i read the entire kingdom of the wicked trilogy in 12 hours lol i’m unhinged

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hey everyone, welcome to or welcome back to my blog! I’m in the mood for some romance today and I have the day off from work so I’ve decided to take advantage of my reading motivation! It’s 11am and since today is the only day this week that I’m not busy so I’m dedicating the entire day to reading the Kingdom of the Wicked trilogy by Kerry Mainsalco. The last book in the trilogy came out in late September and I’ve been waiting for a free day to binge the trilogy and today is finally that day!

I have read book 1 before but I haven’t read the other books so I’m excited to see where this trilogy goes, especially since I don’t really remember what happens in book 1!

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!*

My Letterboxd Review

Hi everyone! Welcome back to one of my first movie reviews of 2021! I’ve been posting mostly tv reviews this year and really enjoying them but I recently watched Eternals and had some thoughts so I figured I’d share them with you! Don’t worry, I’ll be back to talking about books and reviewing shows soon enough. I think my next review will be Hakweye on Disney+ but of course, do let me know if there are any particular shows you want to know my thoughts on!

New Girl - Season 1 - Promotional Posters

Hi everyone! 2021 has been the year of tv reviews on my blog and I don’t plan on stopping!/Ive been loving reviewing different shows on Netflix and Disney+ but they’ve mostly been heavier shows so I thought I’d shale things up and review a comedy. I have seen the first few seasons of this show before but I was in the mood for a rewatch and I figured I’d note down my thoughts while I watched! Enjoy!

TW: relationship cheating, ended relationships

You Season 2 (2020) Rewatch Review & Discussion! // This show gets better with every rewatch!!

You (season 2) - Wikipedia

Hi friends welcome back to my blog! I’ve been really getting into watching and then reviewing tv shows on my blog this year, mostly with Disney+ Marvel shows so I figured I’d shake it up a bit and rewatch and review a favourite of mine, You season 2! Originally I was going to rewatch season 1 as well but with uni I really didn’t have the time so hopefully, I’ll do that in the future. I will have a review for season 3 coming up in the next week or two though!

This is one of my favourite shows so I’m really excited to discuss it with you all!

TW: roofie-ing a minor (on-screen, she was saved), non-consensual photographs of drugged minors, violence, death, murder (on-screen), dismembering (on-screen), paedophilia, physical & mental abuse (parents, partner), being buried alive, PTSD
↠ Most of these triggers take place on-screen

You can find my other Movie & TV Show reviews here.

What If…? Season 1 (2021) Spoiler Review & Discussion | The MCU continues! 🤯🌟❤

~ Ellyn ~ Leave a comment

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! I’ve been really loving watching and reviewing the Disney+ MCU tv shows this year so this is my latest review since What If…? just finished a few days ago! I really enjoyed this one (though not as much as I expected to) so it has me very excited for season 2!

This is the part of my review where I remind everyone that all the thoughts and opinions in this blog post are just that, thoughts and opinions. No hate just because you might disagree! I’d love to know why in the comments (as long as you can be nice about it!)

You can find my reviews for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier here and Loki Season 1 here.

Let me know in the comments what you thought of the show and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the points I talked about! And let me know if you want to see more posts like this in the future!
