Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 25 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 :)

    "It really is true what they say that 'college just ends one random afternoon and you don't realize that it's happening.' It's just this slow fizzling out and then suddenly, you're done." -- Sounds like the first line in a dark academia story told from the perspective of a teacher's assistant or a librarian at the circulation desk. Congratulations on finishing your thesis and getting that Master's of Science!

    Trash reading is the best, I’m reading one called “Fantasy Lover” and this spartan man trapped in a book for thousands of years and the only thing he comes out for is to please women, HILARIOUS. It’s so bad but that’s what makes it so good

    I swear your videos brings me immense happiness. I can’t go out and there’s no nature where I live so watching your videos kind of transports me to another place? it’s literally like reading a cozy book and you’re the protagonist. I love all the small things you do like buying a candle, making coffee , visiting libraries, buying books, watching an anime, playing a video game, going for a walk (God how I wish that I could go for a walk). It makes me feel like I have a friend and it makes me experience many things ♥️ the emotions your videos provoke and I can feel your emotions while doing those mundane little things that bring you happiness and bring me happiness in my daily life as well. you’re my favorite youtuber because you’re so real, so you. Love you and never stop making these kind of videos.

    Jane Eyre is a bit more accessible than Wuthering Heights IMO. Wuthering Heights starts off really, really slow, but then picks up and is heartbreaking and an excellent portrait of toxic love. Jane Eyre has more spooky/gothic vibes and has a bit of a slower part towards the end, but is really worth it and it really digs deep into Jane's psychology, thoughts and struggles. Both are really excellent books.
