Can you please make a video where you read like “children books” but more so ages 9-12 I also have some recs if you where to do this 1. The Thirteenth Hour by Quinn Sosna-Spear 2. Where the mountain meets the moon by grace Lin and 3. A tale of magic by Chris Colfer it’s a trilogy and probably my fave book I have ever read so very highly recommend

Yes, Legendborn is kinda information overload-i would not read that book if you’re in a slump. But PLEASE give it another chance because Bloodmarked was a five star book for me-SO worth getting through the first book for the second one!!
Throne of Glass is my favourite series, I'm so glad you loved it! And I'm genuinely so happy to hear when anyone tries it. It's a really big undertaking but I think it's worth it. The characters are amazing, they grow so much over the series. I implore anyone willing, to read these books (and if you didn't like the first few, please keep going at least until Queen of Shadows because that book is probably one of the best books I've ever read)
10000% agree. Queen of shadows just makes the series a lot more intricate and feels like you get deeper into the world. I’m on book 6 rn but its still such a good series!
Destinys room is legit goals I wish I could have her room. Like imagine all the art supplies I could have in there and book shelves with books and K-pop albums omg the dream. I could even have a small couch 😂😂😂
I also went into a huge fantasy reading slump after Kingdom of Ash! I wanted to read another fantasy, but any book I read after KOA didn’t compare. I ended up reading a thriller after to help me get out of that little slump
Wow over a 40 minute video from Des!! Currently reading acotar so this is perfect, Fantasy era❤also you’ve made me want to read the ballad of never after soo bad
i LOVE your videos!! I just found your channel a month ago and I cant stop watching them you inspire me to read so much. You work so hard at these and they are AMAZING!!
how hard is it to talk about ToG without spoilers, right? you literally can't mention any names!!! 😅 thank god I never tried filming reading vlogs on it, you are brave, Des!
Aelin is my favorite book character ever. I don’t know if it’s because I spent so many books with her but following her journey, read and seen what’s my mind’s played as I read the books and all the sacrifice that she’s been through just breaks my heart and building it back up and repeat. Just love love her.
Watching your reaction to the ending of Empire of Storms just made me feel all the feels again. Anyone who has read it will know that after finishing it you will not be physically okay.
Destiny struggling with empire of storms and tower of dawn is me reading the entirety of the shadow and bone series so I could understand six of crows 😂
I am soo happy you are reading the two throne of glass books. The tower of dawn will be worth it for the next book. And the next book will be crazy and you will love all the POVs
I definitely agree with the character from Tower of Dawn! That character didn't need a redemption arc IMO. I understood why the character did what they did.
The only reason people were upset with ToD is cause we had to wait a year (I think) after the cliff hanger of EoS and she brought that one out then another year for KoA. That’s why people are sour but I loved it! It has one of my fave characters in it. I think it is a great book, long but it kept me hooked 😂
the way my jaw DROPPED when you dnf'ed legendborn, i'd definitely recconend giving it another try but i get that it was probably v difficult to get through after binging an entire fantasy series :)
A lot of people have a hard time reading more fantasy after finishing the ToG series. I know I had the BIGGEST fantasy hangover as well after reading them. I've also seen a lot of people on tik tok with the same problem.
Literally won’t ever be able to describe how much I love your videos!!!! After I read them I want to literally run home to my books and read 😍🎉 love!!!! Can’t wait for the next one!
I am currently doing the tandem read for empire of storms and tower of dawn. And you reactions to the end of empire of storms makes me soooo nervous to finish them!!!!
What order are you reading the throne of glass series because I want to start the series but when I look up the reading order I get so confused I just give up😢
@@paytonwitcher6854 I read the first 4, then assassins blade and then the next 3 (I’m reading tower of dawn and empire of storms separate. (I recommend reading throne of glass first and then assassins blade any time before empire of storms because there’s a few references of it in EoS)
Just a note for everyone - you really don’t have to tandem read these books to enjoy Throne of Glass! I actually wouldn’t recommend it because Tower of Dawn is a good book but you just need to give it more time and energy because it introduces so much new stuff in comparison to Empire of Storms! ❤️
I really don’t like tandem reading Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. ToD starts off slow, but really picks up towards the end. And I think having the break between EoS and KoA is HUGE for the relief that finally comes in that book (iykyk 👀)
I am so excited to get into this series. Ive been holding off until I finished ACOTAR and now that Im on the final book, I cannot wait to binge read this sreies!
I was in reading slump, but was still reading and for some of the books I read I looked up playlists for them and now it's one of my most favorite things to do while reading. Like a playlist that immerses you even more so into the story 😍😍
See, the faces you made finishing up your tandem read... is EXACTLY why I'm procrastinating on finishing ACOTAR because then this series is next and I don't wanna feeeeeeel allllladat. I cried watching a snippet of Mockingjay the other day because I remembered Finnick and Prim die. I hate books. Why is this our hobby??????!
You look just like Charlotte, the friend of Tiana in the Disney movie. I always knew you remembered me to someone from Disney but I couldn't figure out who. You are so beautiful I love you!!!
Hi, can I please be the one to zoom in on how absolutely gorgeous your pink and purple knitted cardigan is?! I may or may not immediately jump on the search for a similar pattern so I can start to knit or possibly crochet myself something similar!!!! Love it!
You should really start the FBAA series next!!! It’s so good and the fifth book ( I believe it’s the fifth) comes out this year!!! I’m very hopeful you’ll love it!!! If you end up not liking the first book please don’t stop reading the series because the second is even better!!!❤
Please give Legendborn another shot if you do a video where you try out DNF’s again. The first half of the book was hard for me to get through as well, but the last 100-150 pages so much happens!! It’s so worth it. 👏🏻
Legendborn is definitely worth it. I’d say take a break and comeback with a fresh mind. The story is immersive but you have to trust the process and let it suck you in. Trust it’s worth it
I got into like a 2 month reading slump after reading the ballad of never after. It was just too good, I didn’t wanna read anything else, but it also hurt too much to read it again😫
the way that I cackled when you showed your book stack from barnes bc same 😭 what even is self control when it comes to books? Also, good call on DNF'ing Legendborn. The info dumping doesn't really stop throughout the whole book. It's a shame bc the plot & the characters are great but the paragraphs of info dump get so boring that my eyes would glaze over at times
At 3:49 of this video and already seeing the expressions- I was like "Girl, Ik! Ik!! I feel you!!!" 😭🙊🙈👌😂 I adore Stephanie Garber but this was truly evil of her! Lol! Can't wait for September!!! Gahh!!!😆📖☕🎭💕💕

Everyone is in their fantasy era rn and i LOVE it
I don’t even read fantasy but I love it it’s taking me back to old booktube 😭💛

@@maddiemushroom I LOVE DANCE OF THIEVES
@@maddiemushroomsamee😭🍸
“I’m literally crying over a wolf”
I felt that so deeply and I’ve never even read fantasy lol
Destiny would read a nearly 1000 page book in like a day
Wow. How did Destiny know I was having a moment of weakness and decided to take a break on RUclips? LOL I'm here for this video.
When Destiny posts, I know it’s going to be a good day!
Yes ❤
Fr
the ballad never after was SO GOOD. i could barely even handle it.
Can I read it as a standalone? :)
@@blimeyifancyreading not really, u probably have to read the first book to understand it :)
Everytime I even think about that book, my chest hurts😭
Yes, Legendborn is kinda information overload-i would not read that book if you’re in a slump. But PLEASE give it another chance because Bloodmarked was a five star book for me-SO worth getting through the first book for the second one!!
Took me FOREVER to read Legendborn. I read a book in between reading it.
yes it’s 100% worth it
it’s a little bit confusing at first but after you’re introduced to the world & the characters it really picks up
I love the slow descent into crying at the end of each book. you're so real for that.
Ballad of never after was SO SO good 😭😭😭😭🫡
Throne of Glass is my favourite series, I'm so glad you loved it!
And I'm genuinely so happy to hear when anyone tries it. It's a really big undertaking but I think it's worth it. The characters are amazing, they grow so much over the series.

10000% agree. Queen of shadows just makes the series a lot more intricate and feels like you get deeper into the world. I’m on book 6 rn but its still such a good series!
Lol Tower of Dawn was originally just supposed to be a novella, but SJM wrote way more than she expected and it just turned into a full length novel 😂
Legendborn is actually phenomenal like the plot twists were insaneee! Definitely should pick it up again
and the romanceee
Destinys room is legit goals I wish I could have her room. Like imagine all the art supplies I could have in there and book shelves with books and K-pop albums omg the dream. I could even have a small couch 😂😂😂
You’ll get there,I’m sure ❤️🔥🤞🏻🙌🏻
I also went into a huge fantasy reading slump after Kingdom of Ash! I wanted to read another fantasy, but any book I read after KOA didn’t compare. I ended up reading a thriller after to help me get out of that little slump
My mom and I are reading each others favorite books I have to read Pride & Prejudice and my mom has to read The Song of Achilles
I also did the tandem, and I actually really loved Tower of Dawn!!
When you said ‘I need to cry privatley” i really felt that. Because sometimes you do and then you sort things out and its okay.
You, Sara, and Haley should do a live reading sprint together
Fortunately I read the ballad of never knowing it was gonna be a trilogy. I can't imagine reading the second book and thinking that was the ending😢
I loved that you loved kingdom of ash. The amount of times I sobbed during that book was unreal
Destiny's describing the feeling you get at the end of The Ballad Of The Never After is the best description I have ever heard!❤
omg i’m SO happy you loved kingdom of ash, it absolutely obliterated me in the best way possible!
Wow over a 40 minute video from Des!! Currently reading acotar so this is perfect, Fantasy era❤also you’ve made me want to read the ballad of never after soo bad
ACOTAR is my fav of all time
The prison healer is like such an easy ya fantasy to fix a slump. It’s like a dream after reading an info load fantasy, I would highly recommend!!
i’m so sad you couldn’t finish Legendborn, but i do get it! It was confusing for me sometimes too hahaha but at the end i was obsessed 😌
I am only on Heir of Fire! I can't wait to read these. I might try to tandem read them too
i LOVE your videos!! I just found your channel a month ago and I cant stop watching them you inspire me to read so much. You work so hard at these and they are AMAZING!!
how hard is it to talk about ToG without spoilers, right? you literally can't mention any names!!! 😅 thank god I never tried filming reading vlogs on it, you are brave, Des!
I will absolutely buy the throne of glass series. i love sarah j maas. im rereading a court of silver flames! ❤

She’s the epitome of a girl boss.
Watching your reaction to the ending of Empire of Storms just made me feel all the feels again. Anyone who has read it will know that after finishing it you will not be physically okay.
I'm also in a fantasy slump myself, book hangovers are very real for bookworms, at least!! Love you Destiny!! ❤

sjm said "throne of glass is technically ended.. but is it?" so the trauma may not be over
Watching you cry is so heartbreaking I know it’s just a book but I wanted to give you a hug so badly
7brew started in my hometown! it is so cool to see you enjoying it! love you des!
I definitely agree with the character from Tower of Dawn! That character didn't need a redemption arc IMO. I understood why the character did what they did.

I’m like 280 pages in and finding it so slow but people like you saying it’s long but good and the characters are good makes me keep going 😎💪
u are literally sooooooooooooooooo pretty. im obsessed with ur videos

What order are you reading the throne of glass series because I want to start the series but when I look up the reading order I get so confused I just give up😢
@@paytonwitcher6854 When in doubt, I would always try to just read them in the order they were published. That works just fine.
@@paytonwitcher6854 I read the first 4, then assassins blade and then the next 3 (I’m reading tower of dawn and empire of storms separate. (I recommend reading throne of glass first and then assassins blade any time before empire of storms because there’s a few references of it in EoS)
GIRL LITERALLY LOVE THIS VIDEO 🩷🩷
also, on the topic of 7Brew, I live in Louisiana and we just got one and IM IN LOVE!!!
“that puts things into perspective for me. im literally crying over a wolf…” *cut to next scene crying again* 😂 ME
omg i love the seven brew shoutout! i’ve been going there for awhile now
i read the ballad of never after the day it came out, so i didn’t know if a third book was coming, and descended into pure agony
Just a note for everyone - you really don’t have to tandem read these books to enjoy Throne of Glass! I actually wouldn’t recommend it because Tower of Dawn is a good book but you just need to give it more time and energy because it introduces so much new stuff in comparison to Empire of Storms! ❤️
Agreed! I don’t know why anyone would suggest that. I felt Des’s pain, coz no. 😮ToD is so good on its own
You gave me the energy to finish the tandem read👀i started them february and have put of reading them
the amount of effort put into this video made me very happy. good job🙏🏻
yeah im the same way, when i read a really good fantacy book i need like 3 days to prosses it or i get into a slump
What a great video. Was great seeing you enjoy books you read again
Always get so excited when I see Des post! ❤
The minute i saw the notification, i clicked. Love love love your videos, especially your reading vlogs❤❤
oh no i’m so scared i’m about to start the infamous tandem read
also your dog casually walking around with underwear on had me rolling.
