today i'm reacting to my first ever booktube video which was the booktube newbie tag! It's was kind of cringey lol but i had a fun time watching it! It's my 5 year anniversary here on booktube so it's a good opportunity to discuss how my fave genres have changes, and how i now look at books differently than 5 years ago!

Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 22 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 :)

For some reason, your 17 year old version reminds me of Professor Trelawney, if she straightened her hair 😂

@walterpinkmantanay1577 4 года назад

You went from Professor Trelawney to Ginny Weasely peak hotness 😂😂❤

@hawthornetherose2295 4 года назад

It feels like 17-year-old you was taking the questions as a personal attack lol. The answers are so aggressive 😂

I love how much personality your newbie tag has! Mine is super shy, which is weird because I am not shy at all in real life. I’ve been on booktube since 2013, but made my current (and only publicly available!) newbie tag about five years ago. It’s odd going back and seeing how much I was putting on a weird affect for the camera, whereas now I definitely record more like a casual, conversational video that is more like how I talk naturally. It’s a fun time capsule.

This is so hilariously cringey but cute at the same time. 😂 You've come a long way

the aesthetic of this video tho ✨the flavour is immaculate✨

@bebeliophile 4 года назад

This was really cute! hehe I can see the confidence change❣️❣️

@MyBookNook 4 года назад

You were so cute Leonie ❤❤ And the "awkward on camera" part is so relatable 🙈😂

@samsamuels8328 4 года назад

OMG! You were so cute back then! And I am not saying it just because I am a groupie. 5 years ago I would have really thought you were really cool, especially after the parody ending about the camera hand... Also, you had really great English even then. Really impressive! 👌

@DanielCifer 4 года назад

Hahaha this was a joy to watch. You should do another video where you just go ham with all the dramatic facial expressions and editing again lol.

@ariverdreaming 10 месяцев назад

Oh my god you actually were adorable though bb tuber you was so earnest and silly it’s adorable. Also it’s wild how a better pair of glasses and face framing layers can glow you up I feel that so hard 😅

@noelle7pages 4 года назад

omg I just love everything about this 😂

@peggymccright1220 3 года назад

I’m not sure why this video popped up for me but I’m glad it did. I didn’t enjoy reading until college when I discovered gothic romance books. I’ve been married twice for a total of 38 years and I can’t stand romance novels anymore. I want someone to write about what happens after the wedding. How to keep love alive etc. Now I’m reading the classics and books in Spanish and nonfiction. I loved your video of 20 things you learned from nonfiction books. I only discovered book tubers since Covid and now I’m hooked! Keep making awesome videos and thanks!

@ZzZivaReads 4 года назад

Why is this the cutest thing on booktube this week omg baby Leo was the best 😄

@jamesduggan7200 4 года назад

I understand what you meant about the glasses. I'm always discovering things about myself that I could have figured out years before, if only I was smart enough! It's like wow I've been doing that for twenty years and it's really bad but now I know and I'm going to stop. And then I do. Thx for the video - enjoyed

@sadiyahnicole 4 года назад

that was so cuuuuuute 😭 I just started a channel so this helped me accept the fact that I’m awkward on camera right now

@cunningba 2 года назад

Hi. I'm a 73 year old man who has always read a lot. Since I am thinking of starting a BookTube channel, I compiled a playlist of BookTube Newbie Tag videos, currently at 529 videos. Believe me, your original video would not be in the bottom quartile. More than a little self conscious, yes. Maybe a little cringe worthy at times, but you were being playful and you're no Cindy. You had the good sense to keep it short and took the time to edit. I can understand why you keep it private now, but thanks for making this video. I have rather eclectic and extensive reading tastes which are concentrated very near fantasy and YA. But I have enjoyed a lot of your videos and frequently thought them insightful. Now, if there were just a video that explained all the hand gestures. You talk a lot with your hands, which I find fascinating. Maybe I'm just the wrong cohort and missed all the dance moves generations after me picked up. If not you, somebody needs to make a video explaining all the hand gestures of the under-40 BookTubers for us more mature readers.

@JohanniThunstrom 3 года назад

I think the Book Newbie Tag is really good!! Definitely a video to be proud of :)

@BrandonsBookshelf 2 года назад

this was amazing. I am a newbie and found you because I just did the newbie tag myself...so fun to watch your progression! Very inspired!

@adambeeable 4 года назад

Your first booktube video was cute. What is notable that is that your pronunciation of the English language has improved dramatically. Don't know if you notice it, but it's a lot better now.

@christianjocson5509 Год назад

Her facial and non-verbal gestures are so dorky-in a very cute way 😂 😊

@AbirFa 4 года назад

This makes my awkward incompetent self feel so much better 😭

@Readshannon-e3m 4 часа назад

I just posted my first video today...thanks for making me feel better about it.

@deldevours Год назад

I didn't think it was cringe at all. In fact, it's probably one of the most entertaining newbie tag videos I've seen.

@aracelisalazar5419 4 года назад

I think I remember watching your first video lol you did look cute!

@johnsaxongitno4life588 4 года назад

I really love it please keep up your fantastic work as your channel is amazing love John from Australia xx looking forward to watching you for the next 5 years xx please stay safe xx

@ottoismy1dog 4 года назад

Congratulations on 5 years ✨ It was great to reminisce with you. Love your content & you 💖

@mcdoobies7328 4 года назад

I think we all agree that you seriously underestimate how cute your early videos were.

@leoniesliberi 4 года назад

Am I the only one who thought that outro with the hand was actually pretty funny? 😆 My name‘s also Leonie and so many people have tried to find a nickname for me and every time it came down to like Leo, Leni or Leli and I just don‘t like any of those, so I feel you on people not knowing your actual name 😂

@carloscamejo391 4 года назад

Look up pill commercials from the USA... That's what the ukulele music reminds me of lol

@urnotgona 4 года назад

both the video and your earrings are 10/10

@teanlit2949 4 года назад

I think I’m going to start a BookTube channel and I hope my first video is a little less cringey. Thank you so much for sharing, it is a real gem! 🤗

@fallisdying2077 2 года назад

haha loved this!!

@itomg 3 года назад

I wonder .... how would you look at today's version of you in 5 years time .... Recently I was looking at some footage of me as a 28 year old ... with mixed feelings (to keep it gentle). Honestly she was cute ... and very 17 year old :-)) Embrace her 'cause she is part of you and will be for the rest of your life. I think you're lucky having her being part of you!

@gabriellaoliveira9833 4 года назад

Your voice sounds so different haha,,, but you seem so much more confident!! Still was cute tho

@MollysBookNookMore 4 года назад

Dystopians aren't the center of attention anymore because we are living in a dystopian novel. 🤷

Genius right from the start

@orsettomorbido 4 года назад

Everyone's old videos are cringy HAHAHA Adorable. And you personality was more or less the same. Amazing XD

@rebelliousreading4348 2 года назад

I just uploaded my booktube newbie tag. I hope I can look back five years from now and cringe at it, because it means I've grown as a creator. :)

@rainydaysurvivor 4 года назад

You have grown so much!

Happy Booktube-aversary!

@josephmarshall6599 4 года назад

I have a question for any youtuber who may be reading this. Do you have a hard time watching your own videos in general? You know, like when I hear my voice recorded I hate it! P.S. Really enjoyed the video Leonie! Your sincerity in all your videos comes across big time.

@sukhroopdoesstuff310 4 года назад

Honestly, I hate it, but since I have to do it to edit, I got used to it after a while!

@hawthornetherose2295 4 года назад

If you’re looking to get into urban fantasy and haven’t read The City We Became by NK Jemisin, I highly suggest it!

@robinsprung207 4 года назад

Great video!

@elenathegreat 4 года назад

omg 9:43 yes yes yes this is SO true

@elenathegreat 4 года назад

it's as if reading the occasional ya book brands your whole reading taste as "juvenile" - and what i've noticed here is that it's mostly the anti-ya snobs making these assumptions

@TheBookLeo 4 года назад

yes it's so odd!!

@willforlife_ 3 года назад

This is prettyyy prettyyy jokes

@Azoth86730 4 года назад

Nice haha it's just cute

@SarahEsmaeWolfe 3 года назад

If I remember correctly, 10 years ago or so there was a limit to how long your videos could be, it might have been 10 or 15 minutes.

@Lexalubanga 4 года назад

😂😂😂😂

@jimsbooksreadingandstuff 3 года назад

you have an interesting character arc from cringey teen to confident booktuber...

@IsmaPuntoDoc 4 года назад

Maybe you remember yourself feeling awkward, but I think you come of WAY more loose and confident than most first time RU-vidrs. It still is a first time video 😅 But if I saw that today I'd say "Awee... She's very charming, I'll be watching again".

@michaelsommers2356 4 года назад

I don't see anything to cringe about in that video. Of course, your current videos are more polished, but that is only to be expected.

@PeacefulSurfer69 4 года назад

No judgements.... honestly... I just think you are really sweet and cute 🔥

@akeemgreen4144 4 года назад

@keyo3945 4 года назад

this video needs a dislike! your first video is so cute, and it is not cringey(not a little bit)! Congratulations for 5 years of Booktube and goodbye 🤷‍♀️ . . . //I give it a like//
