Places Ely Is Travelling To In Books This Week

May 23, 2021

Hi everyone, it’s Ely here and for today’s monthly post I’m going to be talking about the different places I’m travelling to this week…in books. Of course, international travel is still not happening so I thought I’d take this week to try something a little different!

The Ninth Child by Sally Magnusson

I bought this one very recently, actually while I was out with Angel. It’s not my usual sort of book—it’s an adult historical literary fiction with maybe some kind of fantastical or magical realism elements, but it sounds amazing. I won’t lie—it was the cover that originally drew me into this one, but it’s also set in Scotland. I think Scotland is an amazing setting for historical fiction—there’s just something so mysterious and atmospheric about it. Of course, it’s also a gorgeous place in real life as well. Since it’ll probably be years before I can get back to Scotland for a visit, I’m instead using this as a way of escaping there!

The Parasites by Daphne du Maurier

One of my absolute favourite places in the world is Cornwall. I was lucky enough to live there for a few months back in 2015/2016 and so it will always have a special place in my heart. And of course, no one writes Cornwall better than Daphne du Maurier. I’ve read most of her books now, and this is one of the last ones that I currently own that remains unread. It’s also currently the oldest book on my TBR so I’m really looking forward to getting around to this one this week if for nothing other than finally taking it off my TBR.

Light Years by Kass Morgan

Getting to go into space right now feels about as likely as getting to go anywhere else, so I’m counting this one! This is actually part of a challenge/project thing I’m doing that is scheduled to go live later in June over on my channel, so I really need to get to this one before it’s too late. I really don’t know what to expect with this one. It’s honestly been a while since I picked up any sci-fi books, or even watched anything so I guess we’re about to find out whether it’s a genre I still enjoy or not. Stay tuned for my thoughts on this one.

And that’s all from me this month. I hope you’re all doing super well, and I’ll see you all for my monthly post in June!

Book Titles That Are Complete Sentences

May 18, 2021

This week I’m sharing the books that have titles that are complete sentences. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday made me really think, but that is what made it fun. So this weeks topic is book titles that are a complete sentence. Some of these books have longer titles, some are short. There is also a mix of books here. From fantasy to romance and more. And let’s go like always these are in no order.

A Touch of Darkness (Hades & Persephone #1) by Scarlett St. Clair 4 Stars | To Love and to Loathe (The Regency Vows #2) by Martha Waters 4 Stars | Dead Man Walking (The Fallen Men #6) by Giana Darling 4 Stars – Review | A Rogue of One’s Own (A League of Extraordinary Women #2) by Evie Dunmore 4.5 Stars – Discussion

The Reality of Everything (Flight & Glory #5) by Rebecca Yarros 4.5 Stars – Review | With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo 4.5 Stars | The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune 5 Stars – Review | Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes 5 Stars – Review

The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren 4 Stars | This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield 5 stars – Review

And there we go! Those are the books that have titles that are complete sentences that I love. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? What are some book titles that you are that are complete sentences? Let’s chat!

Latest Books Added To My TBR | May 2021

May 14, 2021

Today I thought I would share some of the latest books that I have added to my tbr. Some of these books I have recently bought or received. Some I’ve just seen floating around and wanted to remind myself that I want to read it. I use my Goodreads tbr more as a reminder of the books that I want to read, rather than using it as a tbr of the books that I own.

There is a good mix of genres and readerships on this list. From young adult to romance, fantasy and more. There is also a mix of new release, backlist titles and traditional published and self-published books. Now let’s get into it, like always these are in no order. These are the latest books I’ve added to my tbr.

Sistersong by Lucy Holland | How to Be a Normal Person (How to Be #1) by T.J. Klune | The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper | Drag Me Up (Gods of Hunger #1) by R.M. Virtues

Pretty Little Savage (Sick Boys #1) by Lucy Smoke | Entreat Me by Grace Draven | Red Hood by Elana K. Arnold | The Winter King (Weathermages of Mystral #1) by C.L. Wilson

The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels (Dangerous Damsels #1) by India Holton | A Beastly Kind of Earl (Longhope Abbey #1) by Mia Vincy | Lord and Lady Spy (Lord and Lady Spy #1) by Shana Galen | With You Forever (Bergman Brothers #4) by Chloe Liese

And there we go! Those are some of the latest books I have added to my tbr. Have you read any of these? What did you think of them? Are you planning on reading them? Let’s Chat!
