However many books you read really doesn't matter to me (and us) as long as you're still posting video's! Don't pressure yourself to read something that can also be read later with a more relaxed experience 💜
There was actually a trilogy that goes before dance of thieves and it helps with the world and the understanding for dance of thieves. love your queen❤
I felt the same way with Dance of Thieves! I couldn’t even finish the first book. Slow burn is key for me and the romance moved too quickly to keep my attention. Totally get where you are coming from.
we literally had the same opinion on when the moon hatched, quicksilver, however... i fear i had to dnf. Really wanted to like it :( but happy you did bestie xxx
just here to say that I love your channel! I found your channel recently and have this thing where I have to watch every single video starting from the oldest to current, so that I can be up to date. I was SOO nervous for your quicksilver review! I read it last month and am OBSESSED. I also read it in 24 hours, then immediately reread with the audiobook. I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It has very mixed reviews throughout the book community. But I am a vibe reader and it was perfect for me. Also unpopular opinion, but I love the cover!! Because I love Kingfisher so so so much. Can’t believe we have to wait until Fall 2025 for book 2😭😭
This was such an interesting video! I’m a little way through when a moon hatched on kindle but struggling, ordered the physical to see if that will help! Finally signed up to Patreon too 😂
I'm so nervous about reading when the moon hatched 😅 i got it because I saw a lot of good reviews but i feel like lately I've been seeing some not that amazing reviews 🙈 great reading vlog as always Ellen ❤
I just finished Quicksilver yesterday… took me a month to read because I really didn’t like the first 35% but I’m very glad I pushed through because the rest was really good!!
Really love your review of when the moon hatched. I have very similar views on this book, but I am willing to give the author another chance. Love your videos!!! 🥰
Hi Ellen! I just wanted to ask something that’s a little personal. How do you balance everything in your life? You have your UA-cam channel (which means all the reading you do), your job, choir, other hobbies and your boyfriend. I’m currently struggling to do everything. I work three jobs and one of them is coaching a high school sport so I have to go to games and competitions every Friday and Saturday. The boyfriend is a new edition, and I’m struggling to try to add him in to everything. If you have any advice I would really appreciate it!
I loved When the Moon Hatched and Dance of Thieves but your critiques make total sense. I really want to read Quicksilver although I'll definitely have to find the edition that has the other cover or wait for a new one to come out.😂
I really recommend A Ruin of Roses series by KF Breene. It’s very adult and spicy with a great action fantasy story. It’s one of my favourite series and it’s 4 books long. It’s one of the few series that actually made me laugh out loud and the enjoyment levels of this series is 10/10. Love this video 🥰
Reading is really subjective. I hated "Quicksilver." I read "When the Moon Hatched" twice, once in February and again in May. I kind of understand what you mean about the audiobook. The second time I read it, I tried pairing it with the audiobook, but I had to drop it halfway through. I hated it; the audiobook seemed to reduce the quality of the book. I don’t know if that makes sense. On the other hand, "The Dance of Thieves" duology is quite possibly one of my all-time favorites.
I don't know if you've ever read Crier's War but I feel like it would be suuuper up your alley - fantasy/scifi, slow burn, enemies to lovers, SAPPHIC - it is young adult but written incredibly well and also the slow burn is ACTUALLY a slow burn. It's also free on Kindle Unlimited ! (shoutout to my gf who read it first and recommended it to me :))
Love animal crossing! I only play from time to time but it is so fun! The sibling comment made me think of star wars 😂😂 no need to apologise! Also please do not stress about reading - it's meant to be pleasure not a chore ❤❤❤

50 minutes of fantasy reading vlog???? I am sat!!! ❤
Don't worry about giving a book a bad review we are watching your content for ur opinion
I just finished “when the moon hatched” did NOT like it 🤦♀️ took me a month to make myself get through it. I hope others enjoy it more than I did
I don't know if you've ever read Crier's War but I feel like it would be suuuper up your alley - fantasy/scifi, slow burn, enemies to lovers, SAPPHIC - it is young adult but written incredibly well and also the slow burn is ACTUALLY a slow burn.

omg that sounds PERFECT!! i’ve heard of it before but never properly looked into it!! thank you!🤍
loveee that you’ve gotten into animal crossing!! who are your first two villagers??
Nooooo, you picked the wrong one at the end lol. These Hollow Vows is ACOTAR coded ❤❤❤❤ love love love it. Please read asap 😊
Right? It's one of my fav duologies. Will patently wait for her to read it now 😂
Wow, Ellen, this is a much-awaited video on my end.....
I'm sorry you didn't like 2 of your books that's alwaysdisappointing. I love your reading vlogs though! 💜 xoxo Emma
I felt the same way about When The Moon Hatched. 😢 2 star for me. I gained nothing.
Love animal crossing! I only play from time to time but it is so fun!
The sibling comment made me think of star wars 😂😂 no need to apologise!
Also please do not stress about reading - it's meant to be pleasure not a chore ❤❤❤
Thanx for the video ma belle🥹❤️
not me watching this whilst playing animal crossing on my switch
Does anyone have the link to nicer Quicksilver cover for UK? ❤
I don't think they're available anymore as it's been picked up by a traditional publisher for re-release in December
Thank you
You should read the Remnant Chronicles first before dance of thieves. Otherwise you may not like it as much
