Anyone who says they do not judge a book by its cover before reading it is straight up LYING! Half my shelf is filled with books that I bought based on the cover lol
I don’t know how anyone couldn’t, I’m sure there are amazing books out there that have ugly covers but IMAGINE how long it would take to research and find them… nope I’m just gonna use my eyes
I hate that mindset of coho hating being a trend as if she isn't extremely misogynistic, stereotypical, (sometimes racist), and romanticizing toxic relationships
The “audiobooks don’t count as books read” thing just really rubs me the wrong way. I’m a busy mom and don’t always have time to sit down and read a physical book, but I can listen to a book while I clean or do dishes or fold laundry or drive around running errands. Not to mention people who are visually impaired, dyslexic, etc. who have trouble reading a physical book. You’re gonna tell them their audiobooks don’t count? It’s just such an insensitive thing to say. We’re all just trying to enjoy storytelling in whatever form works for us.
It doesn’t count because you did NOT read it, you listened to it. However you can absolutely have an opinion about it. Its just the act of reading itself it not there.
Don't think you're effort doesn't go unnoticed Destiny. The skit you made at the beginning of the video and your intro were so creative. And we see how much work and effort you put into your content for us and I want you to know that we truly appreciate it! By the way it's so funny how you pulled up "The Whisper Man" as the hypothetical book you strongly disliked because it was actually one of the books that disappointed me this year. But I totally agree that people do tend to go overboard when they feel strong negative feelings about a book. I just give my rating and reasoning and keep it pushing.
I love your content, even if you say "you are getting these videos" or "I have no ideas", I love watching your blogs, and your summaries, and opinions. I don't have many people who read (in english, or those kinds of books) so being able to have feedback with you is great!!! thanks for your hard work and all your content! PS LOVE BOOKMARK'ED AND SARA AND YOU
I used to feel bad ab DNFing books because of the same reason, but my town has a bookstore that will take your books and give you “credits” to buy new ones!! So I actually end up saving a lot of money on new books!
I have dyslexia, and sometimes it’s hard to understand books when reading them, I’ve listed to almost 50 audio books this year and it feels just the same as reading!
OH MY GOODNESS those clips of you ominously getting your book of the month actually had me nervous!!! 😂😂😂Seriously Destiny - tops points for suspense and entertainment quality! 💞
Hii Sara! I know that you probably wont see this but you, Destiny, and Haley are literally who I look up to, to make me laugh and just help me have a good time during something rough im going through. I thank you so much for getting me into books cause they really bring me into a new world and make me forget all the terrible things going on in my life. Thank you so much ❤🥺🥲🥰
7:36 I know we shouldn't, but like the cover is the first thing we see and we do judge it. It is one of the first thing that attracts us to the book and if it doesnt look right, we'll slip on by
My unpopular opinion is that i prefer longer books and longer series. The longer the series, the more likely itll have detailed, complex, plots with great foreshadowing and character development (when done right). The most satisfying feeling is getting to the end of a long series and reflecting back on where the characters started, and how theyve changed over time to where they are now. Same with the plot.
I think its okay to listen to a book especially if someone is dyslexic or has a learning disability. I have some books I loved listening to and some I love physically reading. When I was a kid in school I had a learning disability where I couldn’t comprehend the words on the page so my teacher allowed me to use audiobooks in elementary and middle school. Now I genuinely enjoy reading!
The “books should not be over 360 pages” opinion made me shook 😨 I love long books and find them really satisfying, although I do agree that thrillers/romances don’t need to be that long.
Completely agree about the audiobooks one! It's like how teachers and TA's will read books to children, for whatever reason. They're still consuming the story, the vocabulary, the grammatical structures, the dialogue and they're still imagining a story the same way they would if they were the one's reading it. Audiobooks absolutely count as reading! Not to mention the fact that the definition of 'reading' was coined in the 1800's when audiobooks didn't exist!
But you don’t read a podcast, you listen to it. How is that any different from an audiobook? I don’t think it’s wrong with audiobooks, but you don’t read them🤓
i love your sketch bits!! i feel like it really brings something unique to your videos that other book tubers don't have. keep having fun with it, we love to see a creative queen thriving
i agree with your take on audiobooks, i think it’s ignorant if someone doesn’t count it as reading a book because as you said it’s some peoples only form as reading. Also people haven’t been liking coho for YEAAARSS on youtube before it was a “trend”
OK girl the ending with Ryle totally get it! Also I completely agree with the whole bookshelf thing, so it’s kind of funny because my whole entire phone and my closet is color organized. I’ve always been like that. I’ve always organized by color and I tried to organize my bookshelf by color, but then you just end up having more colors than other colors and it just doesn’t work so now I just separate it from genre right now.
Destiny your editing skills are chefs kiss literally!! Also can we please talk about the intro of the video??!! You are soo creative! Keep slaying Des!❤
Audiobook vs reading a book is such a weird argument when everyone’s brain works differently. My best friend is an auditory learner & im a visual learner & if I tried listening to an audiobook there’s a 0% chance that I will be paying attention or remembering any part of the book but my best friend gets all the information because she can just listen and store it without getting distracted..But beyond that, I know people in my family who have dyslexia, why should they have to miss out on reading just because reading words on a page gets confusing and jumbled?
Lol omg some one dog eard my copy of the book of the dead! It was just one page by I get an eye twitch every time i think about the crease on the crispy clean pages
That little book of the month skit was AMAZING!!! That is my favorite skit I have seen to share a sponsorship. I love getting to see your creativity shine!
6:45 This is such a common ISSUE 😫 It’s hard for me too because I keep feeling like (it’s been soo boring so the good part HAS to be coming any minute now) And I feel like I’m gonna miss something if I stop but then nothing good ends up happening.
I feel like only people who are not readers say that listening an audiobook is not reading. I seriously think it's a form of jealousy. What other reason would you have to say it. 🤷♀
Destiny I want to thank you for all the videos youve made that have really gotten me into reading, and while im going through something tough your videos just make my day and make me laugh especially when you say im not good at math in like every video 😂
everything is going right these past few days!!! speak now tv's came out! and everyone's posting new videos!!! love you des!! my favorite part of this video was the "what" to i liked ryle😭😭 but i do know your on a book buying ban but i have a red for you! it's the with me series by jessica cunsolo, it's an enemies to lovers romance but there is so much more!! the protagonist, amelia collins, is hiding her true identity and everything! ( that's not a spoiler it's on the back or towards the beginning)i cant say much more without spoiling it but this series has given me the hugest book hangover and i think you might would like it!!
You can’t even get hardcovers in New Zealand - just a weird large version of a paperback. So annoying because sometimes I want a hardcover version or a cute edition but nopeeee
I completely agree that listening to an audiobook counts as reading it. Sometimes I don't have the attention span to go all the way through the physical book or get tired so that is when I switch to an audiobook so I am still reading. Like you said, regardless of the format you used to read the book you can still participate in conversations about the book and know the plot points. Thanks for another great video!
Destiny, I do love audiobooks. I guess some audiobooks level up the whole experience. Some of my favourite books that I have given 5 stars where listened as audiobooks like Tuesdays with Moorie, Carrie Soto is back and Know my name.
i love annotating books and seeing my first thoughts bc i rarely reread them. some people actually analyze while i just write little thoughts and notes
the little book of the month skit gave me life, you’re creativity is my favorite thing
I was thinking the same thing - so cute!
Same
yesssss
The Pup running behind Destiny was the cutest thing ever
Deserves more recognition for this!
Anyone who says they do not judge a book by its cover before reading it is straight up LYING! Half my shelf is filled with books that I bought based on the cover lol
i agree !
Some of my absolute favorite books were because I judged it from the cover 😂😂😂
I don’t know how anyone couldn’t, I’m sure there are amazing books out there that have ugly covers but IMAGINE how long it would take to research and find them… nope I’m just gonna use my eyes
I don’t judge books by their covers. I’m blind though lol so I never really know what the covers look like. 😂
I hate that mindset of coho hating being a trend as if she isn't extremely misogynistic, stereotypical, (sometimes racist), and romanticizing toxic relationships
The “audiobooks don’t count as books read” thing just really rubs me the wrong way.

Sammeeee❤
well it doesn’t count as reading a book because you didn’t read it, you listened to it
thisssss.
I hate that argument as well

i actually also disliked the whisper man so twins! lmao

Des, you could just record a video of you talking nonsense and I would watch it. Literally you are my comfort booktuber❤ love how real you are
This was edited so nicely. Another great video
I used to feel bad ab DNFing books because of the same reason, but my town has a bookstore that will take your books and give you “credits” to buy new ones!! So I actually end up saving a lot of money on new books!
That sounds so cool
I have dyslexia, and sometimes it’s hard to understand books when reading them, I’ve listed to almost 50 audio books this year and it feels just the same as reading!
OH MY GOODNESS those clips of you ominously getting your book of the month actually had me nervous!!! 😂😂😂Seriously Destiny - tops points for suspense and entertainment quality! 💞
You are literally the most relatable person I have found on booktube! Seriously,when you post I have to stop everything and just watch your video!!
DES WHY ARE YOU SO CREATIVE WITH YOUR INTROS AND SPONSORS. I LOVE IT.
I am living for the direction your content has taken recently. These skits give everything! 💛
Genuinely from the bottom of my heart thank u sm for this upload
Hii Sara! I know that you probably wont see this but you, Destiny, and Haley are literally who I look up to, to make me laugh and just help me have a good time during something rough im going through. I thank you so much for getting me into books cause they really bring me into a new world and make me forget all the terrible things going on in my life. Thank you so much ❤🥺🥲🥰
omgg hi i just finished watching ur vid and came over here 🩷
7:36 I know we shouldn't, but like the cover is the first thing we see and we do judge it. It is one of the first thing that attracts us to the book and if it doesnt look right, we'll slip on by
Omggg I can’t tell how much comfort she gives me just by her videos !! Love u 😘💘🥺
i love post-book slump des. we’re getting alllllllll the content and i’m so here for it 🫶
My unpopular opinion is that i prefer longer books and longer series. The longer the series, the more likely itll have detailed, complex, plots with great foreshadowing and character development (when done right). The most satisfying feeling is getting to the end of a long series and reflecting back on where the characters started, and how theyve changed over time to where they are now. Same with the plot.
Oh, and my other is that graphic/mangas count as a book read
I think its okay to listen to a book especially if someone is dyslexic or has a learning disability. I have some books I loved listening to and some I love physically reading. When I was a kid in school I had a learning disability where I couldn’t comprehend the words on the page so my teacher allowed me to use audiobooks in elementary and middle school. Now I genuinely enjoy reading!
The fact that we got a new video from both Sara and Destiny?????My day is going to go really well 😭❤
i know right i couldnt choose whos to watch first!
That little book of the month intro that you did was like the coolest thing ever I was so invested in what was going on the entire time
i refuse to read books that are hyped up in that moment in time; i’ll purposely wait until the hype dies down
the amount of effort you put into editing is amazing, i lowkey feel like i’m watching a full on production 💗
The “books should not be over 360 pages” opinion made me shook 😨 I love long books and find them really satisfying, although I do agree that thrillers/romances don’t need to be that long.
ik i hate finishing books bc i get so sad bc i was attached so the longer the better 😀
Des your editing for the book of the month book was so amazing ❤
only two minutes in this editing is *chef kiss*
Omg the book of the month scene, I love you😂

my mood when you post goes up instantly! love youu🤍🤍
THE BEST book of the month sponsor i have ever seen
i agree with your take on audiobooks, i think it’s ignorant if someone doesn’t count it as reading a book because as you said it’s some peoples only form as reading. Also people haven’t been liking coho for YEAAARSS on youtube before it was a “trend”
lovedddd this video idea and your intro! actually so creative and i genuinely love watching all of your videos, it’s such a comfort
OK girl the ending with Ryle totally get it! Also I completely agree with the whole bookshelf thing, so it’s kind of funny because my whole entire phone and my closet is color organized.

6:45
This is such a common ISSUE 😫
It’s hard for me too because I keep feeling like (it’s been soo boring so the good part HAS to be coming any minute now)
And I feel like I’m gonna miss something if I stop but then nothing good ends up happening.
I feel like only people who are not readers say that listening an audiobook is not reading. I seriously think it's a form of jealousy. What other reason would you have to say it. 🤷♀
ur book of the month ad was my favorite thing ever, this is why ur my fave booktuber

everything is going right these past few days!!! speak now tv's came out! and everyone's posting new videos!!! love you des!! my favorite part of this video was the "what" to i liked ryle😭😭
but i do know your on a book buying ban but i have a red for you! it's the with me series by jessica cunsolo, it's an enemies to lovers romance but there is so much more!! the protagonist, amelia collins, is hiding her true identity and everything! ( that's not a spoiler it's on the back or towards the beginning)i cant say much more without spoiling it but this series has given me the hugest book hangover and i think you might would like it!!
Your creativity and editing is just ~chef’s kiss~
The audio book opinion is very ableist. Thank you for calling that out Des ❤
Omg Sara and Destiny in the same day is the best ❤ ily
ikr its the best
the “what” after the i liked ryle opinion had me cackling 😭😭such a great video ugh
The botm skit was so cute😭😭😭ilysm youre literally my joy in life
the book of the month promo was GENIUS i love you
5:30 I often skip through new books just to see what happens and then I will go back and read it properly at another time
I loved your color-organized shelves. also completely agree with not wanting to pick up my tbr books after them sitting on the shelves for a while
You can’t even get hardcovers in New Zealand - just a weird large version of a paperback. So annoying because sometimes I want a hardcover version or a cute edition but nopeeee
I genuinely love these types of videos
Not me instantly thinking the book of the month skit was gonna be Sara 😭
I completely agree that listening to an audiobook counts as reading it. Sometimes I don't have the attention span to go all the way through the physical book or get tired so that is when I switch to an audiobook so I am still reading. Like you said, regardless of the format you used to read the book you can still participate in conversations about the book and know the plot points. Thanks for another great video!
sara and destiny posts on the same day? just too good!! thank you for the new video!
Fun fun fun. Your skit/intro in the beginning was everything. ❤❤

Girl your video editing is so freaking good I can't-
I’m loving these fun little skit intros
That book of the month transition was an absolute slay 🔥🔥
The annotation thing. YES. I had to annotate every single page of Fahrenheit 451 for school and just hate annotating now.
The intro for the sponsor was so cute 😂❤ Idk why I imagined that it would be like Sara or someone at the door as a surprise at first lol
the amount of effort put into these videos is insane
Sara and Des posting in the same day....nothing gets better than that ahaha also destiny i just wanted to say I am never let down by ur intros!!!!
the book of the month skit was so cute im crying
I absolutely love your funny intros 😂💗🫧
yesss
The cutoff from the ryle comment to the outro was so funny lol ily 😂❤
Reading and listening to books activates the same areas of your brain. It definitely counts !

that happens to me all the time
the book of the month part was the best thing ever i love your editing

Cutest skit for book of the month I’ve ever seen😭😂🩵
18:18 thank you I read books and listen at the same time constantly.
Okay but round of applause for the effort put into that sponsor portion! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Destiny, I do love audiobooks. I guess some audiobooks level up the whole experience. Some of my favourite books that I have given 5 stars where listened as audiobooks like Tuesdays with Moorie, Carrie Soto is back and Know my name.
