I could now say I’m obsessed with sarah adams writing. The duology was sooo good!!
honestly adored them so much more than i thought i would!! so glad i picked them up
Iike if you love Ellen’s videos! ⬇️
hehehe love u🥰
I honestly don’t think I could ever do a 24hr reading challenge it seems so exhausting 😭
honestly it DRAINS me but it’s also so fun🤭
I randomly picked up Practice Makes Perfect last December and absolutely devoured it. It became my favourite read of the year. I didn’t even know it was interconnected with When In Rome until I went searching for more books by Sarah Adams. Let’s just say she immediately became an auto-buy author for me. I’m usually not a contemporary romance girly but I have officially been converted!
i was so surprised by it as well!!
Same to me! Sarah Adams became my cozy author ♡
I honestly think that if you loved When in Rome and Practice makes perfect that much you'll also reaaaally enjoy the cheat sheet. cheat sheet does give more standard rom-commie vibes in my opinion but not in a bad way at all!
Just reading this one myself and I’m enjoying it so much! So cheesy but in a lovely way.
oohhh amazing!! i’m so tempted to pick it up after loving the other ones so much. love me a cheesy rom com every so ofyen
Loved the Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams and am currently half way through When In Rome! I’m quickly becoming a fan!
i can’t wait to get to the cheat sheet!!
The comparison to love island. Hahah I love that sm
hahaha it just felt right🤣🫣
Congratulations on hitting over 10k 🥳🥳🥳

Hey Ellen! So happy that you enjoyed When in Rome. I am currently listening to it and loving it! Will pick up the next one soon but currently reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue as it has been on my tbr forever. As you say, It's time Babe, it's time. 😊

I love when in Rome and practice makes perfect but I personally think that they are way better than the cheat sheet, love your vlogs and I’m glad that you love them tho xx
ooohhh okay, i think im gonna give it a go and see how i get on!! glad you liked the video🥰
All in my TBR i love i find your chanel we have the same taste in books I'm always happy to watch your videos because I know I will enjoy the books you recommend ❤ and I don't waste my time on random books 😂
True I always love the books she recommends
i love it when i find people with the same tastes!! makes the recommendations so much better🤣 glad you like my videos!!🤍🫶🏻
omg ur monstera plant is gorgeous
omg thank u🥹 it’s grown SO much since i first got it hahaha i always feel so proud
getting an acotar tshirt from vinted? slayyyyyyy 🔥 I was also soo surprised with how good when in rome was too and so excited to read practice makes perfect, especially seeing you say it's even better!
I KNOW i felt so lucky to find it hahahaha. hope you end up loving practice makes perfect!!
I work night shifts so I may just have to do a 24 hour read to prep for the first of my shifts!
I loved When In Rome, so I will have to get the next one. I’m currently reading one of her other books - Cheat Sheet and I love it even more than When in Rome. Cheesy, funny, overall goodness. 😊
i used to work nights, and used to do 24 hour all nighters, and it never occurred to me to do a readthaon in that time🤣 feel like it was wasted potential now hahaha!! wish i had
@@bookswithellen 😅😅 definitely a good idea! Although I’m quite lucky as we’re allowed to read/watch TV on nights and I did manage to read the entirety of Ugly Love on one night shift last month 😅
Great video❤️❤️❤️
i’m glad you enjoyed!!🥰
I really liked The Cheat Sheet. 💚🏈
i’m defo gonna pick it up soon!! fell in love with sarah adams’ writing🫶🏻
Ohhh love the nails. That is your shape 👌🏾
thank you!!
@@bookswithellen oh and now that I got to the end of the vid, the mindF series gets better, imo. Just finished the re-read whilst waiting for MP into the dark and the adrenaline rush was still there for me. The ending was a bit meh for me though
That's so funny I just finished the Mindfuck series last week. I agree the first two books are just build up. Just pure entertainment. The third book is good. But the last two books are great! They're such fun mindless reads.
ohhh okay maybe i need to read on then!! i swear everyone i’ve spoken to has adored it so i need to give it another go🤣
Deal with the elf king was a good book, you should have picked up that one ,it was a better choice the chemistry and everything was great in the book,gave it 4.25 🌟
i’m really excited to get to it!!
I also bought practice makes perfect due to the 99p deal. Have not read when in Rome though. I've only read 10% of practice makes perfect so far however, I do agree that it is cute so far
i hope you end up loving it!
@@bookswithellen Now finished the book. I rated it 4 ⭐ Was cute but something felt slightly missing. With more thought it could be bumped to a 4.5 if I find myself thinking about it
I’d love to do a 24 hour readathon but my adhd would get in the way 🥲
Love your lipgloss/lipstick what is it?? 😂❤❤
omg thank u!!🥹 i use the glossier balm dot com in ‘hot cocoa’, it’s like a tinted lip balm i love it!!
@@bookswithellen thank you! You look stunning ❤️❤️
❤❤❤
🥰🥰
I loveeeee when in Rome series there are two more future books ❤ but I wouldn’t recommend the cheat sheet 🙈 it’s not as fun as the two other and it feels like college if not high school romance bc the characters are acting immature more like the FMC is just … pickme
omg i didn’t know there were gonna be more!! that’s so exciting🤭 and oh no, i think i might give it a go but im defo not a fan of immature/pick me characters🫣
I’m early yay!
🥳🥳
i love these videos, but 24hrs sounds actually impossible for me lmaoo
honestly it’s TOUGH i don’t think i could ever do it without any sleep
have you read check and mate????
i haven’t! i’m not really interested as i don’t read YA
the cheat sheet is definitely fade to black, and it’s also not wonderful in my opinion.
ooohh okay!
hey i'm 13 and wanted to read practise makes perfect, is it spicy?
There are some references and some heavy kissing scenes but no explicit spice at all.
By the Book is also a nice spice-free romance I just read.
Hope this helps!
hey!! there’s no explicit spice but there are definitely scenes that heavily hint at it - i think it might be a tad too mature for 13!! however there are loaaads of wonderful YA romances like better than the movies/betting on you etc. by lynn painter!! maybe try those out if you haven’t already🥰
@@bookswithellen thank you !!
@@CH-jj8wk thanks x
