Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m bringing you my official blog announcement for the third round of the Graphicsathon along with my tbr pile! The readathon will be taking place during January 16 to 19 00:01 AM your time and I already can’t wait to see your tbrs!

Also, a fun tid bit, for those of you who stuggle with the constraints of a readathon, we now have a Graphicsathon reading challenge over on the Storygraph site, for anyone interested!

Me: This is a shorter, more chill readathon, I’m going to relax with a small tbr
Also me: 12 books in 4 days sounds doable.

JANUARY TBR ā‡€ Kicking off 2021! āœØšŸ“ššŸŒ»

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

January is more about getting to know what kind of a reader and blogger and in general, human I want to be in 2021. So, I’m mostly planning on getting my blog schedule sorted and reading as much as I can, since last month I tried to watch a movie every day. I have a few buddy reads planned for this month but apart from that I’m really hoping to just relax, listen to a bunch of audiobooks and play animal crossing.

I haven’t added the comics, maga of graphic novels on my tbr to this post because I’ll have a seperate blog post for those. But, I thought I’d mention here that a mini round of Graphicsathon is happening again from the 16th of January to the 19th in your time zone!

DECEMBER WRAP UP // i read soo many regency romances this month??? help??? šŸ“ššŸŒˆšŸ˜±

~ Ellyn ~ 5 Comments

Originally my intent for this month was to read every singe day pretty much non-stop but as you can probably assume that was a ridiculous goal that would have only surved to burn me out before the new year so I axed that almost immediately and aimed to just read as much as I could, since at the start of th emonth I was mostly just watching movies.

Overall, I think the month went really well for me and I’m even more excited to go into the new year, than ever! Happy 2021 everyone!

My 57 Most Anticipated Releases of 2021!

~ Ellyn ~ 3 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! We’re officially starting off the 2021 content and today I’m kicking it off with my most anticipated releases of 2021!

I just want everyone to know that originally I only had like, 10 books on this list and I had every intenton of keeping it that way. But then I would go on Goodreads and remember a book and then another book and now here we are with a ridiculously too-long to actually actively read while staying interested kind of post, so I am very sorry about that. I’ve kept all the books in order or release date and the genres vary from YA mystery to Adult romance so hopefully everyone can find a book that interests them here! (I highly recommend skimming for pretty covers because 2021 is totally bang on with the graphic design!)

*I’ve also linked all of these books so click on the titles to go to the Goodreads page!
ā‡€ You can find my 2021 Releases Goodreads Shelf here.
ā‡€ You can also find my 2021 Releases Spreadsheet here on Notion, for anyone who wants a copy.

~ Ellyn ~ 4 Comments

2020 is almost over so you know what that means! We’ve got to do a tag! I meant to do this a month and a bit ago but never got around to it, so now we’ve got a week left in the year and either I do it now or wait a year, so here we are!

DECEMBER TBR // finally taking time off and getting back to reading!

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Long time no see! I know I said I was going to get back into blogging and at the time I was telling thr truth but then a whole lot happened all at once and (again) I’ve been working 3 jobs and really haven’t had time to think let alone write a blog post. But, I finish up 2 of my jobs within the next week so I’ll have a bunch of time to get back to a normal life schedule sooner than later! Trust me, no one is more excited about the school holidays then I am (did I mention I’m a teacher?).

As for my actual plans for the month, I don’t have many because I prefer to wind down at the end of the year. But, I would like to continue watching Criminal Minds and My Hero Academia and possibly maybe read some books????

I’m not aiming to read a book a day because I already know that’s an irresponsible and impossible goal for me this month but I do want to try my hardest to read as much as I can since I haven’t read a whole lot in the last few months, so I’ll be reading some comics and manga (hopefully) and catching up on some of the books I missed out on earlier this year.
