Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 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 :)

I´m always suprised to see that sundays aren´t considered "special" days in other countries. In Germany nothing, absolutely nothing is open on sundays, only a few selected grocery stores are open but it depends on the location. Thank you for giving us an inside in your life, it´s very relaxing following you along.

@lucadoesvideos 3 года назад

It’s the same in France (: We only have a few things open in the morning but it’s usually very very quiet and it also depends on the location.

@r.j.williams 3 года назад

Same in the UK, most things aren't open and the things that are are only really open between 11 and 4.

@xLSofia 3 года назад

In The Netherlands, stores in the big cities are always open on Sunday’s but the stores in the smaller villages are usually closed since it is considered a rest day

@norah6954 3 года назад

Yesss, that totally twisted my brain!

@rohitha3508 3 года назад

Well in India absolutely nothing is closed on sundays. In fact people go out a lot on weekends and we pretty much have big crowds on the roads all through the weekend.

I'm so jealous of how many bookstores you have nearby. I did my best to browse the shelves as you walked by them. One of my favorite things to do.

@karimabou8784 3 года назад

Oh same one shelf of overly over hyped best sellers. It's always hard to find something else. Even in second hand bookshops the selection of english books is always small. That's why i go i always check them every time i can. Sometimes i get lucky.

Your fascination on the color changing lights was just too cute and funny. I can certainly relate to it and the anxiety of live streaming. I got similar lights for my home office last year and almost tried live streaming while on lock down last year but just couldn't bring myself to do it. haha I just love those weekends when things fall into place and we can find extra time to relax and enjoy a good book!

@Lokster71 3 года назад

Neuromancer is an excellent book. Or I thought so. The beautiful bookmark I bought from you - and the British Post Office tried to ruin - has been doing sterling service. It's currently marking about halfway through an anthology of First World War Poetry. Liked the video. Made me a) want to go book shopping and b) go to the Netherlands again.

Hey Leonie~ I'm binging your videos and just seeing you drink bubble tea and walk around going to bookstores is so relaxing. I miss going around and visiting bookstores too! My country has a bad case of covid so we've been in and out of lockdowns. I also just wanna say, for some reason you remind me of Jodie Foster, you're super beautiful! Take care!

@sarahkendall5714 3 года назад

Never fear, the bookshops will start getting better stock soon, I found that here in the UK when the shops first opened their stock wasn't very good and I actually felt bad for not buying anything, but give it a week or so and new, more interesting stock will start coming in - especially in those second hand bookshops! You probably don't need any further recommendations for your TBR but I hope you one day get to read 'The Binding' and 'The Haunting of Henry Twist', I would say they'd make for a perfect autumnal read. :)

@NeilBruder 3 года назад

I’m looking forward to your thoughts on Neuromancer whenever you finally get to it. I first read it maybe 2 decades ago and had forgotten almost everything about it. Recently I listened to the audiobook from the library and I have to say I was disappointed. I didn’t like the audiobook narrator and that probably had a lot to do with it. Maybe I should try rereading the physical book. At any rate, it’ll be interesting to hear the thoughts of a first time reader.

@98pecoso 3 года назад

@@mac8697 I felt the same when I watched the movie. And I did it after finishing the book. It annoys me a bit, bcz Blade Runner is considered a classic, and a great movie. I probably check it out again in the future
