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 :)

you being a science student but giving off like lit/art vibes is my new favorite aesthetic
i guess it's kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?

@@hunterharper6025this is soo random 😂
"You're secretly into coffee"
All I see here are coffee people that know they have lost but are trying to deny it.
Tea people RISE! (And cocoa too, we love you too.)
Yes! My tea is steeping at this moment.
*2 years later*
I’m a coffee, tea, AND cocoa guy 😂 my three main drinks besides water
I drink coffee in the morning or a Mocca if I am in the mood and tea in the afternoon or at night, I just can't stand plain coffee at any hour that isn't the morning
I love Rooibos tea
I am not a native English speaker (actually I am not a English speaker, just reader hahahaha) and the funny thing is that I enjoy watching your videos because I like reading too and helps me with the listening part of learning English. My major achiviment was realising I can understand you without subtitles. Love your videos even tho we have different taste in books
I cried watching Arrival too! I tend to cry at emotional moments of meaningful realizations or like times when people's friends care for them or family's support them without question.
Arrival has some sad moments!
The fact that most of your answers are exactly what I would say about myself (every single personality question, the fact that we both are slow readers, being a student and not really knowing what comes next/having mixed feelings about going into academia, the fact that we study subjects that aren't that extremely different from one another (BMS and psychology) and we both had/have a tiny little dream of going to art school...) made my little heart very happy
you're a science student omg! Had no idea! You give off art school vibes through and through 😭❤️
Assumption: you're such a wholesome person
Oh wait, my bad, that's just a fact 💛
hahah I love how asking if someone listens to girl in red has two different meanings
INFP SQUAD!!
I honestly love your videos. I mean once I start watching a video that you uploaded I literally have to finish it like I can't click out of your videos. I genuinely love your vibe and I love your book reviews as well.
I cried during Arrival too! The part about the protagonist’s daughter broke me 🥺
In a masters program: “when I grow up...” 😂
I know what you mean, I'd considered pursuing a PhD after doing my second Masters in science, but after an extensive hands on research project between two academic institutions I realised that scaling the academic ladder was not for me.
It's not only really competitive, it often feels like each person you work with is an island (especially the further up you go) because people start to get more and more specialised. Hating the project itself likely didn't help, and neither did my supervisor being miserable for a lot of it because some other dude got a paper in on the thing he was working on before he got the chance.
I now work as a programmer/software developer and I love it because I feel supported by my colleagues and there's the sense of achievement that every new project brings new challenges but then new knowledge that I can talk about if I apply elsewhere.
I am an INFP and tea person too! 🙋♀️🌿 And I hate debating too lol. But on another note, in my opinion you don't come off as an arrogant person at alll, you look like such a nice and cool person 💛
Being scared of having arguments is such a mood!
I can tell you from personal experience the accents you slip into have to do with the media you consume.
My sister and mom slip into Russian accents when talking to our chickens and cooking and all three of us will occasion slip into an English accents (Because Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Downton Abbey are on constantly) my cousin can do a good Australian accent because for three years she only watched H2O.
It's so cool that you can slip in and out of accents!
I always get so excited when someone says they’re an INFP too
Definitely not getting any arrogant vibes from you. Ever. I was also very surprised to find out you were not actually a redhead! I also just wanted to show my support for your channel, which I love very much. Your voice is so soothing!
People not studying and passing exams... I'm a world champion at that. I simply get the right subjects, every single time. My greatest achievements were having to read 14 books, only read 1, the questions were obviously about that 1 book or passing exams, multiple choice questions where I didn't even understand the questions or the answers. One time someone wanted to test this ability and just gave me a test from a subject I never, ever learned, right there on the spot. Passed! Barely, but passed.
Yay, a fellow INFP. This was a fun video to watch.
your background looks like a pinterest board omg
I'm also not a native English speaker and I was once told that my English accent sounded like an Australian accent! I thought it was funny because I didn't even really know what an Australian accent sounded like at the time :D
I 100% agree with you on feeling the inaccuracies with star signs. I don't ascribe to astrology per se, but on the whole I'd say that most of me (with the exception the rest of my life being messy when I'm focused on one thing) does not jive with the stereotypes of an Aquarius.
Hey another Tea person! Earl Grey, hot, with honey and a slice of lemon is how I take mine
this was both informative and entertaining! awkward shy people club all the way
this is so fun! i'm watching this one year later--as you wear your harvard sweatshirt & make pumpkin soup!! great flashback
Your etsy is gonna open around 2am in my country but I hope some of the items are left till tomorrow morning.
Everything in stock is gorgeous! 😍❤️
thank you! and i've never sold out in one night before so i'm sure it'll be fine!
@@TheBookLeo you sold out everything within 4 hours! 🎉🎊🧡 Aah, well...there's always a next time for me 😭 but I'm so happy for you. ❤️
@@sawmea5308 i did not expect this at all 😭 i make sure the next restock happens at a different hour so more people get the chance to buy!
@@TheBookLeo 💛💛💛
UPDATE : I COULD FINALLY ORDER THEM!!!!! 😭🎉🎊 My order got split into two, for some reason, so I had to pay double delivery and I had to fill in my card info 20 times BUT I FINALLY ORDERED THEM. Thanks, Leonie x💕❤️
You are the nicest person I watch on TH-cam! keep being you ❤❤❤
(14:34 first time my gaydar was wrong 😅)
I'm also a tea person !!! I really enjoy the smell of coffee but the taste it's 🤢
Yes, go team tea! ❤️😅
omg I speak afrikaans and when you spoke to your roomate I could not believe how similar dutch is to afrikaans! also, cheese was definitely the hardest thing for me to cut out when I was going vegan it's so hard! Honestly the thing that made me do it is just watching documentaries, the dairy industry is just so awful :( I wonder if there are good vegan cheeses in the netherlands, there's some amaaaaazing ones here in Australia :)
Talking about assumptions can be a good ice breaker for social gatherings!
literal seconds before the height reveal at 15:44 i made a wild guess (in feet and inches, sadly) because those are just the vibes leonie gives, so imagine my shock when i got it right DOWN TO THE INCH
Are you kidding me, I was just thinking of showing one of your videos to my hairdresser as an example of the natural redish brown hair colour I want 😂😂
I love you, seriously. I am obsessed with your videos. You're a goddess 💕
How do you balance a relationship, Booktube and constantly reading without your partner feeling unwanted because you spent so much time reading? The reason I’m asking is because I don’t read as much as I would want to just because my relationship is a ldr and it requires a lot of reassurance and texting and attention and I feel like I can’t fully get into a book without constantly being on my phone so I just want to know your thoughts about that
In any relationship one has to respect your hobbies, its one thing to want to take twenty minutes to read a book, your entitled to that, always, but to take twenty minutes to read a book and your partner is complaining your not paying attention to them. NO!! In any relationship theirs got to be a balancing act, spending time with each other vs doing what you personally love. You need that downtime away from each other otherwise your gong to drive yourself crazy, that's not a desire its a need and you have to demand that even if your not going to read. My parents for example, my mother loves to read my dad not at all, but if everything's in order in the house, like chores accomplished nothing going on and she's got a half hour to read he will not disturb her unless its an emergency or he absolutely needs to ask something of importance, NOT stupid crap, or needs her help. And when he's tinkering in the garage my mother does the same thing, she respects that that is his time.
if someone needs constant reassuring, texting like every five minutes, and needs that constant constant attention that you cannot read that's not healthy for either of you. If this reassurance and attention is constant "all" day everyday its clear he wants you to divert attention from what you love to adore him. Simply put if he's so insecure and clingy that you cannot do what you love to a healthy degree you need to tell him simply that while you love him you need him to give you space and room and that just because he doesn't hear from you for half a day it does not mean crap, your not going anywhere, and he needs to stop demanding your attention. Its unhealthy, a little cringe, and very childish behavior, think high school. If he cannot respect your wishes then hon, I'd be rethinking the relationship. I'm a book lover myself, I have a huge library and often its the thing of many running jokes about how much I love them and where i put them and how much I read but jokes aside, if someone cannot respect your love of books and the time you want to spend with them no matter how long it is then they in turn are not respecting you.
PS: Turn the phone off when you want to read, should help, everyone else can wait till your done and you contact them.
Before you said your star sign I tried to guess, and I had two ideas: Cancer or Virgo, and I was right! This makes me so happy for some reason😂♍️
Wait, I'm 1.65 and really believed you were way taller than me😂😂 My hair was the same before I coloured it. It looked really dark brown, almost black, but in sunlight it had an orange tint.
Is getting a license in the Netherlands even necessary? Cause ya'll have such a great public transport system.
I'm always looking forward for your videos !!!
thank youu
my god i just related so much with you in this video, i swear that most of our traits and tastes are similar
Coffee only tastes bad until your brain associates its flavor with the ability to not have a sleepy migraine. Then you'll start to like it, through the awesome power of self deception. I also totally relate to your crying at moments in stories that are not sad. It is the moments where people sacrifice some part of their self for others that get me, or when they show how much they care. The happy moments are far more tear jerking than the sad ones. I wonder if this is due to some personality trait.
I NEED to know where you got those earrings!
I definitely thought you were closer to 5'10/5'11, not because of being Dutch but for some reason it just made sense to me picturing you (maybe as a tall girl myself)! I am so surprised you are only 5'5.
I agree that Arrival is not a sad movie in general, I was perfectly fine until the last 10 minutes unexpectedly left me on the verge of tears.
About crying after watching movies, the last movie that made me teared up was Christopher Robin. Funnily, I already watched it the year when it was released (2018, I think), and three months ago I watched it again for the old time's sake. I ended up a mess. All the life lessons hit pretty hard.
21:46 is so painfully accurate
Always love these videos! Also, I am Norwegian and I get the same comment about having an Australian accent!
I´ve been waiting so long for this video
I'm just curious, but have you finished your master's degree?
nope currently still need to go for 1.5 years!
I knew from your videos that I share a lot of your opinions, but damn; I was not prepared to agree on so much. Also, completely love that accent.
hi, i'm sorry, are you any way related to Kel Lauren? you remind me so much of her! anyways, love the videos ♡ (new subscriber here so im sorry if i missed anything)
i love kel's videos so much! but we're not related haha
Omg I loved the Momo and Appa cat names.
if you don't listen to the mentioned music for the implied reason I'm surprised in a positive way about the books you read
Check out The Band Camino if you’re a fan of indie pop/rock. They’re so good!
I'm also a dance party person with very specific circumstances
when I first watched your videos I assumed you were Russian, I'm honestly so bad at accents hahaha
I'm happy that I knew a lot of things. I've watched (I think) every video you've made since you came back, so it would be hard not to know some things.
I'm shocked that you're not a Leo, I thought that was what the channel name meant this whole time.
I'll just cry myself to sleep because of her sweater weather/girl in red answer, don't mind me
I love your earrings! ☀🌙
MY BELGIAN MALINOIS IS NAMED MOMO
Ok, we are very very similar!!! 95% of what you said is me. Crazy! 🥰🇨🇦
12:20 you are rich: in the Netherlands we have a sugardaddy called ‘ome Duo’ 🙃
Yeah, but he wants it all back later😑
OMG you do give off INFP vibes :)
ahaha i guess it makes sense then!
Could you make a video about your favourite tv shows/movies/music? 😁
Same-- I am an INFP or INTP depending on the test I take
yay infps together!
I don't have any idea about star signs and horoscope... Because I don't know anything about it or I have a star signs... So I'm with leonie
_two months later_ omg you're a Virgo? Me too! August or September? I'm August 29th (being weirdly enthusiastic about possibly sharing a birthday don't mind me)
My cat's name is also Momo! I almost named him Appa. 😆
Your earrings are so beautiful! 🌞🌛 Where did you buy them?
Omg!!!!!!!!! I kinda guessed you’re a virgo! Hehe! 🐶❤️
Wow I hadn't even realised you started speaking Dutch when your friend entered. Perks of being bilingual I guess 😅
20:12 I can relate so much 😂
I always cry at the happy moments in movies lol and I’m also INFP :)
I've just found thsi lovely channel. You a re gorgeous and the content you provide is very interesting :D 😍😍
my height is 165 cm too! haha I’ve always imagined you as such a taller person
I remember that you mentioned a date with your partner in some video but I don't remember in which exactly
I didn't know You Tube doesn't like sweary videos . . . that explains a lot of mine I guess 😂😂
I have to say, I also bought in on the thinking you were tall thing. I live in Germany at the moment and have a lot of Dutch friends, most of whom are 1.70+. But you're only 3cm taller than me and I feel lied to
yes it can get the video demonitised unfortunately
18:20 as an INFP, same
Finished the video and now I'm just staring at the video's thumbnail because I never thought you were a redhead and I want to see it 😅😂
At least five cats is a good answer
I take my coffee with a lot of sugar and milk as well😂
That's what I learned from my dad and uncle XD
I don’t really not what to comment but HI!
You and I would get along so well🥰😂
I wish I was on the same plant level as you 🌱💞
you're the poster child for virgos around the globe, trust me (coming from a virgo who's obsessed with astrology).
Hi. ❤
Here’s a treat for you today: your english is very good! The first few minutes, I didn’t even notice that you weren’t american 😱. Nice!
i totally relate as a vegetarian who cannot give up cheese, LOL!
De AH heeft vegan kaas die heel goed smelt en het merk Violife heeft ook vegan mozzarella, feta, een soort van parmezaanse kaas en roomkaas :)
ja ik heb wel wat dingen bij de jumbo gezien ook van violife maar daar zitten echt 0 eiwitten in
@@TheBookLeo True, maar dat kun je wel uit andere dingen halen. Ik was meer zovan als je meer vegan wilt eten, maar kaas mist qua smaak/gerechten, dan zijn dit goede opties :) Ik had ook liever gehad dat er meer eiwitten inzaten...
Awkward INTP ready to join one of Leonie' cults!
The comment about sports and being unable to catch balls is soo me
We are so alike
How is Arrival not sad?!?
I'm just watching this and thinking I'm watching myself in a TH-cam video. I am relating WAY too much to this it's scary send heEeEeEeEeEeLp
Sorry to disappoint but I'm waaayyyyyy more of a dog person lol got 3 of them and plan to get more soon
Omg im an infp too :)
❤️
AAAHHHH MY DOGS NAME IS APPA
I feel like cheese is most vegetarians reason to not go vegan xD Just take it step by step, find alternatives you like, learn recipes without. It's not all or nothing :)
First time I heard you I thought you're a girl from Ireland (and that's not because of the cliché of red hair), who went to another English-speaking country. You don't have a clear Irish accent, but there's a certain tone in your speech I can't place anywhere else. Neither America, nor Australia. So I thought you might be Irish in Canada perhaps. But apparently you're not... But you look Irish (and again, not because of the hair colour... 🙂)
