Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 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 :)

What I love the most about ur channel is how you combine aesthetics with minimalism. You don't read a huge number of books but you make the ones you read truly count. I am amazed by how you came up with recommendations for each prompt, ones that are not immediately obvious but make a lot of sense.

"A book for if you like Wednesday"

Oh, I thought this person was just a fan of Wednesdays. We're halfway through the week! The Christmas miracle that is the weekend appearing faintly in the distance, glowing warm and inviting on the hill

I feel like for the prompt, "You're on your own, kid", Taylor Jenkins Reid books would fit as well because they tend to have themes of family instability and the protagonists realizing they have to rely on themselves.
Also the fact that it's based on fictional celebrities so the whole bridge would fit too

OMG, this sweater is pure perfection ❤

The Outsider by Camus is often available as The Stranger. It's a fascinating coincidence that you mention it, because I just finished it and thought it was good enough to be the subject of a monthly book discussion I attend, so we're reading it for January.

I need more books with trope "they love each other, but they don't know that they love each other" after years and years of reading, I just realize that I'm in love with these! I think it started with pride and prejudice ❤️❤️❤️

ghibli fans should definitely check out any of Diana Wynne Jones' books! of course Howl's Moving Castle is an unavoidable mention, but its two companion novels (Castle in the Air and House of Many Ways) also give those whimsical, magical, cozy vibes that we love about ghibli. i've also read the Chrestomanci series by this same author and really loved it!

my heart flutters every time you mention these violent delights by micah because it's one of my absolute favorite books and i was devastated when i found out it wasn't getting the attention it so deserves 💙👏🏻

oh two videos in two days <3 its a holiday gift for us

[janarenger]

Oh my god I need more people to read Nevermoor! It's one of my favourite series and it's so addicting. The characters are so amazing and I still think about them regularly. Definitely has some cozy magic vibes if you're looking for that. Humour is also fantastic. Setting is also great. I mean a magical hotel? There's just so much Iove about that book. Pls read it.

Love the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet. Great and provocative books! Have a great week, Leonie!

I found your channel like two days ago, and this is exactly what I wanted another video of. Thank you!

A dark academia book that almost no one talks about is The Resurrectionist by E. B. Hudspeth, this book follows a scientist and his descent into madness due to study and science, it’s precisely what dark academia stands for and it has only 800+ reviews on goodreads and it’s so so good!!!

I love the jumper! Your dress sense is always so lovely. If it was something you'd be interested in making, would definitely love to watch some wardrobe / fashion / jewellery content by you.

I've been binging your videos for several days and I'm super glad that I found you. I really like your vibe, and how cozy and warm are the ambient of the videos. I haven't read anything for the longest time 😂 and I just miss the feeling of reading a good book and being intrigued by a good plot. I can feel your passion for bookish things and it's contageous! Thanks for that! And thanks for the recommendations as well! 🥰 Hope this little comment finds you well. Greetings from Madrid! 🌞

Just watched a few seconds and the glitter dots around your eyes are perfection✨ ok, will continue to watch now ☺️

[natalie_kendel]

You have this perfect balance between immaculate aesthetic, succinct communication style, and a really good instinct for stories.
I just found your channel, and I'm enamoured! (Also, unlike many Americans, you pronounce Ghibli with a hard "G", and that made me soft in knees.)

[cunninglilcutie]

ahhh I'm obsessed with your look today! the little eye dots and the ghibli earrings and the clouds on your sweater are so cute and wholesome ☁☁☁

[taraxq]

[dsnunez]
