I don't know how the algorithm works but this channel needs to be suggested to a lot more people..... You have the best winter vibes I literally wait for these winter diaries episodes 😍😍love from India
The story about your friend and Legends & Lattes reminds me of when I excitedly told my aunt a few weeks ago that I just bought myself Conversations with Friends and she then proceeded to shout at me that she had already bought it for me for Christmas xD But I feel like this really shows when someone knows you very well! Also I need to stop buying books in December altogether...
Hey Leonie, if you haven’t read The Mysterious Benedict Society you totally should! It was my very favorite book as a kid and I still adore it to this day. It’s like whimsical dark academia for middle grade readers. It’s got a group of gifted kids, a series of tests, an elite school with sinister secrets… it’s totally up your alley. Love your channel so much! Thank you for inspiring me to read so much more than I ever have before! xo
Omg strange the dreamer is probably my favourite book of all time! I'm currently rereading the sequel, muse of nightmares and I'm living my best life. Laini Taylor's writing is stunning!!!
I absolutely LOVE Strange the Dreamer. I have reread it probably 5 times because the writing is just so beautiful and takes you on a whole journey of emotions. I also recently read A Magic Steeped In Poison and really enjoyed that as well!😊
i saw that my library had a magic steeped in poison and i IMMEDIATELY snatched it up because of how beautiful the cover is hahaha i’m also intrigued to see how the tea concept is written because it sounds so unique and fun
I finished my goodreads reading challenge for the year, now just exceeding it. Reading "Echo North" now. Thanks to you and your videos for helping me get back into reading for fun! Hope you have a great Christmas, Leonie!
unrelated to the content of the video but i always absolutely adore your outfits (especially the sweater with the bejeweled shirt collar in the tiktok books video and the pastel sweater in the recent book recs video). would looove to see a video about how you curated your wardrobe and where you got those items.
I'm the exact same way regarding reading during christmas time. Just sitting around the Christmas tree and letting yourself relax always puts me in the mood to read a lot of books.
When you asked in the first part of your reading diaries for winter book recommendations, I had to think of the following (even though it's only a small part of a book) In 'The Wind in the Willows', there are these two chapters where the Mole and the Rat get hopelessly lost in the woods, while it's heavily snowing and night is falling. A bad situation. But then they stumble on the house of the kindly Mr. Badger, hidden away in the snow. He invites them into his home, they have supper, stay for the night in comfy beds and regain their strengths, warm and safe from the winter weather outside. I reread this part of the book a few years back, when we had a long week of snow, and it was perfect. Mr. Badger has such a lovely, cozy home ☺ It's not a problem if you haven't read the rest of 'The Wind in the Willows', this also works as a standalone. It's the third and fourth chapter: "The Wild Wood" and "Mr. Badger" And something completely different: I'm currently reading 'The Catcher in the Rhye', and maybe it's more about other things than winter, but it does take place during icecold December. And the cold keeps being brought up again, sometimes in funny ways haha Like the cab driver talking about the fish in the Central Park lake. Where do the fish go in winter? They become part of the ice! Frozen in one position for the whole winter. How do they eat? What'sa matter with ya, their bodies take in nutrition and all, right through the seaweed and crap that's in the ice. They keep their _pores_ open!
I put this video in the background while preparing for an appointment, and when I heard "team sport" I was like "The foxhole court????" because real recognizes real ✨
Hello I am the friend and I just want to say REAL RECOGNIZES REAL also have you ever read Blame it on my youth over on AO3? It is a Foxhole Court fanfic over 1.2 million words long and I love it more than life itself
@@elineallthefeels9906 I WAS STARTING THAT and then ao3 went down for maintenance ajkdjskaka but I'll probably start it this week, I'm not ready for it tho 😭
@@justjaq2319 Yeah prepare yourself for not doing anything else for a while. I inhaled the first million words in like, less than two months. It is SO GOOD.
It's been a long, long time since I didn't want a video to end. Everything about this video, from the cozy vibes to this beautiful human, makes my day so much better, and yes, I ordered two books within the span of this entire video.
@@fatemehshojay3908 well, I’m actually reading the third book of the trilogy The Folk of the air, and I’m convinced this is my favourite trilogy ever lol What about you, do you have any favourite books?
@@ShutupHaeri Hi there again! Oh I have heard a lot about that on youtube actually, but i will try and read it this upcoming year, but my favorite book from this year would definetely be All the bright places (Finch holds a special place in my heart, charachter from the book) but i also liked Beautiful World where are you.
I feel like you’re going to LOVE Strange the Dreamer. This is the novel that made me start tabbing and annotating my books :) Definitely worth the length!! Enjoy
I bought Strange the dreamer just today for myself!! I've wanted to read it for years now and today I found it at the "Cheap books" store for 50 Kč which is like 2 €. Can't wait to get into it!!
I adore your winter reading diaries videos, they feel so cosy and soothing, thank you so much! Now I'm just a little bit sad that my friends don't read, I would have loved to make a bookish Secret Santa with them (or at least being gifted specially selected books for me, seems amazing 😱)
Happy Solstice! Just wanted to say I’m so grateful for your videos, and your wonderful ideas and opinions, and of course none of those would be around without you as a person in general. You’re appreciated and wonderful!!! Hope you feel much cheer this holiday season 😊❄️
Hi! I happened to stumbled upon your video at 1am, the video of 2 weeks ago about booktok, at just the right time! Because of the overwhelming start I had, trying to get back to reading and TikTok not making it easier so I wanted to say thank you! I get to use my money responsibly since I am an young adult. I am excited to become part of your community because so far reading these comments and seeing your honesty makes me feel comfortable here. Thank you again!
In America we would call the black paper “tissue paper”. Now that I think about it, that’s weird because “tissue” is the same word for what you blow your nose in - but this is a completely different product. 🤷🏼♀️
Ohhh Leonie you’re gonna love Strange the Dreamer! I’ve been waiting for you to read it, I also feel like you’d really like it! So excited. One of my all-time favorite books!
Geniet maar van je drie boeken, Kerstmis en Nieuwjaar. Vele fans zullen je missen maar, wanneer je video’s wederom zullen verschijnen zal iedereen des te meer kunnen genieten. Vrolijk Kerstfeest en Gelukkig Nieuwjaar voor jezelf, je vriend en elk zijn familie. Groetjes van een zuiderbuur. 🎉❤😊
As someone who's had a book stamp for a while, I'd suggest reading a book before you do it because if you decide you don't like the book and want to give it away/donate it, not ideal to have your name in it. However that's just my opinion, happy embossing!
I'm part of a virtual book club and we did Secret Santa too! It's my favourite December activity. I gifted V.S Naipaul's A Bend In The River and Abdulrazak Gurnah's Paradise. ☺️
Oooh if you want dark, atmospheric books with nature / woods vibes you should look up The Trees by Ali Shaw (the cover will grab your attention and the premise, not a spoiler its on the blurb, is that one day the trees basically all wake up 👀)
I think we have the same computer - did you know you can change the keyboard's light color? It's my favorite thing ever. Also, I love this video, thank you for the best vibes.
Wonderful video, so cozy 🤩 tho just in case it slipped your mind, I think your full name is visible in the embossing!! In case you want to blur that or something, just to be safe
I recommend reading no longer human idk if you take book requests but honestly no longer human is probably the best book I ever read. It is VERY depressing though.
Heyyy ms Leonieee, can u read James Patterson especially Women Murder's club series pls. Only if u have spare time or done reading other books. Thanksss, love lots!!
Fence is LGBTQ+! Many of the characters are queer, but for the main character and his 'enemy' its very very slow burn, they're up to volume 5 and no romance between them yet, like they're barely able to call themselves friends yet lol. Its very focused on the actual fencing at times, but all the side characters also make it worth reading. I'm definitely not a sports graphic novel/manga type person but i love this!

the algorithm is...interesting
Honestly 200k+ is a pretty large channel when we’re talking about the booktube community! But yeah she deserves more:)
I totally agree
Leonie has such a chokehold on my life that I now want to get an embosser lol.
100/10 recommend getting one, its so fun to do and I love the way it looks!!
@@jennaallen1256 Omg! planning to purchase it on my birthday too! I even already made my logo lol. Your comment made me super excited to get it.
@@JessanRamayrat I hope you love it!!! Have fun embossing your heart out
If you're still looking for the English word, it's "tissue paper" 😄 Happy holidays!

Yes same!! I love love love StD and Laini Taylors writing, i'm due for a reread, and for DoSaB!
Oh my God! As a tea lover and teapot collector, I need to read that book! Also: you're such a nice pearson...I love your videos ❄️
I absolutely LOVE Strange the Dreamer. I have reread it probably 5 times because the writing is just so beautiful and takes you on a whole journey of emotions. I also recently read A Magic Steeped In Poison and really enjoyed that as well!😊

That is a sign of true friendship, both thinking of getting each other the same books ♡
strange the dreamer is my absolute favorite book!! so lyrical and unlike any other book i've ever read! (legends and lattes is soooo good too!)

I read a Magic Steeped in Poison and loved it! Happy Holidays and thank you for your videos 😊

Happy Holidays everyone ❤

Oh wooooow! You’ll love Strange the Dreamer! It’s amazing! And the sequel is incredibly good too! 💙
ahh same here! the cover art and the word 'steeped' was what caught my attention!! I absolutely loved that book and I hope you do too!! 🤩🤩
8:30 When you opened your rituals advent calender I also opened mine!! And I have the same one with the golden packages, weird coincidence haha🤣
Multiple new recommendations to add to my TBR after this video. ‘A Magic Steeped in Poison’ sounds incredible! ❤
I feel like you’re going to LOVE Strange the Dreamer. This is the novel that made me start tabbing and annotating my books :)
Definitely worth the length!!
Enjoy
My friend just gave me Legends and Lattes today! I've been in a reading slump so hopefully this cozy read with jump start my reading again.
L&L got me out of my slump this month:)
Ik wist niet dat je Nederlands was wth!!! Zit al een paar dagen je video’s te bingen, I love them
such a good cosy little video thank you leonie, enjoy the holidays
LOVING the content these days Leonie!! srlsy the vibes and recs and just seeing ur daily life has been so comforting and cozy
I've been meaning to read Legends and Lattes too. I just started working in a coffeeshop so that seems appropriate.
11:55, in the US it’s called tissue paper, not sure what it’s called in the UK. I often get it confused with toilet paper haha
I bought Strange the dreamer just today for myself!! I've wanted to read it for years now and today I found it at the "Cheap books" store for 50 Kč which is like 2 €. Can't wait to get into it!!

It's such a good idea 💡 having bookish secret Santa

Oooh if you want dark, atmospheric books with nature / woods vibes you should look up The Trees by Ali Shaw (the cover will grab your attention and the premise, not a spoiler its on the blurb, is that one day the trees basically all wake up 👀)
Strange the dreamer is soooo good I just finished it about a month ago! Please do a reading vlog for this.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I think we have the same computer - did you know you can change the keyboard's light color? It's my favorite thing ever. Also, I love this video, thank you for the best vibes.
