Elan Shellard is 75% done with The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II
Honestly so incredibly well written, I wish more of this was mentioned, let alone taught, when we learn about WW2 and the Cold War

Elan Shellard is 6% done with The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II
Sometimes I struggle to get through non fiction books even when the topic is interesting bc the tone is too dry but so far this is written so well

This is quickly becoming my new favourite book, there are very few books that actually make me chuckle out loud

This is the perfect post submission book, it’s light and cosy, and has a sentient spider plant, I truly couldn’t ask for more

Elan Shellard
Elan Shellard is 21% done with Eragon (The Inheritance Cycle #1)
The audiobook is making an excellent bedtime story, but the voice person has made a very… interesting…? acting choice with Saphira’s voice
Like imagine an old gay man in the smoking area of a club who smoked 20 packs a day for 50 years

I’m loving the sarcasm and the scathing reviews of high level executives

ngl I’m loving how the author is both incredibly knowledgeable and also scathingly sarcastic

Elan Shellard is 43% done with Sorcery and Small Magics (The Wildersongs Trilogy, #1)
I realise that the MC is meant to be chattery sunshine to the other MCs grumpy dutifulness, however, he’s just giving insufferable privileged annoyance atm, with vague Jaskier vibes? The pair is very Witcher and Jaskier

Elan Shellard is on page 70 of 222 of The Screwtape Letters
I picked this up on a whim from a charity shop and now strongly believe that everyone could get something out of reading it. I literally picked it up because CS Lewis dedicated it to Tolkien out of spite but now I have so many sticky tabs in parts I want to go back to that I’ve had to change colour 😭

The content is 10/10 but the writing style is almost too accessible?

Elan Shellard is 47% done with Sunrise on the Reaping (The Hunger Games)
I don’t think I realised how used to reading the hunger games from a girls perspective until now. Knowing what happens to Haymitch makes reading this a very interesting experience.
