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 :)

THE OUTFIT IN THE FIRST CLIP YOU LOOK SO GOOD!!! and also 9:45 the cover of your book matches your surroundings how do your videos manage to be so aesthetically pleasing oof if it’s of any consolation: the more you get closer to the end, the more the priory of the orange trees really speeds up pace-wise!!

I felt the exact same way about Truly Devious. I was so excited about a murder mystery boarding school storyline and then got kind of disappointed. I'm also doing the yoga with Adrien challenge haha. It's so damn hard to do it everyday though. I loved this vlog so much!

Omg you also use Storytel? I'm listening to The Vanishing Stair using this app right now, i really like the series. I relate to what you said about the books completely though - it's not THAt good but I literally want to listen to them all the time. The characters are straight out of Tumblr aesthetic moodboards and honestly - I love it

OMG. I absolutely agree with you on the ALIEN thing, that's one of my personal pet-peeves! It is both arrogant to assume aliens will be similar to humans, but also highly unlikely - humans became superior beings on Earth through an extremely complicated evolutionary process, under a unique set of circumstances (changes in climate, catastrophic events, etc.), and even then there were so many pitch-forks along the way, where life was as likely to go into lizards, dinosaurs, etc. direction as it was to go into mammals. So to think that life on the other planet with its own different set of circumstances went EXACTLY the same way shows a lack of imagination and ego-centrism. Have you read "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem? It is a case of alien life being nothing like we can imagine, the life of a planet as a single intelligent organism. It is a lit bit slow-paced but very thought-provoking!
