I love how many videos you’ve been posting lately and recognize the hard work and time that you are putting into it all! your efforts never go unnoticed and are always appreciated! Love you Des!❤❤❤
i love how dramatic and expressive ahe is when she talks about books, both good and bad. she never wants to totally destroy a book, but makes it known if she doesn't like it. love you destiny!!
Girl I felt the same way about red rising. I was lucky to have my husband right next to me while I read it because he has read the series multiple times so he was my walking red rising google to explain stuff. I’m currently on the newest book and I still feel dumb sometimes even though I love the series.
You DEFINITELY need to read the debutantes duology by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, it's so so so good with so much rich people drama, plot twists, amazing but complicated characters and secrets AND THE WRITING!!! I loved it wayyy more than the inheritance trilogy, which everybody loves.
I've been loving the added skits/ just overall quality of your vids recently! have been watching and loving u for over a year des, but recently the content has just been a MASSIVE step up! love u bestie, keep it up 🫶
Des would love a video talking about your notion page/ how you organize and plan on there! (Also Im a librarian and please know that you should never stress about going in and asking for help! Anxiety really sucks so just be assured; everyone I work with would literally bend over backwards to help someone and make the library a welcoming space! ❤😊 )
vicious was originally a standalone; vengeful came out several years after vicious. i personally liked vengeful lol but vicious could definitely just be a standalone. VE Schwab has so many other books though and they're all different, she's one of my fav authors! a darker shade of magic is really good
destiny ive been loving the way ur doing these reading wrap ups!!!! having the info in the corner is so helpful…. i appreciate knowing how much if any spice there is in a book!!!! thanks for doing what u do des
Summer for me is more busy because I’m out and hanging out with friends. Reading minimally but loving the quiet moments where I feel like reading! Winter is when my reading hours go looong
The quality of your content is so impressive at this point! I appreciate the book info you put in the corners. The only thing is that YA is an age range rather than a genre, so The Naturals' genre would probably be YA mystery/thriller :) Keep up the good work!
I just finished ACOWAR yesterday! It took me so long to get into it then i literally cried the entire second half. I know its a reread for you but idk if i could read the first 50% again
Behind the Net was such a good book. The Author wrote another small-town romance series that was really good as well. The first one is "That kind of guy". I really enjoyed that as well. :)
I started reading red rising in June and haven’t finished yet. I agree with you 100%. It’s great writing but difficult to keep up with. Maybe I’ll give it another go. So many people have been loving it so I want to love it!
July was a teeeeerrrible reading month for me because it was the last couple of weeks of my college's summer semester!!! And since that ended about a week ago I've already gotten out of the slump
Vicious will always be standalone for me, the second book was so unnecessary, and even though i will probably read the third book when it eventually comes out, Vicious is the only one i plan on rereading in the future and i will always look at it as a standalone
A count of mist and fury The last letter Inseparable Behind the net The natural (series) Children of fallen god Red rising Vengeful Then she was gone To love Jason Thorn
could you potentially call the library and ask them to renew your card? i work at my local library and many people call everyday to renew their card and over the phone it only takes about three minutes !!!
I literally had the first book of the naturals in my hand at barnes today! But then decided to do some research on it (which I still haven’t done) but this was enough to convince me to read it!! Now I’m excited!
let’s take a moment to recognize how much she’s been posting lately. I literally dropped everything I was doing and sat down to watch this. destiny all of your videos are so good and we can tell how much hard work u put into them🫶🏻
I audibly gasped when I saw you rated then she was gone 2 stars. I didn’t read it yet but everyone rates it so highly that I was taken aback when I saw what you rated it.
I can't wait to check out The Naturals, that book seems right up my alley! It's funny, I liked Vicious but I loved Vengeful, for pretty much the reason you said, I loved the characters and wanted more of them. Plus I loved Marcella lol. Don't worry, you're not alone in feeling unintelligent, I feel that way all the time. Doesn't help that I surround myself with smart people :/ haha.
honestly same, i hated all the books i read this month. most i never finished. so not dnf’d but yeah. i only read “the bone season” by samantha shannon. that’s it. im just waiting for my two new books to come in, which they we’re supposed to come in yesterday, but yk gotta give it chance. ilyyyy ❤
I just read ACOTAR for the first time ever and I’m obsessed!!!😭 like I completely understand how most books are influenced by it now and I just feel so stupid for putting it off for so long!!
Amazing review😍. I'm literally obsessed with your videos and you're definitely one of my favourite booktubers. I hope you have a good reading month in August.

Omg, yes! I read Vengeful in July as well and it was the most pointless sequel ever. Also gave it 2*. It was so obvious she wrote Vicious as a standalone and sequel was just an afterthought, because Vicious was popular.
I feel so seen. I felt the same way with "Then She Was Gone". I rated it a bit higher (3.5🌟) because it was still an entertaining read for me once I got to the second half so I'll give her that. But I felt the same way about the twist that I honestly think that it must have been intentionally. That you were supposed to know who did it and then follow their actions and how the family missed them. That's just my theory though. Also, I forgot to comment this on your last video but I do enjoy when you put the time and date in certain clips!
destiny’s content just keeps getting better and better
Yess so true
I totally, 1000%, unrelentingly, agree
I agree wholeheartedly.
i agree
Agreed that her content is fabulous…it’s just so hard to listen to the gravelly voice sometimes. Is she sick?
I love how many videos you’ve been posting lately and recognize the hard work and time that you are putting into it all! your efforts never go unnoticed and are always appreciated! Love you Des!❤❤❤
Can we just appreciate how good des's videos are?
i love how dramatic and expressive ahe is when she talks about books, both good and bad. she never wants to totally destroy a book, but makes it known if she doesn't like it. love you destiny!!
Can we appreciate Destiny’s emotions towards the books she’s reading. Also props to you on all your hard work!💜
I LOVE how she mentions the spice rating because I've been trying to avoid reading spice and this was super helpful!!
Same ❤
Same!!! As a believer this was so Nice of her to Write that!! Hopefully she’ll Continue this!!
same

Thank you Des for working so hard on these videos for us! Your editing is top tier and high quality. We appreciate you!
i loveeee the end/beginning of the month when all the booktubers upload their wrap ups
You DEFINITELY need to read the debutantes duology by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, it's so so so good with so much rich people drama, plot twists, amazing but complicated characters and secrets AND THE WRITING!!! I loved it wayyy more than the inheritance trilogy, which everybody loves.
is there any romance in it?
Actually, anything Jennifer Lynn Barnes is good.
I've been loving the added skits/ just overall quality of your vids recently! have been watching and loving u for over a year des, but recently the content has just been a MASSIVE step up! love u bestie, keep it up 🫶

July was a bad reading month for me too, I only read one book! Your videos always motivate me so I have a feeling that August will be better!!
your editing and content has been INSANE lately i’m obsessed
destiny ive been loving the way ur doing these reading wrap ups!!!! having the info in the corner is so helpful…. i appreciate knowing how much if any spice there is in a book!!!! thanks for doing what u do des
destiny we appreciate u so much putting so much work into your videos and posting so consistently!! ily💗💗💗💗💗
that alarm sound in the intro gave me ptsd but it’s fine because destiny sidwell posted !!
girl the alarm at the beginning gave me war flashbacks 😭
Summer for me is more busy because I’m out and hanging out with friends. Reading minimally but loving the quiet moments where I feel like reading! Winter is when my reading hours go looong
So glad I’m not the only one having a hard time understanding and getting into Red Rising. I know everyone loves it and i want to too!
mother has blessed us with 3 videos in a row

feeling blessed by all these videos lately!!!
I'm reading Behind The Net, and it's so good so far!
I just finished ACOWAR yesterday! It took me so long to get into it then i literally cried the entire second half. I know its a reread for you but idk if i could read the first 50% again
Thanks for all your hard work on pumping out these new videos destiny! We really appreciate it
I completely agree about Then She Was Gone! I discovered Karen Slaughter last month and I LOVE her writing. She’s a great thriller author!
i love ur lil intro skits they’re always so entertaining to watch
Behind the Net was such a good book. The Author wrote another small-town romance series that was really good as well. The first one is "That kind of guy". I really enjoyed that as well. :)
I started reading red rising in June and haven’t finished yet. I agree with you 100%. It’s great writing but difficult to keep up with. Maybe I’ll give it another go. So many people have been loving it so I want to love it!
des’s sweats are always so cute I need them
Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of my favorite YA authors!! I read the Debutante Series by her in high school and loved it!
Same I love her the inheritance games and the naturals are her best
July was a teeeeerrrible reading month for me because it was the last couple of weeks of my college's summer semester!!! And since that ended about a week ago I've already gotten out of the slump
Des’ vids are always amazing, the frequent posting lately makes me so happy❤
destiny posting makes everything better
Vicious will always be standalone for me, the second book was so unnecessary, and even though i will probably read the third book when it eventually comes out, Vicious is the only one i plan on rereading in the future and i will always look at it as a standalone
It is so validating that I wasn’t the only one that didn’t like Then She Was Gone!! The plot twist was so obvious to me
Anyone else always just click the like button before watching des’ vids because they just know it’ll be good
red rising series is one of my favorites of all time, new book of the series was published a few weeks ago!
des!! THIS IS UR COLOR!!!! sage compliments u so well
If you’re that anxious about going into the library, they should be able to renew your card over the phone!
I'm so happy you loved the Naturals! And you should totally read the debutant series! SO GOOD! my jaw was on the floor at the end of the second book.
i love your new style of videos! the little skits and bits (bahahaha idk what they’re called) are so fun! and the fun editing!
OMGOSH I just read the first two Naturals books and I LOVED it
Also really appreciate how you put the spice rating 💛

I think you’d be proud, Des. I recently read Fourth Wing and Ate It Up and purchased the blue slush Alani, and it’s sooo good.
could you potentially call the library and ask them to renew your card? i work at my local library and many people call everyday to renew their card and over the phone it only takes about three minutes !!!

Destiny’s videos make my day so much better
I'm happy you posted. I've been having such a bad day 💛

YAY! Your my favorite UA-camr ever you are so raw and just seeing a smile on your face brightens my day I love you so much 💗💗💗
let’s take a moment to recognize how much she’s been posting lately. I literally dropped everything I was doing and sat down to watch this. destiny all of your videos are so good and we can tell how much hard work u put into them🫶🏻
Destiny: idk why I’m using my kindle unlimited so much!
Also Destiny: I’m on a serious book buying ban so I can deal with my physical TBR
😭😭😭

also if you love chipotle you will loveeeee cava!! it’s like a mediterranean chipotle and it is literally so so scrumptious
The second I saw this I clicked automatically! I’m so excited I just finished the week in my life ! ❤️
I audibly gasped when I saw you rated then she was gone 2 stars. I didn’t read it yet but everyone rates it so highly that I was taken aback when I saw what you rated it.
hey Des! I love your videos so much, you are just so sweet and i find your content so comforting 🫶
I loved the information at the bottom corner for these
I can't wait to check out The Naturals, that book seems right up my alley!
It's funny, I liked Vicious but I loved Vengeful, for pretty much the reason you said, I loved the characters and wanted more of them. Plus I loved Marcella lol.

The way I immediately smiled seeing you posted ❤️😂
I just read ACOTAR for the first time ever and I’m obsessed!!!😭 like I completely understand how most books are influenced by it now and I just feel so stupid for putting it off for so long!!
it’s the way my only 6 star reads are both Rebecca Yarros books😅 the last letter tore me apart
For Red Rising, he did recently release a graphic audio which might help you! It's like listening to a movie lol
Amazing review😍. I'm literally obsessed with your videos and you're definitely one of my favourite booktubers. I hope you have a good reading month in August.
my favorite things is watching destiny’s videos 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I really appreciate the spice ratings cuz sometimes i dont wanna read spicy books
Check if your library has a digital card…that’s what I got for mine, but all libraries are different…good luck!
The spice levels are so helpful!!
That alarm in the beginning of the video gave me war flashbacks
im definitely trying the naturals thanks desti, love uuu
another post!! i’ve been blessed fr
Des talking about behind the net: “I can’t remember names”
Des talking about the naturals: *says every single main characters name*
If you like Fleetwood Mac & books with good music references, you should read Hook Line & sinker by Tessa Bailey if you haven't already :)
Des uploaded = day made !!

I loved Red Rising. I’m in the second book right now. I do think the second book is a little more difficult for me.
You’re literally so funny ur editing style has me giggling every 2 seconds
A YA Criminal Minds like series?! Count me in!! I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this before 😳
Destiny always makes my day❤ I hope you know how great you are Des❤
I loooooved the last letter it made me cry like a baby😭
Guys it’s officially august season swifties are coming out of hibernation!
“If there’s one thing I’m gonna have, it’s an opinion.” Hah I love this quote so much 😄
Those Wattpad days were me in HS! 😭😭😭 Also I’m currently reading ACOMAF and I’m loving it already!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for including the spice level again!!
Omg, yes! I read Vengeful in July as well and it was the most pointless sequel ever. Also gave it 2*. It was so obvious she wrote Vicious as a standalone and sequel was just an afterthought, because Vicious was popular.
I feel so seen. I felt the same way with "Then She Was Gone". I rated it a bit higher (3.5🌟) because it was still an entertaining read for me once I got to the second half so I'll give her that.
