same!!! I wish that I could do those but I have my mocks and then the actual exams and I shall not be able to do this challenge until after my exams are over!😥
I read it recently! The first book was not my fav but the second one is so much better but u do have to wait to the middle of the book for the 2nd to get better. But the last book I finished in one day and it was amazing! 5/5!
i read the first book and it was just okay but the other two were just incredible. Also a lot of people say its “enemies to lovers” but they are enemies for the most part so don’t expect lots of romance
I read the first two last year and loved them, currently doing a reread before I start the last book really recommend but is heavily political which some people can find boring
I bought the Priory of the Orange Tree over the fall and my boyfriend took it immediately before I could read it and now I'm impatiently waiting for him to finish, and he already preordered book 2 coming in February😂
To me, the key to understanding a difficult fantasy book is annotating. Color code and highlight the crap out of it, make a key, write down notes, etc. I really think it helps!!
i've been struggling with Priory of the Orange tree, just started annotating yesterday and already much more interested in reading it! would recommend annotating if a book is being slow for you :)
Natasha Preston books are so underrated. The Cellar was the first book I read by her in high school and i read it in maybe two sittings and I was obsessed with it and all of her novels. They are all pretty dark and messed up, a few have super crazy plot twists, Awake and The Lost, but I've read almost all of her books and they are easy to read and get you right out of a slump!
SO EXCITED for you to read city of girls! I picked that up in 2020 randomly and it's what started my reading journey! I always recommend it to everyone
Des u would also love the Remnant Chronicle Series! I’m on the second book rn and omg it’s so freaking good! I’m so obsessed and the premise is really cool! Basically a girl runs away on her wedding day (bc it’s an arranged marriage) then she is being followed by the man who was sent to kill her and the prince she left at the alter! Not a spoiler it’s on the back of the book! U have to read it!
I’m so glad you’re reading Kristin Hannah! I read Night Road in 2021 and loved it. I also highly recommend The Nightingale and The Great Alone. Two of my all time favorite books!!
I loved Night Road as well! Her books seem to always have me crying but they’re so so good. Watched a video interview of her and her focus is women -relationships, struggles and resilience.
as someone who absolutely LOVED they both die at the end, the first to die at the end is AMAZING. its definitely top 3 reads for me in 2022 (maybe even top read??) i loved it so much. since it’s a lot longer that TBDATE you get to know the characters a lot more, their relationships, the romance, AHHH i just love TFTDATE so much i could go on and on. cant wait to see your thoughts and opinions about it!!
I just started following you. I am wanting to get back into reading. I have a lot of books from when I was a teen that I would still like to read. I love watching your videos. I deal with bad depression and anxiety and watching your videos help control my thoughts.
The night road is my favorite book from Kristin Hannah and actually it is the last book I told about my grandma before she passed away and she loved the story sooo much.
DES U NEED TO READ THE DOROTHY MUST DIE SERIES! It is an amazing fantasy that isn’t hard to get into and the subplot of romance is one of my favorites!
man, you’re my favorite booktuber, you bring such a great energy to the book community and your videos are just so pleasant! hope you’re doing well in your endeavors!
I spent 50$ yesterday on 13 books that I found at the thrift store ! I always buy used books 📚 but I also buy new ones but I vowed to buy 4 new books max and the rest have to be thrifted and this time I found 3 I wanted to buy but I was hesitating on them, I can tell you I’m happy😊
kristen hannah is one of my favorite authors. if you loved firefly lane, the sequel fly away is also amazing. night road was great but the best one written EVER is the great alone.
that was a solid haul! a lot of the books you bought are also on my tbr so i can't wait to hear what you think, especially The Cruel Prince and Priory of the Orange Tree!
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as well as the Infernal Devices trilogy, all of them are my faves! Can't wait to see you read them! They are worth your time, I promise!! Lots of love! ❤❤
I want to read The Priory of the Orange Tree so bad. I've been eyeing it all last year, but the size of the book does look very intimidating. (I've also mostly read manga, so that doesn't help my anxiety with it lol.)
Next book haul u need to check out a Jodi Picoult book. I love her fictional stories. So diverse. I can't believe no one has her on their radar cause she is fantastic!!!!
Omg Betty is in my top five books of all time!! It is so amazing! It is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time! I really hope you like it! This was most definitely an epic book haul! 😊😉
The priory of the orange tree was pretty good while reading it. But honestly I haven’t thought about it once since I finished it. Love the haul though!
the leuchtturm (means lighthouse) notebooks are the best, they are a germany brand so the quality is so good. in europe we only use these bc we don’t have the archer and olive ons
8:18 what a coincidence, I just started reading Priory of Orange Tree today! I’ve been super intimidated to start it. I’ve read 2 chapters and I think I’m going to like it! Just gotta not stress about all the names of places and people that I can’t keep track of at the moment. 😂 I’m sure that will get easier as I get into the story.
Hey destiny! I love your book videos so much!! However, I was wondering if you would feel comfortable doing a video about your health and fitness? For me, you are one of the people I trust the advice of most on social media, and I would love to see what health and fitness looks like for you!
I’m just waiting for her first 24 hour reading challenge of 2023 I love those videos so much!!!
same!!! I wish that I could do those but I have my mocks and then the actual exams and I shall not be able to do this challenge until after my exams are over!😥
I am a fan of Momma Sidwell's cinematography!
i have the cruel prince too but i can’t decide if i want to read it or not. everyone has such strong opinions about it.
I read it recently! The first book was not my fav but the second one is so much better but u do have to wait to the middle of the book for the 2nd to get better. But the last book I finished in one day and it was amazing! 5/5!
i read the first book and it was just okay but the other two were just incredible. Also a lot of people say its “enemies to lovers” but they are enemies for the most part so don’t expect lots of romance
thank y’all!
I’m reading it now and it’s pretty good! I’m enjoying it and think about the characters when I’m not reading!! (If that makes sense lol)
I read the first two last year and loved them, currently doing a reread before I start the last book really recommend but is heavily political which some people can find boring
I bought the Priory of the Orange Tree over the fall and my boyfriend took it immediately before I could read it and now I'm impatiently waiting for him to finish, and he already preordered book 2 coming in February😂
😂😂😂 we love when boyfriends take our books
I absolutely love the romance girly to ambitious literary fiction and fantasy pipeline.
me too! it's so great to expand genres and find new favorites!

The night road is my favorite book from Kristin Hannah and actually it is the last book I told about my grandma before she passed away and she loved the story sooo much.
The night road is so good! Get ready for the water works 😭 my absolute favvvv Kristin Hannah is The Great Alone
The Cellar and Orbiting Jupiter were the two books that got me into reading in middle school :) so happy you’ll get around to reading The Cellar
The night road sounds good I’ve been wanting to get it. Definitely picking it up for this year.
DES U NEED TO READ THE DOROTHY MUST DIE SERIES! It is an amazing fantasy that isn’t hard to get into and the subplot of romance is one of my favorites!
the cellar is so good!! i love natasha preston i’ve read most of her books but the cellar is definitely my favorite.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE NATASHA PRESTON I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER BOOKS
The Cellar is SO good!! But has a very, very heavy and possibly triggering topic, so just keep that in mind going into it! ❤️
New year new books indeed!!
I read "The Priory of the Orange Tree" like 2 weeks ago and it was pretty good! It is confusing for like the first 100 pages but I rated it 4 stars!
It’s good but has pacing issues
@@allyc6261 I agree
I love these videos ❤❤
man, you’re my favorite booktuber, you bring such a great energy to the book community and your videos are just so pleasant! hope you’re doing well in your endeavors!
I LOVE Jenette McCurdys book soo much.5 stars
The queen of nothing is the best in the cruel prince series for sure ! A great series all around in my opinion.
Your last book haul was the reason I subscribed to your channel. I love your energy.
So excited to see the amazing videos you post this year. I love your channel and thank you for making 2022 so great
I spent 50$ yesterday on 13 books that I found at the thrift store ! I always buy used books 📚 but I also buy new ones but I vowed to buy 4 new books max and the rest have to be thrifted and this time I found 3 I wanted to buy but I was hesitating on them, I can tell you I’m happy😊

Read The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah!!!! It’s my fav of 2022!
What you said about your journal is literally exactly how I feel I can only write what I’m feeling I can’t talk about them
The adventure of Sherlock Holmes are so good!!! You should definitely watch the Sherlock series, it’s only 3 episodes a season
The cellar is so gooddddd

THE CELLAR IS AMAZING. I read it 6+ years ago and think about it to this day.
The cellar is my favorite Natasha Preston book along with the cabin and you will be mine
I want to read The Priory of the Orange Tree so bad. I've been eyeing it all last year, but the size of the book does look very intimidating. (I've also mostly read manga, so that doesn't help my anxiety with it lol.)
Ooo been thinking about buying priory of the orange tree! Soo excited to hear your thoughts!
Love your videos destiny!!🥹🫶
The wicked king is my fave book in the folk of the air series. 🥰
Book shopping is so much fun

I love your videos. It’s always such good vibes
Omg Betty is in my top five books of all time!! It is so amazing! It is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time! I really hope you like it! This was most definitely an epic book haul! 😊😉
I devoured priory of the orange tree in like 3 days. For such a dense fiction book it was so fast paced and interesting! Dragons yes pleade
I am BEGGING YOU to read the nightingale & the great alone. Both my top books from last year.
The priory of the orange tree was pretty good while reading it. But honestly I haven’t thought about it once since I finished it. Love the haul though!
the leuchtturm (means lighthouse) notebooks are the best, they are a germany brand so the quality is so good. in europe we only use these bc we don’t have the archer and olive ons
OMGGG we have matching totes!! Got mine for christmas!
voiceover with the new pink mic !! love it des❤
Every time Destiny post I'm clicking fast❤
I‘m just about to start the cruel prince!! it‘s been on my tbr for months now and now it‘s the first book im gonna read for 2023
8:18 what a coincidence, I just started reading Priory of Orange Tree today! I’ve been super intimidated to start it. I’ve read 2 chapters and I think I’m going to like it! Just gotta not stress about all the names of places and people that I can’t keep track of at the moment. 😂 I’m sure that will get easier as I get into the story.
Read the cellar in like 7th grade and it’s so underrated i still think ab it to this day
des happy new year!! i wish u the best for this year, u deserve it
Aww I hope Destiny has the best 2023 (:

Hey destiny! I love your book videos so much!! However, I was wondering if you would feel comfortable doing a video about your health and fitness? For me, you are one of the people I trust the advice of most on social media, and I would love to see what health and fitness looks like for you!
