[@claudianunez8983]

Hi Same problem here I'm trying the method of reading the books that I already have and then buy another one. However , just during February I read 3 books and bought 6 . So, it is difficult.

[@TheBookLeo]

It's great that you're doing your best! :D

[@BooksMichelle]

Omg I was so invested in the mystery of the lost book even though I already knew the outcome. Yasss we had so much fun! Can’t wait till our next meetup 🥰

[@TheBookLeo]

haha thank youu! and yes, same!

[@tnan123]

the production quality of your vlogs are really great! Your detective skills are quite impressive and I'll say I've seen better socks as well, but I'm sure we'll get more reviews of others in your collection no? :p

[@TheBookLeo]

You should send your bookmark art to book depository so they can put it on their free bookmarks 😊

[@TheBookLeo]

Thank you for showing us around Leiden (and Amsterdam) in this video. I was there last summer and I just loved it! I was going back this year for another summer school but they cancelled it because of covid.

[@chloepoudrier9309]

I would TOTALLY buy one of the bookmarks you made if you printed them 😍

[@nuggetstump]

What a gorgeous town you live in! I found your channel from searching for reading vlogs, so helloooo! 🙋🏼‍♀️

[@wandagambling6523]

So glad that you were able to solve the mystery. It was like any good mystery, a bit confusing, but solved in the end.

[@TheBookLeo]

indeed it was haha

[@keyo3945]

ok I have to admit that I am addicted to your videos

[@parkerrose3590]

Some days there is so much snow here I can't walk to the mail box in the driveway. I stand outside the door and see if the mail person will hand it to me!! No more ordering books in the winter!!!

[@TheBookLeo]

wow haha that's quite a problem!

[@idontknowwhattoputhere361]

I read If We Were Villains in January and I looooved it. Can‘t wait to hear what you think about it :D

[@pagesandpeaches]

[@normanorourke3244]

Love your youtube channel it got me reading international books not just books published by English authors

[@saharbouzidi2]

This vlog was so much fun!!!!

[@happyface4711]

All book crazy nerds. You can go to resale shops they got alot of cheap books. A little old probably but still good. Love y'all book nerds btw nerd is a complement to say someone is smart ☺️☺️

[@storiesofwonderland8900]

I enjoyed this vlog so much! I was cackling at your sock reviews.

[@chantalrijkbost619]

Ik ben super benieuwd naar dat boek! Ik heb hem gisteren eindelijk binnen gekregen, en ga bijna beginnen eraan!

[@marjovy]

tbh i was very excited about the sock reviews cause i love socks

[@ShaniceNoelle]

This was soooo creative and your editing skills are amazing!! I'm glad the mystery got solved hahaha

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you! and yes the mystery was quite the ride haha

[@rachaelmarie3194]

This is the first vlog I’ve watched of yours and IM GETTING TIPS. It was so lovely to meet you! X

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you! and yes I loved it too :D

[@hurripowers]

Your town looks amazing. I love old timey places.

[@TheBookLeo]

yes i love the old dutch style

[@alfme]

You will love dark academia, as an aesthetic and "genre"! Another book with that vibe is the secret history, idk if you have read it. Btw I really love your channel :)

[@TheBookLeo]

yes I looove dark academia!

[@MsJazzelFrazzel]

I don’t know if it’s really like ninth house, but if you’re into books about secret (dark) university societies and stuff like that you should check out “The Furies” by Katie Lowe or “The Secret History” by Donna Tart. They’re SO GOOD. I couldn’t put them down. I love those dark academia settings. Love you’re video’s btw. You’re editing is great and you’re video’s are always so nice to watch even if we don’t always read the same books :)

[@dago_0730]

Impressed by your drawing skill as well !

[@piscespaperbacks]

I liked ninth house so much when I read it, but it took me so long to read lol I think when I read it a second time I'll like it even more!

[@ayanigloriaxo5529]

Since you like fantasy in university settings I think you’ll love The Black Witch Chronicles by Laurie Forest 🧡 not many people have heard about it :) also I too love Leigh Bardugo i actually just finished crooked kingdom and I really want to read Ninth House 🖤

[@TheBookLeo]

ohhh thank you im gonna remember that!

[@jmsl910]

you are epically awesome💕

[@BasicallyBrittx]

Loved this!! Hahah me looking at that camera 😂 Also omg you used some music that I used in my Australia vlogs and now I miss it so much

[@TheBookLeo]

haha yes that was too funny to leave out haha. And ohh I love it as well when music reminds of good old times :)

[@Ema_-xw2ph]

Same

[@mattea2629]

I’ve started like 5 books and just bought a new one, and it’s not going to swell 😬🥴 Love your videos!!❤️❤️

[@TheBookLeo]

woops! have fun reading!

[@0bookhoarder096]

Omg I was in Leiden for a uni trip in October!!! I never knew you were near there 😱😱

[@chiaracarlino3329]

The secret history by Donna Tart also has ninth house vibes

[@cadydenning-kras2907]

Ok Nancy Drew lol. I love your energy!!

I just love your personality

[@country18lover]

wow your art is beautiful!

[@itsabooksworld]

My goal is also not to buy many books this year, but I only have 34 unread books and have been reading a lot as well, so I just got a subscription to Scribd, which has a large selection of English digital books and audiobooks. It's only 10 euros a month. Maybe worth a try? It's not as awesome as physical books, but at least I can read more haha.

[@merelmountain]

10:02 that transition!!!

[@aanchalshah5458]

you're so underrated

[@Plus-nc8dl]

sometimes the book is the best friend

[@regevvino]

There is a saying that Love is the meeting between the most random and the most sacred - so that your random personality in the eyes of one person will be a miraculous coincidence for the other. It's funny that you're embarrassed around people you don't know considering the fact you're so special... If I were metting you, oozing with personal charm, I'd ask myself "What is this amazing thing doing in my world?". In short, don't be embarrassed, if people like you won't walk with your head held high what will others will say? (I hope I didn't embarrass myelf with this response, and sorry for bad grammer, in hebrew i'm great). Very importent p.s: Your friends... they look wonderful.

[@atumultintheclouds]

! I read If We Were Villains recently and I thought it was really fun and gripping! I hope you like it. Have you been to the American Book Center? It's on the same street as the Waterstones and I love it

[@TheBookLeo]

yes i love going to abc as well!

[@alesswonderland]

I love this video and your personality. Just because you don't edit on an Apple, can I ask what editing program you use? Edit: I also like reading books slowly that I am loving.

How can find what my reading speed is?

[@Ada2994]

Very important question. Is Ninth House connected to Leigh Bardugo's previous books in any way? Can I start my journey with her with Ninth House or should I read the other ones first?

[@TheBookLeo]

nope it's its own thing! so you can definitely read it!

[@Ada2994]

@@TheBookLeo thank you! I will! Keep up the great content! Have a great day. :)

Lovely video

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you :D

[@nostalgia7965]

Got recommended this video by yt and I found it's a great opportunity to ask you about Ninth House. I heard people talking about trigger warnings and some listed them all and it made me worried I won't handle it, so I was wondering if you could confirm if it was extreme or just flash backs and such like Inej's ones in Crooked Kingdom? Like is it detailed and uncomfortable or not so bad?

[@TheBookLeo]

there are definitely a lot of flashbacks, but even in those it's rather graphic

Umm wow art skills

[@arkantharif5994]

I know my comment kinda irrelevant about this entire video but im curious~ What's your opinion about comic book ? How do you "see" it ? is it basically the same , like any other book that you read (Novel , Biography , etc ) but with kick ass visual art ? And yes , i know that you read comic you've mention it in your video before I just wanna know your thought :) Thanks.

[@TheBookLeo]

i have only read some graphic novels and manga before, not tradititonal comic books. but i think they're pretty ok!

[@elrilmoonweaver4723]

I've gotten back into drawing. I don't really care about buying books anymore so.... yey for saving money on books but spending it on art supplies instead? At least I USE the art supplies I get. I'm thinking of selling a whole bunch of my books so I can buy more art supplies. :/

[@leanne19]

you look like princess kate middleton :}

[@joshuabanjarnahor8125]

Do you read comic books as well?

[@TheBookLeo]

i don't but i'm not opposed to them

controversial opinion, but I hate hard cover books lmao, they're terrible to read
