[@Glitterarchive]

mela husar same, I don’t get how people read so fast😬

[@dqreads996]

Right!? I’m so happy not every is a speed reader I can read faster but I just don’t like it. I feel like I’m rushing I like to enjoy and marinate in what I’m reading.

[@jopark4990]

oh gosh that is such a relief because yesterday i was beating myself up for reading like 50 pages of A Gathering of Shadows. i am just a really slow reader who gets distracted v e r y easily

[@cemeterygxtes]

i used to be able to read so fast and now i read so slowly it’s almost painful lol

[@mariatheresia204]

I need like 3h to read 100 pages 😅✌🏽

[@lialamanna9061]

“ she is kinda interesting, but I don’t really care.” 😂😂😂😂

[@sahar4011]

Hii , a tip from me , what I do with long books like that , just as I did with the song of Ice and fire series , when they give you a list of characters at the end take the time before starting the book to make a large "family tree" or multiple ones for the kingdoms and families involved, and as the story progresses write down the ways that they are related and stuff it's really helpful ... A lot of work but honestly the only way for me to get through the beginning of such books ♥

[@ghx198]

I feel like I'm the only person who can't read 2 books at the same time. I want to experience 1 story at a time 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@KK-jl8em that's the whole point of my main comment. I don't like reading bunch of stories at the same time, not that I'm not capable of reading them. Don't know why it bothered you so much. I think you might need to read some more books, seems like you can't understand what you read.

[@ghx198]

@@KK-jl8em when did I state anything? Can't you tell apart between a fact and an opinion?

[@annafelka4042]

I read this book and loved it so much! I actually personally found the pacing really good, there was always new and interesting information given so there wasn’t really any slow parts. Some characters I didn’t care about in the beginning but by the middle I was like omg I love all these characters!!!!

[@jennaserv]

Just found your channel and am loving it, and the fact that you called anatomy a 'vintage science' made me break out smiling... so funny

[@TheBookLeo]

hahaha yeah i didn;t know what else to call it

[@HomeWithMyBookshelf]

Omg that is so interesting! We had the complete opposite favourite characters/pov's In the beginning of The Priory of the Orange Tree! It's so interesting how different people like different things about books!

[@crystalrose8787]

Hi. I just started to watch ur channel and it makes me feel good to know there are other people who adore books as much as I do. I am 12 and really want to read "priory of the orange tree" it sounds very interesting.

[@sarahfraser9532]

Keep up your motivation!! I’m almost 16 and the biggest thing I regret is losing my motivation to read and not doing it very much for like a year and a half😔 Thankfully I’m getting back into it though!

[@crystalrose8787]

Good for u. I hope u reinforce ur love for reading. 😁

[@pinkcatreads]

Such a lovely vlog! I have The Priory book sitting on my shelf, but I think I will pick it up in the summer time. Glad to hear you are enjoying it 😊 And well done getting so much read 👏

[@TheBookLeo]

It's a really great summer read i think!

[@RainbowAnimeCupcake]

Your lifes aesthetic gives me motivation thank you

[@QueenCNow]

I was in the 24 hour reading party, and in both liveshow, and it was very fun, and made me finish a book :D.

[@TheBookLeo]

that's so great to hear :D

[@cozyninos]

300 pages in 24 hrs, I’d say that’s dedication! 💛 Although I’ve never read a book with mature/older characters before so that may be a factor of the time spent reading besides the writing style.

[@pagesandpeaches]

the way you set up every vlog shot!! i love it!!

[@nataliegrace4887]

this was awesome! this was my first video of yours and I had such a great time- you have such a calming and quirky presence! I'm glad you're enjoying Priory, it was one of my favorite books I read last year (and I love Sabran and Ead so much too!)

[@TheBookLeo]

Sabran and Ead

[@claudianunez8983]

Thanks!! I just bought the picture of Dorian Gray , so I'll try to read it in 24 hours

[@TheBookLeo]

oehhh good luck!

ok ok ok, your editing is so cute ahhhh

[@anielson6152]

This was the perfect time for you to pop up in my recommended feed because I’m planning on reading Priory for a readathon in April. This was a fun video, thanks!!

[@atvicentex]

Very cool video! Loved the intro! I did a 24h readathon a few days ago and it was a struggle, it took my 6 hours to finish the last 200 pages that i had left of a book (i dont read fast at all, but i read faster than 200/6h lol)

[@anddestroyit2654]

had loads of fun participating in this readathon (even if I didn’t read that much oops)! Hope you do more live-streams with Sabine in the future, I’ll be tuning in again :)

[@TheBookLeo]

I'm so happy you had fun!

[@SabinesBookNook]

😄❤️

[@farazkhan0]

I really liked this book especially the world and character building is probably the best I've read. I do agree that it took me around 150 pages to get into it, but it was worth the wait a slow read but an essential ones.

[@EmmaRiddle543]

Your so sweet and it would probably take me about a year to read what you read so well done to you

[@saathvika4036]

Alchemy? Girl , if you haven't read Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss already, please do! That book is amazing and right up your alley based on what your tastes! I highly recommend it.

I love big thick books siting outside reading it when your half way through it and everyone looks at you like it make you feel intelligent as hell, books are like cloths only you don’t wear books.

Ik ben dat boek nu ook aan het lezen! Persoonlijk laat die glossary lekker staan. Als een persoon belangrijk is leer je ze vanzelf kennen

[@MandaLynReads]

I've been stuck in the middle of priory for about six months now (just too many characters) and you gave me the inspiration to try and keep reading it!

[@catyapping]

Priory is definitely a book I want to read but aw man I could never read half of it in a day! Props to you for trying though and getting as far as you did!!! That’s awesome

[@TheBookLeo]

thank youu!

[@MikePagonis1]

hey there! Not a lot of anatomy or alchemy but in The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, one of our main character, the one we actually see most of our main characters, was training to become a surgeon but ended up in the army! We do have a bunch of scenes that focus on the surgeon aspect! It is 1007 pages tho! I do recommend it! (Actually picked it up after Priory of the Orange tree!) - also loved your vlog!

[@ofglittersandblood3397]

Amazing video!! Now i reaaaally want to read the priory of the orange tree like REALLY :(

[@valerieysabel123]

The Montegue siblings' books by Mackenzi Lee have a female character that is interested in alchemy and is mainly about late 1700 alchemy/medicine mixed with pirates and sarcasm. The books are on Storytel and the Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is one of the funniest audiobooks I've listened to, great to listen to while doing chores/biking etc!

[@TheBookLeo]

that books sounds so cool, it's on my tbr!

[@Miszrye]

i just finished this book... and i already want to read it again

[@bewitchinglyparanoid]

Oh my! i have never done this, being a part of 24 hours readathon. Seems like this is something I should give it a try to. And Orange of the Priory Tree has been there on my TBR and I have a proof copy, gosh don’t know why I didn’t read it 😱

[@Anjax1999]

Hele leuke video Leonie! Vind het altijd zo tof als ik een nieuwe Nederlandse booktuber ontdek!

[@AFrolicThroughFiction]

I am so glad you said at the beginning your aim was to read half of Priory because I saw this thumbnail and was about to flip a table if you managed to read the entire thing in 24 HOURS ahahaha. It's one of my faves but nope, I cannot This was such a fab vlog!!

[@TheBookLeo]

I don't think I would ever be able to read 800 pages in 24 hours hahaha

[@pucksmink5138]

the wayward children series has old sciency stuff :)

[@CoffeeOverApples]

Game of thrones has the same set up in the front and back of the book (maps, time lines, family trees, etc) its necessary!

[@MariaMightReadThat]

I love the yellow aesthetic of this vlog and your editing style! And I definitely feel you on the slow reading pace of Priory. I got two chapters in and set it aside for now because it was such a dense read. I need to pick it back up again. I really want to read it but it's definitely an intimidating book. Have you finished it yet? Did you like it overall?

[@TheBookLeo]

haven't picked it up since this readathon oops

[@MariaMightReadThat]

[@AnetteLaagstad]

Any time I've done a 24 hour readathon it's never been on purpose so I honestly admire anyone who is able to keep it up for that long, especially with a physical book. I know I can't be the only one that feels guilty for just sitting down and reading when I know I could probably be doing "better" things with my time?

[@TheBookLeo]

yeah I can imagine! but i also feel very productive when I read!

[@TheBookLeo]

yup maybe overestimated my abilities haha. It's really good so far though!

[@Jojo-gf1el]

One one hand I'm glad I got this as an e-book and didn't realize it had a glossary and everything because that meant I just kept on pushing forward through the first 200 pages and just accepted being confused, but I really wish I could know what my experience would have been if I had read abt the characters when getting to know them or when they reappeared and I had no idea who they were haha

[@freddy-i-guess946]

I absolutely loved The Priory! But then I didn't care for Niklais or Tane at all and lived all for Ead xD hope you liked the book at the end!!

[@meyahpitts4580]

I'm currently reading this when I stumbled upon this video/channel for one I totally feel u I'm a slow reader too. What helps me get through bug books like this is put a marker every 50 pages which gives me a shorter goal and then ready for 30 min and taking a break each time.
