AVATAR FANDOMMMMM

[@leviwendigo1811]

She certainly is gorgeous. The enthusiasm for all things books is what keeps me coming back.

[@MJChow-jj4oi]

You should definitely try PERCY JACKSON series .... It's one of the best middle grader fantasy book series ever.

[@rori_346]

Yessss definitely

[@luketufts6827]

It’s just about the perfect series for middle graders in my opinion

[@saragh3900]

Im 19. Should i try it?

[@kittykath0919]

Im 22 yrs old and i’m reading it for the first time.It is amazing! Better late than never 😅😆

[@MJChow-jj4oi]

@@saragh3900 you definitely should. Its best to read it in middle grade but you can still try It.

[@CassidyHolbrook]

I love seeing another person who’s a slow reader 😭 I’M WITH YA GIRL!

[@lucysapphire443]

this is EXACTLY what i need right now

[@kennedygifford5966]

you have such an infectious personality, somehow you make me more upbeat with every video you upload

[@_echointhevoid_]

someone has been watching Wes Anderson movies hahahahah. This vlog def has a very artistic feel and i loved it!

[@TheBookLeo]

whoopsie you got me

[@Anton_Jermakoŭ]

he was the director that taught me to pay attention to every detail in the movie: color, composition, motion, angle, dialogue, almost everything is intentional and not left for a chance (apart from impro, ofc)

[@_echointhevoid_]

@@Anton_Jermakoŭ yeah, his movies are amazing

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

I’m obsessed with the cover of Nevermoor

[@jamesduggan7200]

My favorite novel, War and Peace, just gets better and better with each rereading. I read it every few years, and the characters just become more vivid and reasonable. Thx for the post enjoyed.

[@gabriellaoliveira9833]

Your house is so cozy and pretty I’m charmed 😍 Also, here in Brazil Christmas always takes place in the summer, so a typical Christmas for me is spent at the beach, toasting in the sun during the day and eating cold desserts and fruits at night :)

[@juliamiranda4023]

Just found out the channel and I'm binge watching this vlogs, and I'm loving.

[@ejreads7638]

i loved hearing your thoughts on nevermoor! i read it in may and loved it!

[@bebella9005]

I remember being very confused as a kid in Brazil whenever I read or watched Christmas books/movies that took place in winter 😂 The shots and editing in this video are soooo good, Leonie! I really wanna read Library of the Unwritten and Nevermoor now 💕

[@idkvalen]

i wasn't feeling so good but your videos always cheer me up :) thank you

[@mondinsel4235]

I totally agree on the middle-grade fantasy stories. I often prefer them over adult or ya fantasy. :') And the editing, gosh, Leonie!! Fantastic!

[@evielouise718]

I’m waiting for the 3rd book in the Nevermoor series to come out and I’m soooo impatient!!!

[@DanielCifer]

Love these reading vlogs!! They really do get me into the mood of doing more reading

[@lamaahmed635]

The filming style here is soo good

[@em-zc6tl]

the reading necessities bit felt very wes anderson inspired, not sure if it was intentional or not but i LOVED IT this video was very cute i liked the style of it, it kept the flow going very nicely

[@jaudeyt]

your edition of "nevermoor" is so beautiful omg!!

Nevermoor is so good! I read it earlier this month and LOVED it!

[@mattkean1128]

These are so fun. Loved the style in this one!

[@indira2749]

you really did THAT with this vlog! the wes anderson vibes were spot on and i'm glad you had a great time making it!

[@TheBookLeo]

hahaha yess that's what i was going for

[@SabinesBookNook]

This vlog was another masterpiece 💯 Nevermore & The Library of the Unwritten are DEFINITELY on my TBR!!

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you sabine :D

[@ainokenttala]

love the video Leonie! and hey I'm just wondering, where can I find about all the readathons? because atm I only find out about them after they're done when all the reading vlogs start rolling in...

[@TheBookLeo]

i ususally find out about them because i'm subscribed to the people that organise them haha

[@Angie-bp6dz]

I literally stopped the video to say how much I relate to the fear of rereading my favorite books. I'm constantly scared that I won't love it as much as I did when I read it for the first time. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one. (Also I too adore Vicious

[@crystalrose8787]

I love ur reading vlogs!!!

[@theeldritchfox]

"For some reason it's already noon." MOOD

[@audiofandoms]

the video shots included in this were wonderful, leonie! i could tell you put in a lot of effort to make it look beautiful

[@Skirrrbyseadog]

Aussie here. Having a Christmas set in Winter could simply have been a way to appeal to a broader audience. Reaching into the the Northern Hemishphere market, might be a little jarring to have such a celebrated holiday set in a polar opposite season. Another choice, and this is coming from me personally speaking, almost all of the depictions of Christmas are winter themed - from a lot of our decorations that we get here in Australia (including fake snow, or 'frosting effects' to apply on our windows, etc.), to the songs, stories, movies, cartoons, show episodes, food (yes, a lot of us still eat things like roast turkey, ham, etc. on our 40+ degree Christmas Days). So from my perspective at least, Christmas in Winter is more magical because we don't expierence it, and yet practically just as commonplace as for the Northern Hemisphere. Having said that, whilst going to the beach or having a water fights with hoses or water pistols on our 40+ degree Christmas day is fun and all, I still view it as 'more' Christmas-y when snow is involved (which I've never experienced)... that's probably because I've been conditioned to view it that way, though ;)

[@mariarcgi39]

Sorry if its a weird question but academically speaking how do your holidays work? For example here in spain our biggest off school season is from June to September (in uni) because it's when we have our summers, and I've always been curious about the equivalent in Australia (maybe because it's a fascinating country but who knows hahahaha)

[@Skirrrbyseadog]

@@mariarcgi39 Nah, not a weird question at all - there's no need to apologise :) For years 1-12 it changes slightly by State and Territory, but generally it's 2 and a bit weeks each season (Autumn (April), Winter (July) and Spring (October)) with Summer getting about 7 weeks. For Univeristy, it ranges widely from Uni to Uni (some, for example, adopt a three semeter model, which have courses during Summer), but for the most part, it's about 13-14 weeks off during Summer (so the year begins around March and ends around November) with about 2 weeks each semester for a mid-term break. Keep in mind, as well, that each University has a different schedule, so some may start their year in February and end in October. There's a caveat to all of this: I never went to Universty, so I'm not talking from experience :)

[@angelamccollister]

Library of the Unwritten is really good. I just read it a few weeks ago.

[@dee1661]

I loved the filming style of this video!!

[@adiahh6382]

Thank you for taking me out of a reading slump.

[@julieli3724]

The quality of this video is insane 🥰 pop off queen

[@ottoismy1dog]

I loved all the "little filmy bits" 💖 I was especially mesmerized by the 'crane shot' of you (starting @ 7:25) Beautifully put together.

[@riverbright]

So glad you enjoyed Nevermoor! It's such a charming middle grade read :)

[@hannahjcattanach3324]

All your little filmy bits worked really well! I might borrow a few ideas 😁

[@jwinkies3011]

How do you manage to find a new background/framing set up every video??? I love how much time and effort you put into your videos, it really shows!

[@annal8043]

I have heard so many great things about The Library of the Unwritten, and hearing that it's like The Good Place makes me even more interested 😅

[@abeygailsteele480]

Gosh I haven’t even seen the whole video yet....but you are the best human just gotta day it!!!!

[@Steckdose001]

Yeah! I have never been this early! It popped up just at the right time to calm down after a long day at work. Thanks, Leonie! :)

[@emiliabugueiromeyer8166]

Loved the vid!! Also, when you started the 2nd book, did you count the first pages with the dedications and stuff?

[@MaryAmongStories]

yesss so happy you enjoyed Nevermoor!

[@TheBookLeo]

i had such a nice time!

[@yassirramen4375]

I really want to do this but then I realize I’m watching a KZbin video. 😭

[@bellacrofford8665]

Just want to let you know. Your makeup looks amazing in this video 💚

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you!

[@selantrian]

If u like humorous books specifically ones that treat Heaven/Hell as beaurocratic, I highly recommend good omens!

[@flanneryhogan6948]

another great book that satirizes some aspects of organized religion is Small Gods (which is also by Terry Pratchett!) It’s a part of his Discworld series but it’s basically stand alone

[@alb0zfinest]

I don’t want to alarm you but you’re speaking with a heavy British accent, more than usual (particularly in the beginning).

[@TheBookLeo]

yeah i noticed while editing, honestly don't know what i was doing

[@karolinamikeskova8043]

I've actually noticed that Leonie does this in multiple videos, usually she switches midway into the video. I think it's kinda cute thb 😄😄

[@ender4344]

Oh yeah. I like it lol

[@christineelzinga748]

The Book Leo no worries you speak beautifull❤️

[@charlottefeyer4735]

I just got Nevermoor from the library too, I'm very excited to pick it up! Also, where did you get that lamp beside your bed? I love it!

[@TheBookLeo]

ikea!

[@shannxnmxnahan6944]

you should check out this company "Archive Sunday" they make collage walls and they have a really really awesome four nations one. you might enjoy that!!! they're really beautiful. I have a Slytherin one lol

[@AnitaKumari-de2hr]

Which Dj quad song is in the intro? Totally loved your video

[@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks]

Hey! We both have Howl’s Moving Castle backgrounds! Very cool!

[@inmimisbowl]

always fun to be reading :) question: will you join the reading rush in July? love from Utrecht!

[@TheBookLeo]

didn't know it was then! i might if i have time!

[@rachelb751]

Ugh ...Priory of the Orange Tree was a struggle for me too. I buddy read it and the only way we got through it was making fun of everything. Things became too convenient for the characters.

[@Directioner171]

I love this vlog! So creative!

[@UnrealB]

I'd love to read a book where Christmas takes place in summer, as an Australian. I wish more books were set in Australia, there are lots of amazing Australian books but they're really only popular here.

[@cleaclara5661]

vlogs are always so inspiring

[@michellegonzalez4879]

i love your videos and always so much fun

[@moonycries8472]

i know it is not the point of the video but your room is so pretty💕💕

[@hannahkraemer]

Yess! i absolutely loved this video!

[@laurenanami1501]

HER HOWLS MOVING CASTLE DESKTOP WALLPAPER AAAAAAAAA I LOVE ITTTT (yes i saw it) and she’s also an ATLA omg

[@TheBookLeo]

omg no one ever notices that i'm so happy you did!

[@ScullyPop]

I love the readathon. You have a wonderful voice. Like when you smell caramel in the air.

[@BethVlogs_]

My copy of Nevermoor should be coming tomorrow!

[@DarkRuins]

since when did you develop a british twang to your accent?

[@ЮлияОрлова-д3и]

Omg you're telling about the library of the unwritten so... Omg how to finish all the books I've already started and not to start reading this one🤣

[@ewaldkostergunnsisko3491]

Fun Fact about Christmas in the summer, if were talking about the holiday. There is evidence to suggest that Yeshua/Isa/Jesus was actually born in the summer around August. I've heard that the Qur'an even mentions Date trees in bloom. Also if you like humorous books about the Hell/Heaven dynamic, maybe Pratchett's and Gaiman's Good Omens might be something for you.

[@Sonja25997]

Leonie: who has a 24 hour readathon in any normal situation? I don't think anyone does! Me: ... Well...

[@josephmarshall6599]

I'm a new subscriber from the states and my great great grandparents came here from The Netherlands, thus my last name Van Auken...really want to visit.

Hiii! I’m so early... Okay I’m gonna watch the video now.

[@majeekmajeek8396]

O my god your eyes😍

[@geenadelahaye3288]

I love your outfit💗💗

[@namadias]

Hello!! I’m Brazilian but i always watch your videos, and I think it’s nice you think about how could an Australian author write about Christmas during winter.. but here in Brazil we also have christimas at summer, but our books sometimes have Christmas on winter because of the American culture, so i don’t know, we imagine Christmas always in winter hahaha I don’t know if I’m being clear... whatever, I would like to please you that you speak a little bit more slowly, because this video is a little bit hard to me to understand... but all the other videos I usually understand well... sorry about my English, I love your channel

[@theajansen4154]

Where is Your earings from?

[@morgankate2410]

Hey! This might sound strange but while I was watching a video I coudn't stop thinking "This. Is. Made. For. Leo." You definitely must check "Adult Book Recs for Popular YA Books" by Merphy Napier. Just look at the first 3 books and tell me this video wasn't made for you. That's all I ask for. The first 3 books :D Have a nice day!

[@TheBookLeo]

i've seen that video and found it really helpful!

[@theliopleurodon]

What's with the english accent all of a sudden 😂

I can tell that there was some element of “performance” during this era… as you sound more British than your newer videos. It’s actually throwing me off a bit.
