you just made me realize why I love fall this much. after the overheating terribleness and how difficult it is to do things when it's so hot, like you feel like you've run a marathon after two stores and a walk, and also the oppressive crowds, and increased social engagements, having a slow, chill time doing nothing much but sitting and reading is such a relief! (even if we're at the end of septembre and it's STILL 27° here lol. We had One (1) rainy day lately and I was amazed).

[@bastilkartonn4214]

I never really understood why I loved autumn so much until you mentioned "because the world matches my vibe in these months" and that's just so true. I love rainy autumn days at home - loosing track of time and just spend time reading or cooking or watching series. And I LOVE your vlogs on this channel, they're so lovely and calming - please keep on doing them!!

[@aree376]

wuthering heights is my favorite classic ever, i love it so much with my whole angst seeking heart

[@littleantoinette9621]

Literally my two favourite transitions in year are when after summer comes autumn and when after winter comes spring...i just love it

[@georgiam.3957]

I love Paris Paloma she has been one of my top 3 artists for a while "as good a reason" has been on repeat, would love to see her live, glad you got the chance 🤍

[@Tessy31]

I read Wuthering Heights for the first time this year and it became an instant favorite. I think you're really gonna love it, especially since you love Jane Eyre 💖

[@Luumus]

I'm so jealous of your autumn weather. I live in Portugal and today, the last day of September, it was 34°C and obnoxiously sunny. How can I enjoy all those cosy vibes of a good book with a warm cup of tea by the fireplace when my face is melting?!

[@mgc211]

If you read gothic novels, read Carmilla by J Sheridan Le Fanu!! It’s only 100 pages or so and it’s the vibe!

[@seriouslywhatever1031]

The Netherlands looks so beautiful ❤

[@lucille-1708]

13:56 tag yourself, im the hand lingering on the good omens book

[@olgapikul3328]

Between is such a lovely book! It's very long, it's technically two books in one but very sweet and funny. It's like if Neil Gaiman's Sandman were to be written by Terry Pratchett.

[@lucille-1708]

this description alone made me put it on my to read list !! thankssss

[@amiraavenetti3692]

All the food looks so lovely 🧈🥕🥒🍅🥐🥘🤎

[@booknerd369]

I would give anything to have that kind of greenery! I moved to the Southwest a few years ago from the Pacific Northwest and I just can’t stand it here anymore. Vicariously living through you rn

[@pendragon2012]

Thanks, Leonie! I needed this nice calming influence in the midst of a hectic day! Hope the party went well!

[@thetics_a14]

THE WAY THE TOO MUCH LABOUR SOMG CAME UP AND I WAS JUST UNAWARE AND ENJOY THIS AND THE HOBBIT VLOG WOW

[@PistachioGold]

The Donner in Rotterdam is the best. I visited my friend who lives in that city and went crazy buying books and notebooks 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@hannahfay4950]

The perfect way to start October! 😊🎃💀

[@Lucy10095]

What a wonderful vlog! Thank you for sharing the Paris Paloma clips, I just discovered her and I’m obsessed!

[@vyn409]

i love donner!! i go there when i want to take myself out on a date, it’s so fun just browsing all the sections

[@polinaignatenkova3634]

The opening especially was so soothing and it made me very content and happy

[@SarahEllen511]

Loved the outfits you wore to the concert and bookshopping!

[@readwithliszka5976]

Watching your vlogs makes me so happy, you have no idea 🍁🍄🍃

[@cookiemongirl]

Despite being in the southern hemisphere hence instead going into spring, I just love watching these fall videos. They're such a vibe.

[@marremarremarremarre]

orange and teal is also very much used in lighting and colour grading in films! They complement each other because they're opposites and our brains really love that :) dusk is amazing

[@davinahamers7704]

The sound of rain, candlelight, tea and a book ❤❤❤

[@Arawn505]

Ah, the moon from Le voyage dans la lune! 🙂 (right at the beginning, in the collage) A silent movie from 1902. I mostly know it because the French group Air made a soundtrack album for the movie, though I've never listened to it. It's a later album, not from their golden era of Talkie Walkie and Moon Safari. But who knows, might still be good.

[@sehnsuchtsgeschichten9457]

Oh how I love cozy autumn-vlogs like these. And I would have loved joyning a dinner-party like yours 🥰

[@LuckyYogi]

Yes! Love your Autumn vlogs. Thanks for putting the time to create this. Love your art work throughout.

[@estellesliceoflife]

Thank you Leonie, this vlog was so cosy and comforting ✨

[@user-tg1he2fr6v]

I love these vlogs, the autumnal vibe you creats is my fav, rock on always, and please keep on making them

[@carmenmartinez6941]

Leonie, I love your videos, they give so much comfort, thank u!! greetings from Mexico!! Let's enjoy the best season 🍂

[@alifeofpoetry]

I loved your reasoning for why you love the autumn season. I never really understood why the autumn season calls me more than any other season and your reason as to why you love autumn resonated so much with me. I also feel like I dont match the "energy" that spring or the summer season brings and when autumn comes around, I too, feel like finally I can keep up with the energy of the current season where everything is at a slower pace, easeful, and a bit more gentle. Lovely video!

[@familynalon4062]

I’m loving the Zelda outro!

[@zaidarenteria7334]

I am so glad I discovered this channel. I ve just subscribed! thank you for making and sharing these nice videos

[@vivienne7415]

This video is giving me the cozy autumn vibes I am missing here in Germany! And it was perfect to start my morning 😊

[@garance8782]

watching your fall vlog brings me so much joy... Thank you and have a nice automn !

[@humeyrasanler9867]

this was such a calming video, and I absolutely feel the same about the autumn energy

[@MatildaTheBookDragon]

It's so funny I was just looking in my Wuthering Heights book before watching this video, and it's the same edition you found! 😂 by the way, use the scalp massager before you wash your hair not while it's wet as your hair is more fragile while it's wet. I usually just use my fingers massaging my scalp every night before bed and its so relaxing. The scalp massager is not as relaxing but good to use for taking away build-up

[@35portlandrow]

you are one of my top favorite youtubers, your videos are so calming and nice to crochet with. 🖤 I'm very excited for autumn as well, thank you for the good vibes🕯

[@baraahsinjab2968]

I’m Arab and I love that you love labaneh, I squeezed when you made it yourself

[@Lillyjoy]

Been loving your vlogs!

[@dvckduckgoose]

ahh this was such a fun vlog, and kinda relevant bc i just finished reading nettle & bone as well and loved it, and my dad grew up in rotterdam so seeing it through your eyes was amazing! hope one day i can visit the netherlands

[@samiiinsh]

I'm sooo happy that I found your channel Leonie! Just as much as the autumn is matching our energy and vibe, I couldn't find a channel and a person that matches me so much! I hope you have a magical autumn and looking forward to seeing more videos of you ✨🍂 Cheers from Canada!:) 🍁

[@nerdine1987]

Just wanted to say thank you for this beautiful super cozy video, Leonie! 🥰

[@raydindanacita]

thank you for making this video. I really like the atmosphere when it rains and the atmosphere when in a bookstore. This video makes me very happy. I love rain 🥰💙

[@loserlivvy]

Discovered your channel about a month ago and i love your videos! It's crazy that you said Wuthering Heights because I had the exact same feeling and started it last night. Two chapters in, enjoying it so far!

[@roxiciobotea4941]

I love this cure little cozy vlogs ❤

[@purplesoda793]

Withering Heights is such a great book 📖! I started reading it recently and can’t put it down!

[@ChantelleArts]

glad you enjoyed the concert ❤❤

[@Kochopia]

Aw I really liked Between. I'm looking forward to the sequel :)

[@mamoru1836]

Perfect!!! and stardew valley soundtrack 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@ReadingNymph]

Fall vlogs are the best 👌🏻

[@itsmj3103]

For how slow and peaceful these little snippets are they're surprisingly motivational for some reason. I'm motivated. And idk what I'm even motivated for. lol To live better I guess. Also your country is lovely! :)

[@MariaMedeiros]

A lovely autumnal vlog. Lovely!

[@Talgikiwi]

the stardew music ♥

[@enolagaiman8502]

OMG You saw Paris Paloma 🤩😍 Hope she will come to France someday

[@r_r_r_r]

Oh my, Wuthering. 🖤 Good time of year for it too.

[@orm_irian]

15:00 I had exactly the same thing with "The unbearable lightness of being" a few days ago and I went straight to the library (ignoring "Heretics of Dune" which I am technically also currently reading) aaand I'm in love! It's sooo amazing so far!!!

[@masquerade73]

I didn't know Mona Awad had a new book out, omg, I need to get to the bookstore!! Also all your vlogs make me want to come visit the Netherlands so badlyyyy

[@hyperopt_]

the outro music is such a groove

[@lauras_garden_of_books]

Lieve Leonie, ik ben Duits, maar heb in Nijmegen gestudeerd en ik heb de 3 jaar daar ontzettend genoten ♥️ Het is zo leuk om weer een beetje Nederlands te horen en de mooie plekken van Leiden te zien 🥰 Herfst is ook mijn favoriete seizoen en jouw vlogs zijn zo zo mooi!!! Zo ontspannend, dus heel graag meer!!😍🍁 Groetjes, Laura PS: Ik had ook een heel goede tijd met Nettle and Bone!!

[@camilamoreira6640]

i love your videos so much omg

[@tttooooni]

Fuck yeah Gilmore Girls! The ultimate "autumn show"!

[@ChemicalPenguinn]

[@Neimafromthenorthernlands]

[@mochi.kitkat]

[@misuko1792]

the day is saved

[@Drowsywiz]

read Wuthering Heights in high school and it became one of my favorite reads of all time its so good

[@tamashiinohako1615]

I don’t really have a lot of idea about the Netherlands save for the land reclamation projects, but the place you live in is really beautiful

[@hannahkelly908]

I’m a new fan of your videos! Absolutely beautiful

[@ceycey6037]

Omg I love Donner

[@teatime3204]

Love your slow vlogs

[@wickerlibrary]

i can't believe you got to see paris paloma perform! so so jealous ahh!

[@ASMRfleur]

to answer your question yes I did very much enjoy this second fall vlog slay

[@adelliane]

I know Waterstones have the Wuthering Heights edition you’re looking for! Almost bought it the other day but I already have the book in French and in English 😅

[@mariecatanho2508]

the autumn energies comment totally makes sense! I can definitely relate, it just seems like all the energies are calmed down compared to summer where everything feels heightened! also peep good omens i literally just bought the white cover with crowley (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) absolutely love the new vlogs

[@blairwillows3156]

I’m in the Netherlands studying abroad rn and I can’t wait for the leaves to turn orange here! Wonderful vlog (I’m vegetarian too) lol

[@elenamitropoulou3213]

amazing! relaxing...

[@idolivercampos]

Merci beaucoup pour tut !

[@EmiliaLou]

The moment you realize they are at Donna, the only bookstore in the Netherlands you‘ve ever been to 😂

[@lindap1767]

I loooove gothic fiction. My favourite genre❤

[@feralblueprints]

Your whole vibe is lovely, thank you for sharing ✨️ big T. Kingfisher fan here--if you can get your hands on a copy of her short story "Jackalope Wives"...please do!! It's some of the best storytelling I've ever read, on par with Neil Gaiman's work (and I don't say that lightly). Again, thanks for the beautiful autumn mood 🍁🍂 edit to add! Mona Awad's new book is absolutely delicious and dark and gothic 🖤🖤🖤 and you and your book friends are total friendship goals!

[@lilysider1733]

Disney fairies vibes for the win 🥹✨

[@alessandrahaha]

Omg I actually have the exact Wuthering Heights edition that matches your Jane Eyre edition 😅 totally understand the need to get books from the same edition, actually have been looking for a copy of Jane Austen's 'Emma' and have been holding back from buying editions that don't match the one I have already 🙈

[@soymikleo]

omg you went to a Paris Paloma show!! 💗

[@lidda9010]

The word is tappas haha ♥️

[@melaviosa7152]

(edit) That was the most polite and cutest "oh sht" i've ever heard 😆

[@natalie5949]

The stardew valley music ✨

[@sydverse127]

ava reid's new book a study in drowning def fits the gothic autumn vibes you should give it a try!

[@bagelschin]

AHHHHHHH❤❤

[@larasmug]

You went to her concerttt 😍😍😍

[@ellaenchanted6345]

So random but i love my scalp massager! Hope you were able to fix yours lol!

[@shaymayco99]

I tried to read through Wuthering Heights earlier this month and I couldn't finish it. I think it is a good book, but I was just really in the mood for a super dark, ghosty book and it just didn't give me that. I will return to it eventually, but I would love to hear your take on it! I've loved most of the book recs that you talked about in your Fall videos so far, so maybe you can romanticize Wuthering Heights enough for me to get back to it and finish it haha

[@jjfireplace]

I've been considering doing my master's degree in the Netherlands and your vlogs are really convincing me haha

[@SM-dd9xi]

love your vlogs!! 😍🍁 which camera are u using? 💗

[@ChiaMIaLALALA]

[@ladansemakabre]
