I'm getting a lot of questions about why we're not wearing masks, so i just want to remind you all that we live in the Netherlands! Not only have measures been loosened here because our numbers are down, the measures that we do have in place are efficient according to our medical professionals (it just doesn't involve masks). Every country handles this differently and I of course want to encourage everyone to follow the guidelines your medical professionals have advised! Thanks for understanding!
I understand that and my country has less cases than yours. But remember that politicians can make mistakes and its important to wear a mask. Furthermore, youre an influencer and even if you dont need to wear a mask its good to set an example.
@@sharbear3866 I get what you mean, but I work in a bookstore too and literally no one wears a mask. Some people wear gloves but that's it. I don't think you get what life is like here: everything is (and has been) open normally, people still distance but no one stays inside anymore, the government basically gave the OK for everything (cinemas, museums, travelling within the country, no distance if you're under 17). It doesn't make sense that she should have to wear a mask even though it's clear she doesn't live in the US
Gwen the cases in the Netherlands are extremely low. They followed policies when they needed to and now they don’t. Not every country behaves like the US.
It gives me such a feeling seeing people living normally, it’s so strange. In Brazil the cases are abnormally high and I haven’t been outside the house for about 4 months now :( This video was amazing and it made me feel happy, thank you Leo, this was awesome ♥️
I live in South Florida, so being able to see that there are others whose lives can go back to normal and actually go out is both uplifting and also incredibly frustrating. Thank you for this video, it makes me feel like I’m there as well ❤️
I’m in a neighboring state to you and our cases are sky high. It’s so frustrating to see other countries opening back up safely and knowing that America saw their good examples early on and just...chose not to do anything right. It feels like no end is in sight here and it’s so depressing
im from new york so things are beginning to reopen. it makes me so sad that states like florida are experiencing what i did in april, total shutdown. i agree its very frustrating
the fact that u can go around to different bookstores and not wear a mask cause ur in the netherlands vs me in california being scared to go to the grocery store makes me so happy for u but sad for america 😭 btw love ur vids their so relaxing and well made 🥰
omg SO many bookstores in one street?!? Need to visit! Those photos on the map are my fave thing ever haha I've heard nothing but amazing things about The Fifth Season! It's also still on my tbr!
Okay last comment, I promise 😂 Leonie you made such a nice video and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it 🥰 you are a wonderful friend and I had a lot of fun with you in Leiden! I wasn’t feeling too amazing today and this video cheered me up so much 🧡 can’t wait to see you again!
I always really enjoy going out to book shops looking for a certain book or two. I also live in a small town, so I don't often find the books I want. But then the "I'll get this book instead" feeling kicks in, and I have four new books I didn't know I wanted to read. :)
5:29 seeing With The Fire On High and asking myself why I didn’t buy it because ELIZABETH ACEVEDO (but then I remember the 150+ books on my physical tbr and then I’m okay again lol)
oh my god!!! Deltora Quest was my first fantasy series too!!! I love it so much! The riddles and mysteries CHANGED ME as a person!!! First fictional romance i got super invested in too!!! God SO GOOD!!!!
deltora was my absolute favorite as a kid! i was constantly checking them out at my school's library. i havent heard anyone else talk about them before
Great video once again Leonie :) I am happy that you are safe during ongoing pandemic :) Stay blessed and keep up the good work. Your videos are addictive to me I was already wondering why there isn’t new upload yet ;) And here are you once again :)
Hahaha ik zag de thumbnail van deze video en ik dacht: OMG DAT IS LEIDEN!! Hahaha! Ik woon ook in Leiden en dit is ook altijd mijn route 😂 Ik houd zo ontzettend veel van Kooyker 😭💕💕. Ik kom oorspronkelijk uit Alkmaar, daar hebben we ook een boekenwinkel die dezelfde vibe heeft en mijn vader nam me altijd mee naar die boekenwinkel toen ik jonger was ☺️ dus Kooyker voelt gewoon een beetje vertrouwd 💕
Ik moest lachen met het kleine dorp in Nederland... Leiden is geen klein dorp. Ik woon in een klein dorp, de enige boekhandel die wij hebben is De Standaard (België)....
De Slegte! Daar kom ik graag voor tweedehands boeken! Nu kijk ik regelmatig online naar hun tweedehands voorraad. Museum of Broken Promises heb ik een tijd geleden gekocht, nog niet in begonnen maar leuk om hem in deze vlog te zien!
That was fun. I'm so jealous, i have to drive half an hour to get to a book store, and it's a big brand. THEN i have to drive another half hour for a used bookstore, but it's a big box corporate one as well. America! lol I've been meaning to read those Asimov scifi books you pointed out. Those editions you have over there are so much nicer than the ones we get here. And I also have but haven't read the Fifth Season. I know she won the Hugo 3 times in a row for that series.
Such a lovely video! Loved Deltora Quest as a kid! Our whole school was into it which was great, but that also meant it took forever to get to the top of the wait-list at the library 😂
Omg I love this painting from Caspar David Friedrich! Had a few copies of it hanging in my room at my moms but need to have it in my apartment as well now that I saw it in your video 😍🥺
3:23 Awww you skipped over The Witcher. It's my favourite series :( Asides from that lol, this video is very interesting and fun to watch, all those book stores are so nice. Where I'm currently living, all the bookstores just look pretty much the same and have the same content inside so that's kinda boring, but I'm moving to a new city soon so that should hopefully change.
if you really want to shop for fantasy, sf or any other speciality book in english go to the ABC (the american book centre) in the Hague or Amsterdam. or off course visit Donner in Rotterdam 😎
This was wonderful to watch because in my small town we have only one bookstore and it's the Bruna 😰 there is literally ONE small shelf for each genre.
DELTORA! Dang, probably i should find all the remaining books and read it XD I have the... fifth? Book of the series (I do remember there is a cool looking monster on the cover.) Iirc it's a little bit "simple" for my taste now but hey, i have (kind of) a nice memory of it.
@@TheBookLeo excited to hear what you think about it on your reading wrap up, or perhaps vlog? Haha. Btw Leonie, Poppy War (the audiobook and ebook) is available in Storytel. I remember in your vlogs you listened to some books in the app, right? Or are you in the buying-and-having-the-physical-copy-of-the-book mood? 😏 hahaha happy reading!
Deltora was the best! I would love to read it again, but I am afraid I would not like it that much. :) Also, those are some beautiful bookstores. There are not that many in my surroundings, unfortunately, so I mostly buy books online. I love that in some of them, they still pack the books in paper, I remember that from my childhood only. As for the masks.. In the Czech Republic, it currently depends on the region you are in, but in mine you only need to wear the masks when you go to a doctor or to a hospital. For now.
I'm amazed by how fluently you both speak english!! Is it usual to speak english in your country or is it more like a self-taught thing? I'm curious🤗 Anyways, thank you for making this kind of videos, love to watch them!! Greetings from Spain💐
Yes I loved the Deltora Quest series as a kid! Did you know Emily Rodda is actually a pseudonym and she's written some adult crime novels as well under her real name Jennifer Rowe? Great video 😊

"A mistery, some dragons, a son/daughter of a king and a queen banished from the kingdom, must seek revenge, bla bla bla" (I mainly read fantasy books, but i've noticed this problem is EVERYWHERE. At least in fiction.) The last book of which i read the back was my best friend's book and I could TELL it wasn't something written by her, but by the publishing company. So fake and boring and not catchy at all! I mean, if they could talk a little bit about a cool but not so spoiler-y particular of the book or what makes the book different (I don't know, a sword and sorcery book that talks about a mage that tries to stop a mundane warlord instead of the inverse that iirc is the norm) it would definitely be better.

Applause to Sabine 👏 Which sci-fi series ? Asimov's Foundation or Arthur C Clarke's Rendezvous with Rama (the Rama series is slow and kinda of boring, would not recommend)
Ay qué, bonito español niñas, qué bárbaras! I just bought The Poppy War 👀 life has been so busy lately that it might just take me 2 months to read it. So. Hi. See you readalonging!
Was this filmed recently? It’s weird as hell for me to see that masks aren’t mandatory or even used there. I’m in Portugal...we have to wear masks in public especially shops. Gives me anxiety watching this..😖
Yeah, my province in Canada is a similar size to the Netherlands, has way less cases, and it's still the norm to wear a mask in public and you don't pick up and put down books in shops (only touch the things you'll buy). Interesting to see how different places are dealing (or not) with the virus...
Leuke vlog, ik had geen idee dat er zoveel Engelstalige boekenwinkels waren in Leiden, dat ga ik zeker onthouden. :p Je hoeft je verder echt niks aan te trekken van al die opmerkingen over mondkapjes btw, met hoe vaag alles is lijkt het me prima als je gewoon afstand houdt. Volgens mij werd het juist ontmoedigd omdat iedereen anders denkt "oh ik heb een mondkapje (dat ik constant met mijn handen aanraak) dus nu kan ik gewoon in iedereens personal space staan", en dat is echt precies wat ik in andere vlogs zie - sowieso heeft iedereen die het wel "moet" toch telkens hem om zijn kin hangen en dat lijkt me veel schadelijker. :') Anyway, ik hoop dat je je niet teveel van die comments aantrekt!
I'm surprised to see my little town in the video! Love the old map, and the choices of bookshops! Mayflower truly is amazing, they even have a small LGBT+ section tucked away in the back!
"my hobby is book buying instead of actually reading"
Yea. Same 😁😁
T R I G G E R E D
I felt so triggered and attacked at that sentence because I recently bought over 20 books and haven't even picked up one yet. LMAO.
How true is that!! 🤭
I’m not alone?! Thank God.

I'm proud of you for keeping your self control haha
This is such a cute idea!
oh my god!!! Deltora Quest was my first fantasy series too!!! I love it so much! The riddles and mysteries CHANGED ME as a person!!! First fictional romance i got super invested in too!!! God SO GOOD!!!!
That’s a lot of bookshops for what you call a small town! Great vlog
I live in a small city and we don't have that many bookshops and none of them have that many books. I'm so jealous and it looks so pretty.
Never saw this video idea🤔Thanks for inspiring me🥺❤️ keep up the good work and stay safe.
thank you
I loved the Deltora's Quest series when I was younger!
Hi I'm from México and it's very sweet and kind of funny how you guys try to pronounce the name Elizabeth Acevedo
Btw I love very much this vlog 💕🌟💕
haha i hope we didn't do it wrong!
Lol I love your "book route" so much.
Great video as always
You are my favorite RUclipsr. Thank you for posting on my birthday, this has made my morning!
ohh happy birthday!
Thank you!!
deltora was my absolute favorite as a kid! i was constantly checking them out at my school's library. i havent heard anyone else talk about them before
1:26 omg our faces 😂😂 i died when i saw this haha
lolol yes i couldn't find a flattering screenshot so i thought oh well let's just choose something funny
omg the piano 😍 all the bookstores look so cute!
Great video once again Leonie :) I am happy that you are safe during ongoing pandemic :) Stay blessed and keep up the good work. Your videos are addictive to me I was already wondering why there isn’t new upload yet ;) And here are you once again :)

And I also have but haven't read the Fifth Season. I know she won the Hugo 3 times in a row for that series.
I used to bookshop like that in downtown Manhattan. They're all gone now, so I'm a little envious of you and Sabine. Thx for the video, enjoyed.
found your channel a few weeks ago and I have been binge watching all your videos since! and I’m waiting on your bookmarks to arrive 🥰
also I’m currently reading The Fifth Season and I too had no idea what it was about before reading!
i'm loving the book so far, it really is a book that's nice to go into blindly!
OH MY GOSH I READ THE DELTORA QUEST BOOKS TOO AHHHH
9:06 I feel so called out 😭
Such a lovely video! Loved Deltora Quest as a kid! Our whole school was into it which was great, but that also meant it took forever to get to the top of the wait-list at the library 😂
Omg I love this painting from Caspar David Friedrich! Had a few copies of it hanging in my room at my moms but need to have it in my apartment as well now that I saw it in your video 😍🥺
And yes i LOVED Deltora Quest when I was a kid, but I only read the first one and now all the following books arent available anymore 🥺
Using what I guess is an "ancient"/ancient looking map to show us the route is really a nice touch!
thanks! :D
Oh yeah, the Foundation series by Asimov is a really good one! Also the various books about Robots are great as well!
You should read mistborn by brandon sanderson if you havent already!
i loved this video so much!! as a bookworm, i really enjoy these videos, because i sadly don’t have any friends who share the love of reading 🥺
3:23 Awww you skipped over The Witcher. It's my favourite series :(

this makes me miss Leiden and the Netherlands so much !!
YES! I think so many of us can relate to this--and how much do we all love secondhand bookstores?

Wow that’s awesome to see all those bookstores!! I only have access to one bookstore in my little Texas town 💔
I love hoe je gewoon in dezelfde week NOG een keer naar de slegte bent geweest hahahahahha
hahaha ja altijd even kijken of ze wat gems hebben
i literally just purchased the poppy war!
ohhh that's cool, hope you enjoy it!
I also read Deltora as a kid!!! I thought it was just one of those series that you find in a library and nobody else knows about...
Ohh I’m going to write down all these shops for when I go to Leiden again!
Those bookstores look so stunning
The map was funny an cute
Aaah I loved this video! Also I miss just browsing bookstores so much 😭
I read Deltora as a child as well!! 😀
omg that little bookstore is in leiden holland i live there its amazing!!❤️❤️
Yay for second-hand shopping!
Love this, I went to the exact same bookstores when I visited Leiden last week haha

1:28 OMG this map i love it
it's an actual old map of Leiden, so cute
The cover from the floppy book with dutch words I didn't understand looked like Sapiens' cover.
The way she pronounced Acevedo was good, the spanish classes paid off.
to go into the broken earth trilogy not knowing anything is the best way to start it!
I live in a place where they have so little English books ,and the ones they have are mostly nonfiction and some classics.
Such a fun bookshopping vlog😍

The Museum of Broken Promises has an interesting title.
I shall put it into my TBP (to be purchased) list.
Along with the other... 15/20 books.
Ok but that dude in the outlet pop up store 👀 esp w the sun shining behind lmao

Loved this video
11:03 👏🏻
I want to go bookshopping so badly *cries in californian
8:00 oh boiiiii, the descriptions on the backs!
I have STRONG OPINIONS about them XD
Usually yeah, they're really... boring and they use the most classic and stereotyped ways possible to talk about the story.
"A mistery, some dragons, a son/daughter of a king and a queen banished from the kingdom, must seek revenge, bla bla bla" (I mainly read fantasy books, but i've noticed this problem is EVERYWHERE. At least in fiction.)
The last book of which i read the back was my best friend's book and I could TELL it wasn't something written by her, but by the publishing company. So fake and boring and not catchy at all!
I mean, if they could talk a little bit about a cool but not so spoiler-y particular of the book or what makes the book different (I don't know, a sword and sorcery book that talks about a mage that tries to stop a mundane warlord instead of the inverse that iirc is the norm) it would definitely be better.
you live in the cutest town ever wtf 🥺
Oh my God!,I wanna live there
Ha! Je woont zo dichtbij! Kooyker is mijn favoriete boekhandell
What makes you want to read a book in english versus deutch?
usually i want to read in the original language, but when it comes to non-fiction i actually prefer a dutch translation because it's just a bit easier to understand
Do you really have such a small TBR that you can justify buying a new book as soon as you’ve finished one? 😍 You are goallssssss
OMG ELEANOR IS ONE OF MY FAVES TOO I RECENTLY REREAD IT AHHHHH
I’m so jealous that you have the US cover of Blood Heir in the NL, I haaate the UK one 😂
That floral tote bag is beaut 🤩
I was meant to read The Fifth Season for a book club recently but... didn’t 😅 the little bit I read was so beautifully written though!
Omg Sabine saying book buying is more of a hobby than book reading is a mood 😂
8:04 jajajajaja love it
So lucky shops are open where you live!
Ik ben heel jaloers op een land waar je nog uit kan gaan. Blijf gezond Leonie en allemaal
Applause to Sabine 👏
