~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! Every year I do a recommendations post of the new releases I read from the previous year and really want to recommend and for 2021 I actually have a lot more than I assumed I would. I haven’t written a blurb for all of them, just my absolute favourites. But, I have included the covers of all of the books I enjoyed that came out in 2021!

I’ve also included my 2020, 2019 and 2018 recs at the end of this post if anyone’s curious!

22 THINGS I LOVE IN BOOKS & 55+ BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS! | Weird books, bodyguard romances & soft magic 📚😍

~ Ellyn ~ 6 Comments

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m fangirling about 22 of my favourite tropes / favourite things in books! I can be *really* picky with the books that I choose to read, and on top of that, the books that I choose to 5 star! So, with any of the tropes or elements in this list I could be completely thrown off if it was to just be upped a tiny bit, but if it’s the perfect amount than it’s most likely a 4.5 or 5 star read for me. I really am a picky reader which is why so many of my reads get a 3 star rating or somwhere around that, but more often than not, if a book has one of these elements, it’s going to get a really high rating from me!

Also, supringly, it was a lot easier to write this list than my hate list (coming soon!) so that was an honest to god shock but a good one!

~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

HI friends, welcome back to my blog! I recently watched Booksandlala’s video about enneagram types and I was wondering how I could translate a video like that into a blog format and this is what I came up with! I wasn’t in the mood to talk books today but I am 100% here to recommend movies so I hope you all enjoy this even if it’s not book-centric!

I’m really curious to know what your eenneagram types are and what your favourite movies are! Also, can you guess my enneagram number?

Hi all! Welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming to you with a new recommendation post! I’m planning on doing a few more of these in the coming weeks because I know most of us are stuck in our homes and possibly very very bored! So, you can expect more movie recommendations from me in the coming weeks, and if there’s anything specific you’d like me to recommend, let me know in the comments!
