Right!? I’m so happy not every is a speed reader I can read faster but I just don’t like it. I feel like I’m rushing I like to enjoy and marinate in what I’m reading.
oh gosh that is such a relief because yesterday i was beating myself up for reading like 50 pages of A Gathering of Shadows. i am just a really slow reader who gets distracted v e r y easily
Hii , a tip from me , what I do with long books like that , just as I did with the song of Ice and fire series , when they give you a list of characters at the end take the time before starting the book to make a large "family tree" or multiple ones for the kingdoms and families involved, and as the story progresses write down the ways that they are related and stuff it's really helpful ... A lot of work but honestly the only way for me to get through the beginning of such books ♥
@@KK-jl8em that's the whole point of my main comment. I don't like reading bunch of stories at the same time, not that I'm not capable of reading them. Don't know why it bothered you so much. I think you might need to read some more books, seems like you can't understand what you read.
I read this book and loved it so much! I actually personally found the pacing really good, there was always new and interesting information given so there wasn’t really any slow parts. Some characters I didn’t care about in the beginning but by the middle I was like omg I love all these characters!!!!
Omg that is so interesting! We had the complete opposite favourite characters/pov's In the beginning of The Priory of the Orange Tree! It's so interesting how different people like different things about books!
Hi. I just started to watch ur channel and it makes me feel good to know there are other people who adore books as much as I do. I am 12 and really want to read "priory of the orange tree" it sounds very interesting.
Keep up your motivation!! I’m almost 16 and the biggest thing I regret is losing my motivation to read and not doing it very much for like a year and a half😔 Thankfully I’m getting back into it though!
Such a lovely vlog! I have The Priory book sitting on my shelf, but I think I will pick it up in the summer time. Glad to hear you are enjoying it 😊 And well done getting so much read 👏
300 pages in 24 hrs, I’d say that’s dedication! 💛 Although I’ve never read a book with mature/older characters before so that may be a factor of the time spent reading besides the writing style.
This was the perfect time for you to pop up in my recommended feed because I’m planning on reading Priory for a readathon in April. This was a fun video, thanks!!
this was awesome! this was my first video of yours and I had such a great time- you have such a calming and quirky presence! I'm glad you're enjoying Priory, it was one of my favorite books I read last year (and I love Sabran and Ead so much too!)
I've been stuck in the middle of priory for about six months now (just too many characters) and you gave me the inspiration to try and keep reading it!
had loads of fun participating in this readathon (even if I didn’t read that much oops)! Hope you do more live-streams with Sabine in the future, I’ll be tuning in again :)
I really liked this book especially the world and character building is probably the best I've read. I do agree that it took me around 150 pages to get into it, but it was worth the wait a slow read but an essential ones.
Very cool video! Loved the intro! I did a 24h readathon a few days ago and it was a struggle, it took my 6 hours to finish the last 200 pages that i had left of a book (i dont read fast at all, but i read faster than 200/6h lol)
Alchemy? Girl , if you haven't read Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss already, please do! That book is amazing and right up your alley based on what your tastes! I highly recommend it.
Priory is definitely a book I want to read but aw man I could never read half of it in a day! Props to you for trying though and getting as far as you did!!! That’s awesome
Oh my! i have never done this, being a part of 24 hours readathon. Seems like this is something I should give it a try to. And Orange of the Priory Tree has been there on my TBR and I have a proof copy, gosh don’t know why I didn’t read it 😱
I love big thick books siting outside reading it when your half way through it and everyone looks at you like it make you feel intelligent as hell, books are like cloths only you don’t wear books.
I neeeeed to upload my vlog asap omg, loved this vlog Leonie & loved hosting this read-athon together with you ❤️ can’t wait to host something together with you in the (near) future 🥰
hey there! Not a lot of anatomy or alchemy but in The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson, one of our main character, the one we actually see most of our main characters, was training to become a surgeon but ended up in the army! We do have a bunch of scenes that focus on the surgeon aspect! It is 1007 pages tho! I do recommend it! (Actually picked it up after Priory of the Orange tree!) - also loved your vlog!
Ik heb jouw channel net ontdekt en ik wilde even zeggen dat ik het echt geweldig vind. Bedankt om jouw passie voor boeken te delen! Groetjes uit België 😘
I am so glad you said at the beginning your aim was to read half of Priory because I saw this thumbnail and was about to flip a table if you managed to read the entire thing in 24 HOURS ahahaha. It's one of my faves but nope, I cannot This was such a fab vlog!!
The Montegue siblings' books by Mackenzi Lee have a female character that is interested in alchemy and is mainly about late 1700 alchemy/medicine mixed with pirates and sarcasm. The books are on Storytel and the Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is one of the funniest audiobooks I've listened to, great to listen to while doing chores/biking etc!
Any time I've done a 24 hour readathon it's never been on purpose so I honestly admire anyone who is able to keep it up for that long, especially with a physical book. I know I can't be the only one that feels guilty for just sitting down and reading when I know I could probably be doing "better" things with my time?
I love the yellow aesthetic of this vlog and your editing style! And I definitely feel you on the slow reading pace of Priory. I got two chapters in and set it aside for now because it was such a dense read. I need to pick it back up again. I really want to read it but it's definitely an intimidating book. Have you finished it yet? Did you like it overall?
Heuj Leiden (: Ik herkende het direct toen ik Molen de Valk zag in de preview, haha. Ik denk er ook aan om The priory of the orange tree op te pakken maar het is nogal intimiderend tbh
Your videos always make me miss my year in the Netherlands (Maastricht), which is weird bc you're like... mostly at home. Still, it feels cozy and I like it, lol.
My sister lives in the Netherlands and for Christmas in 2018 she got me some of the Tony Chocolonely bars and they are honestly AMAZING! It's sad you guys don't get Cadburys and things over there though.
One one hand I'm glad I got this as an e-book and didn't realize it had a glossary and everything because that meant I just kept on pushing forward through the first 200 pages and just accepted being confused, but I really wish I could know what my experience would have been if I had read abt the characters when getting to know them or when they reappeared and I had no idea who they were haha
Hello Leonie! Such a pretty name.🌻 I am Madhubarshi from Kolkata, India. I had this in TBR list, too. Also, just wanna say, what camera do you use to shoot your videos? They come out real nice. ❤️ I love your content and your chirpy nature even. 💕🌸

“imagine reading a fantasy story where the love interest is named bob” is my new favorite thing
hahahahah imagine though
Emma’s Really Bad Reading Vlogs i need it in my life ._.
@@TheBookLeo are you a little German? it's cute
Wasn't there a love interest named Bob in Stranger Things? I liked him 😂
@@suus-arido393 justice for Bob!
matching your outfit to your book is a power move
my subconciousness knew what I wanted
I finally found someone who reads on my speed 🌚📖
mela husar same, I don’t get how people read so fast😬
Right!? I’m so happy not every is a speed reader I can read faster but I just don’t like it. I feel like I’m rushing I like to enjoy and marinate in what I’m reading.
oh gosh that is such a relief because yesterday i was beating myself up for reading like 50 pages of A Gathering of Shadows. i am just a really slow reader who gets distracted v e r y easily
i used to be able to read so fast and now i read so slowly it’s almost painful lol
I need like 3h to read 100 pages 😅✌🏽
“ she is kinda interesting, but I don’t really care.” 😂😂😂😂

I feel like I'm the only person who can't read 2 books at the same time. I want to experience 1 story at a time 🤷🏻♀️
Phoenix Honestly it’s better to read one book at a time. you enjoy the book more and better 📖
Same
same here

hahaha yeah i didn;t know what else to call it

Good for u. I hope u reinforce ur love for reading. 😁
STRANGE THE DREAMER! If you love alchemy and a magical story, and the duolgy is amazing! Love your style and editing of your videos!!
Such a lovely vlog! I have The Priory book sitting on my shelf, but I think I will pick it up in the summer time. Glad to hear you are enjoying it 😊 And well done getting so much read 👏
It's a really great summer read i think!
Your lifes aesthetic gives me motivation thank you
I was in the 24 hour reading party, and in both liveshow, and it was very fun, and made me finish a book :D.
that's so great to hear :D
300 pages in 24 hrs, I’d say that’s dedication! 💛
Although I’ve never read a book with mature/older characters before so that may be a factor of the time spent reading besides the writing style.
you honestly have the best vibes!! this was so enjoyable to watch 💛💛💛

Sabran and Ead
I've been stuck in the middle of priory for about six months now (just too many characters) and you gave me the inspiration to try and keep reading it!
Your so sweet and it would probably take me about a year to read what you read so well done to you
"chocolate with pretzel and tofu" I literally didn't even see anything wrong with that I was like "oh cool"
I think she said toffee instead of tofu
had loads of fun participating in this readathon (even if I didn’t read that much oops)! Hope you do more live-streams with Sabine in the future, I’ll be tuning in again :)
I'm so happy you had fun!
😄❤️
ok ok ok, your editing is so cute ahhhh
Thanks!!
I just bought the picture of Dorian Gray , so I'll try to read it in 24 hours
oehhh good luck!

I just finished the Truly Devious series and it was amazing!!! I read the 3rd book in two days because it couldn't put it down!!
I'm on 100 page of "Zakon drzewa pomaranczy" (Priory in polish) and I'm soo excited about this book 🙈💛 Amazing video
This was really inspiring! Made me want to plough through a big fantasy book haha I’m looking forward to bingeing all your videos now 😍🌷
Ik ben dat boek nu ook aan het lezen! Persoonlijk laat die glossary lekker staan. Als een persoon belangrijk is leer je ze vanzelf kennen
Alchemy? Girl , if you haven't read Name of the wind by Patrick Rothfuss already, please do! That book is amazing and right up your alley based on what your tastes! I highly recommend it.

Hele leuke video Leonie! Vind het altijd zo tof als ik een nieuwe Nederlandse booktuber ontdek!
I love your top that fits the book perfectly 😍😵
Ik heb jouw channel net ontdekt en ik wilde even zeggen dat ik het echt geweldig vind. Bedankt om jouw passie voor boeken te delen! Groetjes uit België 😘
I laughed so hard when you said "he's 64", I don't why I found that so funny
I love your explanation.
This is so lovely!!! I aspire to have this energy!!!
this is lovely to watch📚💛
I am so endeared. This was such a lovely video!!! I am subscribed!!!!
I am so glad you said at the beginning your aim was to read half of Priory because I saw this thumbnail and was about to flip a table if you managed to read the entire thing in 24 HOURS ahahaha. It's one of my faves but nope, I cannot
This was such a fab vlog!!
I don't think I would ever be able to read 800 pages in 24 hours hahaha
This is on my TBR for past 3 months and I even have audible and still haven’t started 😅
the wayward children series has old sciency stuff :)
The Montegue siblings' books by Mackenzi Lee have a female character that is interested in alchemy and is mainly about late 1700 alchemy/medicine mixed with pirates and sarcasm. The books are on Storytel and the Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue is one of the funniest audiobooks I've listened to, great to listen to while doing chores/biking etc!
that books sounds so cool, it's on my tbr!
"pretzel tofu chocolate" hahaha I LOLed
Toffee
would be the weirdest flavour
Any time I've done a 24 hour readathon it's never been on purpose so I honestly admire anyone who is able to keep it up for that long, especially with a physical book. I know I can't be the only one that feels guilty for just sitting down and reading when I know I could probably be doing "better" things with my time?
yeah I can imagine! but i also feel very productive when I read!
I have that book! Haven't read it yet though......😂
I love the yellow aesthetic of this vlog and your editing style! And I definitely feel you on the slow reading pace of Priory. I got two chapters in and set it aside for now because it was such a dense read. I need to pick it back up again. I really want to read it but it's definitely an intimidating book.

haven't picked it up since this readathon oops
😂
I enjoyed participating so much!!!
yup maybe overestimated my abilities haha. It's really good so far though!
I immediately knew u were dutch the moment u started talking hehe.. fellow dutch booknerd here :D
Game of thrones has the same set up in the front and back of the book (maps, time lines, family trees, etc) its necessary!
I joined the readathon but had to pack so I spent the day listening to audiobooks and finished two books 🤗
Heuj Leiden (: Ik herkende het direct toen ik Molen de Valk zag in de preview, haha. Ik denk er ook aan om The priory of the orange tree op te pakken maar het is nogal intimiderend tbh
I’m doing my first 24 hour readathon soon that’s for tips
Your videos always make me miss my year in the Netherlands (Maastricht), which is weird bc you're like... mostly at home. Still, it feels cozy and I like it, lol.
I absolutely loved The Priory! But then I didn't care for Niklais or Tane at all and lived all for Ead xD
hope you liked the book at the end!!
yes
I am doing it
why not
I did it!
and I will do it again
i love it
I LOVE reading logger book bc i feel smarter lol idk why but i just do. Also, I now follow you bc I saw your comment one ReadbyZoe's channel!
haha I get that though! and thank you!
14:03 I laughed out loud at that😂😂
My sister lives in the Netherlands and for Christmas in 2018 she got me some of the Tony Chocolonely bars and they are honestly AMAZING! It's sad you guys don't get Cadburys and things over there though.
Alchemy recs: The Alchemists of Loom by Elise Kova-it’s got villainous dragons too.
About the alchemy request: I loved 'Perfume' by Patrick Süßkind!!
I just bought this book and it is hugggeee
Im happy that im not the only who it takes an hour to read 50 pages
One one hand I'm glad I got this as an e-book and didn't realize it had a glossary and everything because that meant I just kept on pushing forward through the first 200 pages and just accepted being confused, but I really wish I could know what my experience would have been if I had read abt the characters when getting to know them or when they reappeared and I had no idea who they were haha
Jack the Ripper series by Keri maniscalco is good if you want anatomy old times science 🤷♀️
Ooh you would probably like the “Poison Study” trilogy by Maria V Snyder!
yesss i read the first book and i did enjoy it
My only regret is not grabbing that book from my library before all this, I literally looked at it and went naw I probably won’t read it 😞
A random question…^^’ is your edition of the priory of the orange trees the big one with 23cm or the small one with the 20cm?
In German "The Priory of the Orange Tree" is 1.088 PAGES long!!!!! :'DDD

Early!
Im gonna try to do a little challenge to get me going , i got better at reading more faster, so I might try this!
🤩📚👍🏻
It really helps getting some reading done!
If you like that book may be check out the Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan
The music at 11:00 tho 👌🏼
I read this book and it took me like a month and Im a pretty fast reader so I understand the struggle 😂😂
The monstrumologist by Rick Yancey has the anatomy old-timey sciency thing done very well.
ohhhh thank you!
That ending is a whole mood lmao
me all the time
It sounds similar to The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
Super video 👍
Reading fantasy 😉
🤗🤗🐈🐈
❤️
I am new to your channel but I heard you need book recommendations with the word I cannot spell I suggest strange the dreamer by Lani Taylor
im inlove with your accent
I am a new subscriber to your channel .. I liked the content and you motivated me really to do this challenge .. I kept posponing books for long time... suggestion : can you please make Dutch learning videos ?
read strange the dreamer by laini taylor!
that one's on my tbr!
I'm so intimidated by Priory of the Orange Tree! I tried reading it a while ago, but only got through the first 30 pages 😅
keep going! once you get past it, it's really good!
