Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 year old girl who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave). I live in the Netherlands and go to university, but make booktube videos in my spare time :)

Good.I have been watching your videos. More than I should and I love it. Love your videos. ❤

[@johnsaxongitno4life588]

I love this video please do more of them love John from Australia

[@sivaprakash1247]

I want someone to look at me the way Leonie looks at Leigh Bardugo's Shadow and Bone : Collector's Edition.

"When I stole a piece of bread to feed my stomach when I was 14, they threw me into the prison and gave me free bread for 6 months there. This is the justice of life." Les Miserables, Victor Hugo

[@SabinesBookNook]

That coffee-house-room idea is THE BEST

[@_sarathedreamer]

Leonie I just looked up the dutch grading system because I’m that kind of nerd and OH MY GOD CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is amazing!!! ✨✨✨

[@coreandarlionstarot]

Found your comment, got me all intrigued so went to look it for myself. Now I get the hype! That is awesome! And if anyone else were to stumble upon this and want to know, snagged this from the page I located the information on. " In Holland, however, an 8 is a very good grade, since most grades are between 6 and 8; only excellent students achieve a grade higher than 8. "

[@rikkebay8548]

Am I the only one who adores the fact that she ends her videos with a 'goodbye' instead of the usual 'byyeee'?

[@Jaeno311]

I love this channel. Feels like old friends

[@liesadventure]

Leonie: "I got it for my birthday and I still haven't read it" me: *trying not to look at the books I asked for and got for my birthday two years ago*

[@loverofpages]

The vibes of this video are just IMMACULATE oh my god

[@TheBookLeo]

thank you lea!

[@behindthepages6248]

Congratulations on your 8,5 for your thesis! (the dutch student in me is like “that is practically a 9 right”) I’m actually starting my thesis in 2 weeks :s Also, love the coffeehouse idea!

[@musicandloveismylive]

AN 8.5 FOR YOUR MASTER THESIS???!!! Holy damn girl!! Congrats!!

[@lun3489]

*"hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of leonie needs to get her life together"* my first time in your channel and i get the feeling i wont be dissappointed

[@BaBababa-hy6vv]

You're certainly the queen of reading vlogs. The aesthetics is always on point.

[@adiahh6382]

I loved the choice of music in your videos (including this one), they are always so good and so calming and it just makes me feel like cozying up in bed with a book and reading a really atmospheric, dark and mysterious book for hours on end undisturbed. It's just so peaceful and amazing!

[@rebecca789]

Please could you do a spoilery reading vlog of shadow and bone with your live reactions to what you're reading.

[@ACupofNicole]

your reading vlogs always give me the motivation I need to... get my life together ❣️

[@hafeezeyy]

The truth

[@megang4567]

I love the aesthetic of you videos. It makes me feel so comfy and cozy.

[@neamkh.3373]

i love just how whenever i feel a reading slump crawling in my life i watch your videos and instently it goes away. thank you for creating such happy moments for me (:

[@isabeladalpoz6828]

Thies week I read Six of Crows and now I'm reading Crooked Kingdom!! Loving it!!!

[@zofiabochenska1240]

Your video does made me smile indeed. And i completely share your thoughts on snow this year!

[@alicebertino1216]

This video take back to me my will to read... I loved the Seven Husband of Evelyn Hugo! But yes, Death Note is fantastic

[@bellecanread]

the coffeehouse was so fricken cute !!! 💓

[@nilpori1610]

your videoss are so calming... whenevr I need some motivation to read my unfinished books i always watch you videos...love you💓💓💓

[@flouee6513]

I love all your vlogs and the music choice 💖

[@danielleyarbrough8274]

Your vlogs are always so chill💕Congrats on the good grades🎉🎉🎉

[@LittleMew133]

I love how you can bike everywhere in the Netherlands (even to get your book package). That's like my dream to be able to do that.

[@evenezerqjose]

Congrats on your thesis, Leonie :)

[@zeynep-turkoglu]

I love your reading vlogs, they are so cosy✨🍁❤️

[@bookingit183]

This was so interesting to watch! And very relaxing too :) (That Shadow and Bone book is BEAUTIFUL)

[@AustinOnStandby]

I had the same issue with Fahrenheit 451 and all of Bradbury's works, for that matter. You're so close to finishing; just gotta power through! This vlog was fantastic btw. The vibes, the editing, the structure. All great. And I like that you gave us a little look at wherever you are (the Netherlands?). It's so beautiful over there. I'm from Los Angeles, so I'm so used to all the scenery around me being objectively ugly, but wherever you are looks so much like where my heart wants to live.

[@alicefoster3396]

"I’m up to despair" is the perfect description of my pandemic study experience 😂

[@iremvardar7375]

I'm from turkish. I subscribe to you. my purpose of subscribing was first to improve my English with a hobby that I love, and I found you on youtube. Watching you all day is addictive !!! You are really very, very positive and you spread happiness around. We want to see your 100,000 plaques in your hands !!! I bought many books with your suggestion and thanks for getting me into a reading habit.

[@kirathelightworker]

Hands down my favorite KZbinr. Your videos never fail to gift me with comfort and inspiration. Thank you for existing!

[@nrivanwrites]

Fahrenheit 451 is actually one of my favorite dystopias, especially compared to 1984, which I genuinely hated. I need to reread both of them because it's been a few years, maybe I'll come back and be able to give you some genuine reasons for my like/dislike of either. Loved this video! Was very cozy and nice to relax to before throwing myself into work.

[@isabellaortunodelpozo212]

I enjoy so much the music on your vlogs ✨✨

[@overBookedd]

such a cozy vlog! and OMG i loved the coffee house in your house idea!

[@ShaniFox]

Fahrenheit 451 is my favourite dystopian classic! I liked it a lot more than Brave new world and 1984 actually.

[@leslettresdereine]

Unrelated but would you consider one day showing us where you get your furniture and decoration ? I just LOVE your home 😭 Whatever I wanted to tell you that I’m obsessed with your channel. Your videos were a blessing during the first lockdown here in France and thanks to you I’ve even managed starting my own booktube channel. You’re a true inspiration. This reading vlog was a delight. ❤️

[@leacharlotte2624]

I'm so glad you're back with a new reading vlog🌼

[@sarah0315-]

Congrats on your good grade! Your channel makes me miss school :( but I get to live vicariously through you :)

[@CarolionCHAOS]

I read F451 like a decade ago when I was a preteen. All I remember was being amazed that the author imagined modern earphones/AirPods as little seashells that go in your ear and I thought that was so cool

[@sarahanduca4564]

this was so good and relaxing, thank you leo!!! (and your mushroom sweater? cardigan? idk, it's just PERFECT)

[@readerssea]

a few steps closer to having your life together is great!!

[@rossostyle2825]

What a cozy mood🧡

[@lisannebreeman]

I love the background music in this vlog whaaaa. It makes this video so calm & cozy

[@kirstenserneels]

love the green sweater you're wearing at the start!

[@Antistylestyleclub]

I love your realistic reading goals, I was instantly relaxed when you said you where reading a book for 3 months ❤️

[@legumesss]

I'm reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy for the first time at the moment. It really checks all the YA fantasy boxes and I gave the first two books "only" 3 stars each... but for some reason I feel really protective and attached to the series hahahaha. I don't want to hear people bashing it, so I am scared of your reread. I'd love to see a reading vlog on it though 🖤

[@magdalenadolorico-francoeu4596]

lmao i feel the same way! objectively i see a lot of issues with it/things that could’ve been done better but it honestly doesn’t bother me at all and i got super attached to the world and characters. also everyone hating Mal genuinely upsets me LIKE WHY? lmao

[@corinadelbarro2110]

@@magdalenadolorico-francoeu4596 same here!! I gave the book 3 stars because like you said, objectively it could have been done better and there were a couple problematic things, but Mal!! How could there be hate on Mal! 🥺❤️ The Darkling is one thing, but Mal has done everything for her (I do think that first kiss should’ve been later on in the series tho).

[@lostfaerie9570]

I love your vlogs soooo much!

[@JayGTheAwkwardBookworm]

Omg I want one of those blankets so bad now omg looks so cozy

[@eeeshieee]

congratulations on your thesis! also, you should definitely do more of these vlogs! they’re so calming and i love the dark academic vibes im getting from them. :-)

[@nitzeart]

Ugh this video made me smile so much specially with your excitement about the snow 💕 Also congratulations on your mark! I am so happy for you. As a student in the last semesters of uni that needs to start an internship and thesis soon to get my degree, in the middle on a pandemic, honestly I am in despair as well (and a bit scared as well). But it kind of helps to know we're not alone out there, and that it's ok if we struggle with it, but we can do it little by little and always take breaks to be happy about the snow :)

[@stickystar101]

I love the coffee set up!

[@Lokster71]

I might take a leaf out of your book and turn a small part of my room into a coffee shop/reading spot. :-) January in England is...miserable for many reasons but it was my 50th Birthday on Tuesday, which - obviously - I spent on my own in my room. I did call lots of people, so that was nice. But I got LOADS of books either directly or because friends sent me book tokens. I now have a book storage problem. But that's an OK problem to have.

[@larissaprates1384]

Happy belated birthday! Books as gifts are the best :)

[@Lokster71]

@@larissaprates1384 Thanks!

[@meem3538]

Happy 50th! Hope the weather clears up where you're at 😊 and happy reading

[@arjinacar9669]

This was a beautiful reading vlog, very calm and positive. and congratulations on your thesis!!! i am so happy for you 💕

[@iza_sowi]

I have to say this - you are my fav person on YT EVEEER ✨

[@jillianjones4090]

this video is just so cozy!! ❤️ i love it, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo was such a good read!

[@millyw.5140]

I love your vlogs. So cozy and relaxing.

[@thebookishmind]

This is the cutest, coziest reading vlog ever!! The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo is one of my favorites ever 💚💚💚

[@laurab8804]

it's actually really common for delivery services or the post service to deliver it to their next closest location and not to your neighbour in north america. I grew up in germany where packages would be left with the neighbour, and then when I moved to north america it was so fricking annoying to have to go pick up my packages at stores. I think there are more problems with theft, that's why they don't entrust it to the neighbours

[@AnneEWilliamson]

Reading vlog and in-depth review for Shadow and Bone! That copy is gorgeous!!!

[@kril4120]

i just love the ~vibes~

[@sofiaalemtonon4839]

OMG I'd love to hear your critiques on Fahrenheit 451 😭😭 could u make a video about it?

[@_nelld]

Never clicked so fast. This reading vlog is already beautiful and wholesome and I’m only two minutes in.

[@rebecca-ld1dr]

for anyone wondering an 8.5 in the Netherlands is like an A / 7/ first in the uk (this could be too high or too low but i think its sort of around the right area)

[@ClamoreFanForeva]

Omg, I SO would like to visit your coffeehouse and have a coffee with you!

[@anautisticreader2963]

I purchased that edition of Shadow and Bone. I was so excited when it arrived. It is so BEAUTIFUL!!

[@mariapiaalvarez5209]

Im not really into classics but i looove fahrenheit

[@frostkiss2]

I always forget that hardcover isn't that common outside of Germany & Austria, we get them always first. I prefer softcover haha

[@brimfulofbooks]

Congrats on your thesis! Also, Evelyn Hugo is sooo good, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!

[@SabinesBookNook]

Usually i hate snow but i was ecstatic this past weekend

[@TheBookLeo]

highlight of the week!

[@naghamhossam556]

that was so adorable Leonie ! also congrats on your thesis,so proud of you!

[@leaostmei5164]

Congrats in the thesis 🎉🎉 a shadow and bone reading vlog and/or discussion would be great 😁 and yesss, the seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo is so good 😍

[@Caroline-me6xy]

I love your vlogs so much! (and honestly, if i hadn't had to read 'Fahrenheit 451' in high school, i don't think i would have liked it. when i was 14 it blew my mind but then i read '1984' and 'Brave New World' and realized those were a lot better)

[@nadiranotnadhira1498]

the whole vid is so cozy i love itt

[@magdalenadolorico-francoeu4596]

please make a reading vlog or in depth review of shadow and bone! i just finished reading the series for the first time and i’d love to see what you think of the books

[@edwardlayman3291]

Your vlogs are wonderfully relaxing! Listening to this while internship searching, the struggle is real.. good luck with finishing your masters program!

[@White_Whillow]

Yes, a new vlog from Leonie! I am so happy. It is always like a tea with a good friend when I am watching you videos. By the way, your editing style is really great! 😊

[@hawthornetherose2295]

I miss writing and reading in coffee shops so much

[@BrunnoRamirez]

Leonie, I love your choice of music for your videos, especially like the one from 11:20 and from the ending. Then I was wondering if you ever have listened to any of Dark Sanctuary's songs.

[@kristentan419]

u have the best vibes

[@lottastam5168]

Your vlogs are always such a joy to watch! Congrats on your thesis, I'm starting my bachelor's thesis soon
