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 :)

"It is easier to watch tik tok than to pick up a book" - this really scarily true.

@finlaymcdiarmid5832 3 года назад

when i read a book i come away satisfied. I rarely feel satisfied after being on ticktok for about 5 minutes just angry..

@g4biruprod 3 года назад

I couldn't do 50 pages in the beginning, so I just did a one page rule. I obviously ended up reading more than one page a day, but it's easier to make yourself grab a book if you take the pressure off. Sounds silly but it works hshs love this video and Howl's moving castle!

@angelazeiler6838 3 года назад

I was in a reading slump for the last five or six years. But last month I discovered your channel and other booktubers and now I'm reading again incl. a reading journal. Just like that... I already read over ten books in April and just finished the last book from the Peter Grant Series (crime- fantasy in London 🥰) and I realised how much I love and missed books. Thank you so much for "reminding" me 😁

@RaymondJonesnz 3 года назад

Hard to find a favourite Gaiman. I discount Omens as he was flying alongside Sir Terry the creator of worlds and the master of Narrativium. [Thats not to discount Neil's contribution] For me, It's a toss-up between The Ocean at the End of the Lane which is spine chilling whatever age one reads it and The Graveyard Book; discovering which famous children's book inspired Graveyard will astound you and illustrates Gaiman's brilliance as an author.

@JolienReads 3 года назад

Your reading vlogs are the ones I enjoy most of all on booktube! They never feel boring imo. Reading 50 pages a day is something I'm going to try to put as a goal for myself as well, give or take a few pages! I discovered audiobooks in the beginning of the year and I love them, but I don't want to neglect my physical reads so that might be a realistic goal to set for myself.

@caitlyn.m.t9618 3 года назад

I get what you mean when you say it is weird to read at night. For me it is at the end of my day and it just feels weird to do something when the day is over for me. And also, when my brain is active I can't sleep so reading may be a bad idea depending on the book. I personally enjoy reading in the morning in the most because I am up at the crack of dawn and no one else is up and it is the most peaceful and relaxing thing and it only gets better with a cup of tea and a book.

@tine442 3 года назад

I have a reading slamp, since February -.-. I only finished one book in March, too. I really enjoyed the book, but I had to force myself to read.
