Glad to see a video pop up. I think I found your channel through the SFF awards. Glad to see you are reading even if we don’t get to see it all. Whatever happens with the channel I wanted to say thanks 🙏
Thank you so much. I love a good reading challenge and making my own has really helped me tailor it to my interests and keeping the tbrs short and sweet to keep my interest in what I pick.
WELCOME BACK!! I am on book tube for the same reason as you, I love the chat but I agree with you it had stopped and I felt a bit of a lul too, and I realised I wasn't commenting on other videos much either and so I am trying to step that up too :)
So glad you chose to come and record my lovely 😍 you have been missed and was one of my regular views, sorry if the chat wasn't fulfilling for you, Ron sounds a fun handful. Love your honesty on your reads 📚 some channels did put pressure on a certain type of read but I only follow those who read for pleasure these days like me xx
@elenareadsbooks88 mixed bag really, in to police procedurals like Dr Ruth Galloway by Elly Griffiths, still drawn to Asian translated fiction like the coffee shop books and Bullet Train with some Priory of the Orange Tree and Atlas Six thrown in for good measure, Beth OLeary is one of my relaxing romance reads and audio wise I have started the Terry Pratchett books as a reread from my teenage years, Laura Purcell and Stacey Hall books for something historically bent and some aussie crime with Jane Harper. Brooke is into Shadow and Bones so I am going to give the first book a go so she can talk to me about some of her favourite characters xx
Oooo and the second season of shadow and bone is out on tv soon too. I’m not much into police procedural I think I’m still on a hangover from reading so many of them when I was in my twenties 😂 I haven’t heard of those historical writers I’m going to look them up as I’ve been wanting to read more historical fiction recently x
Good to see you back! 🎉❤ Hope to see you again. It's so creative how you come up with reading based on your favorite TV shows. I loved watching your Ru Paul's Drag Race reading "game." 📚
I just love a good tbr game and like to fit the theme with what I’m into so the next one is going to be themed around cults cause they are my latest obsession to read and watch series about
So happy to see you back, even if it's just a check in! I'd love to hear more about your diagnosis. My daughter was diagnosed early on, at 22 months old, so I don't know much about the adult end of being diagnosed. Welcome back :)
So happy to hear from you! Glad you are doing well and the family as well. I'm so sorry you weren't getting the conversations you had hoped for. I'm one that usually just watches and I don't comment much. BUT I do miss hearing from you. Keep doing what makes you happy and I'll see you around! Take care!!
You were the reason I picked up classic literature as a teenager !! This was back in…. Probably 2015-2016? I of course, support you no matter what you choose to do, but it does bring me excitement to see you post again! Sorry for falling out of the community… your timing is actually impeccable, as I fell out of reading as an adult and crave getting back into it!! Thank you so much for your contributions to this community and updating us on your life! Love and support from the US!!💞
Aw that is so lovely and thank you for taking the time to comment it means a lot. I don’t know if I can inspire you much with classics anymore as I tend to not read them as much. But if fantasy or romance intrigue you or graphic novels then I’m your gal
@@elenareadsbooks88 thanks for replying! Graphic novels and romance are great! I’ll definitely need to work my way back up to the classics anyway lol :P I can’t wait to see what recommendations you have this year :)
Hi Elena! It's so nice to see you back! I'm glad things have been doing well, and that's awesome about the diagnosis! It must feel so good to know. I recently started watching Love is Blind too and I'm obsessed! Highly recommend the Japanese version if you haven't watched it. I bought A Magic Steeped in Poison last year but haven't read it yet, I need to move it up my tbr! I hope to see you again soon!
I does feel good I think mainly because I felt like maybe I was just a problem in some areas of my life and it has allowed me to be gentler on myself and that has been massive. I will definitely have to check out the Japanese version the more I can watch the merrier I’m such a sucker for a love drama. 😂
@@elenareadsbooks88 That makes a lot of sense, I'm happy for you! Yesss watch it! It's kind of different from the US version because they're much more reserved, but I loved it. I hope to hear what you think of it!
Got so excited when you popped up on my subscribed! Love your videos, and epically how creative you are with your Tbr,s and reading challenges. Hope you stick around! Xx
I know I struggle to choose sometimes because I’m not really into the more women’s fiction romances but all the ones with more steam or romance at the forefront seem to have a naked man on and I then pre judge that they won’t have substance and that just isn’t the case much of the time
Glad to see a video pop up. I think I found your channel through the SFF awards. Glad to see you are reading even if we don’t get to see it all. Whatever happens with the channel I wanted to say thanks 🙏
Aw thank you. I’m definitely still reading just finished Project Hail Mary which was a really good book 👍
@@elenareadsbooks88 I still have to get to that. Thanks for the rec
It's great to see you again. Your Strictly Come Dancing game sounds so fun! I hope your reading year has had a good start.

Hey, thanks!
Hiii, really fantastic to see you again! Happy Reading ❤️
Thank you! 🤗
Hi lovely, true to form I'm watching this 2 months late 😂❤ cant wait to start Love is Blind S4 😅
Great to see you, Elena! 😁
Thank you! 😃
Got so excited when you popped up on my subscribed! Love your videos, and epically how creative you are with your Tbr,s and reading challenges.
Hope you stick around! Xx
Aw thank you I hope to fill you all in on the new tbr game when I’ve finished making it x
Glad you are doing well and I’ll look forward to seeing more videos if you choose to be on here more. ❤
Thank you x
Hello, lovely to see you back 🙂
Hey lovely hope you are doing well too and the little one? X
@@elenareadsbooks88 aww thank you, yeah we are OK she had two hip surgeries last year so it's all been a bit hectic but we are good apart from that xx
Elena! I’ve missed your face!
I need to try Lucy score. What’s your favorite?
I hate romance covers with half naked men on, as you say it lowers my expectation and over serialised what can be a great romance story
I know I struggle to choose sometimes because I’m not really into the more women’s fiction romances but all the ones with more steam or romance at the forefront seem to have a naked man on and I then pre judge that they won’t have substance and that just isn’t the case much of the time
Lovely to see you back 😊
Thank you! 😊
Lovely to see you back
