I was in a reading slump for the last five or six years. But last month I discovered your channel and other booktubers and now I'm reading again incl. a reading journal. Just like that... I already read over ten books in April and just finished the last book from the Peter Grant Series (crime- fantasy in London 🥰) and I realised how much I love and missed books. Thank you so much for "reminding" me 😁
I pulled myself out of a 3.5 year reading slump after discovering booktube. Covid helped too though,bc I needed an escape, but booktube was the initial catalyst
ive been in a reading slump for almost as long, and i guess i'm having a very similar experience. i've started reading again after discovering so many wonderful booktubers, i really hope i get back to reading like you have :'))
I couldn't do 50 pages in the beginning, so I just did a one page rule. I obviously ended up reading more than one page a day, but it's easier to make yourself grab a book if you take the pressure off. Sounds silly but it works hshs love this video and Howl's moving castle!
i think my absolute favorite neil gaiman audiobook is 100% norse mythology. it feels like he's telling you a story around a campfire or telling you a story to help you fall asleep.
ig alot of us started the year in a reading slump lol...and saame...i thought i was forcing myself to read at first, but then eventually, the urge to read came naturally to me heh :)
Hard to find a favourite Gaiman. I discount Omens as he was flying alongside Sir Terry the creator of worlds and the master of Narrativium. [Thats not to discount Neil's contribution] For me, It's a toss-up between The Ocean at the End of the Lane which is spine chilling whatever age one reads it and The Graveyard Book; discovering which famous children's book inspired Graveyard will astound you and illustrates Gaiman's brilliance as an author.
I honestly really appreciate you showing how you schedule out your day, I'm about to start an internship for my grad program and I struggle so much to manage my time. Seeing how other people manage it helps a lot so thank you!!
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is my favorite Neil Gaiman, I very much recommend. Also his short story collections are great for listening on audiobook!
I would reccomend the ocean at the end of the lane by neil Gaiman, especially if you can get your hands on the indie bookstore edition, those illustrations are AMAZING.
this video really came literally at the perfect time! i've also been in a reading slump these past few months, but last week i managed to finish a book for the first time in a while and it really made me feel good and got me excited about books once again :) also i loved this video, everything about it made me feel comfy
For Neil Gaiman books, I would really recommend 'The Graveyard Book' and 'The ocean at the end of the lane'. I found them to be both really entertaining and an easy fun read!
This vlog was so super relaxing to watch! Really like your attitude and humour, too. And also seeing you reading up to fifty pages a day is just so NORMAL, this is also really nice to see. I don't like many booktubers running through their books just to get through them fast no matter what. Greetings from Germany :D
I was surprised usually these booktubers are at about 500 pages a day or something crazy. I used to do 200 a day but fell out of it and im on 100 but thats still significantly more than what most people read so im not bothered
@@haewonniecakeshopreal5345 brian durfee reads about that much, while working full time! he's a madman. He reads something like 100 pages in half an hour.
Your reading vlogs are the ones I enjoy most of all on booktube! They never feel boring imo. Reading 50 pages a day is something I'm going to try to put as a goal for myself as well, give or take a few pages! I discovered audiobooks in the beginning of the year and I love them, but I don't want to neglect my physical reads so that might be a realistic goal to set for myself.
I've been in love with Stardew Valley recently and it's the perfect time for me to listen to audiobooks! I always get several hours in and it's the perfect since I no longer have any long commutes to listen during.
Hello Leonie! I have discovered your channel recently and I just love it. You are speaking truthfully about your hobbys and your life and I really appreciate this sincerity. What a pleasure to hear you saying that you are a slow reader too! Your aim is not performance or efficiency but just the simple pleasure of reading. See you soon :)
Setting a goal to read a certain number of pages per day is so simple, but it's a great idea! I've been listening to a lot of audio books, and that started when I had eye surgery. Now that I'm better, I'm still not reading ebooks, physical books, etc. So I'm gonna try to do that for sure!
I have watching a lot of booktube lately because of lockdown and all and geez your channel is peculiar and fun I mean I have binged watch 5-6 videos of your channel ❤️ glad to find your channel.
I have a reading slamp, since February -.-. I only finished one book in March, too. I really enjoyed the book, but I had to force myself to read. Maybe I should challenge myself too to read 50 pages a day. To become used to and loving reading again =). Maybe I should try... It's nice to see you enjoying reading again
Im so happy that I partly changed my screen time for a book time! I feel like although it's a rest, it's still very well spent time, not just scrolling for x time
I get what you mean when you say it is weird to read at night. For me it is at the end of my day and it just feels weird to do something when the day is over for me. And also, when my brain is active I can't sleep so reading may be a bad idea depending on the book. I personally enjoy reading in the morning in the most because I am up at the crack of dawn and no one else is up and it is the most peaceful and relaxing thing and it only gets better with a cup of tea and a book.
if u want something different, norse mythology by neil gaiman is a collection of myths from said mythology, and just an absolute delight to read !! + the audiobook is absolutely splendid !!
Coraline is one of my fav books ever, and I've also read and loved Stardust and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Gaiman. I really really love his work, and I recommend all of the 3 I mentioned, specially Coraline!
Loved this! And I just noticed that there's exactly 7 days left to the end of the month, so it feels like perfect timing for me to try this 50 page challenge too.
I've been in a reading slump since August 20th 2019. I remember because that was the day after I moved to a different state in the US. I try to read because I really do love reading. But video games and TH-cam has been my main source of entertainment since then. I started a book in October 2020 and just today finished it. It's actually the first book I've finished in 2021. idk how to reignite that passion for books again! ):
I loved "Coraline" and also "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman but tbh I love every book written by him, so take that as you will :) Also your bookmarks arrived and I'm in love with them!
I have not read Neverwhere, or honestly much of Neal Gaiman, but you have to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane if you haven't already. That was an amazing book.
I loved The ocean at the end of the lane by Neil Gaiman. I also read Neverwhere and didn't enjoy it as much. The ocean at the end of the lane felt really magical to me (or at least, that is the part that I remember because then, I gifted the book to a friend who read it while staying at my place and said that it was a bit creepy, especially in the beginnen. And even with this reminder, I can barely remember this part...)
If you like Neil Gaiman’s writing style, you should definitely check out Stardust! It’s got fairytale-esque vibes while being very quirky and unique ✨ and I’d also recommend The Graveyard Book, it’s so heartwarming and intriguing, if you haven’t heard of it - it’s about a boy who is raised by ghosts ☺️
My favorite of Neil Gaiman is his Comic book series Sandman. So dark and so fantastic!!! Also 50 pages seem like a really good number. I might try it...
I read 50 pages everyday, per book, currently I read 50 pages in 2 books a day and it keeps my motivation up🤩 it only takes about an hour from my day and eventually I read through my books, slowly but surely
For ta last two weeks I also started to read 50 pages a day cz I am a very slow reader also it’s been years since I haven’t took some time for reading. Surprisingly, it actually works. This year, at first it took me to read a book for 2 months, but now I can finish a book in 10 days. And I'm very happy with my progress 😁. In future I want to read a book in a day
Diana Wynne-Jones is actually a phenomenal writer! If you can, I recommend you check out her book Charmed Life. It's a YA-ish (I guess?) fantasy novel with no romance, and no cliche tropes like the NLOG one, or the characters being described as way too attractive. It's really a nice read!
"It is easier to watch tik tok than to pick up a book" - this really scarily true.
when i read a book i come away satisfied. I rarely feel satisfied after being on ticktok for about 5 minutes just angry..
i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Dean Cruz I use Flixzone. You can find it by googling :)
@Ishaan Skyler yup, been watching on flixzone for since march myself =)
@Ishaan Skyler Thank you, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I appreciate it !!
Leonie: this vlog is so boring just like my life

@@TheBookLeo I hope so, too. But right now nothing motivates me more than watching reading vlogs and how other people read and enjoy books 🙈

I didn’t read in a long time but this is going to be day 1. I’m going to read “Another little piece” by Kate karyus Quinn
yay good luck!
@@mathildesteinmeier9504 thank you
@@ananda03 how is it going?
@@3352-pedro-the-racoon it was good
this video is comfy
I’ve been a slump for 13yrs. Challenging my self to read Shadow & Bone before the showing at Netflix makes me fall in love in reading again.
Yay! I hope it goes well :)
I don’t usually comment on videos, but I felt the need to tell you how great this video was. Keep up the good work!
i think my absolute favorite neil gaiman audiobook is 100% norse mythology. it feels like he's telling you a story around a campfire or telling you a story to help you fall asleep.

That time lapse of you reading and the changing colours in the room because of the lighting... absolutely stunning
Good Omens is literally everybody's favourite Neil Gaiman book! You should definitely check it out.
I like good omens okay, but I luv the show!!
I'm actually reading this at the moment. ^^
Yess Good Omens is one of my favorite tv shows, i hope i will be able to read the book soon!

I also set reading goals for myself because otherwise I forget about it and that would be a pity because I enjoy it so much
This vlog wasn’t boring at all!! It was super cosy and I enjoy it being just realistic / daily life and cosy ❤️❤️ I loved it
The Ocean at the End of the Lane is my favorite Neil Gaiman, I very much recommend. Also his short story collections are great for listening on audiobook!

I’m almost done with the house in the cerulean sea and I LOVED IT! Highly recommend!

Your pronunciation of the word 'castle' is so cute and I live for the cozy vibes this video is giving off!!
I feel like every reading vlog just gets better and better
Your videos are the reason I got back into reading.
And they're also relaxing :)

Love Neils re telling but for a more comprehensive telling and great prose look up Kevin Crossley Holland
For Gaiman, I really liked Graveyard Book and Coraline. Stardust was also cute 😊
I love the title, makes me so happy for u!!💖
I really love your reading vlogs! All of them are so comfy to watch🌛
Your reading vlogs are amazing and so relaxing!🤍🤍
I haven’t had great experience with Neil Gaiman either, but I love the graveyard book, it’s one of my childhood favourites
Same!!! Read it on a camping trip and almost didn't return it to the library because I wanted to keep it lol
this video is cozy & comfy 🧡
Coraline is one of my fav books ever, and I've also read and loved Stardust and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Gaiman. I really really love his work, and I recommend all of the 3 I mentioned, specially Coraline!

A good Neil Gaimen book is 'The Graveyard Book'. this book is one of my favorites and such a page turner!!!
and I fell in love with your channel ♥
I’m in a reading slump and instead of actually reading I just read the beginning of 4 books
I do that too when I’m in a slump, it’s like I need it to suck me in in the first few pages or nope
When you are that early, you can't interact with the comment section:(
I read "Norse Mythology" by Neil Gaiman. I totally recommend that book, if you enjoy mythology
