Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 year old girl from the Netherlands who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave).

Those images of media offline are my favourite esthetic

[izzamemario]

The media offline aesthetic is a hard one capture. Congrats on tackling that!

“I keep acquiring books… it just never stops” truer words have never been spoken

[cannedasparagus]

Media offline is also my favorite way of sorting books <3

i know you have a million people in the comments telling you to be careful about the books in the windowsill bc of the sun fade, but the real tragedy is from the condensation you mentioned!! i left a book on my windowsill overnight in the winter once and when i woke up the book was completely soaked through and STUCK to the window lolol. be careful when the weather gets colder <3

1:30 i love these pictures, they are sooo crimson

You could thrift picture frames and use their class to put them under the plant pots which are standing on your book piles, as some extra water-spilling protection.

I feel like Leonie will exist within these four walls of this teeny tiny room forever as a sort of time capsule

I do little unhaul piles!
I keep them in the hallway in front of my room and my sisters, friends or my sisters friends can take anything they want. And not only for books but clothes and bags too, its really cool to see my sisters friend wear the jeans that I dont fit into anymore

“We take the mess and make it pretty” is what I try to do most mornings to myself lol

I love watching book declutters while doing absolutely nothing to declutter my own overflowing shelf

[clemoswin]

The stack of books for your friends is such a good idea ! Like a little free library but for people who really care 🥰 love it !

[r.j.williams]

I completely agree that not every book has to go on a shelf! Every flat surface in my room has books on, and if it doesn't the potential is there lol
I also has so much random stuff on my shelves. There is a terracotta pot, which is normal, but you open it and inside is a lump of concrete

It's so satisfying watching someone organize and interesting to see the little ways they personalize their space. Love your vids!!

All For The Game series by Nora Sakavic!! I cant explain how much I adore that series and it makes me happy to see it up there. It is actually criminal that its often classified as a sports romance becauze its 100% not. Despite its numerous numerous flagrant errors and deeply problematic and graphic everything, it has a chokehold on me and I'm never going to get over it. Serious trigger warnings but dear god is it my favorite universe ever.

''media offline'' my favorite aesthetic ♥

[clemoswin]

The stacks of books on the mantlepiece with plants on them are SO COOL 🤩 but I know I won't ever do that because I would be afraid of watering the books while watering the plants 😅

I think the main problem with the windowsill is not that the pages will turn yellow, but it's that the covers will turn pale. Like a sun-tan, but reversed 😂 but if you don't care, that's fine ^^ they are very viby too !

Whenever someone mentions the Foxhole Court I have a mini heart attack because, deep down, I'm convinced I made them up. They're way too unhinged to be REAL.

warning about keeping books on window sills!! I had some sitting on mine and there was condensation that water damaged the books sitting there
