Exactly ! I stopped watching booktubers for 2 years because i got bored of same books but now ive just discovered this channel and i am so so happy. (already watched 3 vlogs and keep going)
I usually have like 4-5 books going at the same time: audiobook, non-fiction natural science book, non-fiction business book, fiction standalone, and a long fiction series. I think of each like a subject studied in school, where they can all be consumed at the same time but don’t lose their meanings.
The early fall vibes + the nonfiction/fiction combos are the perfect atmosphere! I love to combine a nonfiction audiobook with plenty of fantasy/fiction especially during the fall :)
I know that good time-management is critical. However, even with that, I find it hard to comprehend that you are able to do all the things that you accomplish in your busy life ! Steve.....commenting from outside a very small town in an extremely rural part of the State of Mississippi, USA.
Hi Leonie!! Your reading vlogs are my favorite videos. You even inspired me to do the 24 hour readathon challenge on my channel. It was kinda chaotic but really fun. Thank you for all that you do. I can tell how much time and effort you put into your videos and I really appreciate it. x
Instead of focusing on the content, I was just thinking about the fact that Leonie had to set up the camera, start recording, walk around a bit and then run back to the camera and stop recording 😂
Me too! I started wondering instead whether she has someone else do the camera work. Things like setting up the camera, then walking out and shutting the door, then opening the door and walking in... 😅
Yessss, so happy to hear you liked Girls with Sharp Sticks! Gifting a book is always a bit of a gamble, so I'm happy it worked out this way. Join the underrated favs club!!
Mexican Gothic fits even better in November 2nd because that day is Día de Muertos, day of the death, would be the translation. That day we’re all about calacas and honoring our departed loved ones by making altares and eating a lot of Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead) it’s a very delicious bread. And I’m sorry if I made any mistakes, english it’s abously not my first lenguage, I’m from México. I love your videos, Leo, you’re really nice 💛✨
i love watching your reading vlogs!!! they are really amazing and i always look forward to them. dont be too hard on yourself. keepsafe always leonie ❤❤❤❤
Your reading vlogs are so cute! I like the cool little transitions you do. Just discovered your channel recently, but I like how artsy it is. I think this is the first of your reading vlogs I've seen, and I like it a lot! The Gilded Wolves looks super good, too, might have to add that one to my list. Your thoughts on Man's Search For Meaning are really interesting, as well. It's also funny to hear you mention Silicon Valley, cuz that's right next to me, haha. But your vlogs are goals, keep up the good work! I've also seen so much about Mexican Gothic, I might have to add it to my list.
This video speaks to me on a personal level, what happened over this past summer is I started a lot of books and ended up DMF'ing all of them and starting over with something new 😂😂
I'm giving work a break for a week and hey... I am gonna read four books too! I know you like non-fiction and from your Goodreads, I know you haven't read "why we sleep by Matthew Walker" yet so I highly recommend it
yeaah, finally another reading vlog ❤️ I've waited for that! So, GWSS is on my wishlist now. I love your two tops, which you were wearing at the end of the video, so beautiful! 😊
Hi, I just found your channel. I really Like your ideas and humour. Also, that you like reading several genres, is very inspirering. Greetings from Deutschland, liebe Grüße!
Your choice of books speaks to me so much - the mixture of fantasy, philosophical books, Feminism... Also I am really looking forward to your climate change series!
I honestly enjoyed reading books again after I found your channel 🥰🙌 btw do you mind sharing your video editing software?? I really love how you edit your videos 💜✨💯
@@TheBookLeo i am just coming out of my addictions, and started reading a little while ago. These recommendations help me stay a little sane. So, thank you 😁
This may sound like a cliche but that idea that you're not in control of what's happening around you but you do have an influence on your attitudes towards it really helped me getting through my depression 2 years ago and has been having a really positive impact on my life ever since and still to this day. At the time I just wrote it off as unrealistic since it's rather hard to be positive when everything around you was so depressive but I still tried to follow it as there was really not much else I could do and I'm glad that I did because now I'm nowhere near as gloomy and negative as I was. I also managed to pull my friend who was also in a similar situation out of it as well thanks to my changes of attitudes. I really ejoyed listening to your opinions on these things so I'd love to see more of them but I am also aware that some people might find them boring lol.
Hi Leonie! I love your videos :) I was wondering if you know about Blackwell's. They're an independent bookstore that ship worldwide for free and they are often as cheap (sometimes cheaper) than bookdepo/amazon. Maybe good to know. Keep it up with the great videos! x
@@TheBookLeo I wanted to thank you for low-key encouraging me to start reading fantasy! It was the genre I didn't want to come close to, but seeing you read lighter fantasy and overall taking your time (a month sometimes) to read a novel encouraged me to pick up "Silver In the Wood" - 100 page folklore-inspired novella, which I loved and I even picked a sequel yesterday! Fyi, main characters give me such Hannibal&Will vibes, I think you'll love it too!
Hoi Leonie, ik doe dit jaar eindexamen en zit erover na te denken om in Leiden te studeren, ik dacht dat je ooit genoemd had dat je daar had gestudeerd :)) Ik vroeg me af hoe jouw ervaring was, ook met een woning zoeken (als ik je inderdaad in Leiden woont/studeert), hopelijk zie je dit!
Hoi! Ik vind Leiden een hele leuke studentenstad, met actief studentenleven. Een kamer zoeken is wel erg lastig, maar dat is het helaas in elke studentenstad :(
I'm really incapable of ordering only 1 book online and not 2 or 3. It's a problem lol. I really enjoy your vlogs, especially when there are field trips involved. It's turned fall here thankfully, so I was going to get into the season and start Mexican Gothic too for the book club. Also was going to try Michael McDowell's The Elementals. I've been ready for Halloween since August.
I dnfd the Gilded Wolves but I was listening to the audiobook. I’m thinking the problem was just the audiobook and I should give the physical book a go instead!
The non-fiction books sounded really interesting! I noticed that you (as well as other channels about reading books) mainly talk about fiction books, so it was interesting to hear what you thought about non-fiction books. My attitude towards books is pretty much the opposite of yours; I mainly read non-fiction and when I am really in the mood I read fiction books haha. Have you considered doing reviews about those books? it would be pretty cool to hear your thoughts.
@@TheBookLeo Great, I´ll make sure to check that up! Also, your style of recording bits at different times is really cool for a vlog. Might have seen it somewhere else, but it was really well done here, as it makes the whole vlog feel more like a story than just you saying your thoughts. Might be the influence of reading so many stories yourself haha
i only started reading it to bridge the time until i could read another book, so i stopped reading. I do want to finish it someday i just don't yet know when
kenshin netero I don’t know what you like reading so I have recommendations for a couple of genres: Sci-Fi: defy the stars by Claudia Gray (completed trilogy) or skyward by Brandon Sanderson (ongoing series) Historical Fiction: Lovely War by Julie Berry (standalone) (one of my favorite books) or Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin (completed duology) (alternate universe+one magical element) Fantasy: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (completed duology) (also a favorite of mine) or an ember in the ashes by Sabaa Tahir (soon to be completed series) Mystery: Sadie by Courtney Summers (standalone) or The Diviners by Libba Bray (completed series) Contemporary: The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed(standalone) (favorite of mine) (lots of trigger warnings tho) or Dear Martin by Nic Stone (standalone) Romance: Aristotle an Dante discover the secrets of the universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (standalone) or Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender (standalone) or if you want straight romances: Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch (companion series) or The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli (companion series) Hope you like some of them 😂
The Book Leo lol, recognized him from my (and apparently also his) Hearthstone stage, a few years back. I had no idea that he blew up with among us, but that’s amazing!

I think you’re the only booktuber that I actually get recommendations for non fiction , thanks for that
Exactly ! I stopped watching booktubers for 2 years because i got bored of same books but now ive just discovered this channel and i am so so happy. (already watched 3 vlogs and keep going)
There's emmie too, she reads all sorts of genres. You might wanna check her out!
I always love watching your reading vlog 😊

woah cool that you did a 24 hour readathon! and thank you
I am always reading more than one book at once. I have hit double digits at this stage. I would not recommend hitting double digits.
I hit triple lol jkjk
See you packing those orders already gives me goosebumps and I am anxiously waiting for them to arrive :)
Instead of focusing on the content, I was just thinking about the fact that Leonie had to set up the camera, start recording, walk around a bit and then run back to the camera and stop recording 😂
yup i was constantly scared someone would see it
Me too! I started wondering instead whether she has someone else do the camera work. Things like setting up the camera, then walking out and shutting the door, then opening the door and walking in... 😅
a trick: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Wilson Onyx yea, have been watching on flixzone} for since november myself =)
Yessss, so happy to hear you liked Girls with Sharp Sticks! Gifting a book is always a bit of a gamble, so I'm happy it worked out this way. Join the underrated favs club!!
Please do more read vlogs .. it was so good and enjoying.. and keep it long .. like 30 minutes and more .. love you 💗💗💗
My reading plans for october are quite exciting hehe
1. Madame Bovary
2. A monster calls

👻🎃☁️
에리카Erika Oh I plan to read Madame Bovary too! And I’ve read A Monster Calls, it truly is as good as everyone says
ayyy i’m rereading a monster calls this month it’s so good!
Mexican Gothic fits even better in November 2nd because that day is Día de Muertos, day of the death, would be the translation.

that sounds so wonderful!
This was the reason I needed to read Mexican Gothic! Requested from the library, hope it arrived on time. Fantastic vlog as usual, now for my reading!
honestly i'm going to start my morning with reading and coffee now, it seems like a good idea to add some structure.
Your reviews on non-fiction books are very insightful and they help me a lot when choosing what books to read next
cool video I love how at (19:38) your cat just leaped out the door once it opened. They were like freeedoooom loll
Wow, the atmosphere in this vlog! Loved it! ♥️
Hi Leonie I Really loved the vlog, It's like reading and spending time with a friend together

This video speaks to me on a personal level, what happened over this past summer is I started a lot of books and ended up DMF'ing all of them and starting over with something new 😂😂
ahh, so proud of you to have finished all 4 books within the week :) was a fun vlog indeed!
I'm giving work a break
for a week
and hey... I am gonna read four books too!
I know you like non-fiction
and from your Goodreads, I know you haven't read "why we sleep by Matthew Walker" yet
so I highly recommend it
I just finished Gilded Wolves last week and it's definitely one of my favorite books I've read this year. I can't wait to read the second book!
Great video🌸great outdoor shots ❤️
Oooo yes Girls with Sharp Sticks is so fun
yeaah, finally another reading vlog ❤️ I've waited for that! So, GWSS is on my wishlist now. I love your two tops, which you were wearing at the end of the video, so beautiful! 😊
Love your vlogs so much! Also just ordered from your Etsy store too and I’m so excited for them to arrive 💕
Could you please do a video showing how you run your etsy shop like how it works when you have to post items x
I love your channel and the music selection you use for the background. :)
i always love picking the music haha
Man's Search for Meaning sounds like an absolutely fascinating book!
You make great cocktails with book choices.
15:39 that's exactly what I felt about essentialism

it's my bday and all the updates today are like presents lol.
I like your reading vlogs
oooo mexican gothic
i am SO looking forward to your thoughts on that one when you get to it
Hi Leonie! I love your videos :) I was wondering if you know about Blackwell's. They're an independent bookstore that ship worldwide for free and they are often as cheap (sometimes cheaper) than bookdepo/amazon. Maybe good to know. Keep it up with the great videos! x
How many books do you think you can read at once?? I'm not sure I could focus on 4 at the same time haha. That is a talent!
If you like Chloe Brown you will LOVE Dani Brown it's amazing.
Congratulations for 50k🥳🥳🥳🥳
thank youuu :D

You may answered this before, so I’m sorry to ask if so, but where did you get your glasses 😅? They’re lovely!
ace & tate!
How do you listen to audiobooks? What service you do use?
storytel!
where did u get your glasses they r so pretty 🥺🥺🥺
they are from ace & tate
@@TheBookLeo thank you !
Hi! I was wondering, what app do you use to listen to audiobooks? 🥺 Also, I love watching your reading vlogs♥️
i use storytel!
I can't link to your shop on Etsy. Help please❤
Good morning nice video 👍
Did Leonie make the art for those etsy prints herself or who is the artist for them?
i make them myself!
I'm just curious what's ur specialization?
you should read handmade's tale
Welke app gebruik je voor je luisterboeken? :)
storytel!
Hello!! What app do you use for audiobooks?
Storytel!
Oh wow I’m early ❤️❤️❤️
How do you balance making reading content like this and schoolwork?
Didn't you try reading crime and punishment a while ago? What happened with that? Cause i'd love to hear your opinion on it
i only started reading it to bridge the time until i could read another book, so i stopped reading. I do want to finish it someday i just don't yet know when
I wanna give YA a real chance, what’s a good YA book or book series to start with?
Turtles all the way down
Harry Potter
kenshin netero I don’t know what you like reading so I have recommendations for a couple of genres:
Sci-Fi: defy the stars by Claudia Gray (completed trilogy) or skyward by Brandon Sanderson (ongoing series)
Historical Fiction: Lovely War by Julie Berry (standalone) (one of my favorite books) or Wolf by Wolf by Ryan Graudin (completed duology) (alternate universe+one magical element)
Fantasy: Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo (completed duology) (also a favorite of mine) or an ember in the ashes by Sabaa Tahir (soon to be completed series)
Mystery: Sadie by Courtney Summers (standalone) or The Diviners by Libba Bray (completed series)
Contemporary: The Nowhere Girls by Amy Reed(standalone) (favorite of mine) (lots of trigger warnings tho) or Dear Martin by Nic Stone (standalone)
Romance: Aristotle an Dante discover the secrets of the universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz (standalone) or Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender (standalone) or if you want straight romances: Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch (companion series) or The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli (companion series)
Hope you like some of them 😂
not my fav, but the percy jackson series is good because it's got serious tones and lots of research on mythology so you can learn things in them!
Why do the Dutch booktubers keep pronouncing Auschwitz as Auswitch? :D
I also cringe every time I hear it :))))
10:47 Wait, was that, Disguised Toast?
yup lolol i am addicted to among us
The Book Leo lol, recognized him from my (and apparently also his) Hearthstone stage, a few years back. I had no idea that he blew up with among us, but that’s amazing!
*It's Wednesday my dudes*
What accent is this? It sounds beautiful 🙈
You're so cool and pretty. I love you.
Hey Leonie, do you have a full time job, or are you a student?
i'm a student!
Hmm so you're into the among us meta, very well
yup i'm obsessed
