Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 22 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 :)

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

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.

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!
