This vlog was NOT boring girl! I liked seeing you chill and reading 💕 CC3 thoughts: I have not finished it yet but I really agree with you on the dynamic between Bryce and Hunt and how Bryce is acting in this book. I hate how she is keeping everything a secret..

i’m so glad you agree with me!! i’ve seen quite a few reviews that say similar things. really hoping we get a bit of development in the next one!!

Oooohhh kinda regret buying the book now 😅 I love rural fantasy compared to urban fantasy although the only urban fantasy I've read was shadow hunter series. Well at least it will look pretty on my shelf which honestly is the reason why I purchased it 😂, I've only just started the sarah j maas series finished reading acotar yesterday starting a court of Mist and Fury now. I think I'll just stick to buying ebooks for cc (i know i did it backwards but I like buying in physical shops but all the ones near me only sell recent hardback releases.) Also not me crying listening to the first song on that playlist. Anyhow I'm off to read the acomaf but I love watching your videos and your energy, like many others have said this video was not boring and now I've found a new playlist to read with 😁

@bookswithellen 5 ай бұрын

never knew it was called rural fantasy!!! but that’s defo my favourite too. i hope you LOVE a court of mist and fury, it’s my favourite book to ever exist, i adore it. the playlist is perfect as well isn’t it!!!

@louisejames9064 5 ай бұрын

One of my favourite videos to watch! It was not boring at all, felt like a chilled reading hang out! Looking forward to the 24 hour reading vlog too - wonder if it will be themed! I have been debating whether or not to get into the SJMass universe. Should I start with ACOTAR or TOG if I do in your opinion?

@bookswithellen 5 ай бұрын

omg YES you need to read them!!! i think start with ACOTAR for sure, it’s a lot easier to get into i think when you’re just starting with sarah j maas. although you love priory of the orange tree so i reckon you’ll be fine with the fantasy level as it’s FAR lower🤣 you’ll have to let me know if you do read it!!

I think Sarah J Maas said that this was the final book for Bryce and Hunt's story. However, since there are 4 houses in CC (and each book is named after a different house) there is a possibility for CC4 which will be about one of the side characters that she has in mind (but she didn't say who!)

hi!! thank you🥰 i use the sony zv-1 for my camera, although to be honest i wouldn’t recommend as the battery life is awful, and it zooms in a lot!! i use the røde microphone and i adore it, so would highly recommend that. i got my tripods and my lighting off of amazon, i can’t remember the exact ones but they weren’t branded and they’re not anything fancy!! i started my channel just using my phone with no microphone/lighting etc and it still worked great!! good luck🥰
