let's talk most anticipated NEW RELEASES of 2024
The color scheme of your books is perfect. I hope your reads go well. Have a great month.
thank you! i hope you have a good month too.
can i get your email?
This was such a fun concept. Loving the all in with the tops and the frame. 🙌
glad you loved it! it took me so long to edit 😭
@@elenareads_ I can imagine! I am very impressed. I have a youtune channel dedicated to a different subject and I have no clue how to edit at all. I try to do everything in one take and have no special effects. 😂 So I am in awe when I see something like this.
my laptop was STRUGGLING trying to keep up, i usually just go for simple editing, don't think we'll be seeing smth like this for a while 😭
@@elenareads_ Can I ask what you use to edit, like what app program? 🙏
i don't gatekeep things here! i use kdenlive, it's free to use and it's so beginner friendly while allowing you to use more complicated features as you get used to it. it has helped me so much i highly recommend it 😊
THE DIFFERENT COLOURED SHIRTS SHUT UPPP THIS is so cooll
THANK YOU BESTIE i was sweating so much
Choosing peace always needs to be an option. The last book I DNF's was actually Dial A for Auntie by Jesse Q Sutanto. I was so disspointed that I didn't like it but I chose not to torture myself and just pick another book to read.
i love that for us!!
I hated the book, gave me creepy chills, left it in middle, couldn't stand Killian and Glyn too
i'm so glad you chose peace and didn't finish it 😂
I am reading Things We Never Got Over right now. So far, I am enjoying it and am looking forward to continuing the series. I hope your reads go well.
so glad you're enjoying it! i recently finished the second book and i love that one too 😊
I discovered your channel through this video. Thanks for taking us along - Happy Reading! 😎📚👍
glad you liked it!! 😊 happy reading!!
"In the beningin" made me laugh so hard 😭😭😭
i was losing my mind editing because I CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE IT'S FROM
Your nails ARE the cutest i luv u
thank you!! ILY 🫶
The wheel matches the color palette of the dead romantics which is kinda ironic 😭
STOP IT DOES 😭
What a fun concept with the spin the wheel, I'm gonna save that idea for whenever I am in a reading slump.
you definitely should!! it's super fun and it gets you back into the habit of reading
Yay! So glad you're enjoying One Dark Window! The second book is even better. Just an absolute banger of a duology.
i just finished it and it was so good i don't know what to do with myself bc i don't have the second one 😭
@@elenareads_ oh no! Maybe get the ebook version while you wait to get a physical copy in the mail or from a library? That's what I do cause I can't wait for shit
i'm actually going travelling in like two days so i might get it there!
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 💛
