reading all of THRONE OF GLASS for the first time! 🏰🗡️🔥 [with spoilers] PART 1
tbh I've also been in a reading slump when it comes to books for a few years, but then I started reading manga and I've been enjoying myself a lot with them. I think I'm also just so burned out from books due to studying so much in Uni, but things like manga and hell, even fanfiction, is a joy to read for some reason
manga and fics are such a go-to when i'm in a reading slump, especially if i've read it already and i know i'm gonna enjoy myself
Also, One Dark Window is fantastic and the sequel is even better. It's got everything. Total page-turner.
do you think i should read it while i'm in a reading slump or not 🤔
@@elenareads_ I did and it pulled me right out of it. There was no hype around it then, so I wasn't reluctant to start it and damn it was good.
okay perfect thank you sm 🫶
"and if not, i guess I'll just go fuck myself" 😂 such a vibe
i've literally tried everything if this doesn't work it's over for me 😭
I feel for you and your reading slump, I hope you find something to get you out of it. I think that what i usually do is do a reread of a favourite and that most often gets me going again. Interesting that you didn't like Emma, it seems so popular and I love when someone has a deviating opionion about a popular book. I love used books. I love giving love to someones unhauled books.
rereading is my go to but it didn't work this time 😭 i just really didn't like emma as a character so the whole book was a pain to me 😔 and SAME i just donated some books that will hopefully find a better home with someone else 🩷
Is it gay book?
not this one 😊
Thank you for the video, Elena. I just impulse bought a physical copy of an audiobook I'm currently listening to and it's going to be my first annotated book and I'm so scared but excited. Oh, and thank you for the links too 🤭
aw you're so welcome, i'm glad i could help!! have so so much fun annotating 😉
I'm so glad you enjoyed This Woven Kingdom! Have you read The Spice Road? It's got similar vibes (imo) and I think you might like it
wait i haven't who's it by?
@@elenareads_ it's by Maiya Ibrahim! It's Arabian inspired and includes tea magic
oh i will definitely check it out thanks bestie 🫶
That sucks that you had such a rough reading month 😩😩 hopefully July is better!!
i do feel better so fingers crossed! 🤞

This Woven Kingdom was pretty good - I remember hardly anything about it and I didn't understand a lot of what was going on but it made sense in the end so don't worry if the prose sounds a bit ridiculous at times
i actually ended up reading it and i loved it!!
@@elenareads_ awesome :) I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it in a later video
I just found your channel. I hope your reads are going well. Have a great rest of the month.
thank you! and you too 😊
I I want tabs, stickies, colored pens and regular pens just so I can make it look any easier for me to remember
I need the right materials. I don’t want to get a marker and ruin my thing I like all yours I could you can market it, but you can still see the writing
honestly, the scariest part is starting! you dont need fancy stationary you can learn to have fun with what you have ✨️ good luck!! 🤞
I want to use tabs, but I also want to learn how to write the book and not make a mess. You know right no like you say maybe you’re a picture or something
I am a little scared, but I wanna learn because I feel that really will help me remembered things better and be able to go back to certain points in the book that I
This looks like a good the also the prompt for the dedication is such an original idea I love it
awe thank you!
i barely read anything in may due to 😐math exam and work😐, so i'm hoping to read lots in june. my tbr as of now (could very much change throughout the month as im a big mood reader) is: the hobbit by tolkien, happy place and book lovers by emily henry, the wind in the willows by grahame and continue on with dracula by bram stoker (please do not remind me of the count of monte cristo)
you got this!! and also I LOVE BOOK LOVERS SM
i was yelling at you to pick blue lily lily blue the whole video haha - i love the raven cycle! hope you enjoy it
your manifesting worked! i'm in love with the series so far
Scythe is such a fast read and so easy to read as well so you will end up flying through it. I hope you enjoy all of these
ooh that's good to know thank you 😊
i have a math exam at the end of may and therefore need to spend the month doing math, so no reading for me :((
bestie that sounds like my own personal hell i'm so sorry
i have the exact same problem with book lovers.. have every book in us cover except book lovers 😭
we can never win 😭
if u want non-fiction recommendations, i recommend "im glad my mom died" by jennette mccurdy
i don't really read non-fiction but if i'm ever in the mood i'll give it a go! <3
let's not talk about the count of monte cristo... i have not read a single page since february 😬
i've read 20 or so but it's going SO slow, the book itself is really fun tho
I have just finished annotating my first book, it was chaotic. I def, need to clean up my annotating, but I appreciate that it is a journey. I do this solely for my self, for having fun and for healing my inner child that was forbidden to even do the slightest dog ear in a book.
i'm so happy you're doing this to heal something in yourself. yes, it's a journey but it's SUCH a fun one <3
Also, I look more like my aunt than my parents. As long as a trait is in your family genes, a baby can inherit them.
idk how i didn't think of this when i literally have green eyes and my parents don't 😭
@@elenareads_ Lol, I hope I didn't offend you in saying this.
oh my god no ofc not! i love listening to other people's opinions don't even worry about it 🫶
Okay, I agree with your views on this book, except the hair color. I have a friend who has dark hair, and her husband has red hair and their kids both have very blonde hair. The kids have their dad's sister's hair. And before you say anything, they are definitely his kids, they look exactly like him apart from the hair, so it is possible to have different hair than their parents.
so i might not have thought about it this way before 😅 thank you for this 😊
The Cruel Prince series is a lot. Not in terms of complexity or world building... Or character development. But it's bleak and frustrating. It's easy to get sucked in, but I didn't often enjoy myself when I was there. If that makes any sense. You definitely need to be in the right mood for that series.
i just finished the first book and that's EXACTLY what i felt like thank you for putting so perfectly
I like the added challenge for the odd numbers. Also this looks like such a good tbr I hope you enjoy them all
i'm hoping i actually get to all of them this month 😅
your videos are constantly reminding me that i also need to read the cruel prince, cause my friend bought it for me 😭
we're really struggling together on all fronts huh 😭
You’ll love the first chapter 😊
@@elenareads_ yeah 😭
I love TBR games! They’re my favorite videos and how I discover most people I follow before I dive into the rest of their content. Either that or annotating help (the way I found yours!) Im a mood reader that can’t make decisions on what to read so I struggle a lot either way lol
there's something about watching tbrs that's so addicting! i'm also a mood reader but i do my best to get through the tbr hahah
@@elenareads_ I love the setting the goal part of a TBR and also having my choices narrowed down for me since I struggle with decisions when there’s too many options 🤣 Agree about the addicting factor to watching them!
I really want to get to The Prison Healer series this year. And I also love Cassandra Clare books, I am up to the point to start the Last Hours Trilogy now ❤
the prison healer is really fun so i say go for it and HAVE FUN WITH THE LAST HOURS that series is also SO good 💛
This looked like so much fun and Greece looks so beautiful! I’m in the USA and Greece is my dream vacation if I could be to go anywhere-one day I’ll make it there 😊
oh my god if you have the chance you should definitely go it's SO beautiful
When you mentioned Spirit the movie I had flashbacks bc I was obsessed with that movie when I was younger omg 😂
i rewatched it recently and bawled my eyes out 😂
i read 9 books in march! and 3 of them where 5 stars!! 😁
BESTIE THAT'S SO GOOD
Hi Elena! I also annotate, and it helps me dive into a story better. I like a lot of books on your shelves... are you Goodreads?
it's still a work in progress because i need to add all the books but this is it! www.goodreads.com/user/show/175686720-elena
I LOVE THE VLOG <3 also, hi to you too! IT WAS A FUN EVENTFUL WEEKEND 🫶🏻
I'M SO GLAD AND YES IT WAS VERY FUN 💛
Does god of malice have happy ending?
yes!
hiiii I just found your channel, and I’m so glad I did!! the way you talk about books is so engaging (: I thought it was so funny when you’re were talking about how much you hated that one book but still gave it 3.75 stars lol
waking up to this message made my whole day! thank you so much 🫶 i'm so glad you enjoyed it. and i think i just got really into it talking about what i didn't like 😂
bro me at the library when i wanna borrow a manga series, first book is never there 🙃
IT'S ALWAYS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
i read 6 books in february!!
THAT'S SO GOOD <3 i'm so proud of you bestie 🤩
@@elenareads_thank youuuu!! none of it was thr count of monte cristo 💀
mine either girlie 😂
my friend gifted me the cruel prince some months ago, so i should probably get to it eventually as well 🥲
i've had it for a year and it's just been sitting there 😭
im sad to admit im in a massive reading slump rn, so i`ve not continued on with the count since i reached chapter 3 💔💔
it's okay!! pls don't stress i also haven't continued 🫶
i have some of the transparent sticky notes, and it turns out they only really work with ballpoint pens and pencils, which was a bit of a bummer because i only really use gel pens to make notes. however, i definitely think that they'd be useful for those that don't want to write in their books and don't want to block the pages with the paper ones!! i guess it depends on the person. great video!! <3 :)
oh yeah i've seen people say they smudge if you use gel pens 😕, glad you liked the video!
Try oil based pens for the transparent sticky notes. They work great!
@@NoraSalvatore1 ooooo!!! will do, thank you!! <3
I love the losers duet it’s so good!
I also dnfd carnival I skilled right to once upon a broken heart that series was good
i'm OBSESSED with the losers duet i can't stop thinking about it 😭
i don't know if i'm gonna read ouabh to be honest but i'm so glad you loved it!
i'm excited 😁
me too you have no idea 🥳
WE`RE GONNA BUDDY READ THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO!!
YES WE ARE !!
THE CARAVAL RANT IM LAUGHING SO BAD
I DIDN'T WANNA HURT YOUR FEELINGS I SWEAR
@@elenareads_ THEYRE NOT I SWEAR ITS SO FUNNY i actually never saw things from that perspective
i'm glad i could broaden your horizons 😭
Love this video I can’t wait to start doing this for the first time for the only book I have ever bought and love so much (the night circus by morgenstern) I’m almost done with my 3rd read of this book and I am NOT a book Re reader or a book buyer lol 😂 I am a kindle/Libby app and audio book girl all day long
oh my god wait i'm so happy for you! i reread all the time 😅
@@elenareads_ im such a slow reader maybe that’s why and I have lots of other books I want to read
Tristan Caine WAS toast!!! so funny
i was laughing reading it 😂😂
