hello friends and welcome to another reading vlog! this week i challenged myself on a little readathon, trying to read as many books as possible in one week! I also go bookshopping (!!!) at two beautiful new bookstores, so i'm giving you a small 'come bookshopping with me'. AND in this reading vlog you will finally meet the elusive housemates i always mention!

Hi! My name is Leonie and I am a 23 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 :)

My dear friend, you should take a break from books reading and watch some movies. Watch "Memento" (2000, criminal drama), "Outlaw king" (2018, history), "Ex machina" (2014, sci-fi) and first "Tne man from Earth" (2007, sci-fi).

It’s totally normal to get sick after really stressful seasons! Your body’s immune system is on high alert when you’re stressed and when you come down or hit that deadline your immune system does too. I often get sick when I take vacation from work, like my body says “oh, it’s okay to relax now? I’ll go on vacation too” 😂💀 feel better soon!

I really like hearing you read out some Marcus Aurelius! Your voice is so pleasant to listen to while I crochet and I'm so glad you showed how human you are at the end, you admitted you wanted the vlog to end happy and positive but hey life doesn't always go that way. I'm starting a master's degree in the fall and I'm really nervous about meeting deadlines and all that so I'm glad I have your videos to help me get through it, as another student is also doing their best and that's the best you can offer :) gah this got cheesy at the end, you're one of my favourite booktubers and I can only hope my channel look as great as yours one day! :D I love your editing style! So fun :)

My tip for this kind of this is to dig out an old book you love and re-read it at whatever speed you want. Wrap yourself up in a reading comfort blanket. Drink lots of water. But I enjoyed the video. I particularly liked one shot in the bookshop where I'd read two out of the three books in shot: Girl, Woman, Other and Unsettled Ground. (Vanity, vanity...all is vanity!!) I haven't been to a bookshop since the pandemic started so that was a nice thing to see.

Hilariously, in the back of my mind I was a little excited because I was like "oh yes, I will be in bed all day and can read." Yeah no that didn't happen. Just get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids, hope you're feeling better soon! Thanks for such a lovely lovely video (and I LOVED the ambient lighting so much!).

The mall thing - I don't know about the whole of Europe, but in Poland people like them a lot, they like to build them and spend time in them, every bigger city has one, or two, or in the case of my city, Cracow, 5 or something :D and always the next one that's about to be built has to be bigger and fancier of course. Personally, I can appreciate having all the shops in one place indoors, but in general hate going there, just too many people, too many lights, bright colours and music.

@MeronPan4 3 жыл бұрын

Indeed! There're many malls in Europe. Spain is full of indoor and outdoor malls, I've also been to malls in the UK, France and Italy (there's some famous ones). I really want to visit Poland, I've got many polish friends living in Barcelona 😍

There're malls in Europe, Spain is full of them (indoors and outdoors), and at the top of my head I've also been to indoor malls in the UK, France and Italy, actually some of them are famous and visited by tourists! It's true I haven't seen them in the Netherlands but I wasn't focused on going shopping when I visited haha Btw, Stradivarius and Pull&Bear are spanish brands from the same family "Inditex" which also owns Zara, Zara Home, Bershka, Oysho, Massimo Dutti and Uterqüe 🥰
