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 :)

you being a science student but giving off like lit/art vibes is my new favorite aesthetic
i guess it's kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?
Reqzone
@@hunterharper6025this is soo random 😂
3:55 I love when a non-Spaniard person thinks that dinner at 10 is late
JAJAJAJA
I’m Brazilian and THE FACTS HAHAHAH
Am not spaniard but I can relate to this
In our city eating dinner in the midnight is normal can't imagine how some people eat dinner at 7.pm lol
I eat dinner at 5:30 p.m. 🤣 I'm Canadian though and it gets pitch black at like 4:45 p.m.
@@gabriellebelcourt5487 What time to you go to bed? Or better yet, what time do you finish work? That would just be a late lunch for me :)))
"You're secretly into coffee"
All I see here are coffee people that know they have lost but are trying to deny it.
Tea people RISE! (And cocoa too, we love you too.)
Yes! My tea is steeping at this moment.
*2 years later*
I’m a coffee, tea, AND cocoa guy 😂 my three main drinks besides water
I drink coffee in the morning or a Mocca if I am in the mood and tea in the afternoon or at night, I just can't stand plain coffee at any hour that isn't the morning
I love Rooibos tea
I thought I was the only one with the fear you mentioned about driving, glad I'm not the only one!
i think many people are with us
Me too!! 🥲
Assumption: you're such a wholesome person
Oh wait, my bad, that's just a fact 💛
you're a science student omg! Had no idea! You give off art school vibes through and through 😭❤️
I am not a native English speaker (actually I am not a English speaker, just reader hahahaha) and the funny thing is that I enjoy watching your videos because I like reading too and helps me with the listening part of learning English. My major achiviment was realising I can understand you without subtitles. Love your videos even tho we have different taste in books
Omg naming your cats after avatar animals is the best thing I’ve heard this week
you're not a redhead? my life was a LIE 😂
whoops sorry to shatter your reality haha
@Rana Najjar I KNOW RIGHT! I was shook
Same😂
Omg you're not a redhead, i was stunned lol 😂😭
hahaha woops the power of editing
Same can’t live without cheese 🧀😂😭
And wow yes I also hate debating. Had to do that at uni and it sucked and I felt soooo anxious.
i had to do it for my master's as well but luckily you could prepare it with your oppononent lol so it wasn't even a real debate
hahah I love how asking if someone listens to girl in red has two different meanings
INFP SQUAD!!
I cried watching Arrival too! I tend to cry at emotional moments of meaningful realizations or like times when people's friends care for them or family's support them without question.
Arrival has some sad moments!
I've been binge watching your videos while I take on the endless task of editing my enormous TBR list on goodreads. The cozy vibes are immaculate!
I cried during Arrival too! The part about the protagonist’s daughter broke me 🥺
What do you mean Arrival is not sad?! I bawled watching that movie lol
it's not tragic or anything i think but it is very emotional!
I honestly love your videos. I mean once I start watching a video that you uploaded I literally have to finish it like I can't click out of your videos. I genuinely love your vibe and I love your book reviews as well.
I love you, seriously. I am obsessed with your videos. You're a goddess 💕
You are my favorite book tuber! I love your candid way of talking about books and about yourself. Also I’m super jealous of the gorgeous area you live in ❤️❤️❤️
Late to the video, but also new to your channel. This was fun for me to watch as someone who has only recently started watching your videos. I love your personality and sense of humor!
In a masters program: “when I grow up...” 😂
It was so much fun to learn more about you! 🖤
The fact that most of your answers are exactly what I would say about myself (every single personality question, the fact that we both are slow readers, being a student and not really knowing what comes next/having mixed feelings about going into academia, the fact that we study subjects that aren't that extremely different from one another (BMS and psychology) and we both had/have a tiny little dream of going to art school...) made my little heart very happy
i watched this video and was amazed at how alike i am to you!! your videos are amazing!!
Perfect timing, watching cozy RUclips in bed.
Over the past two weeks I binged watched your channel and you have such nice cozy vibes and you're voice and english is very pleasant to listen to.
Yay, a fellow INFP. This was a fun video to watch.
I am an INFP and tea person too! 🙋♀️🌿 And I hate debating too lol. But on another note, in my opinion you don't come off as an arrogant person at alll, you look like such a nice and cool person 💛
I 100% agree with you on feeling the inaccuracies with star signs. I don't ascribe to astrology per se, but on the whole I'd say that most of me (with the exception the rest of my life being messy when I'm focused on one thing) does not jive with the stereotypes of an Aquarius.
They say people who swear a lot are the most genuinely kind people out there. I swear a lot too lol.
Who says that? And why believe what "they" say? It's always easy to believe something that makes you feel good about yourself.
@@wellesradio I have heard from various people shrugs. I know me personally I am not a bad person and I curse like a sailor since like my elementary school years. I know several other people who are also sailors who happen to be pleasant people. The saying that people who curse all have small vocabularies is debunked because several people who read a lot curse including several booktubers.
@@omarcook3663 I'm afraid I'll have to burst your bubble, but everyone thinks they are "not a bad person". People admit to murder and still say they are "not a bad person" because they love their grandma, treat their friends nicely, are good tippers, never raped anybody, and "only killed people who deserved it".
Now you're changing the subject from nice people to vocabulary development, which is something on which we at least have some verifiable knowledge (kind and good people is too subjective). The fact is that some people curse a lot and some don't. The reasons behind this are different in many cases, but before we go into it we must acknowledge that "a lot" is also very subjective as is the list of words considered verboten. If you grew up in a home where nobody cursed, even cursing a handful of times throughout a typical week (10 or fewer) might be considered excessive. Some people consider "damn" and "Hell" to be off-color enough to make for a profuse curser. Others might say you have "potty mouth" for using more sexual imagery in your language. And still others only consider it excessive when it borders on Tourette's.
As for the utilization of these supposed "curse words", their employment varies wildly. Some people use them profusely as filler words. Others use them colorfully with a flair for language. Yet others code switch from being heavy to non-users of words that they deem socially unacceptable in some areas of life. It has little to do with intelligence or how kind a person is.
However, in some instances, it may tell us something about an individual's upbringing and emotional development. In those instances, the use of swear words is only the most visible symptom. More can be learned from tallying the size of their overall vocabulary and the emotional expression and emphasis. Someone who says "fuck" in every sentence will stand out, but the questions to ask are really "do they say much else?"; "are they angry/agressive/agitated when they speak?"; "is this excessive cursing a compulsive action?"; and "does it vary according to social circumstances and does the individual pick up behavior cues from others that may enhance or curtail the use of certain words?"
I also wouldn't use "Book Tubers" as a watermark for anything that I wouldn't also put makeup youtubers or haul videos on. That's not a slur on any individuals, but in terms of projects that anyone can engage in (The Book Leo is a god damn neuroscience student. I'm not about to question her intelligence) it is one of the most frivolous, vain, and superficial pursuits. There are medical doctors with Twitch streams. There's really very little overlap and where there is it's not exactly highlighting the strengths required in their professional and personal lives.
@@wellesradio what are you even going on about lol
@@SilverstreamPJ28 I don't know how to answer your question without seeming rude or sarcastic. I was responding to someone else's comments, so I suppose I could say that it wasn't addressed to you. However, this is an open forum and your two cents are valid. Which part didn't you understand? The question raised or the answer? Or is it a matter of reading comprehension? If so, please re-read a bit slower and try to raise specific points.
I know what you mean, I'd considered pursuing a PhD after doing my second Masters in science, but after an extensive hands on research project between two academic institutions I realised that scaling the academic ladder was not for me.
It's not only really competitive, it often feels like each person you work with is an island (especially the further up you go) because people start to get more and more specialised. Hating the project itself likely didn't help, and neither did my supervisor being miserable for a lot of it because some other dude got a paper in on the thing he was working on before he got the chance.
I now work as a programmer/software developer and I love it because I feel supported by my colleagues and there's the sense of achievement that every new project brings new challenges but then new knowledge that I can talk about if I apply elsewhere.
seeing you switch to dutch from english was so cool! i’m learning dutch from duolingo and i hope to one day be bilingual and be able to switch like that (and yes i know you cannot get fluent from duolingo)
this is so fun! i'm watching this one year later--as you wear your harvard sweatshirt & make pumpkin soup!! great flashback
Definitely not getting any arrogant vibes from you. Ever. I was also very surprised to find out you were not actually a redhead! I also just wanted to show my support for your channel, which I love very much. Your voice is so soothing!
Being scared of having arguments is such a mood!
I love how comfortable the generations after mine have become with the tags, geek and nerd... like literally embracing them with pride. They have become as arbitrary as saying you are athletic or academic. When I was a kid growing up in the US, the words geek and nerd were used by "the beautiful people" as a way to sting and suppress. I grew up hating those words and have only relaxed recently with them upon seeing how the younger generations have taken them back and making them a positive!! Well done! 😁 👏👏👏👏
Could you please do a video on your college major and your experience? It just sounds so interesting and I'm in desperate need of some ideas
I'm always looking forward for your videos !!!
thank youu
21:21 I FEEL YOU. Also everyone is so pushy about it in my environment and I'm really scared, I even get nervous when other people is driving
i'm usually super trusting of other people driving i just don't trust myself haha
@@TheBookLeo 😂😂😂😂
I can tell you from personal experience the accents you slip into have to do with the media you consume.
My sister and mom slip into Russian accents when talking to our chickens and cooking and all three of us will occasion slip into an English accents (Because Sherlock, Doctor Who, and Downton Abbey are on constantly) my cousin can do a good Australian accent because for three years she only watched H2O.
It's so cool that you can slip in and out of accents!
I have totally noticed the Australian thing!! I always wondered if maybe any of your English teachers were Australian. It’s specifically the way that you say “no”/“know” (or anything else that ends with that sound)
Hey another Tea person! Earl Grey, hot, with honey and a slice of lemon is how I take mine
I´ve been waiting so long for this video
i love you . honestly. fav youtuber
your yt videos bring me such a peace!!!💫
Your voice calms me so much 😌
ah thank you
Before you said your star sign I tried to guess, and I had two ideas: Cancer or Virgo, and I was right! This makes me so happy for some reason😂♍️
wait when she said people were assuming her star sign i was like "she's definitely a virgo" and i cannot believe i was right because she said that she doesn't relate to virgo stereotypes most of the time
this was both informative and entertaining! awkward shy people club all the way
my god i just related so much with you in this video, i swear that most of our traits and tastes are similar
I can relate!! I’m not native English either and I always slip in to British without noticing😅 (Really bad British too!!!) So I feel you on the Australian accent😂 Love you and your channel Leonie!!🥰❤️
i think it would be interesting if you gave us assumptions and do a poll on them to see what the majority of your followers think!
I always get so excited when someone says they’re an INFP too
Always love these videos! Also, I am Norwegian and I get the same comment about having an Australian accent!
omg I speak afrikaans and when you spoke to your roomate I could not believe how similar dutch is to afrikaans! also, cheese was definitely the hardest thing for me to cut out when I was going vegan it's so hard! Honestly the thing that made me do it is just watching documentaries, the dairy industry is just so awful :( I wonder if there are good vegan cheeses in the netherlands, there's some amaaaaazing ones here in Australia :)
I'm happy that I knew a lot of things. I've watched (I think) every video you've made since you came back, so it would be hard not to know some things.
I've been wanting to know you MBTI, I never expected I will know it here! Glad I watched this video of yours! Btw, Im an INFP too! 😃
your background looks like a pinterest board omg
This was a great video!!!
I’m a Virgo too!
Oh god....I feel like I am listening about myself ❤️❤️ our personalities match sooo much 😅😅😅
Talking about assumptions can be a good ice breaker for social gatherings!
Looooved this! Tim Burton yessss 😍😍
People not studying and passing exams... I'm a world champion at that. I simply get the right subjects, every single time. My greatest achievements were having to read 14 books, only read 1, the questions were obviously about that 1 book or passing exams, multiple choice questions where I didn't even understand the questions or the answers. One time someone wanted to test this ability and just gave me a test from a subject I never, ever learned, right there on the spot. Passed! Barely, but passed.
Love your videos 💕🥺
You are the nicest person I watch on RUclips! keep being you ❤❤❤
(14:34 first time my gaydar was wrong 😅)
Omg I loved the Momo and Appa cat names.
I really like cashew cheese on bread! It's pretty expensive usually, but it's the only really special thing I buy, so I allow myself that :p I've heard We Are the Weather is really good at describing the importance of (partial) veganism in a nonjudgmental way, though I haven't read it yet
i've never tried cashew cheese but would love to try someday!
I'm also not a native English speaker and I was once told that my English accent sounded like an Australian accent! I thought it was funny because I didn't even really know what an Australian accent sounded like at the time :D
I love your earrings! ☀🌙
omg where’s your rings from?? i’m in LOVE with them !!
no waaaaay you definitely don't give off arrogant vibes. love the earrings! where are they from?
I'm an INFP too! I took that assessment early enough in life so I actually take that seriously when largely i think personality assessments are silly. But it's always exciting to find another INFP for me, lol.
Are you kidding me, I was just thinking of showing one of your videos to my hairdresser as an example of the natural redish brown hair colour I want 😂😂
I definitely thought you were closer to 5'10/5'11, not because of being Dutch but for some reason it just made sense to me picturing you (maybe as a tall girl myself)! I am so surprised you are only 5'5.
I knew from your videos that I share a lot of your opinions, but damn; I was not prepared to agree on so much. Also, completely love that accent.
I'm an INFP too and now I'm so happy 😆💜
literal seconds before the height reveal at 15:44 i made a wild guess (in feet and inches, sadly) because those are just the vibes leonie gives, so imagine my shock when i got it right DOWN TO THE INCH
I'm also a tea person !!! I really enjoy the smell of coffee but the taste it's 🤢
Yes, go team tea! ❤️😅
Coffee only tastes bad until your brain associates its flavor with the ability to not have a sleepy migraine. Then you'll start to like it, through the awesome power of self deception. I also totally relate to your crying at moments in stories that are not sad. It is the moments where people sacrifice some part of their self for others that get me, or when they show how much they care. The happy moments are far more tear jerking than the sad ones. I wonder if this is due to some personality trait.
That was kind of an uncanny experience. I somehow knew in advance that you were going to say you were an introvert, an INFP, and a virgo. I'm also very introverted, some kind of weird hybrid of INFP and INTP, and a virgo! Either I've developed psychic powers or the RUclips algorithm knows too much about me 😆 (probably the latter).
I NEED to know where you got those earrings!
I agree that Arrival is not a sad movie in general, I was perfectly fine until the last 10 minutes unexpectedly left me on the verge of tears.
About crying after watching movies, the last movie that made me teared up was Christopher Robin. Funnily, I already watched it the year when it was released (2018, I think), and three months ago I watched it again for the old time's sake. I ended up a mess. All the life lessons hit pretty hard.
I cried by Arrival too!
Getting off cheese is hard and getting into vegan cooking is difficult at first! It gets easier though. Beans and cashews helped me a lot
“Shy and awkward person”
It me too, Leonie, it me.
Your etsy is gonna open around 2am in my country but I hope some of the items are left till tomorrow morning.
Everything in stock is gorgeous! 😍❤️
thank you! and i've never sold out in one night before so i'm sure it'll be fine!
@@TheBookLeo you sold out everything within 4 hours! 🎉🎊🧡 Aah, well...there's always a next time for me 😭 but I'm so happy for you. ❤️
@@sawmea5308 i did not expect this at all 😭 i make sure the next restock happens at a different hour so more people get the chance to buy!
@@TheBookLeo 💛💛💛
UPDATE : I COULD FINALLY ORDER THEM!!!!! 😭🎉🎊 My order got split into two, for some reason, so I had to pay double delivery and I had to fill in my card info 20 times BUT I FINALLY ORDERED THEM. Thanks, Leonie x💕❤️
Wait, I'm 1.65 and really believed you were way taller than me😂😂 My hair was the same before I coloured it. It looked really dark brown, almost black, but in sunlight it had an orange tint.
Is getting a license in the Netherlands even necessary? Cause ya'll have such a great public transport system.
at LEAST 5, oh yessss
Could you make a video about your favourite tv shows/movies/music? 😁
Ok, we are very very similar!!! 95% of what you said is me. Crazy! 🥰🇨🇦
I also sent an assumption 💋on your Instagram story feed 💜🥰 watching here right now! ✨🙌
I'm an INFP as well - for some reason most people I see talking about this on the internet are INFJs 😅 So I'm glad to have found someone who's cast in the same mold :D
Alsooo I guessed correctly that you are a Virgo 😂
Your earrings are so beautiful! 🌞🌛 Where did you buy them?
I also slip into weird accents, usually when I watch a lot of media from a certain area
yay infps together!
The Australian accent thing is interesting! I think it's because the South African accent can sound Australian, and their accent comes from the Dutch colonisers.
I've just found thsi lovely channel. You a re gorgeous and the content you provide is very interesting :D 😍😍
Check out The Band Camino if you’re a fan of indie pop/rock. They’re so good!
Damn I was sure you liked pâtisseries 😂 not even a French éclair? 🥺 🥺 🥺 Your aesthetic gives me the 'rent an Airb&b in a small French town and go every morning to a boulangerie to get bread and a treat' (sorry that was quite specific)
i definitely like patisseries but my preference goes out to savory snacks!
@@TheBookLeo definitely a lot of that in France 🇫🇷 I love your videos 🥰 you are doing an amazing job 😘
