I love that this book ‘haul’ isn’t you unpacking a box of twenty books you bought online this week, but instead the books you’ve bought since 2022 started. I feel like those massive book hauls promote unhealthy consumerism and are also just simply not realistic. This feels much more fun and healthy!
Totally, anytime i see one of those videos of someone buying 30 books in a month 15 of wich are special editions I'm like HOW?!? How on earth? I honestly couldn't deal with having 5 editions of the same book
@@winterbutterfly8861 exactly And it always makes me kind of sad because usually at least half of those books are just going to sit unread on their shelf collecting dust
I went into House on the Cerulean Sea like a angry curmudgeon who doubted it would be good. Anyway; one of the children made me cry out of pure maternal love. I love the way this author writes children. It's just excellent.
Yes! I think I cried with the six of them. I also loved how he writes relationship between adults and kids: adults being loving and very protective but letting the kids just being their true selfs, exploring the world and having fun. Omg my preciuos baby Chauncey 😊💚
I love that you shouted out some Booktubers you've been watching, this community is wonderful. I was trying to find some more channels so I'll definitely be subscribing to them!
for japanese literature i think the housekeeper and the professor might be for you. the professor only has 80 minutes of memory left after an accident so human connection becomes difficult however through the language of mathematics he builds a friendship with his new housekeeper
I don’t know if someone already said it but the painting from A certain hunger’s cover is “Ghismonda with the heart of Guiscardo” by B. Mei. There’s an interesting medieval italian (i think) story behind it🫀
Totally get you, Leonie! I love audio books but it's tough when I hear something super cool I want to share and can't underline or annotate to come back to! Great video as always! Good luck wrapping up your degree! :-)
This is kinda random, but I am OBSESSED with everything you wear. I love your aesthetic. And yes, please read THITCS, it's very cozy, and sad but in a hopeful way.
You talking about true trope of a “grumpy middle-aged man who is forced to take care of a child” made me think about a film I recently saw called Summerland. it’s not about a grump man though, the grumpy one in this story is a woman who is made to take care of a child, and it’s a really sweet story about how their relationship unfolds. I would highly recommend watching it 😊
I might have rose tinted specs on from my childhood but i think the og film/series for this trope is heidi, the one where the little girl goes to stay with an old man in the mountains whose a hermit, can't remember if he's her grandfather or just adopts her but he was certainly grumpy!
Old books have such a magical feeling to them for some reason ?!?? Even though we have quite different reading tastes, I always love seeing the books you haul because they always sounds so interesting!
I think you'll quite enjoy Before The Coffee Gets Cold. I didn't have a physical copy of this one and listened to it on audiobook, which was a mistake for me since I became a bit distracted and got confused with the names. Otherwise, I think I could've appreciated this book more than I did unfortunately :(
I haven't read any of these books yet, but I finished reading _The Picture of Dorian Grey_ recently and it has become one of my favorites, thanks for the rec ♡
I absolutely love storytel. The amount of books you find on there, and the amount of books I listen to while doing other things is simply something else
thank u for talking about these violent delights in ur previous videos because it made me actually read it and it went straight onto my list of favourites this year !! also ive been meaning to read some ursula le guin too, i can't wait to hear more of your thoughts on her work!
Watching this video after finishing all my paperwork for college and leaving with a new book to add to my tbr is definitely enjoying the little things in life ❤️
I need to get more into audio books for sure, but I’d probably want to buy the physical copies too so 😬 Always happy to see Le Guin books out there! I have a whole playlist just of my reviews on the books by her that I’ve read, I love her writing so much!
"The house in the Cerulean sea" was one of my fave books of 2021, and I think... it's probably one of my favourite books ever. Loved it. Laughed, cried, all the feels. Very excited to hear your thoughts on it!
I loved House in the Cerulean Sea! I read it last July and it was so heartwarming and cozy. Also the only book thats made me cry in awhile, but that just goes to show how well the character development is done and how Klune really makes you care about this little found family.
I just finished Iron Widow and was about to recommand it to you !! So fun and the main character is so well crafted even if at the beginning I was sceptical, I think you are going to loooove that one
i love cosy rosy reads, i've been watching her videos for a few weeks now! Btw, usually if there's a painting or photograph on the cover, there'll be credit somewhere inside the book, usually on the back or in the copyright section
Thank you for shouting out August @ cozy rosy reads!!! I’ve been watching her for about a year and have seen her grow super slowly but she definitely deserves a lot more viewers! Her videos are beautiful and always super long 😍
I read ‚before the coffee gets cold‘ and absolutely loved it!! The story is very heartwarming and once you start reading you immediately feel connected to the characters. I totally recommend it ❤
literally thought these violet delights by micah nemerever and chloe gong was the s a m e b o o k until i watched this video. 😭😭 i just thought it had two different covers and was sO confused as to why people would describe it so differently lmaoo. also the house on the cerulean sea is so good!! cj klune’s books have such cozy, heart-warming vibes. 🥰 i hope you enjoy it as much as i did!!
the house in the cerulean sea is my fav book that I've read this year!!! it's extremely cozy and warm. you should also try under the whispering door by the same author!! also very cozy, even though it discusses death and grief, I feel like its written in a hopeful tone and is still very funny and lighthearted
The moment you started about shirtless guys on covers, I knew you'd start talking about The Deal!! It's honestly my favorite romance book ever, but sadly the paperbacks are very expensive :'(
Leonie, thanks for the video!! I recently read The Deal with a friend and I really recommend it, specially if you have someone to talk to about it while you’re reading it, it’s really fun! I hope you like it!! Thanks again for the video, loved it! ❤️
I recently read House in the Cerulean Sea and absolutely loved it! I went in really nervous because I had read a negative room that really turned me off. But I got it on my Kobo from the library and fell in love, I got myself my own copy (to annotate of course) the same week. It's so unbelievably good. I hope you enjoy it!
I was so glad when you interrupted the video to give a shout out to creators you enjoy! I find our tastes super similar (my rule is that if you really enjoyed a book I'm def checking it out) and been looking for a while for other creators that match that
Before the Coffee Gets Cold has become very popular, but I didn't like it all that much - felt a bit too on the nose. Some of my favorites: Sayaka Murata has become quite popular in recent years, with one of her books Convenience Store Woman. Earthlings is one of my favorite books of all time, but it can be a very heavy read. Travelling Cat Chronicles is a bittersweet read. The cat has his own POV! The Forest of Wool and Steel is very atmospheric and doesn't have much of a plot, but the writing/translation is absolutely beautiful!
Le Guin!!!! Adore her. I fortunately got to study her back in high school while she was still alive so it was great to pair my research with her up to date views ans interviews. My favourite of hers thus far is the Left Hand of Darkness. So detailed, so beautiful, an absolute must!
yes These Violent Delights is so good!! the writing is excellent, and I barely see people talking about it. Also Ursula K.Leguin and a book about insects? great taste. Will write down all other recomendations
20:50 "I love that trope of the grumpy middle-aged man that is forced to take care of a child. I can't really think of any examples of stories that have this." Me: The Secret of Moonacre, Imagine That ... and Heidi!
ooohhh I recently bought before the coffee gets cold since I've been getting into Japanese literature as well! Definitely interested in your thoughts when you get to it :)
Yesterday I came back from our 4 day trip to Amsterdam and GOOD LORD what was going on at Schiphol yesterday. The line for security check started right after check- in and it took us 80 minutes to make it through security. I was told that it even made it onto the news today or last night. Anyways. On Friday I went to Waterstones and The American Bookseller. I treated myself with Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro (Waterstones had a real nice edition of it) and The City by Stella Gemmel (spontaneous buy because my daughter has the same first name! I started reading it and really am enjoying it!) Oh yeah, the rain on Thursday was impressive. I don't think I ever got THAT wet from rain before!
i read the deal and the whole series by that author years ago and honestly i didn't like them that much, like i love cliché fun romances but all the characters in that series were lowkey mysoginistic to me lmao but hey it's SUPER popular so i hope you enjoy it more than i did !!
hi! there's a bookstagrammer i follow that has a series where she explains books with paintings on them and the painting on a certain hunger is by Bernardino Mei called Ghismonda!
I have been trying to get back into actually reading. Watching book videos is as close as I have gotten. 😭 I wish there was a magic wand to make me read more than 10 pages. I like seeing how excited you get for the books.
@@Follow_a_bee From one bee to another I wish you luck on your reading journey. I’m trying to read my favorite books from when I was a kid to kick it off. Like yeah the book is only 200 pages and the font is 20 point but we are getting somewhere.

100% agree with you there!

*After some pinterest research* I found out that the artist who painted the art featured in A Certain Hunger is Bernardino Mei

Angry curmudgeon lol

off-point: but from my 57 year old perspective, you are CRUSHING IT. you have a great trajectory on your already successful path💕
Yes, A Certain Hunger!! The cover is part of the painting Ghismunda (1650-59) by Bernardino Mei. Ghismunda is a character from The Decameron.
for japanese literature i think the housekeeper and the professor might be for you. the professor only has 80 minutes of memory left after an accident so human connection becomes difficult however through the language of mathematics he builds a friendship with his new housekeeper

these violent delights and before the coffee gets cold are on my TBR from this 🌷✨
I would put them on there...if they weren't already there lol oop 😂
If you haven’t read Kim JiYoung, born 1982 you absolutely should! It’s Korean translation and one of my favorites from last year.
I read it in April and loved the simplicity of it. Really a must read!

before the coffee gets cold is emotional and beautiful

if you love a trope where a grumpy man has to take care of kids you should read a man called ove! one of my favorite books of all time!!

Leonie selling me on Sally Rooney one vid at a time 😆. I've been meaning to read that Leguin too.

One of my fave reads this year! Such a heartwarming book! Love love love! Enjoy!
Read Iron Widow this month! So so so good! It's also a love triangle done right so hahaha
Grumpy man + responsibility of taking care of children trope reminds of the animated movies Up and Despicable Me 💕
I've read a lot of Elle Kennedy's books and I think they're pretty good! Definitely worth a try 😊
I loved Iron Widow!!
I bought before the coffee gets cold today. I got sucked in by the shiny cover 😂
I will be patiently waiting for the day you read conversations with friends 😩😩
20:50 "I love that trope of the grumpy middle-aged man that is forced to take care of a child. I can't really think of any examples of stories that have this."

“Not like, ‘ooo she crazy.’” Really made me lol
