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 :)

This was great, thank you for the recs! "You know who's also a hot girl? the center of the earth" 😂
So technically the Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne is a hot girl summer book recommendation. :)
I read this comment exactly when she said it in the video ahaha😭😭
I never see Circe in this list but she deserves to be there so thank you
had to read the bloody chamber by angela carter for uni last month, the short stories are set in a winter-y scenario but i really think it fits for hot girl summer!
oh nice, i've been looking for more short stories so i'll check out angela carter!
the vegetarian by han kang! super interesting (and short! around 200 pages) story about mental health, going against the grain, ethics and art and taking advantage of the vulnerable... despite how short the book itself was, the actual reading experience was beautifully long for me because it gave me so much to think about!!

Ooh amazing recommendations Leonie! Thank you for the good books and even better vibes! 😍
My hot girl summer recommendations: Plain Bad Heroines by Emily M Danforth, the Flat Share by Beth O’Leary, Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, What we’re told not to talk about by Nimko Ali, The Unexpected Everything by Morgan Matson!
yess plain bad heroines is so good!!
Binge watching so many of your old videos and really enjoying them 🎉
Loved this video! I've actually read the majority of these books already but I ordered The fifth season on the weekend and hopefully can get to it soon!
Love The Existentialist Cafe. And you remind me I must finished reading the Brown Trilogy. Thanks for the video.
It is always great to see your light-hearted videos !
I should be sleeping at 1am but for Leo I’m happily making an exception ✨⚡️🌔
I'm watching this at 5 am 😅
I am watching at 3:11, nobody asked but i wanted to join 😂
I’m watching this a 10:21 at night
im SO happy bunny made the list! i think about that book constantly
The hot girl summer autor never mentioned: Carmen María Machado (Her body and other partys is god tier unhinged woman).
Also, romance recomendación: Delilah Green doesn't care (Thalia Hibbert but make it gay)
Delilah green is one of my favorites I’ve read this year!!!
@@rosegardenmadisonsquare same! Is sooo good
Just ordered Circe & The Fifth Season because of this video, can’t wait to read them! Thanks for the recommendations ☺️
Oh & Bunny! I also ordered that book because I got really curious after seeing you loving it so much
Circe is excellent! I loooved it when I first read it like 3 years ago and I want to read it again. I haven’t read Bunny yet but it’s on my list too 🐇
So happy to watch another video of yours!! You’re funny, relatable and just so chill and cool to listen to. Also, love that hot girl summer is just this Vibe of complex, smart and sad female characters lol
I related so hard the way you talked about The Fifth Season
This video was so funny 😂😂 Loved all your jokes!
I got very happy seeing Circe here, it’s one of my favorites and definitely a Hot Girl Summer Book. The book about existentialists sounded super interesting as well, I will be looking out for it~
Since you are interested in the villianess genre I recommend Your Throne and Beware the Villianess. Both are amazing
Apricot cocktails? Sound delish!
Your video was my favorite part of the day😭❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos so much, I like your way of expressing yourself and your thoughts 😂👏 I’m always laughing and your recommendations are on point.
I just picked up Girl, Woman, Other at my local used bookstore, can't wait to read it!!
Im from Australia and missing summer so this was perfect, your videos always make my day😁
I'm definitely reading The Broken Earth trilogy this summer. I've just reread The Starless Sea and looove it so much, highly recommend booklovers! A lovely classic summer read is I Capture the Castle that I read last summer...No idea if it's "a hot girl read" haha but it is lovely!
I read A Certain Hunger because you recommended it and it was seriously one of the best books I've read in a long time. 10/10 recommend!!
im reading bunny at the moment because of how much you seem to love it!! its great so far so thank you
I love your vibe and your humor!
As a manhwa recommendation, I suggest Maybe Meant To Be, for Hot people summer, cause everyone needs it in their lives
Your videos always come out on Monday morning for me. I'm normally at uni or work but today is a public holiday so I get to watch this week's video whilst warm in bed! ( its winter here haha)
Greek?
I have read and I own so many of the books you mentioned so I really trust your other recommendations 😅😊😊
I'm waiting for Trick Mirror to come up on my library loan! So excited.
For some reason I find Greek mythology books very summery so I’d say ‘Circe’ would be a good pick (not because I’m currently reading it obviously🫢). Also ‘call me by your name’ gives very summery vibes (the fact that it all happens in a summer may be the explanation ahahah)
Thank you for these amazing recommendations 😍
I love your earings! Where did you get them?
The Book Leo teaching me how to have a good summer
An amazing philosophical book I would recommend is "Sophie's World". It's non fiction and fiction combined, it's about Sophie who one day gets a letter with the question "Who are you?" and shortly after another with "What is the meaning of life". She gets more and more letters explaining Philosophy, which are really interesting and informative , while in her real life weird things that make no sense start to happen.
you should read The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave !!! It's a great book (feminism, lgbt romance, scandinavia...)
And my TBR grew three sizes that day...
I am neither hot nor a girl so this is mostly for research...and because Leonie is such an enchanting book host! :-)
hot people summer time ✨these books will make us all hot
@@sorbetbugs Ooh then I need all the help I can get!
Your Throne and The Remarried Empress are webtoons w badass female leads you need to check out. Lore Olympus too!
Another fan of The Remarried Empress, the ultimate hot boss girl 🔥
I love your videos!
I didn't know which book to pick up next, and this vid made me reach for The Fifth Season. Here I go 👀
Update: 5 STARS HOLY SHIT
Leonie! Have you read The Unhoneymooners or Beach Read? Those are my faves and are definitely hot girl reads.
As soon as you mentioned “short story”, my mind immediately thought of The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas lol
I completely agree with the term sweaty girl summer. ☀️😰
I don't know if I understand what a hot girl summer book should be like, but the first title that sprang to mind after watching this is Plain Bad Heroines by Emily Danforth.
Do you think you will read the rest of the trilogy to Girls with Sharp Sticks?
Great video!
I like your lamp, it looks like a cashew!
I really want to read "the ones who walk away from omelas"
just read Great Circle and it changed the trajectory of my life
malibu rising is also a hot girl summer book !!
I need to read Bunny so bad ugh
I'm having a cold girl winter here in Australia🥶
happy hour by marlowe granados is the perfect hot girl summer book for me, i think you’ll like it
The fact that I've never heard of villainess manga before is the thing that makes me go dark side
Question: where do you usually check trigger warnings? Most popular reviews on Goodreads don’t include them (like you have to dig deep to find them). I know Storygraph has a little section for this, but sometimes not all the trigger warnings are listed. Thank u in advance!
Leonieeee 😍❣️
finally a hot girl reading video where it's not just white authors and white woman main character books being pushed! like come on, it's term coined by Megan Thee Stallion and yall only have white book girlies in ur list? nah! the vibes of ur videos are so immaculate
Wait you have a twitch account??? What is it called?
When you said short story for the last one and was like "Yellow Wallpaper! Yellow Wallpaper! Yellow Wallpaper!"(because I know you've talked about it and she is unhinged)...and then I was wrong. But hey, you chose one of my favorite short stories of all time so can't be mad about it 🤣
This reminded me that I need to reread the fifth season so I can read the other two in the series without being confused
You should read Madam by Phoebe Wynne
Yesterday was 37C 😨😥☀😥😰😌 in France
I'm currently reading Sabina Murray's "A Carnivore's Inquiry" and it is an excellent pairing with "A Certain Hunger."
“And if you disagree with me you’re a criminal” took me OUT!
I haven't read it, but I've been told that The Idiot by Elif Bauman may be a "hot girl summer" book as well
Do you know, that Girls with sharp sticks is series?
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED :) imma see if I've heard of theseeee
YESSS loveee the webtoon rec - I'm definitely going to check it out! I personally love Purple Hyacinth if you haven't checked it out I recommend :)
The way you explain each book ... the talent, the skill *hot girl summer chief's kiss*
@@JessicaNicoleDickerson ohh thanks for the rec, im gonna check it out :)
I literally inhaled the poppy war trilogy in april! this month I'll be reading some gay books for pride month
Leonie, if you read The Fifth Season in english, maybe try the translation? It would be almost like reading it for the first time - you know the story, but you don't know exactly the way it's told in different language.
If you like the Villainess turns the Hourglass, you might also like This Scum Villain's Self-Saving System. It's Chinese fantasy and currently being published in an official English translation. The main character is a fervent reader of an online novel that ends badly and he's so angry about it that he chokes on his food and dies. His soul gets transported into the novel as the villain. He then has to survive while not appearing ooc (out of character) by sucking up to the person who is going to kill him in the future. It's completely ridiculous and has the most unexpected but somehow logical plot twists.
I read the last title as "the ones who walk away from Omelettes" and was like... what plot is this?
I just read Tehereh Mafi's new book This Woven Kingdom and it was SO good!!
I also recommend Kristin Cashore's Graceling Realm series as they are a fun binge read and the 5th book comes out in November!
Always SO happy to see Leonie pop up with a new video!!😀😀😀
SHUT UP I LOVE THE VILLAINESS TURNS THE HOURGLASS!!! 😭😭😭✨
Okay, I'll admit that I do not quite get what the hot girl summer thing is???? But anyway, it may be worth looking into Follow Me To Ground by Sue Rainsford which is about these healers who are father and daughter who may be human and may not be, caring for a town with strange remedies. The way they look at the world is a little different, and they call people around them cures, and they live maybe not forever but a significantly longer lifespan. It's weird, may be a good book to look at if you enjoyed the vibe of Mexican Gothic (which could be a hot girl book too, I don't think summer necessarily but all the same) and the weirdness of Bunny.
The Villainess turns the Hourglass, Aria isn't really unhinged, it's actually the "good girl" character that's unhinged if we're being critical. Aria is more of an anti-hero. And I agree that the plot is not that heavy but the it's so much fun to read, especially seeing how her step sister reacts when Aria reverses the situation.
random but you look like ki yuri from tale of the nine tailed
☀️
this is probably the fastest I've ever replied to a video. It's still only processed in 360p.
Finally someone recommending manhwas! You’re right it’s not the best plot but it’s good and enjoyable. Also the art is good. Looking forward for more talks about manhwa recommendations!
So early, it’s 360P
Stay hydratated
"All hot girls are sweaty girls"? Ummm excuse me Leonie have you not seen Jade from Victorious??
I'm reading The Ministry For The Future. Nothing like Climate Change for that hot summer vibes.
💚🌻
sometimes were sweet and will bake you a cake sometimes we will bake you into a cake
❤
Shadow by Jenny moss is totally hot girl summer
lucky u live in amsterdam. i live in south Asia and summer is literally jrejjkldfjkldfskjldjklfsljkdsj here 😭
I ecently read My year of rest and relaxation and omg...I didn't like it, which makes me really sad. It had all the things I like : 2000 setting in NYC , art and mental health, etc. But Boi! It was weird , a little too weird
Bunny was a mindf*ck
