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 :)

The amount of times that I’ve considered purging everything I own and adopting the dark academia aesthetic happens too often….
leonie’s editing is on another level honestly 😻
i’m gonna start saying “that’s not very dark academia of me” as a catchphrase
Im borrowing that.
0:37 her adding a hijabi and women of color to showcase the dark academia aesthetic makes me so happy!
All the love,
- a hijabi :)
yes!!! I notice that right away and soo happy how this aesthetic is evolving into a more diverse space for everyone to love art, learning and sharing coffee and books with otherss
❤️❤️❤️
Cottage core hijabi’s are my fave tooo they always looks so put together 😩❤️🔥
I honestly didn't even realize before you pointed it out, because they both fit the aesthetic so perfectly to me 😆
@@xLSofia i agreeee!
"book of the month doesn't ship outside the US"
But Leonie, how did you get it?!
*cries in European shipping costs*
Maybe with a courier service? Thats how we get or packages in the Dominican Republic, where shipping is ridiculous and national mail cant be trusted
I'm sure it's not a case that they *can't* ship outside the US, just that they don't want to, probably because it costs too much. They shipped to Leonie as part of the sponsorship deal I would say
cries in Latin America
I was getting some serious ASMR vibes from the sounds of the books being reorganized on the shelves (the sound of the books sliding, or being placed down with _clunks_ from the hardbacks).
What about the sounds of bread being cut off in the beginning :)
The way my ears pricked up when I heard bookshelf organizing. And a museum trip! Made me think of a book I think you'd like called 'Optic Nerve' by Maria Gainza, an argentinian art critic and writer. Thanks Leonie! 🖼️
Me 5 minutes ago: reorganizing my bookshelves while I watched The Book Leo
me: gets notification on TH-cam
¨oh look! It's Leonie!....OH she is also reorganizing her bookshelf!¨
me now: reorganizes her bookshelves *with* Leonie😌😌😌
The intro was so aesthetically pleasing :)) this is honestly the highlight of my day
On taking yourself on dates; I planned a little citytrip to Utrecht. I am staying in a hotel by myself, having meals by myself and obviously having fun by myself! Very excuted
omg you have to continue this series! this is so cosy, the aesthetic is so beautiful! ☕️💌
“since, ya know...the world situation.”
I felt that.
I also was at a life-reset moment and that plus LEONIE posting an entire vlog about it it's the best thing ever!!
I also was looking for aesthetic inspo to motivate me with my studies, and so happens that one of the assignments I have to do is for a Greek Plays class (perfect fit)
My new semester is starting in 3 weeks. This was much needed!
Loved this video Leonie :) I can definitely relate to dark academia helping me study - but I appreciate your honesty and keeping it real not a constant 'aesthetic' just like you said... hope you continue to make Dark Academia diaries, thank you!
The avocado umbrella 🥑☂️ 👍
i love this first episode of the dark academia diaries, hope you continue the series 💙✨
Love this video! The museum, reorganizing… the aesthetic! 10/10

I loveee your videos, they always make me feel so calm and inspired. Thank you so much for your work!

This dark academia diaries is exactly what I've been looking for! And for it to be with one of my fav booktubers is absolutely amazing!

I love the idea of the series and can’t wait to see more episodes :)
This was such a fun vlog to watch! I would love to see more of this as a series! And I really appreciate you being honest and mentioning how every little thing you do, doesn’t have to fit an aesthetic, that was really nice to hear :)
So excited for this series!
My semester just started and this was absolutely amazing and inspiring
Hey I'm just going to say this I love the fact that you are making a whole series of dark academia and how you are working with the aesthetic and making it work for you
Love the dark academia aesthetic, I think it’s so cosy! 🍂 📚
Leonie giving us therapeutic vlog.... It's so wholesome and relaxing 😌♥️♥️
This video gives me "rainy October Saturday" vibes. So cozy and calming. Context: I live in a Mediterranean country and summer here is H O T
Yeah well this sums up the Dutch summer haha 🥲
the best moment of the week🤩🤩
The first scenes gave me hardcore twilight vibes, i loved it! Also love your aesthetics overall, you're my favourite Booktuber!
Bookshelf organization is one of the most satisfying things to watch😌
Yes! Super excited for this one. I wanted to know what you thought and felt when you visited the museum!

I love this series already!! Can't wait for more episodes :)))
Ah, reorganizing! I do that from time to time as well with my collection of books and blu-ray/dvds and other stuff. Good idea taking oneself on a date to a museum. I usually do not do this either but I may actually do that. Lots of great museums to visit in Leiden!
Cerave is amazing!!!! My cleansers and moisturizers are all from Cerave and then I use serums and exfoliants from The Ordinary, they’re so good!
all these videos damn you are spoiling us🥰🥰
I love your videos + dark academia so I am happy about this :)
This museum was so lovely 🥲
Yaaayyy! New video! ❤
Love anything you do Leoniiii❤️❤️❤️
Love this new series😍
I need to go to more museums again too... I also have a museumjaarkaart and now that things are getting a bit better I should use it more again. I just always forget to make time.. thanks for the reminder!
this was so cozy and fun!!
this felt so asmr i loved it
It's like 11 pm in my country right now BUTTT my favourite booktuber posted a new video so sleep can wait!
One of your best videos yet, love the cosy aesthetics and the editing 😍😍 can't wait for the rest of the series
(ps waar heb je je leuke gekleurde lamp(jes) vandaan op het einde? love it het ziet er zo gezellig uit, ik wil er ook een haha 😍)
That museum footage was awesome. I'll be both reorganizing my own bookshelves and cataloging them all into an app. I can't wait to learn how many books I actually own! This was a great video. Keep them coming!
that sounds nice.
Yes more of these!
I loved this video!!!! Loved the vibe!!
I loved the organisation bit of the video and I really like your accent!!
Yes please all of the dark academia!
Love the title - dark academia diaries! ♡ honestly..
This is so cute! Your vids make me want to move to the Netherlands😍 also I have the same green mushroom sweater as you, I love it!❤️❤️
i LOVE this idea!
this vlog was simply all the ~vibes~
i love your videos so much!
That sound editing at 8:54 is so ON POINT
i love this!!
Love this video series idea!
I don't know why, but this was both refreshing and relaxing. I don't know if this type of video should be regular. But, I wouldn't mind one every once in a while.
The avocado umbrella is cute. Just wanted to say that I’m a new subscriber and I enjoy your reading vlogs. It gets me inspired to read for fun myself. I was an English major in college and I think it might have caused me to stop reading for enjoyment. I’m slowly getting back to it though, and I think your channel is helping me with that. 😁
appreciation for the avocado umbrella !
Staring at your newly arranged bookshelf is always a vibe
I love your videos ❤️
omg i wish for the dark academia diaries to come back 😭
Loved! Please make more.
Heel leuk als je meer video's in deze serie gaat maken! :)
the bread asmr though! so cronchyyy ~
haha "after dinner... I got mc'donalds." loved that part xD
Keep doing this kind of video, loads of love from Saudi Arabia 🤍
that was so special
Me : *ahhh her place is so cozy*
Leonie : *"i don't have a bathroom"*
Me: *shocked pikachu face* oh
We want more! We want more! We want more!
Loved this video
Those scenes by the canal are so quintessentially Dutch, but its always nice to see how they are just normal neighbourhoods to someone who lives there. Also Marcus Aurelius was even dealing with haters in his day too? Things haven't changed that much !
Sooo aesthetic 🤤🤤
The intro ☔️☔️😍
Hi, I love watching all your videos. Its so inspiring. I love it so much. Btw, do mind to do a room tour video? Your room seems cozy and aesthetic. It's such a zen. 😊😊😊
I’m still 3 minutes in but I’m loving the sword earrings 😍
