Graphics Recommendations (graphic novels, manga & comics) + My Immediate Graphics TBR

~ Ellyn ~ 8 Comments

Hey everyone, welcome or welcome back to my blog! Graphicsathon round 6 is fast approaching (July 11 – 17) so I figured it was about time I recommended some graphics on my blog, since I haven’t in a while! This is a pretty long list because I tried to include a whole bunch of different genres, so grab a drink and I hope you find some new graphics for your tbr!

What’s a graphic? Anything with images as the main storytelling feature. aka. graphic novels, comics and manga.

✨ Graphicsathon round 5 announcement! ✨ | my tbr + recommendations 💕

~ Ellyn ~ 10 Comments

Hi everyone. welcome or welcome back to my blog if you’re new! I’ve been co-hosting the Graphicsathon for a few years now with some of my blogging friends and it’s finally that time of year again! We’re back for round 5 and this round we’re switching things up! Last year we ended the year with a cramathon weekend where we tried to read whatever was left on our tbr for the year. And to kick off 2022 and keep ourselves accountable we’re reading a graphic every day of February, 28 in total!

Our main goal for the readathon is to read a graphic every day but we recognise that everyone’s day looks different and that 28 is a big number so we’re still counting it as a big win if everyone reads every day, even if it’s just a page of your current graphic! We still want this to be a laid back readathon, this is just a fun challenge so don’t pressure yourselves to read 28 if that isn’t an attainable goal for you! It can be 28 graphics read in 28 days or you could modify the goal to reading for 28 days (not necessarily finishing 28 things. It’s up to you and I can’t wait to see all your tbrs and wrap ups! 💕

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!

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!
