Hearing you speak on the appointment anxiety is so validating. This is why I have to be a morning appointment person. Less time to dwell is best!

found your account yesterday and have just been binging all of your videos i love them!!!
i’m so glad you’re here!!🥹🤍
First- happy belated birthday!!
Second- when you were talking about the wolf guy (from a deal with the elf king) about how he showed up one day and then it was them two against the world but where did he come from- I was literally thinking isn’t that how you adopt a stray dog? LOL! maybe that was the idea?
HAHAHA i hadn’t even thought about it that way🤣 maybe that was the intention!!
The best birthday present 🥹 also happy early birthday :D
omg is it your birthday?? happy birthday!!🥰
@@bookswithellen it is! Thank you ☺️

thank you so much🥹
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLEN
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I NEED that the lakes jumper in my life!!!!!
it’s SO cute isn’t it!! apparently it’s originally off of etsy but i’m not sure where!!
I listen to your videos while doing schoolwork and your just so inspiring, I'm going to read now lol
i’m so glad you like them🥹 enjoy!!
Omg totally relate to the whole appointment thing. If I have an appointment at 5 PM I will not be able to do anything else until 5. It’s actually a symptom of adhd lol
omg the more i hear about adhd traits the more im convinced i have it🤣
@@bookswithellen it’s definitely possible. I’m neurodivergent so know a lot about it but it’s definitely something to look into lol 🤣 x
Happy birthday month!
I LOVE the wrapped up books videos it so much fun to watch.
I am the same when electricians have to come over I can't do anything in case they need anything 😂
Loving the french tips 😍😍
thank you!!!!🥰 and literally i freeze up, it’s so annoying🤣
So happy to have found you Chanel! And the thing you told about anxiety and the fact that if you have an appointment you can’t do anything else, that’s so me too 🫠 So exicted to get to your other videos! I finally a new booktuber to follow 💕
i’m so glad you’re here!!🥹🤍 and i’m glad you can relate and it’s not only me!!
I relate so much to the appointment day paralysis 😂
Every time I look your followers go up!! 🎉
it’s crazy isn’t it!! i feel so lucky🥹
happy birthday month 🥳🫶
thank you🥹
Happy Birthday Ellen! I hope you have an amazing day 🩷 I’m happy you loved mixed feelings I have it in my physical tbr and been thinking of picking it up. Like always I love your videos your content is amazing so keep doing what you’re doing ! 🩷🩷🩷🩷

thank you🤭
Have a great birthday! It’s mine on Friday! 🥳🎉
happy birthday!!🥰🤍
I just screamed when I saw you had posted.
hehehe i hope you enjoyed!!
I feeeeel the one appointment owning a whole day thing hahaha!
literally!!! glad you can relate🤣
@@bookswithellen it's just how it is! Sorry, I have an appointment at 4... I'm booked 🤣
YESSSSSS ❤️❤️❤️
HEHEHE
I do the same thing when someone’s doing work in my house🤣🤣 I hover in the next room or in the hall🫠
LITERALLY🤣🤣 so annoying
Girl you describing the one appointment thing is me. Like I am in awe of people that say they have errands and then tell me what the errands are- about 20 things I'm like how do you even do that.
They probably just look at me like how do I function with my one errand a day 😂
LITERALLY hahahaha🤣 so glad you can relate and it’s not just me!!!
March is also my birth month, I'm so excited 🤗 I'm so happy my fav booktuber shares the same birth month as me hehe :3 I discovered you at the beginning of the year and I spent a full week binge watching all your videos so now I'm always happily waiting for the next one 🥰 love from France 🇫🇷 🫶
omg happy early birthday!! hope you have a lovely day🤍 and thank you so much for being here!
I felt the anxiety so hard 🫠 not taking any people to my house to do stuff unless it‘s really necessary aaaand I think the nails actually look amazing! Suit you really well 😌
literally i think of my car ever gets damaged again im just gonna leave it😭 can’t cope with people in my house. and thank you!!❤️
haha I love that you had to read "A Million Kisses in Your Lifetime". Personally, the Lancasters and Monica Murphy and I don't get along but every time I talk to my friends they love it. That's how taste is different :) love the video!!!
yeah i’ve heard a lot of people loving it!! just really wasn’t for me🥴 and thank you for being here!!❤️
I totally understand why you didn’t like a deal with the elf king. I gave it a 3 stars because I thought it was just ok. The fantasy world was also very confusing to me as well and I heard the other books in the series r worse than the first book. Good thing the series is on kindle unlimited 😅 Also Happy Birthday🎉
it fell so flat for me!! so glad you agree🤣 and thank you!!
The same feeling you have with the elf book I have with a series called Tales of the Edge by Rebecca Zahabi. The series is written in a simplistic way, but apart from cute, it didn't give me any other feeling
exactly!!
Girl, I feel you on the anxiety. I'm selling my house so a home inspector had to come do the inspection on Wednesday. I sat there for three hours doing nothing but trying to seem likeable.
OMG LITERALLY!!! that sums it up perfectly, sitting there trying to seem likeable. it’s so draining!!
@bookswithellen - I was exhausted from all that nothing I did.
YESYESYES
🫡🫡
I SO relate to not being able to do anything else than impatiently wait for an apt, sometimes I even begin feeling anxious about apts a week prior 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I literally have an apt on Tuesday and another Thursday and my stomach hurts so much from anxiety ☹️
Anyway, love your videos xx
LITERALLY!! i had this nail appointment booked like 4 days in advance and i couldn’t sleep in the days leading up to it😭😭 it’s so ridiculous!!
Sad that two books weren't so great. But great reading vlog
it’s such a fun video to film as well!! need to do more wrapped up vids in the future
Happy early birthday wishes for the 6th (I think you said) 🎉🥂🍾🧁
thank you so much!!🥳
And Ewww the whole chastity thing with her dad! Just finishing up your video 😊
You could keep them wrapped and just add it as a special book for your monthly tbr until they’re done xoxo
wait what’s such a good idea!!!! thank you🫡
Where did you get your A24 hoodie? I love it!
i got it directly from their website about 6 years ago!! i had to have it shipped to an american address and then over to the uk🤣
The anxiety stuff is so annoying. I have to occasionally do Zoom calls and no one understands how their request for a 30 minute zoom call completely derail my day up until that call lol
OMG YES!! i do teams calls at my job and honestly i had one at 3pm on friday and best believe i was an anxious mess up until that point. so glad someone else feels this way!!!!!
❤❤❤
🤭❤️
I know ur gonna be like hayley ,sara,destiny,ali,and alexa soon😊❤❤❤
that makes me so happy😭😭
O myy gosh ,u DESERVE ITT. Btw, lovee uuuu❤❤❤😊
Love your videos❤....
Would like to recommend you 3 Indian movies (Mollywood)... Manjummel boys (survival thriller), Premalu (romcom), Bramayugam (horror thriller)
They're so good... highly recommended 💯
thank you!!❤️
i haven’t even read a million kisses in your lifetime and i knew you weren’t going to like it 😭
HAAHAHAHA i should have known by reading the blurb😭😭
I actually bought A million kisses in your lifetime and then sold in on Vinted because I didn’t hear any good reviews 😅
honestly it’s best avoided😅
I loved the premise for Deal with the Elf King and I love Elisa Kova, but it fell so short of what it could have been. And the chemistry was just not there the whole book and then WHAM, she realizes that he's the love of her life at the very end. To be honest, the only one of the series I've really liked so far (haven't read the wolf king one yet) was the Vampire one, all the rest just really fell flat for me and I was so bummed because I was so excited for this series to come out. And that purity ring thing - weirds me out way big, but it's actually not that uncommon in very conservative families/churches. I've actually seen what I can only call a ceremony of sorts where the daughter took a vow of purity and the mom and dad gave the daughter a promise ring in return. It definitely always made me extremely uncomfortable when it happened, that's for sure.
omg yes i agree with literally everything you said!!! massive lack of chemistry for me with deal with the elf king, feel like i got whiplash when they decided they were suddenly in love with each other. the purity ring thing defo made me suuuper uncomfy as well
oh no i had BK Borison on my tbr and Deal with the elf king… might be a pass now 😂
defo read bk horizon!!!! i adore her🤍 but i would give the elf king a miss hahaha
please tell me i can read In the weeds without reading the 1 book, bc im not really feeling christmas vibes right now🙃🤣
yep im also that person, when i was still working i would do nothing until i had to go to work :( this type of anxiety is awful.
kinda sad bc a deal with the elf king is one of my fav books :(
you defo can!! you can read them in any order🥰 wish i had loved a deal with the elf king🥲 was so excited for it for so long
Girl I just bought a million kisses in your lifetime 😅 and usually if you dislike a book, then I’ll dislike it haha lucky I have the receipt still
omg thankfully you have the receipt😭😭 i really was not a fan
@@bookswithellen HAHA i'm so glad you read it first lol, now i won't have to waste my time loathing it 😂❤
❤❤❤
🤍🤍
