The Priory of the Orange Tree is one of the most beautiful book I’ve ever seen. I dont know why its so appealing to me, I think its the style, its incredible. In fact everything this artist does is amazing.
the way you described your experience with 'eleanor oliphant is completely fine' resonated sooo much with me! i was not expecting to even like it let alone CRY over it
Some really great adult romances are: -The flatshare by Beth O'Leary -Well met by Jen De luca -The unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren -You deserve each otherby Sarah Hogle (this one requires some patience) And if you want to try historical romance Tessa dare writes feel good stories that are also really funny!
I have a question, I am 14 (15 in a few days actually) and I heard Radio Silence is about going to college and don't really know what to do with your live or something like that. I have 3 years of school ahead of me and I really wanna read this book at the right time. So would you recommend it for me right now or maybe a few years later when it may be more relateable?
Lilli Feldeborn I actually read it after going to college, but it was still super relatable to me I think you'll enjoy it anyway, specially if you're used to that parents talk that's like "you have to go to college to be successful", God knows how common that is So yeah, I believe you won't miss out if you read it now, and if you enjoy it a lot you can even re-read it when you're closer to going to college :)
If you liked The Hating Game, I‘d really recommend The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. It‘s also an adult hate to love romance and it‘s soooo much fun! And a romance with the MOST beautiful and unique writing I have ever read is Call me by your name by Andre Aciman 🥰
There is so much beauty in someone speaking from their passion, and every breath you take in this videos is full of it! You always make me want to grab a book right after watching you.
don't we all have a series finishing problem though lol ahhh A Deadly Education i am SO EXCITED i remember not loving everything about the Hating Game but it just made me feel so happy that all my memories of it are so positive eagerly waiting to here your thoughts on the poppy war, i think you're going to love it
yeahh it's a booktube epidemic exactly the same feeling about the hating game, my memory of it seems more positive then my reading experience? i'm so excited to read the poppy war!
Loved the international book club idea, if you ever need recommendations for books from/about other countries I'm sure we're from all over the world so feel free to ask! We would love to share some classics or books inspired in our own cultures.
I read Americanah by Chimamanda and you should definitely read it as well, also, I have Radio Silence and it's the next book I'm gonna pick up to read and I'm so excited! Love the video!
adult romance options because you asked and i am a SLUT for romance: before you say i do by clare lydon (to-be-bride hires a professional bridesmaid and falls in love with her), red white and royal blue by casey mcquiston (technically new adult and one you’ve probably heard of but i love it and it deserves a shout out) my favorite half night stand by christina lauren (friends to lovers), the unhoneymooners by christina lauren (enemies to lovers go on a honeymoon together), get a life chloe brown by talia hibbert (such an odd couple. i love them.), well met by jen deluca (enemies to lovers but at the RENAISSANCE FAIRE)
I have to pause the video. I was not prepared for graphs. I love graphs & I love you too. Sorry to interrupt, please continue. Excellent! My favorite 5 star book so far this year is Almayer Station by Sean Danker - it's book 4 in a series (i have no fear 😂) I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Worst, would another sci-fi, Velocity Weapon: it has a lot of good press, & was nominated for a Philip K Dick Award, but it was not for me - 2 stars
I'm sure you've got a huge list already for the world readers but some fantasy books not set in the UK or US are; Spin the Dawn duology, Woven in Moonlight, Wicked Fox, Daughters of Nri, City of Brass trilogy and A Song of Wraiths & Ruin ☺️
Oooh yes I love the characters in the darker shades of magic series and the daisy jones series!! Definitely some all- time faves for me🤩 omg I NEED to read the Picture of Dorian Gray, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!
I recently read Dorian gray and loved it. Totally was surprised. And Invisible life and deadly education is also on my list of most anticipated release
Oh man, I'd love to do that book club especially because it's bimonthly, as I'm already involved in a couple monthly book clubs. But I am very anti-twitter, I don't suppose you'll also have updates on Instagram?
okay yes- i just read radio silence a few days ago. i was so enthralled i finished it in one sitting and it’s just !!so good!! also, just a suggestion for the book club. i read We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal a few months ago and i loved it! it’s a fantasy set in a world inspired by the ancient middle east
Heading to Twitter to nominate Mexican Gothic for the bookclub. It's set in 1950s Mexico, and in my head so far it is a combination between a novel by Angeles Mastretta, who writes Mexican women and Mexican culture beautifully, and Get Out. So. Yes! Plus the old antiquated people in the story remind me of my grandma and her (outdated) way of thinking.
If you like dark academia, you should read The Secret History if you haven’t read it already. I wasn’t aware that The Ninth House was dark academia and now I’m invested. Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine was one of my favourite books from last year! xx
When you said you don't really have fictional crush.. I relate so much.. for me probably because I've seen their flaws throughout the story and I be like "nah, it's fine, but gonna ship you with other tho" Also currently reading IT by stephen king and couldn't believe it took me so long to pick it up cause it's really captivating and the characters.. oh my god amazing.. their past did make me tear up a lil bit tho
I absolutely loved Radio Silence as well :3, if you really like it I would also recommend Solitaire, I think it might have been Alice Oseman’s debut novel? It has similar vibes to Radio Silence but it also has a lot of other unique themes to it that don’t get explored in as much depth as in Radio Silence :)).
I have a completely opposite problem, I just couldn't allow myself to leave a series undone before I start a new one lol. For some reason I feel guilty for not being able to finish something before I start something new. As to a fantasy series that is inspired by another country, I would very much recommend The Wheel of Time series which is heavily inspired by Eastern culture. However, reading that series is a big commitment tho, since it's 14-book long or 15 if you count the one prequel book.
First off, your whole look is en pointe ;) Second, I love the idea of tracking your reading stats! Have you thought about putting them into a spreadsheets program?
I really really loved The Gilded Wolves! I read it because you liked it, and I'm also super excited for the sequel. There's a readathon on Insta (I think the tag is #thegildedwolvesreadathon) so you can reread with a group!
You should consider "Girls of Paper and Fire" by Natasha Ngan for your book club, it's inspired by Asian culture, has LGBTQ+ themes, and is great fantasy!
You've read more than 2 sequels though, I know you read the truly devious series (so that's 2 sequels) plus A conjuring of light So that's at least 3 sequels :)
I love that you’ve been doing longer videos lately because I could listen to you for hours! Something about your voice is so soothing
ah that makes me happy to hear!
A tip: watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Keenan Miles yup, have been watching on Flixzone} for since december myself :)
The Priory of the Orange Tree is one of the most beautiful book I’ve ever seen. I dont know why its so appealing to me, I think its the style, its incredible. In fact everything this artist does is amazing.
I was about to comment the exact same thing ! The most beautiful book in my bookshelf *-*
That's so sweet of Leigh Bardugo to write a whole book just for you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the way you described your experience with 'eleanor oliphant is completely fine' resonated sooo much with me! i was not expecting to even like it let alone CRY over it
such a good book!
Some really great adult romances are:
-The flatshare by Beth O'Leary
-Well met by Jen De luca
-The unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren
-You deserve each otherby Sarah Hogle (this one requires some patience)
And if you want to try historical romance Tessa dare writes feel good stories that are also really funny!
the picture of dorian gray is so good!! it's one of my fav books and it's also my fav classic! basil deserved better... :'))
omg basil yes
Oh he definitely did
SO excited about our book club 🧡🧡🧡 also, I'm so happy you're loving Radio Silence. It's my favorite book of 2020 until so far!!
it's really up there in my favourites as well!
Ooh I can’t wait for Naomi Novik’s newest one either! There was a sample that was released when the book was announced and I’m already hooked
Just read Radio Silence this year and it's so damn good, every teenager should read it
Sameeee. Just finished it yesterday and it’s so good.
I have a question, I am 14 (15 in a few days actually) and I heard Radio Silence is about going to college and don't really know what to do with your live or something like that. I have 3 years of school ahead of me and I really wanna read this book at the right time. So would you recommend it for me right now or maybe a few years later when it may be more relateable?
Lilli Feldeborn I actually read it after going to college, but it was still super relatable to me
I think you'll enjoy it anyway, specially if you're used to that parents talk that's like "you have to go to college to be successful", God knows how common that is
So yeah, I believe you won't miss out if you read it now, and if you enjoy it a lot you can even re-read it when you're closer to going to college :)
@@marianadias6769 that's a great idea, thank you! :)
This book channel totally rocks.
If you liked The Hating Game, I‘d really recommend The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren. It‘s also an adult hate to love romance and it‘s soooo much fun! And a romance with the MOST beautiful and unique writing I have ever read is Call me by your name by Andre Aciman 🥰
I was growing tired of this tag, but this is a great video😁 Also yay book club!!!
My favourite book of the year so far has been Circe!! It just affected me so much and I wasn't even prepared for it!
I'm not even that much interested in books but I watch you're video's cause you're such a lovely person! Great listening to you 😁
There is so much beauty in someone speaking from their passion, and every breath you take in this videos is full of it!
You always make me want to grab a book right after watching you.
I’ve heard mixed reviews but I think your seal of approval has convinced me to go and buy Ninth House - it sounds exactly like something I’d love
I love your makeup in this video!
I'm so excited for your book club. I'm currently reading the Poppy War and I love it!!
don't we all have a series finishing problem though lol
ahhh A Deadly Education i am SO EXCITED
i remember not loving everything about the Hating Game but it just made me feel so happy that all my memories of it are so positive
eagerly waiting to here your thoughts on the poppy war, i think you're going to love it
yeahh it's a booktube epidemic
exactly the same feeling about the hating game, my memory of it seems more positive then my reading experience?
i'm so excited to read the poppy war!
yesss Dorian Gray!! it made me feel everything ahh it's amazing
so many feels!
I'm literally just so excited for Midnight Sun 😂
my favourite cover is The Priory of the Orange Tree one I think !
Loved the international book club idea, if you ever need recommendations for books from/about other countries I'm sure we're from all over the world so feel free to ask! We would love to share some classics or books inspired in our own cultures.

I completely agree with the crush thing! Like I love the character but I want them to be with another character not me haha
I'm sure you've got a huge list already for the world readers but some fantasy books not set in the UK or US are; Spin the Dawn duology, Woven in Moonlight, Wicked Fox, Daughters of Nri, City of Brass trilogy and A Song of Wraiths & Ruin ☺️
ohh thanks for the recs, we're always looking for more!
I just finished Ninth House and really loved it as well!
ahh that's so great!
Oooh yes I love the characters in the darker shades of magic series and the daisy jones series!! Definitely some all- time faves for me🤩 omg I NEED to read the Picture of Dorian Gray, I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it!!
Found this channel from your interview/discussion with Daniel. Gotta say, I'm very glad I did. Love your videos! Keep up the great work!
I have been subscribed to Daniel for a while now, and I found this channel just before the interview, so I was very exited
I recently read Dorian gray and loved it. Totally was surprised.
And Invisible life and deadly education is also on my list of most anticipated release
omg hahaha same about the sequels - i have read 30 books so far & only 2 sequels too LOL
The Flatshare is a really cute adult romance!!!! It deals with some difficult topics as well, which makes it even more interesting!
ohhh thanks!
Yesss Ninth House!!
Oh man, I'd love to do that book club especially because it's bimonthly, as I'm already involved in a couple monthly book clubs. But I am very anti-twitter, I don't suppose you'll also have updates on Instagram?
for a romance, Get a Life Chloe Brown was so so good! It was fun and light but fluffy and sexy. Such a fun summer read
I cant waut to read the Poppy War with you guys! It's definitely one of my most anticipated reads!
the silvered serpents is available for 'read now' on netgalley!!! grab it while you can
I still need to read The Shades of Magic series 🥺
These videos have been crucial to me realizing that I will never read Leigh Bardugo
okay yes- i just read radio silence a few days ago. i was so enthralled i finished it in one sitting and it’s just !!so good!!
also, just a suggestion for the book club. i read We Hunt the Flame by Hafsah Faizal a few months ago and i loved it! it’s a fantasy set in a world inspired by the ancient middle east

Can you also give updates on the new book club in upcoming videos? Don’t have Twitter, but I’d love to watch the book discussion!
Wow. You have much more self control than me to have only bought 13 books so far this year.
If you like dark academia, you should read The Secret History if you haven’t read it already. I wasn’t aware that The Ninth House was dark academia and now I’m invested. Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine was one of my favourite books from last year! xx
yay a new video! i recently discovered your channel and i absolutely l o v e it 🤍
When you said you don't really have fictional crush.. I relate so much.. for me probably because I've seen their flaws throughout the story and I be like "nah, it's fine, but gonna ship you with other tho"
Also currently reading IT by stephen king and couldn't believe it took me so long to pick it up cause it's really captivating and the characters.. oh my god amazing.. their past did make me tear up a lil bit tho
Great video! Radio Silence was amazing. Are you participating in the reading rush?
i'm in a bit of a reading slump haha so i don't think i can really read a lot for the reading rush
You look so pretty!
Leonie! Try StoryGraph. The stats are just 😚👌🏼
ohhhh that's a good way to convince me
If you want to read more fluffy fun romance books I would recommend The unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren!😁 I laughed my way through this book!
I loved the Poppy War so I hope you like it as well. Though it is intense so I hope that doesn’t put you off too much.
I absolutely loved Radio Silence as well :3, if you really like it I would also recommend Solitaire, I think it might have been Alice Oseman’s debut novel? It has similar vibes to Radio Silence but it also has a lot of other unique themes to it that don’t get explored in as much depth as in Radio Silence :)).
great video love them so much and will join ur bookclub
Highly recommend Take a hint Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
DARLINGTON FROM NINTH HOUSE 😍😍

I really relate to not having fictional crushes because you just ship the characters together 😂
I've heard that Get a life, Chloe Brown is a good adult romance
First off, your whole look is en pointe ;) Second, I love the idea of tracking your reading stats! Have you thought about putting them into a spreadsheets program?
thank you! I prefer doing it on paper ^-^
Have you done a video sharing your paper spreads? I’d love to see all the ways you track your reading! I also like to use paper/notebooks!
I really really loved The Gilded Wolves! I read it because you liked it, and I'm also super excited for the sequel. There's a readathon on Insta (I think the tag is #thegildedwolvesreadathon) so you can reread with a group!
Blue eyes
Hi Leonie! Your voice is lovely. I think you should start a podcast
wow
FRANCES JANVIER IS A GREAT CHARACTER
YAS MY FAVE
You should consider "Girls of Paper and Fire" by Natasha Ngan for your book club, it's inspired by Asian culture, has LGBTQ+ themes, and is great fantasy!
Hope you enjoy Thinking Fast and Slow! I loved it. But keep in mind, the smarter people are, the worse the confirmation bias is. lol
i already read it and enjoyed it!
I really want you to start reading The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie.
i reaaally want to read that one as well!
@@TheBookLeo Then do it already! :)
I guess i don't understand the word cuz i'm not native. What does "freakout" mean?
It means getting super, over the top excited about something (with a little bit of panic/stress in this case). Think "OMG"
Anyone know what brand journal that is?
Will you be making an instagram for the book club?
Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was one of my fave books I read in high school. Still the only thing I read by her tho
You cannot be so perfect. ;)
Sadly Addie laRue got postponed :(
So far this year my favorite book is Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari :D
I just uploaded a similar video
Yours is great.
The shadows between us was awfully cheesy for me. I had to DNF it
Yes, thank you!
I've had Adichie's Americanah on my tbr for a while.
You are so beautiful
You've read more than 2 sequels though, I know you read the truly devious series (so that's 2 sequels) plus A conjuring of light
So that's at least 3 sequels :)
