Which of my Goodreads friends do I read most similarly to?

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog! Today I’m going through my Goodreads because I recently saw Ally do this very same post on her blog (which you can see here) and I LOVED the whole idea (I’m lowkey annoyed I didn’t think of it first tbh) so here we are. I don’t spend very much time on Goodreads at the moment, mostly just using it to log what I’m reading, but I do occasionally like to stalk my friends’ goodreads pages so I’m really rght at home doing this post. šŸ˜‚

My 2021 Reading and Blogging Spread Sheets! // šŸ’•šŸ“ššŸ’• Walking you through my Notion pages

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Okay, so originally I wasn’t going to make this post because I didn’t intend to make a big spreadsheet for the year but then I remembered how much easier life is at the end of the year when you have all your stats ready for you and in one place.

So, where do I have my spread sheets and my stats? Well, I didn’t make some tables because I know The Storygraph will calculate them for me along with the graphs, but for other things like genre specifics (which I prefer to o myself) and blog statistics I’ve got those on Notion so they’re easly accessible to me on either my computer or my phone.

You can also find my 2019 Spreadsheet here.

EVERYTHING I CURRENTLY HAVE ON HOLD AT THE LIBRARY / OCTOBER 2020

~ Ellyn ~ 2 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome back to my blog! Long time no see! I took an unexpected hiatus away from my blog for a few months because of uni but school is officially over for the year so I finally have the time to blog again, so if you see me forgetting to post please feel free to yell at me!

I thought I’d take it slow getting back into the bloggin groove so today I’m just showing you everything i currently have on hold at the library. I’m a big advocate for using the libraries in my city so I pretty much always have at least 5-10 books or dvds on hold at any time so I was thinking of making this a monthly to bi-monthly series. Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in seeing from me!

Hi all! Welcome back to my blog! Today Iā€™m coming at you with my August bullet journal spread!

Also a quick caveat ā€“ Iā€™m not blessed with any artistic talent and my journal is purely for helping me through the year and Iā€™m using it more to keep myself accountable throughout the year. So, excuse the basic spreads but Iā€™m proud of them!

My 2020 Reading Stats So Far + A Reading Update

~ Ellyn ~ 14 Comments

I honestly don’t remember the last time I did a stats-related post on my blog but I recently saw the legend herself, Marija talk about her mid-year stats on her blog and she really inspired me to do the same thing! So here we are and you’d better grab a snack because I really went ham on the stats and graphs today!

WHAT I’M CURRENTLY READING

The Weight of the Stars
The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #4)

The Weight of the Stars & The Battle of the Labyrinth

I’m currently reading The Weight of Stars by K. Ancrum before I go to bed each night and I’m not very far into it so far but I am absolutely loving it and I already know I’m going to get deeply attached to all of these characters!

I’m also buddy reading The Battle of the Labyrinth with Destiny and I’m not even finished the first chapter yet but I’m excited to dive into this!

WHAT I’M PLANNING ON READING NEXT

Satellite
The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, #5)

My next “before bed” read will be Satellite by Nick Lake which I know almost nothing about but I think it’s about teens raised in space who are now coming to Earth and honestly stories like this have always interested me so I’m really interested to rea this. I also plan on picking up The Last Olympian with Destiny in a week or two and I’m super excited to finish this series out!

Hi all! Welcome back to my blog! This month I’m trying to read something every day so I have a few comics and graphic novels in my BookDeposityory cart! I’m trying to read the comics on my tbr but because of that, I’m running low on new series and sequels to read! I’m also thinking about hosting another Graphic Readathon later in the year, so I’m thinking I’ll slowly try and build up a colourful tbr for that!
