a personalized book stamp so when you loan your books to friends, they know it’s yours…to be returned 😊

[shannonhassett]

Loved the Chestnut springs series too...my fav was Theo.❤🤠

[ruthgoodwin]

Carrie Soto is a must read, I’ve read all TJR books and it’s in my top 3 if not number one, i loved it. It does take a while to get into but well worth it, please give it another go, it’s 5 stars from me 😊

[aditikatbamna]

Carrie soto was my 5star read! It was SOO good. ❤

[natalieclark]

I’ve read Carrie Soto and really enjoyed it - scored it 4 stars on Goodreads. It does have a tennis vibe throughout, so if you have zero interest in tennis it might not be for you, but it also has this layer of resilience and persistence, and acceptance, which I really liked. It’s not 7 husbands but I thought it was a good TJR 📖✨💜

[Julia-qmky]

I loved loved loved Carrie Soto is back, you should definitely give it a chance! I wouldn't have imagined when I picked it up because I don't know much about tennis but it turned out to be my favourite Taylor Jenkins Reid book ❤ also if you're up for other book recommendations, my current read is "Marlowe Banks, Redesigned" and I think you might enjoy it as well!

[joannepotton]

Ellen have you watched Yellowstone? I think you would really love it because of your love of cowboys!

[BetweenThePagesWithLouLou]

Hi Ellen, I am currently going down a cowboy small town rabbit hole and agree with you on Alive and wells and seeing red. Finished Elsie’s first book series (the name escapes me).
Bourbon and Lies is quite good by Victoria Wilder - love the cover.
Chasing the Wild is like a cross between credence and birthday girl by Penelope Douglas. And that’s y Elliott Rose.
I’m currently reading Play Along by Liz Tomforde 😊

[xo_calibri]

I absolutely adored Yours Truly and Just for the Summer. As an anxious girly and someone who loves when my partner goes all out, I felt like these two books where written specifically for me ☺️

[johannabergstrom]

I’ve read Carrie Soto this summer. I really liked it!! Yes it’s a lot of tennis but it has a lot more than that. I actually cried at the beach in Greece while reading it 🥹❤️

[jennyjinx]

Really enjoyed a book called the Saturday place :) maybe one to consider x
