Books & Lifestyle Fun!
I'm an American born & raised in Germany - so I grew up bicultural and bilingual. This channel is my little playground of a second channel. Topics will be whatever I like :D

Would die for a video that shows how to make this all 😭
Omg, I loveeeee the Inkworld trilogy too growing up 🥹 Really cool to finally see it in the booktube space ❤💙💚 Did you read her other books too? Like the Mirrorworld books (if I'm not mistaken). Love the video and your collection of Everyman's Library books 🤩
thank you for the video
thank you🤗

"forgot my charger so I had to read" 🤣😉 Auch wenn Deutsch meine Muttersprache ist, lese ja auch am liebsten englische Bücher und komplett englische Bücherläden fühlen sich immer an wie ein Paradies! 😍 Sea of Tranquility möchte ich auch unbedingt noch lesen sowie Babel. Btw, welche App(s) benutzt du eigentlich, um Hörbücher und e-Books zu leihen? Wenn ich mich richtig erinnere, hast du das mal in einem anderen Vlog erwähnt, dass du sowas nutzt?
Libby! Mit der online library card von Boward County Florida 🫶🏻
@@MoreRebeccaElizabeth Danke! In Deutschland scheinen die nicht jede lokale Bibliothek zu haben... aber vll finde ich ja doch eine mit einer großen Auswahl an englischen Büchern! 😄
I wanted to love Yellowface. It is about important issues, but it felt pretty surface level to me. I’m glad you liked it !
I know what you mean! While reading I did have moments where it felt to “first person” but I loved how much I hated the protagonist 😂
Welche App nutzt du, um Audiobooks und eBooks zu leihen/kaufen? 😃
Ich lese das Buch gerade und es gefällt mir bisher auch richtig gut! habe deinen reading vlog sehr genossen, gerne mehr davon! ;)
No because for a second I genuinely thought this was a carrot 6:31
I also liked Before the coffee gets cold. And I cannot wait to get my hands on Sea of Tranquility, it is quite high on my list. I just finished The Empress of Salt and Fortune, which was disappointing for me, and now I'm reading and enjoying Convenience Store Woman, let's see how it goes. Cannot wait for your reading vlog to hear more about your experience of Yellowface and Sea of Tranquility!!
The vlog is edited and coming end of this month 🥳
Love how you simply called R.F. Kuang Rebecca lol. Such a good reading month(s), I appreciate how short and concise these are 😊
I just have to, especially since we share the name 😂
Thanks for the great reviews! Happy for you to meet so many good books. I'm gonna check out Babel now. 😊
I LOVED Babel 😍
Oh man, du glaubst nicht, wie froh ich war, dass du Camp Zero UND Firekeeper's daughter nicht mochtest :D Ich habe beide Bücher damals für einen deutschen Verlag gelesen, weil wir ggf. an den Rechten interessiert waren und naja... ich mochte beides nicht, also konnten wir uns das Geld sparen :D
Ja..waren einfach nicht soo geil. Fands sehr schade, hatte für beide große Hoffnungen!
Have you read Kindred by Octavia Butler yet? I think you might like it. :)
No haven’t heard of it! I’ll check it out!
Giovanni's Room steht schon länger auf meiner TBR-Liste, aber nach deiner Beschreibung habe ich jetzt echt Lust bekommen es zu lesen! Im Moment lese ich The Hero of Ages von Brandon Sanderson und Clockwork Princess von Cassandra Class. Beides sind jeweils die letzten Teile von Trilogien, die mir sehr gut gefallen haben :)
I really liked Take My Hand
Giovanni's room is on my TBR. The firekeepers daughter was too, but hearing your review, I feel lazy to read it. I really cannot stand inappropriate relationships, especially in YA, since you're basically in the end giving only representations on how to relate to others in the "wrong" way, that's not going to make you feel safe and loved and free and that's not what teenagers need. I'm reading a few books at the same time, but I haven't finished much recently cause I've been reading very chuncky books like Earthsea, which I dnf'd😅 and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrel, which is quite funny although it can't be compared ro my last year's fave Piranesi, by the same author
Ooooh Piranesi is also on my stack! So excited to dive into it - probably will be a fall read 🤗
Nie zu spät für ein Wrap Up! 😄 ich lese gerade "10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World" von Elif Shafak, kann ich bisher sehr empfehlen 😊
Hehe das freut mich! Ja, Elif Shafak mag ich auch richtig gerne 😍
Hallo Rebecca 😊 Leon’s Produkte und Empfehlungen haben auch mir viel geholfen.😊 Bleib am Ball! Man muss Geduld mitbringen und liebevoll zu sich selbst sein 😊 Schön, dass Du auch solche Themen thematisiert ❤!
In Germany you can’t terminate after 12 weeks?! In the UK it’s 24, and as late as necessary if mothers life is at risk/there are severe birth defects so the baby won’t survive after birth
I looked it up - it's 22 weeks! And if medically necessary also past that, but that wasn't the case for Lily, so I didn't feel I had to mention it.
Do you plan on reading the sequel (It starts with us)?
Still thinking about it 😂
To tie up the loose ends you NEED to read the second of the duology
I guess I might have to 😂😅
I don't think Ryle is meant to be likeable at all
Great job. Thanks 🙏.
I have a wallet some what like that from Fossil it all leather. Love your sun glasses they look good on you.
That's an interesting take on When Breath Becomes Air. I didn't sense that he was enduring the the toxic culture of the system because he glorified his calling but it certainly is something that definitely needs to be addressed in training for those prestigious careers. He does put a lot of stock in aspects of that part of his life, but I'm glad he was able to find some sort of meaning from it.
I think I was also a bit hypersensitive because I just quit a toxic environment 🤣
Habe diesen Monat auch Babel gelesen - finde du hast das Konzept/den Inhalt gut zusammengefasst - darin bin ich letzte Woche ziemlich gescheitert, klang einfach nur weird😂 Aber ich fand es auch mega😍 D.h. du kannst gern noch mehr darüber reden 😂
Es ist auch nicht so einfach zusammenzufassen 😂 Dann muss ich wohl ein Reading Vlog machen 🙆🏻♀️
I also just finished Babel last weekend and I found it awesome. It's one of these books that not only did I enjoy it, but also I think it's a wonder and it's so clear that it took a lot of research and work on top of the story of the characters and I also love the message and I think it's so important. Very exciting hearing you talk about it when it's so fresh in my mind
Hello! Really nice, interesting and enjoyable wrap up! As for your feedback on World War Z, I don't know if that would be exactly my cup of tea, but I certainly can relate to the pandemic related train of thought. A couple of weeks ago I read through "The Plague" (sorry don't know the exact translated title in englis😅) by Albert Camus, in which the protagonist recounts the events that lead to, and that occurred during a plague pandemic in an Algerian town (fictional). Might seem pretty obvious, but it really hit me to find out that, aside from technological development, we are not really different from the past when it comes to basic, human needs. I know, not the most incredible discovery, but still, reading such things coming from someone writing in 1947 is...heavy. Oh, and Babel sounds so great, and right up my alley hahah. Totally wrote that one down in my list, thanks for the recommendation
Ooh I’ve heard great things about that book 🤗 It is fascinating to realise that humans have always been the way we are today 😳
I love watching skincare routines :D Especially since I personally can never stick to one xD
Es ist so schön, dich über Bücher sprechen zu hören! Warum liest du eigentlich fast nur auf Englisch? ❤
Es ist für mich ein Möglichkeit eine Verbindung zu meiner Kultur aufrechtzuerhalten 🤗
It is so interesting to me to watch your routine because I am not into skin care at all. I am sixteen years old and usually only use a cleanser, a bit of a creme against pimples on some spots sometimes and like an oilier creme against dryness. And in summer I try to think of sunscreen :)
That is very enough for you as a 16 years old girl. Don't over do it. 😍
As long as you use sunscreen, you're doing enough!
I love your second channel ❤ looking forward to more book content ♡
You shouldn't apply niacinamid on top of vitamin c serum. You can apply niacinamide in the morning and vitamin c in the evening or vice versa.
Whispering reviews is a new thing 😂 Loved the video! This is now higher on my TBR
Hope you enjoy it!
I found the misunderstandments between the protagonists sooo frustrating, becasue both had good intentions, but were not communicating properly most of the time. I guess that's realistic, so it's not necessarily sth to critizise on the book, but I just don't like feeling so frustrated, cause I feel the should be on better terms, for how much they care about each other. I did enjoyed it, but I was a bit disappointed. Probably because I had very hight expectations after seeing so many people recommending it. But hearing your thoughts, I actually agree with everything. And I love the part of Sadie right after the tragedy happens and how she deals with it. Nice vlog! And nice ASMR at the end haha
Ich liebe deinen Bookcontent !!
Das freut mich 🤗
*Thoughts on 90s feminism vs. 2020 feminism are of course based on my experiences alone - so also the experiences of a white/white-passing family and white surroundings.
Yeah, an other book video! 💚 I really enjoy you talking about the stories and your reading experience :) Do you have any recommendation where to buy english books - especially older ones which aren't published anymore? For a philosophy class we've got the advise to read some fiction by Iris Murdoch. The translations into German aren't very good - in my opinion - or at least from the 50s-70s and the German is kind of unintuitive. So I wanna try to read the originals but I'm kind of lost to find them.
The best collections imo are on bookdepository.com - it belongs to Amazon, but I can usually find anything I’m looking for there 🙆🏻♀️
@@MoreRebeccaElizabeth thanks! :) I already found the books over there
Congrats on finishing your degree!
Thank you!! 🥳🥳
Love the book video! Looking forward to more of these!
Congrats on getting your Master's degree. I've been thinking about reading Tomorrow x3. I've read two books by Zevin and enjoyed them.
Will definitely be picking up more of her books!
Thanks for the recommendations! I'm particularly intrigued by Beasts of Little Land honestly, just sounds fascinating😊. Oh, and, I reckon you're going to love Die Wand, I read that as part of my german literature course at uni and I devoured it. Truly a gem😍. Currently I am reading Strange Beasts of China by Yan Ge, and so far I can totally recommend it: it's basically about a cryptozoologist recounting stories about the various species of "beasts" that live with humans in this huge metropolis in China. Really, really interesting, and, as of now, entails a lot of metaphorical reading-levels.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Master! 😀 Als deutsches 2000er Kind muss ich dich einmal korrigieren, denn iCarly war auch hier eine extrem beliebte Serie zu der Zeit!! Sie lief auf dem deutschen Nick! Schön, wieder Büchervideos von dir zu sehen, du machst das immer sehr toll! 😊
Kannte tatsächlich keinen, der Nick DE bekommen hat 🥺 Haha aber schön, dass dir die Book Vids gefallen, habe sehr viel Freude daran 🫶🏻
I am such a fan of your book videos ❤
Thank you Rebecca!
Coincidentally, I was just on a very similar trip - except my friend does her microbio pdh in Cambridge, not Oxford. No original Harry Potter shooting spots there but the vibes are the same. Loved revisiting London through your lens. ✨
Du hast mal wieder sooo viele spannende Bücher bei dir einziehen lassen! Hauptsächlich freue ich mich aber riesig, dich wiederzusehen! Hab ganz viel Spaß bei zukünftigen Videos!
Meine to read Liste ist gerade um einige Bücher gewachsen 😂😂
it happens 😂
