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 📖📚

Thanks for reminding me about the book deals! I saw B.Spears book at Tesco for £4.50 compared to other places

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 ❤️

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

Honestly one bookish vlog a week from you is just never enough . I look forward to Wednesdays so much 😘

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! ❤

Wow the shape and colour of this top look so good on you!! 💓

Just found your channel and I am obsessed!! Love to find more UK bookish YouTubers 💞🥰🎀🫶🏼

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 😍

The cuteness of your book journal is too much! 🤩 I think I might have to start one… 🎉

[karenramosuk]

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 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!

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

[sherrieray]

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
💜💜💜

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.

I was hoping you would start doing a book journal!

[beverlymiller]

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!

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.
