WWW Wednesday 03/08/2022 | i love wolfpack books now??? 🤯🤯🤯

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hi everyone! Welcome or welcome back to my blog! Today I’m doing my weekly WWW post with my recent reads and the books I’m hoping to read soon! I’m being a bit secretive this week because 1, I actually haven’t started my “current” read 😂 and 2, I have no idea what I’m reading next, so you’ll have to stick around on my blog to see, I guess!

WWW Wednesday is hosted by Taking On a World of Words and you can find my other WWW Wednesday posts and find my progress here.

My Goodreads Goal Update!

I’ve somehow read 175 books out of my 200 book goal!

AUGUST TBR | 2022 releases + romances!

~ Ellyn ~ 1 Comment

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! Last month was absolutely wild and I somehow managed to read 31 books while also having covid and feeling like I was in a slump, which is pretty usual for me these days as I seem to have a mini-slump every month. I have some more low-key plans for August but I’m still hoping to read some good books and hopefully get to some new releases since my list of 2022 releases that I haven’t read yet is quickly getting bigger and bigger and I’m afraid at some point it will crush me. So, here’s to a successful August!

*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!

JULY WRAP UP | 31 books in 31 days! ~ 2022 releases, romances & lots of manga! 📚

~ Ellyn ~ 1 Comment

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! It’s been a wild month for me and somehow it’s over now! I’ve been experimenting with week-long reading experiments on my blog and I also co-hosted round 6 of the Graphicsathon this month AND I caught covid from my family, so it was a very hectic month with some great highs and major lows. But, all in all, I think it was a really good month and I read some new and old favourites! I’m officially so excited for August to see if I can keep this positive streak going!

So, here are all of my January – June 2022 stats as well as my favourite and least favourite books, movies, tv shows and blog posts!

A Review of The Off-Campus Series by Elle Kennedy [The Deal, The Mistake, The Score, The Goal + The Legacy]

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog. I run a book blog and yet you will rarely see properly formatted reviews on my blog… That being said, I’m switching it up today and going old-school! I’m posting a full series review of the Off-Campus series by Elle Kennedy!

The books:

  • The Deal
  • The Mistake
  • The Score
  • The Goal
  • The Legacy

I’ve read book 1 in this series a few times now because I’ve so often gone into this series with the intention of binge-reading all the books, only to completely fail and only read the first one 😅. But, I can finally say that I’ve successfully read the entire series now and I’ll be reviewing it today!

Also, kind of random, but I made a Pinterest board for The Deal (book one!) and you can find it here.

*There will be some spoilers in these reviews!*

i’m sick so i made pinterest boards for some of my favourite romance books 💕📸📚 + mood boards

~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

I’m sick and the majority of my household has covid (I don’t yet!!) so I decided to make Pinterest boards for some of my favourite romance books! I’ve also started making some for other books as well so if you like this kind of post, I’ll do some more in the future! Either way, I’m absolutely loving making these boards for books so I’ll definitely continue to make them over on my Pinterest, even if I don’t always talk about them here on my blog.

I also decided to make some little mood boards too to show the general vibes of my interest boards. Too much? Lol probably.

Find my Pinterest here.

Hey everyone welcome or welcome back to my blog! We’re past the halfway mark in the year so it’s time to talk about all of the books I’ve accumulatively read so far this year! I’ve never tier ranked anything before but, I figured if there ever was a time to start this would be it. so today I’m tier ranking every book I read from January to June this year!

If you want some more in-depth reviews you can find my wrap ups here.

i read 10 2022 releases in 7 days | christina lauren, emily henry, nikki castle, f. t. lukens etc.

~ Ellyn ~ 4 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! I’m starting to get into doing week-long challenges here on my blog (I recently did a challenge where reading was the first thing I did in the morning) and I’m really enjoying them! This year I’ve also been falling behind on reading the new releases on my tbr, so last week I read only 2022 releases! My goal is a book a day but we’ll see how that goes 😓 lol, either way, I am really excited to hopefully read from some favourite authors this week and hopefully, find some other authors I love too (and finally read some more new releases!)

→ Side note: I’ve also included all of the tropes that fit into the books I read this week just in case any of them spark your interest! Let me know if this is something you’d like to see me continue to do in the future!

Here’s how it went! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
