my march tbr | graphicsathon, the bonds that tie + monster romances!

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! It’s somehow now March so that means I’ve got another ambitious tbr full of books I would love to read! I managed to read 28 books both in January and February and I read some new favourite books and discovered some authors that now love so I’m really hoping to keep that trend going this month!

Also, this month from the 1st to the 7th, the Graphicsathon is happening, so of course, I’ve got a huge tbr for that too! You can join the Twitter or the Discord here!

*If you’re interested to know my thoughts on a particular book, please do still tell me because that will definitely give me extra motivation to pick it up!

~ Ellyn ~ 5 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! Every February I attempt to read a book every single day and I honestly thought I was going to completely fail this month but then in the last few days of the month I had a sudden burning need to binge read a bunch of romance books on my Kindle and then before I knew it, I’d reached 28 in 28 by the last day of the month!

+ a new round of Graphicsathon is coming March 1 – 7! Join us on Twitter, Instagram and Discord!

💖 Graphicsathon Round 8: The Comfort Round Announcment! MARCH 1 – 7! 💖

~ Ellyn ~ 1 Comment

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! It’s been a while because, over the last few weeks, I’ve been busy both reading like a crazy person and getting ready for the next round of my readathon dedicated to reading graphics,=; Graphcisathon! Somehow we’re in round 8 now and since we loved having a theme last time, we’ve decided to stick with that idea this time around too and we’ve dubbed this one the ‘comfort round!’. So, the prompts revolve around reading nostalgic faves and staying in your comfort zone because sometimes that’s just the nicest place to be. So, for the first week of March, we’ll be surrounding ourselves with our favourite graphics and reading as many as we can!

Follow our Twitter here & join the graphicsathon Discord here! We’ll be doing reading sprints throughout the readathon and we also have a buddy read and prompts so it’s going to be a lot of fun and I know we’re going to have some great discussions. I’m really looking forward to reading with you all!

Quick Info ↓

  • Dates: March 1 – 7

Prompts ↓

  • a reread
  • a graphic you think will be a new favourite
  • continue a series
  • a nostalgic graphic (whatever nostalgic means for you)
  • a graphic that makes you feel happy

FEBRUARY TBR | 28 in 28!!! 📚💕🤌🥰✨

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! It’s somehow now February which of course means I’m being my usual chaotic self and setting unrealistic goals for myself! So, the gal for Feb is to read 28 books in 28 days. I managed 28 in 32 last month so I’ve really got my hopes up this month that I’ll read some absolute bangers! Also, because I’m ridiculous, I just added every single book I could think of that I’m interested in reading at the moment to this tbr, which is why it’s so long!

*If you’re interested to know my thoughts on a particular book, please do still tell me because that will definitely give me extra motivation to pick it up!

JANUARY 2023 WRAP UP | monster romances, wayward children + the bonds that tie 💀💕🤌📚

~ Ellyn ~ 4 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! It’s somehow the end of January and we’re a full month into the year???? So it’s wrap up time! This month was absolutely wild, I was sick for 3/4 of it and just overall, an absolutely wild and completely unexpected month for me, to be honest. I truly though I was getting into another reading slump this month but then I discovered monster romances and now I’m a whole-ass new human!

Goodreads Challenge Update!

28/100!!!
