reading all weekend while social distancing 📚 😷 // kcarathon reading vlog

[@darkacademiacafe8238]

the amount of reading done without any sense of guilt has to probably be the only positive thing about this situation! and also the amount of content booktubers are putting out, all these reading vlogs are just [chefs kisses]

[@LienVNDL]

Why do I always discover readathons after they’re done

[@gabby-fb3jc]

sameee

[@RLVRT]

Reading books: Dutch Accent. Making pancakes: Australian.

[@andreagrasso7635]

I still can't wrap my head around the fact I don't know girls like her in real life😂. She deserves more followers on KZbin. Gosh! She's amazing

[@carly885]

Hallelujah for all these vlogs amongst the stress and social distancing 😊

[@dee1661]

I relate to what you said about speaking in groups with men and the strange contractions

[@jennifermarea8011]

People are probably freezing the fruits and vegetables that they're stocking up on. I stocked up on some already frozen fruits and vegetables because if I end up having to self-quarantine I don't wanna be without fruits and veggies for 2 whole weeks

[@issjones]

If these vlogs are helping you, keep making them! I know a lot of people will also be looking for things to do, and watching your videos are always entertaining! :)

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you, I will!

[@WhitneyChakara]

A Wrinkle in Time was required reading when I was in like Elementary or Middle School. One of my first introductions to SciFi. It holds a special place in my heart. 😊

[@TheBookLeo]

I can imagine that!

[@joshuabanjarnahor8125]

9:09 how can you read and watch video simultaneously? Girl i stan!!!

[@VidhyaVLbooks]

Wow! The edits are goals! Loved the autumnal feel

[@kurlykaitlyn]

I know it’s old video, but if you see this please tell me the red lipstick your wearing when making pancakes! love it!

[@buddiesdog]

Highly recommend checking out Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado-Perez. Surprisingly easy to read even though it's mostly stats.

[@aless.andra9620]

I loved that book! It was very dense (not something you can listen when distracted), but amazing content overall!❤

[@TheBookLeo]

Thank you for the rec! I heard great things about that book!

[@normanorourke5832]

Loved what you said about shopping everyone buy toilet rolls and fresh food, the same happed in the uk

[@karolinamikeskova8043]

Oh yeah, here in the Czech Republic, schools are closed for at least two weeks (one week in, one to go??), so I also have plenty of time for reading and just chilling. Stay safe guys and wash your hands a lot!!! 💞 💞 💞 💞

[@rachaelmarie3194]

I loved that Live show so much, I'm so glad it provided some comfort!

[@dafullymad365]

Be sure to stay safe there! And i am actually really sad right now because my roommates from the Netherlands are actually flying back there because of the virus. (I currently live in Mexico), so this is a really damn sad situation.. :/ i was also learning dutch because of them

[@aless.andra9620]

Your experience with "beautiful prose" is what I had with Frankenstein. I restarted audiobook in English about 3 times before deciding to switch to an audiobook in my native language, as regardless of how hard I was trying to stay focused, narration just didn't want to stay in my head! I have an overall rule now - don't listen to audiobooks in English if they were written before 1900s - either read in physical format or listen as translated work👍

[@suus-arido393]

Ik ben mij ook aan het isoleren, books books here we goooo

[@rachaelmarie3194]

Thank you so much for taking part, my lovely! I'm hope that you have some amazing reading times during our social distancing times

[@TheBookLeo]

I loved that you organised it!

[@antoniakirner8097]

In germany all schools are closed but we have to do exercises online😭But in free times you can read😍

[@rachaelmarie3194]

The conversation at 15:00 is such a mood.

[@TheBookLeo]

I'm so glad i'm not the only one, but on the other hand sad that this is happening to more people

[@TheDORIANGRAE]

THIS IS THE BEST READATHON VLOG

[@asmab4118]

When you first mentioned outspoken in the vlog I was like YES I'm starting this today so now I'm disappointed it's not about what you first thought it was. And also yes you are definitely not alone in this. I struggle with speaking so much, and the irony with this I do speak a lot ( kinda ) like.. with my group of friends or my siblings I definitely talk a lot. But I doubt myself a lot and find myself embarrassed mid sentence or just panic a little and lose words?? And it's worse with people I don't know well. Like I get so awkward and can't tell a proper story and feel everyone disconnecting. I think it comes a little from the fear of being unheard. Idk I've felt so much growing up like what I'm saying is stupid and not worth it.

[@TheBookLeo]

I feel you so much! And it's hard to change it so when people say 'just do it, go for it' i'm like yeah well it's not that simple ^^'

[@holistic7980]

You already have the perfect access to understand authentic feminism the way, though, life of the Prophet peace be upon and his wives and daughters. It's all there and it's amazing. Hadiths. Qur'an.

[@Erika-pq7ip]

I was doing a readathon today. And I have 11 hours more but I think I'm gonna get some sleep cause I'm about to burn out lolol

[@ottoismy1dog]

I did really enjoy this video. my local grocery store was out of toilet paper, hand sanitizer & fresh meats?? people are crazy.

[@Alittlebitofeverything29]

Drinking tea in a hot chocolate mug SAVAGE!

[@theofficialbooknerd4476]

I’m feeling sick too 🤧 glad I’m not the only one

[@SabinesBookNook]

I'm so sad that we won't be able to see each other tomorrow due to the social distancing, but that's very understandable :(

[@TheBookLeo]

good thing we have our reading party :D

[@heyitsgess874]

Have you ever read Hyperversum? One of my favourite series on time travelling! 🥰

[@ItsmeRenataa]

thankyou for mentioning this feminists books, I actually know none and am really interested in it

[@kiwistars]

what was in the squirt bottle you put in the pan before the pancake batter?? just curious!

[@TheBookLeo]

A kind of baking butter!

[@livtupi]

Little kids acting like adults to me is just soooo funnyyyyy ahahahhahaha

[@Lilithka]

In regards to being part of the discussion I would recommend keeping an eye contact with the person who's speaking, maybe even lean in a bit to signal you are about to say something.

[@nelim.4282]

we love good influence

[@alejandravelazquez3452]

If you are searching for more feminist nonfiction to read: I would really recommend "In Search of our Mother's Gardens" by Alice Walker, The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir, "This Bridge called my Back", and look into Dr. Kimberle Crenshaw! I also think that there are other books with more specific topics (such as "Revolutionary Mothering" or "The Girls who Went Away") that are still pretty amazing reads!

[@lifesabeach2597]

Taking an online Bachelors degree and reading Wheel of Time for a second time and all stocked up on food and things so I am ready

[@sitisakinah9218]

Every reader: I don't have anymore books to read 😂

[@willg6553]

Brazil!!!!!!!!

[@miriam5933]

Stay safe people! In Spain we are struggling, we can only get out of home with a justified reason or we get a huge fine, which I hope will be effective in this situation. I graduated in medicine last year and we are starting to get calls to work, even if we were supposed to choose specialty next month and start in May. I guess all of that will be delayed. We are kind of panicking but on the other hand really willing to help actively, but until then what we can do for one another is staying home and enjoy all those things we've been taking for granted ❤ hope the pancakes were nice! 😋

[@TheBookLeo]

Hope you stay safe!

[@maritareads5229]

I’d recommend Ain’t I a Woman by bell hooks and Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde for some feminist non-fiction/theory 😊

[@TheBookLeo]

Thank you for the rec :D

[@3lea.strato]

is it me or her accent completely changed after the half of the video? 😂 #support

[@TheBookLeo]

yeah i don't know what happened to me haha

[@lasaves3207]

Ik klikte toevallig op deze video en toen kwam ik bij 4:20 en zag ik Leiden en toen dacht ik hey wat leuk (ik zit ook op de uni in Leiden; studeer Literary Studies master), maar ik word er ook sad van want we mogen natuurlijk niet meer naar de uni :(

[@TheBookLeo]

eyy wat leuk dat je ook in leiden studeert!

[@adelaheath4221]

We love a feminist queen 💕

[@sophiec3648]

I know this is an old video, but if you still want a non-fiction feminist book, Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez is an amazing read

[@ShaniceNoelle]

The food you were making looked very good 👀

[@TheBookLeo]

It waaas :D

[@AliceCullen0890]

A Wrinkle in Time is a series book and a movie

[@leoraaileen]

Omg the Veronica rueckert book sounds v gooood! Ik heb ook nog aanraders: bitch doctrine van laurie penny, misogynation door Laura Bates en things men explain to me (?) van Rebecca Solnit. Allemaal non fictie!!! Liefs ❤️❤️❤️

[@leoraaileen]

Oh en Nederlands: Damn, Honey (de podcast daarvan is ook GEWELDIG) en Heb je nou al een vriend? Beiden van Marie Lotte Hagen en Nydia Voorthuizen ✨✨✨✨

[@TheBookLeo]

oehh dankje voor de aanraders! ik wilde naar Men explain things to me luisteren maar scribd had m niet :(

[@kingdomofmoviez5362]

Why did her accent change when she was making pancakes?

[@adillaafiani6921]

Leonie, I'm curious of what you're studying at Uni?

[@TheBookLeo]

Neurobiology!

[@itsabooksworld]

I have Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine on my tbr, which is about the scientifical gender studies. It's on Scribd as well and I believe also as audiobook.

[@y.m.2504]

i read this book last year and it blew my mind! part 2 specifically is mindblowing bc it goes super deep into the science and methodology! hope u enjoy it!

[@itsabooksworld]

@@y.m.2504 Ah now I'm even more curious! Does it read "lightly" and fast?

[@TheBookLeo]

ohh that sounds interesting!

[@y.m.2504]

@@itsabooksworld Fine has a pretty conversational tone, she's pretty sarcastic and witty! part 1 and 3 read faster than part 2, because they're more focused on analyzing the sociological and psychological aspects, while part 2 focuses on the neuroscience and methodology, so it all flew by pretty easily for me because i'm a psych student already! nevertheless, its still a really engaging read even if you have little to no background on the subjects :-)

[@waterblonk]

Is it me or did you suddenly turn Australian halfway into the video?

[@atumultintheclouds]

Right?!

[@neri1822]

WHAT IM SAYING!!!! I'm kind of confused

[@TheBookLeo]

I honestly don't know what happend either

[@adillaafiani6921]

Same here! So surprised that you're actually Australian Leonie! 😂

[@eleonoragiannetti3603]

I honestly don't get why people think that being on quarantine equals going for walks... quarantine means that you stay in your freaking house. Grocery shopping is ok but not going on a 2 hours long walk after that: you go grocery shopping and then come back home, that's it

[@lauterbath22]

There is a difference between quaritine and social distancing...

[@Duchess711]

How is grocery shopping, where you’ll be in a close distance with dozens of people, better than a walk, where you’ll maybe see a few and can keep a larger distance?

[@eleonoragiannetti3603]

@@Duchess711 only a few people at a time are allowed to enter the shops, to make sure there is no crowd and people are respect the distance

[@eleonoragiannetti3603]

@@lauterbath22 yes and if people keep thinking social distancing is enough you will soon be quarantined. Learn from our mistakes (Italy)

[@antonia8020]

Does anyone know of a quality audio book app that's free? I kept looking but couldn't find any...

[@TheBookLeo]

your library might have audiobooks!

[@antonia8020]

My town is small and nobody knows it, so our library mainly has physical books, but thanks for responding anyway :)

[@lauras4472]

Where did the British accent come from?😊

I couldn’t enjoy the wrinkle in time. XD

[@jakenewms4886]

What did you think of A Wrinkle in Time? I thought Meg was just annoying and the plot was kinda flat for me

[@junechevalier]

Social distancing is mood lately tbh and btw since I'm new here, are you interested in reading a novel manuscript? I'm currently writing a fantasy novel atm and having a beta reader to discuss about the development of novels like worldbuilding and characters and the plot would be a blessing. If it sounds boring, it's alright, but if you're interested, I could send you the first few chapters to see if you wanna continue or not. Dankje in advance

[@Ema_-xw2ph]

Do you have nosebleed before?

[@danielapiovesan3791]

[@shafiqulislam-l1l]

Be greedy, be catalyst As we know that “Greed leads to sin, Sin to death”. But this is nothing but a Universal falsehood. Do you believe that your greed is not greed, it's an ambition to flourish yourself and a vision to prove yourself before the audience. No industrialization has ever been possible without the greedy minds of businessmen as well as their ambitious initiatives. It’s not their selfish mind but their enthusiastic, desperate and avid thinking to progress that urges them to establish a small power loom or textile industry. Those small initiatives not just benefited them financially besides those small industries created plethora employment opportunities thereby contributing to reducing poverty at the early age of industrialization. So, its human appetite, which we call greed, was powerful catalyst to make some people rich and numerous multinational companies. No one can deny the economic significance of MNC and their contribution to the international trade arena. Every billionaire was greedy, every billionaire was visionary, every billionaire was the founder of breakthrough startup companies which turned an unemployed generation into an employed generation. However, being greedy should not be stereotyped as being selfish, rather greedy people should be looked at as an asset of our universe.
