Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 year old girl from the Netherlands who loves talking about books! From YA to non-fiction to classics, I read it all (although fantasy will always be my fave).

Hi. Quick question. If you could name one book, just one, what would it be? the one which always stays with your memory of reading.
Link to thrillers leads to Alexandra Roselyn thriller recommendations. At first I didn't notice because I watch you both.
dear book Leo...read NIGHT IN ZAGREB by Adam Medvidović,,,my secret gem
When I was 11 my school's librarian recommended me a translated classic and I fell in love with reading . Now almost 13 years later I'm just 2 exams away from finishing my bachelor in library and information science 😭 . I really love this kinda video , maybe somewhere someone became a reader because of you 💙
Way to go 😍
That's lovely 🙂 Which classic was it?
@@Arawn505 Frankenstein by mary shelly . I read it in my mother tongue so it was easy to understand for me at that age . My barely 12 year old self asked her to recommend me something written by foreign writes to sound cooler than my classmates 😭😂Lol, but I guess universe had plans 💙
Ayo great
That’s so nice 😊
An upload should not be able to make a person this happy🥹
🤌🏻👍🏻
Another good tip is to start with a reread. No one stops you from getting back to the childhood favourite - sometimes they don't hold up, but more often they do. My first audiobook ever was Winnie the Pooh, because I wasn't sure if I will be able to focus on listening. Several hundred audiobooks later I circle back to children classic when ever I feel in a mood for a quick, cosy read.
fantasy:
Shadow and Bone (Leigh Bardugo)
The Final Empire (Brandon Sanderson)
Howl's Moving Castle (Diana Wynne Jones)
War Cross (Marie Lu)
thrilling:
Truly Devious (Maureen Johnson)
If We Were Villains (ML Rio)
engaging:
The Secret History (Donna Tartt)
The Yellow Wallpaper (Charlotte Perkins Gilman)
contemporary:
Radio Silence (Alice Oseman)
Girl, Woman, Other (Bernardine Evaristo)
audiobooks:
Daisy Jones and The Six (Taylor Jenkins Reid)
romance:
Book Lovers (Emily Henry)
Written In The Stars (Alexandria Bellefleur)
Finding Audrey (Sophie Kinsella)
nonfiction:
Im Glad My Mom Died (Jeanette McCurdy)
thanks!
exactly the comment i was looking for
Thank you 💓😊
For anyone that’s read and loved Howls Moving Castle, I’d also highly recommend Diana Wynne Jones’ other books! My personal favorite is called Fire and Hemlock, which is about a girl who suddenly remembers a whole secret life she had had when she was younger- it has themes of mythology and romance and it’s great!
Yesss! I also recommend The Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones. It gives similar vibes to Howl’s Moving Castle and I love it so much!
Completely agree!
Also, her audiobooks are awesome, especially Howls moving castle and the others in the series. The narrators Howl is hilarious 😁
I thought Fire and Hemlock had sorta different vibes from much of Diana Wynn Jones' work. I think it's because most of the books I read by her were children's books, whereas Fire and Hemlock was written for adults. It took me a while to grow into that one, but every time I reread it, I like it a little more.
What I've always loved about her books is the fact that she doesn't underestimate her child readers. She creates quality stories that never grow old even on the third reread. She's really one of my favorite authors and really shaped my childhood. Even now, I have phases where I just go back and reread every one of her books that I can get my hands on. I love the entire Chrestomanci series, especially The Magicians of Caprona and Charmed Life. I am also a huge fan of House of Many Ways, which also features Sophie and Howl. I love Stained Glass, the entire Dalemark Quartet and the book Power of Three.
@@ronniejones3719I completely agree!
The series that got me to reading fictional books, was “a series of unfortunate events” by lemony snicket
I never forget the feeling I had when I read the first book
It was a MAGICAL experience ✨
Same 🤌
same ! to this day that’s still my favourite series ever.🎉🎉
omf me too!!!
i recently got into reading again thanks to a friend and your videos. the books she recommended me were all the drama i was looking for, plus your enthusiasm with breaking a book down for a video really inspired me to really focus on what i'm reading to undestand what's going on and how it ties to larger arching themes. i'm glad to say these things have really turned reading into a mindful experience where i'm able to feel seen while escaping and yeah, thank you for having this channel with such fun witty talk!
Thank you!
I actually get back to reading after years without reading, feeling that was a part of me that was missing and your channel helped me a lot!
Love the anesthetic vibes you give to your videos as well.
being a child who used to love reading and read loads of books, I lost the passion as I entered highschool when my academics got too hectic, but recently I found that joy of reading again thanks to the Lunar Chronicles. I finished Cinder, Scarlet and Cress so quickly and will be reading Winter once I submit my assignment. I miss this joy and excitement I get from reading fantasy. Will definitely check out these reccommendations of fantasy books!
The Renegades series by Marissa Meyer is also really good! Her writing style is super accessible so she's a great recommendation for people who are trying to get back into reading!
I feel like everybody has lost their passion for reading when they have to do in high school or middle school.
@@seraphina1724 I just saw this comment omg my apologies but I do enjoy Marissa Meyer's writing so I'll def check it out! Thanks for the recommendation ☺️
The Lunar Chronicles really was such a fast paced and interesting series so it was the perfect series to get me back into reading again.
You literally inspired me back into reading so thank you so much ❤
Without you, I wouldn't have such beautiful stories I've read stuck in my memory
You're my fav youtuber ^^
I probably have a huge diference in time zone from the majority of everyone here because Im from Brazil but, I feel soo happy that every time I wake up to school and get ready on a monday, I have your videos to relax to and make my day less hard, thanks soo much Leoni ❤️❤️
Also great book recomendations! I’ve been trying to pick up reading a lot again but O think Im not finding the right books, definitely give theses ones a try!
This is such a perfect video! The editing, seeing the books, the notes, the simple descriptions 👌
I nearly cried when you recommended Radio Silence, Alice really helped me to regain my love for reading, and especially that one I hold really dearly to my heart. I strongly recommend it too (just maybe check out the trigger warnings first!). Thank you for this video, I gathered lots of new books for my list! 💕
Your channel got me back into setting reading goals and trying new genres. :) Great video to wake up to! Have a great week, Leonie!
I think I watched your video on dark academia books back in october and I read 34 books since then. It wasn't only your video, I implemented a lot of changes in my approach to reading to help me get back, butmfinding your channel def helped a little bit. We are not always in agreement about which books are actually worth the time, but I'm very happy that I started reading again. I was reading 1-2books a year and I read 34 in 6 months. I'm really happy about the number, but also the quality of the books and how much fun I have.
This is such a brilliant video!! You always manage to hit the spot with your recommendations and I love that you also pay attention to the people who are new to reading. I have already read some of these and absolutely second them :)
this turtleneck + blazer combo is show stopping ♡
im currently reading howls moving castle and it’s definitely helping me get back into reading! i recommend it too
This single handedly made my day, thank you my queen
Same
a new video is the start to my day. Great recommendations
YESSS THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY BY UPLOADING!
Shadow and Bone got me into reading, I had tried to get myself into it already before but never achieved it until this book, and now I absolutely love it! Reading is my favourite hobbie and Fantasy my favourite genre and i’m sooo greatful for this book
When I was a child, I read a lot and very fast. I believe that's also the reason why I'm pretty good at school and especially in my native language. When I got my phone in fourth/fifth grade and started having less freetime, I stopped reading basically completely, only occasionally reading books I got as presents. Last year I went shopping with my friends and picked up One Of Us Is Lying. It was my first book in English and my first book in a while, and because it was so easy to read, I ate it up very quickly. After that, it kind of spiraled and now I'm back in the game :D So happy to spend my time reading more again
I loved reading as a child and spent most of my summers doing so but dealt with horrible mental health as I got older and lost my love for reading. I have had a few times where I read a few books here and there since then but until last summer was unable to stick to reading. I definitely made note of many of these and will be checking out your other book recommendation videos.
I also really love your lamp!
The Radio Silence rec was *chef's kiss*. It's my favorite Oseman novel. I felt so seen by it, and I loved the friendship in it.
A little unrelated, but I love the way you talked about the books and the different genres in this video. I felt like you genuinely do have an appreciation for all different types of books and that you really do love reading
So many of these are already on my TBR list! This makes me want to get to them all the more
This makes me want to re-read The Yellow Wallpaper. I remember reading it when I was in year 12 literature class and I hated it so much. But I hope that ten years later, I'll actually really enjoy it more and understand it more. Edit: Also to add, I would recommend manga, comic books or graphic novels if that's your jam. I've found them really easy to get through, accessible and understandable. Really loving Rainbow Rowell's She-Hulk, and also will highly recommend Squirrel Girl, I found that easy to get into. Mangas I love atm is Heaven's Design Team (you also learn about animals which is cool), Haikyu!! and Spy x Family. Graphic novels are different to comics, as comics have both issues and trade paper back (tpb). TPB's are a book that is a collection of 6 or so single issues, whereas graphic novels are just one story contain within a book.
so powerful & (gulp) vastly engaging
perfect recommendations as always!! thank you leo ❤
these recommendations are so on point and i love how you describe them!! immediately adding the yellow wallpaper to my tbr 💗
you would love it!!!
I love your videos and your voice is so soothing and expressive, Leonie❤
Did not expect Final Empire there 😅 I've read most of these, so I can totally agree with the recs! Spot on ✨
So i just ordered The Folk of The Air Series because how much you complimented it, so you're good at selling. And because of this video my wishlist just got 10x thicker, so thank you and no thank you at the same time. Love your vid, thanks.
I got into your videos after the is tiktok ruining reading video and I have to say I'm happy I clicked! Also, I love how you take care to say what kind of person may want to read a book when you review and recommend books. Like, it just feels like you put a lot of thought into it and it shows how perceptive you are. As a library tech student and book lover, it warms my lil heart. :)
The Final Empire completely changed the way I looked at books. Five years since I read it, and The Mistborn Trilogy is still my favourite series of all time. I love it with all my heart, it's the reason I absolutely love fantasy.
When you said “better in audiobook format” I knew it was going to be Daisy Jones! I’m anxiously waiting for the library audiobook to be available (25 more weeks 😅). I LOVED reading it, so I can’t imagine how much I’ll love listening to it!
The book that got me back into reading was the vanishing half by brit bennett; definitely recommend! Such a good book.
Ah I really needed this video thank you so much 😍🥹🥹
My absolute favorite scifi fantasy series is the lunar Chronicles. It is amazing and I really think you would love it
YES!!! Not enough people talk about the Howls Moving Castle books! I loved the movie, but the book is even better. One of my favorites for sure
Thank you for the recs! I've been looking for starter fantasy books, bcs I can't find myself get into fantasy easily, so maybe one of these recs will work for me :D
Book Lovers was such a good romance rec imo 😱👏 I saw someone say in a review that it is like the perfect romance for virgos and now I can’t unsee it, haha! Only romance I’ve given 5 starts to so far
I'm listening to the audiobook for truly devious and I'm loooving it. I usually don't like thrillers but this is the perfect mix of mystery and fun so it's balanced and not too creepy!
I've loved reading during my time in school just as much as I love it now, it never stopped for me. 😊 Instead of hanging out with friends during breaks I'd go to the library with the book I brought from home, which really wasn't all that often, maybe 5 times throughout the entire time I was in that school. The result was that, after school, my friends followed me through the city one day when I was going to the bookstore and confronted me in said bookstore about how I behaved weird... because I went off to read a couple times. As if reading was abnormal, as if wanting to spend some time alone or doing something else instead of the usual thing was abnormal. So they ignored me for some time because they didn't believe me when I told them that everything was fine, because they took me tending to a different hobby other than walking rounds across the schoolyard very personally. 😅
I got inspired by your comment 🥹
Ahh I'm in such a reading slump now, I am finishing up a few books but have no idea what to pick up next. Cant wait to listen to this ❤❤
def get daisy jones on video...
i just entered a slump, and 2023 is my year where i get back into reading, so thank you for this video ! :D
I loved listening to this while having a little nap ( i dont sleep just relax) and guessing what books you are going to recommend with that description
I'm so glad that Brandon Sanderson and Diana Wynn Jones got mentions in these videos. They are two of my all-time favorite fantasy authors.
Love the vibe of the video, I think it’s really cute :) great suggestions in terms of books as well! 🫶🏻
OMG I may have done a little happy dance when you recommended Daisy Jones and the Six. I looooved that audiobook! It totally plays like a podcast ❤
This was great, a good list of books to try a new genre ❤
The folk of the air trilogy sent me into a fantasy obsession
Controversial but I actually found it so confusing that I didn’t like it 😭 I read it after the grishaverse and going from that to folk of the air was like so jarring I could not keep up with it at all, maybe I’ll try again one day but I just do not have the mental capacity for high fantasy like that LMAOO
@@bethanyblonder i mean its YA fiction, not to complicated but i get what you mean
For romance books my all time favourite is the hating game. It got me both into romance and audiobooks. The narration is honestly one of the best.
neil gaiman has a lot of great books too and they're easy to get into! I'm still recommending good omens to leonie hehe
Aw Book Lovers was the first romance that I read!! I loved it and it made me want to read more, it made me happy that you recommended that one. I have been looking for a good one to follow that up that will also make me laugh
I so agree with you on audiobooks. The choice is very personal, more so than printed books I think. I sure can't hold a heavy, complicated book in my head while walking or doing chores, which is when I enjoy audiobooks.
Found a random book called Into That Forest in the teen section of the library when I was around 11. It remains one of my favorite books but no one knows about it. It definitely made me wanna pick up more books to try and find another as enjoyable as that one.
I've always loved reading so, naturally, I decided to study literature at uni for 5 years. I finished 2 years ago and honestly, it wasn't until I discovered your channel like 2-3 weeks ago that I realized how burnt out I was. My mind had turned reading into this profound undertaking and I forgot that it can just be... fun. A few times, while watching a video of yours, I suddenly thought "I can't wait to read now", so I paused the video and grabbed a book (I always go back to finish the videos so don't worry lmao). You just make me feel so inspired and excited to read, and I haven't felt like that in forever, so thank you ❤ I'd only read 7 books in 2022 but since discovering your channel, I've already finished 3 😊
she's the best!! i'm so glad you found her channel. no whistle & bells. just consistently high caliber content with delightful delivery. my FAVE booktuber...
Fellow Lit grad here and SAME. Last year I really started reading for pleasure again and discovered so many incredible books. Some of them “literary” eg my old professors would approve of lol but a lot of them just fun, page turners with great characters.
I defo want to start making a couple of book vids too
our Dutch girlie with the sponsorship for the amazing book box that's not available in Europe, way to rub salt in the wound 😭
As always, amazing recommendations with a great insight into "who might like what", thanks a lot for this video Leonie! I really appreciate the way that you noted that Shadow and bone is a bit generic and better for people who are more into YA or just new to the fantasy genre - I read it last year and I was wondering why is everyone so obsessed with it! But now I can really see that it was just that I was not the target audience, since I've been reading fantasy for over 20 years so I just expect more complex worldbuilding from my fantasy books than what the Grishaverse offers. I love the way you put it - while both are good, Leigh Bardugo is for people who are starting with fantasy, while Brandon Sanderson works for the more experienced fantasy reader. Cannot agree more!
i have never heard anyone recommend finding audrey! i had no clue it was ever a booktube book! i adore it, it's so cute
Schools somehow manage to choose the worst books to read 😭
It’s funny you should say that because there was only one book I read from cover to cover in school, and I don’t say that proudly. It was Oliver Twist in my senior year of high school. The rest I read as little of as I could get away with. And I say that as someone loves reading, so I’m not proud of it. Although we did read Poe’s The Raven, which I did like quite a bit.
I have some book recommendations that were not mentioned in this video:
-FANTASY: The WaterFire Saga. This isn’t exactly “beginner because it is a 4-book series, each book being around 400 pages, but it is amazinggg!!!
-SCIENCE FICTION: The Roar and its sequel The Whisper. This is a super underrated dystopian series that is extremely well thought out. It’s also not too long, but not so short that you get done with it too quickly.
-CONTEMPORARY: The Benefits of Being an Octopus. I cannot recommend this book enough. “Beautiful” is not a sufficient word to describe how truly incredible this book is. It’s definitely very deep, so if you want something more lighthearted in this genre, I’d recommend The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City. It’s just a fun little story.
-HISTORICAL FICTION: Listening for Lions. This is a pretty short book, but it’s a very unique story and a wonderful introduction to the historical fiction genre if you have never read a book of this type before. There are also tons of World War II historical fiction novels, which are also really good.
-GRAPHIC NOVELS: The Nameless City. This is a 3-book series that is just… amazing. That’s all I can say. It’s fantasy and it’s super well written, with a really nice art style!
Thank you for your recs! I got into reading last year because of you. Now I can’t stop reading lol. I would like to read a Sanderson book thank you for recommending his book.
Hey Leo, I’m a new subscriber and I just wanna say that all your videos are awesome! I was wondering if it could be possible that you do something like a spring/summer (warmer weather) recommendation book video??? Like something similar to the winter books series! That would be so fun!
Once again, thanks a lot for the effort you do! Your videos are the best! Sending u a lot of love! 💗
The Mistborn series got me into reading again a few years ago, highly recommend!
this is so true
Very good fantasy is also the cruel prince. Super easy to get into and very fun
Audiobooks and specifically GRAPHIC AUDIO productions is such an amazing experience.
I recently gotten a lot of physical books lately since I mostly been reading books on mobile and fanfics, so I wanted to branch out and get back into getting physical books like I used too. And since you said you’re not familiar with Sci-if books, I highly recommend a series called “The Murderbot Diaries” and yes that’s its title I freaking love it. They’re all shorter books (roughly 160 pages at most) and the main character or well robot is very well written and the world is explained nicely in a way that if you don’t understand sci-if esc themes it’s easy for anyone to understand. Another Sc-fi esc story but on the opposite spectrum from darker themes is “Psalm for the wild Built” and it’s another robot based book! It’s more of a cozy fantasy type of story that could be read anytime, but both series do funny enough carry the same theme of robots wanting and figuring out human emotions and ect. It’s really neat how similar the themes are, yet very different the stories are written. As for thrillers I recommend psychological thriller a book called “The Push”, it’s a more slow paced book but also very well written. Unlike the other two this one is more realistic and heavy hitting, so lil warning for that one. But I suggest you check them all out! Enjoy my long book recommendations lol😌
Shadow & Bone is sooo good. Made me fall in love with fantasy
I got camp zero that month too, and I really loved it! I was reall surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
As a long time fantasy reader, if you even slightly enjoy fantasy I implore you to read Robin Hobb’s realm of the elderlings books. They are by far the best fantasy books I have read in my life. Don’t think they’re great for beginners, but if you’re looking for a new fantasy series to immerse yourself in: this is it.
I love reading mostly, fantasy and love all Leigh Bardugo and I'm only 13 and hope to never get away from reading., and would love to try lots of these books.📖😌
I am reading the final empire right now, and im super in love. And im an experienced fantasy reader!!
I've just subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for the recommendations, I'll try to read one or more of these books.
I loved reading as a child. When i went to secondary , reading became enforced, and i slowly grew to not read as much.
Idk what changed , but last year, i discovered Little Beach Street Bakery, which made me fall in love with reading again.
Now here i am, reading books so quickly and going out all the time to read in parks and the sunlight.
for thrillers i will recommend the good girls guide to murder series , young adult so very accessible style of writing and the thriller aspects are really good
Thank you for the recommendations, 👍😊
Howls Moving Castle, and the two books after it (castle in the air and the house of many ways) are both set in the world of howl and are really good too.
Great recs and a good video as always. 😎😎
I was unable to read for 1,5 years and then picked up “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie that I was given by someone who got it as a present but didn’t know enough English to enjoy it. And somehow it has kept me doing nothing but reading for the next 1,5 days. I think it was a combination of things that did it for me. First, it is written in a way that’s easy to read but still engaging. It didn’t feel like effort. Also the way the main character was described was very realistic and relatable. I also felt connected to her because I’m an immigrant myself and even though we come from completely different cultures there were some overlaps in the kinds of bewilderment and struggles. And then it was also educational. I always need things that are bound to reality in some way or another or I’ll get bored. That’s not an easy mixture of things to meet. But also there are lots of lovely books to explore 😊
Once this university semester is finally done, I'm really looking forward to reading for leisure again. I'll read almost anything as long as it's written well. My favourite book in decades has been A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles. I used to be a big fan of Daniel Silva until he kept refusing to retire Gabriel Allon. And, most recently, I've been reading The Song of Achilles. The Lost Causes of Bleak Creek by Rhett and Link, HWPO by Mat Fraser, and Dottir by Katrin Davidsdottir were pretty good too.
Here's why good writing is important. I tried reading this book called The Holiday Swap, supposedly, a Hallmark Christmas movie in novel form. Three pages in, and they used no grammar, the writing was very on the nose, and the author used 'cool' or equivalent words dozens of times. I can't remember any quotes from the book but they were the equivalent of
"Jane saw Brad enter his Audi A5 he was cool the type of guy who wore a leather jacket on air. Why didn't she ask him out?" instead of
"There he was, Brad, the nonchalant, fortuitously wardrobed lunch-hour anchor. His nappy yet ostentatious coiffure danced in the breeze as he swept through the palisade of his status symbol, an automobile that said 'I'm better than you' and, he was. Her longing had dragged for what seemed to be through millennia, why couldn't she muster the words?"
I kept checking my subscriptions to see if you had posted anything. Love your videos ❤
ikr??? last night i was like "donde esta???"

Reading books is my favourite hobby it makes me feel happy,calm and relaxed.
I would recommend the raven cycle
SO GOODDDDD
I also reccomend Dubray: A Readers Year if you dont want to put in too much effort in choosing books and youve read a few already. you tell them what books and genres you have liked in the past, and they choose a book every month and send it to you. I've gotten it twice now and I've loved every book so far.
Memoirs are the best as audiobooks, there´s something magical about an author telling you about their own life.
I have a BA in English … read a lot for college …. But am TRYING to do it for pleasure now … so thanks!
As a side note, audio books of non-fiction read by the authors can be a really great plus. The authors may also add things that aren’t in the physical books.
I just started rereading shadow and bone again 😂 I know it’s not a masterpiece but it’s one of these books I can always read and enjoy, no matter what
For science fiction, I recommend An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green. It's a compelling blend of sci-fi, mystery, and contemporary that has a lot of commentary on social media. The audiobook is also quite good.
After not reading anything for nearly a decade "Aurora" by Kim Stanley Robinson helped me fall in love with books (again). It is a terriffic Sci-Fi book about a multigenerational intergalactic voyage to another planet and the complications that arise. It is half narrated by the female lead, half by the spaceship's AI. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to start reading again.
Thank you so much leonie, I have been in a giant reading slump and want to start up again. These books are very helpful
Btw love your channel❤
It's been a couple of years since I was able to rekindle my love for reading but these are fantastic recommendations nevertheless! 🤗
I got back into reading over the last 5 years - from college to univeristy (I’m in my masters year of creative writing) but the book that got me back into reading was a book we read in school which was The Outsiders by S.E Hinton (I have multiple copies).
God knows how long i had been waiting for her to upload 😅
Looooved this 😍
Also try Buttoned-Up Secretary, British Boss by Susanne James & Standoff by Sandra Brown. Very good books to read 😊
I have read almost every book you recommended, but somehow I still watched the video twice. It was just so ...fun?
