~ Ellyn ~ 7 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m showing you all my tbr for September! In AUgus I tried out a tbr wheel and loved it but this month I’m just focusin gon reading graphic novels and reading the things I’m really excited for. I’ll be doing a lot of mood reading this month!

September is also the first month when we’re kickstarting the Hoemance Book Club with The Heart Principle and I cannot wait to read it with you all!

I also wanted to mention that since I don’t do book recommendation posts quite as much on my blog anymore I have started doing them over on the Hoemance Book Club instagram account and I have some really cool posts planned for over there! You can also find us here on Twitter.

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m in the mood to talk books so I’m going to go through the top 10 books on my tbr for the rest of 2021 since somehow August is almost over? Also, I’m listening to the Guardians of the Galaxy in vol 1 soundtrack so it’s put me in a really really happy mood. If you’re listening to anything right now, let me know in the comments so I can add it to my Spotify playlist.

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m coming to you with my August tbr, a little bit late, but better late than never, I guess?

July tbr | THE OLYMPIC GAMES READATHON + TRYING TO READ 31 BOOKS IN 31 DAYS 🙈

~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! Today I’m bringing you my July tbr and this month I am getting AMBITIOUS! Last month I participated in and hosted the Graphicsathon which got me into a really positive and motivated reading mood so now all I want to do is read! So, I’m challenging myself in July to read a book everyday and to also participate in the Olympic Games readathon which is based around the Percy Jackson series (which you don’t have to have read to participate in the readathon!)

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

MY GRAPHICSATHON ROUND 4 TBR (JUNE 21ST-27TH) 💜💜💜

~ Ellyn ~ 4 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog! I’m just ducking in here quickly to go through my Graphicsathon tbr and all the prompts for the readathon for anyone who missed the announcement earlier this month! I’m super excited about this round because I’ve finally manage to set it at a time where I don’t have assessments due so now I can read as much as I want without having to worry about other things!

You can find the StoryGraph reading challenge for this specifc round here. It’s a lot of fun seeing what everyone is adding to each prompt and I can’t wait to go through it after the readathon to see what everyone read! The google doc for this round should also be done in the next day or two so that will be linked on the Twitter!

ALL THE BOOKS ON MY JUNE TBR // Happy Pride! 🌈🌈🌈

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome to my blog! Today I’m bringing you my June tbr and it’s FULL of queer new releases and some fun backlist book that I’ve been meaning to get to for ages! I read A LOT of books in May so I’m hoping to really keep that momentum going for Pride and to also continue my amazing reading streak with the Graphicsathon later this month! I’m not going to lie, I’ve already read two books this month and I’m currently stuck into my third, but it’s only day 2 of the month so I’m trying not to get too far ahead of myself and I’m desperately trying not to get too cocky because then I’ll immediately get into a reading slump! Let me know if there are any books on my tbr that you’re also planning on picking up or if there are any I should avoid!

*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!

MAY TBR | 🤞🤞 Classics and 2021 Releases! (will i finally rate something above 2.5 stars?)

~ Ellyn ~ 3 Comments

Hi friends, welcome to my blog! So, March and April were a bit messy and I didn’t read many books that I rated above 2.5 stars but it’s a new month and I have faith that I’m going to read some truly fantastic books! I have a few buddy reads lined up with Rebecca that I’m really excited for and I also have some older titles that I’ve been meaning to pick up for YEARS so I have my fingers crossed that I’ll enjoy them!

MY APRIL TBR // The month where I WILL rate something higher than 2 stars

~ Ellyn ~ 11 Comments

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! 2021 so far has been completely crazy and very rocky in terms of reading, especially now that I’m back at uni. March was a pretty good reading month in terms of pages and quanitity but, most of them were 2 star reads so overall it was a bit of a mess and aletdown BUT I have higher hopes for April!

Fingers crossed I get to at least some of the books on my tbr, and that I rate them higher than 2 stars!

MY MARCH TBR + THE BOOKS ON MY RADAR (+ The Backlist Readathon)

~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! In January I read 44 books and in February I read 29 so you could say that I’ve been reading intensely high above my usual rate per month so far in 2021. But, for March I’m going back to uni as well as working so I’ll be busy almost every day. So yeah, I think it’s safe to say that my days of reading and finishing a book every day are over. It was fun while it lasted but now I’m going to focus on bigger books and just mood reading whatever’s on my tbr from the library

I’m actually really excited for March because I’m hoping that because of my long bus trips to school I’ll be able to listen to some longer books and maybe even read some 2021 releases since I know I’ve been missing out on some great new releases lately.

All in all, March is about chilling out and reading whatever I’m in the mood for, whether it’s a quick novella or a 900-page book!

FEBRUARY TBR ⇀ Attempting 28 in 28 📚

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

In January I read a riduclous amount of books so guess who’s trying to make lightining strike twice! 😂🙈 I have to go back to Uni in March so I’m trying to fit in as much reading as I can before I am forced to really slow down and focus on other things. I will be going back to working two jobs this month so I have literally no idea how reading a book every day will go for me but I’m hoping I can catch up on the weekends.

Also, a fun update for my reading throughout this year. My tbrs have always been more of a guide for my reading and a show of the mood I’m in at the beginning of the month, but I’ve decided this year that I’m going stop forcing myself to read off my tbr if I’m not in the mood for the books. 2021 is about getting through out and being realistic. 2021 is the year of the mood read.
*If you’re interested to know my thoughts on a particular book though, please do still tell me because that will definitely give me extra motivation to pick it up!
