Kind of a random question, does it impact you negatively if viewers skip watching the ad section of the video? I’d love to know if it does because I would intentionally watch it to support you if so. I appreciate sponsors!
Thanks for sharing your favs!
I wondered about that too.
Finally someone appreciating the name of the wind!! It's my favorite book ever
I loved The Dead Romantics just as must. The way it handled grief was wonderful. I also agree that the ex-boyfriend was a major prick.
literally i hated him sm
the moth keeper was a favorite of the year for me too!!! so excited to see another person love and recommend it
I love your content and your book recommendations are always phenomenal. Have a wonderful New Year!
I hope you have a happy new year :) would love to see a writing vlog soon!
I adore you! You can talk about books for hours and I would watch it. It’s so fun how excited you get talking about things you love, I totally do the same thing, and it’s nice to know I’m not alone! Thanks for what you do, and here’s wishing for an awesome 2024!
aahh I absolutely loved In the Company of Witches too!!🧙♀️💗💚
Love this video and your recommendations, thank you!!!
thank you for watching 🎀
Just watched thebookleo’s video and now I’m here. Love both your content❤❤ it really inspired me with my own UA-cam channel
thank you 🤎🤎🤎🤎🤎
IM SO HAPPY YOU LOVED NAME OF THE WIND AS WELL. A lot of my favourite book tubers don’t like it but I’m so glad you do. I literally made an entire video RAVING about that book
Such a magical list! I hope you have an amazing New Year.
One of my favourites this year was Emily Wildes Encyclopaedia of Faries 🎉
In het vervloekte hart was my favourite book of 2023! I saw her speak 2 times last year and one of those was with you around as the second guest, at the bookstore in Drachten 😊
You've definitely listed a few to add to my TBR. I love your videos. One of my favorites this year was The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon. Have a great 2024!
ohhh i have that one on my shelf and i really want to read it but i'm waiting for the summer because it's kinda huge
I refuse to read The name of the wind untill he releases the 3rd book because I dont want to be left hanging like that. Hopefully some day!
Me too.
Just passing to say I love your energy!! 🥰
See you next year for sure!!
Byeee 🌟♥️
I read Amateur this year based on your rec from your video last year and I absolutely loved it - can't wait to see what I can get from this list! thanks for the great videos during the entire year Leora. happy new year
ahhhh love that thank you!!!
I really liked The Vanishing Half. You might like Passing by Nella Larsen.
Im glad out of love is getting appreciation! It came out in 2020 and Hazel is a writer for screenplays and also now books! I've been watching her on UA-cam for years and adored her wit and creativity so like you, I was obsessed with this book. She has another coming out this year and I'm so excited!
Omg I did not know she was a youtuber? Ohhh I'll have to look that second book up then!
Every time that someone mentions that they loved The name of the wind I'm like 'ok, I love this person and I'm going to love this channel' ❤ this was a wonderful video and your voice is so so pretty 💗
I'm so happy to hear that you love The dead romantics. It's great book and I think one of the best books which handles grief.
I loved The Dead Romantics so much. What a beautiful book on grief.
I know!!!!!!
Happy new year!
I have just written down 8 books you mentioned to add to my TBR 😅 sound really good!
My favourite book of 2023 would be either Babel or Ink, Blood, Sister, Scribe ❤
Ooooh I haven't heard of that last one!
The vanishing half is such a good book - if you like that one I honestly think you would love the personal librarian. I just went and added the moth keeper to my cart after you talked about. The tea dragon society series is just so wholesome and beautiful so you didn't steer me wrong! Picking a favourite is too difficult this year I read some stellar books. One that was phenomenal was the lives of puppets by t j klune. I think you would love that one. If you want more kickass women read Clytemnestra or the weaver and the witch queen both amazing reads! And if you want some that gets you in the feels but is also real live, remarkably bright creatures and as long as the lemon tree grow. I could go on but our taste is different so hope you find at least one in there you love!
I own that TJ Klune book so might be time to get to it!
I have 3 fav books for 2023
1) lark ascending - Silas House
2) the things we cannot change - Kelly Rimmer
3) love can build a bridge - Naomi Judd (memoir)
Best wishes with your reading choices in 2024.
thank you 💗
My 2 fav booktubers are friends?!? 🤩😍🤩😍😁 love it
💗💗💗💗💗💗
Leora Aileen?? How lovely...you must have poets for parents. Enjoyed your content. I need to go check out the rest of your channel.
I love your makeup. Could you please tell me what did you use on your lips and eyes?
Cursed Objects is officially on my to read list 👀
highly recommend it's so fun to learn all of these random cursed things!!!
The Wayward Children series by Seanan Mcguire is SO good, and I wish more people would read it. I fell in love when I read Every Heart a Doorway and realized the MC was on the asexual spectrum; my teen self could have used that.
If I had to pick one book, my favorite was Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao. It's the one book from this year that I can't stop thinking or talking about, and the one that's stayed with me the most.
omg I need the outfit details! is it a shirt? a dress? pls
