i used to HAAATEE reading books and you, Haley, and Sara, have helped me love reading so much. i might not read fast but i read first thing in the morning, right before bed, and whenever i have free time. thats huuugee compared to how much i read last year (that was never btw) so thanks!
My day just got so much better! I’m going book shopping tomorrow! This will help me so much! I recommend reading the crave series as soon as possible! I’m rereading crave rn, it’s amazing! Thank u for this video! ❤
Hi des, I just wanted to say thank you for your video today. It really cheered me up. I just got home from a 2 months long vacay and came back home to see half of the books on my bookshelves gone. Apparently my mom was told some of the books I read was harming the family and she threatened to throw them away. I was so freaking upset cause how could a book possibly harm anything. Books are the only thing that brings me joy and the only thing that helps me get through the day and spend my time. I don’t understand how she could take them away without even knowing what the books are about. Some of them are literally romance!! I was so upset I started crying while she was telling me why and naturally she accused me of being mad when she’s only talking to me calmly but honestly how would I not be upset?! She took away the one thing that brings me so much joy. I’m thankful she didn’t take away ACOTAR though because I love it too much. (She took away yours truly by Abby Jimenez too! Yours Truly!!! How unbelievable is that!?) I’m also a full grown adult, can handle my own life and some of the books I bought with my own earned money. Anyways I just needed somewhere to rant I’m sorry. Thank you so much Des for cheering me up with your videos. ❤❤
I can't even imagine how you feel. Stay strong. Keep your head up. I'm so glad you enjoy reading. I hope you never lose your love for reading and books. 📚 🤎
I cannot tell you how much joy it brings me that you are obsessed with Sarah J Maas books too! Love all you recommendations and your videos always brighten my day! ❤️
literally destiny is one of my fav youtubers that just to help her i’m actually thinking of starting a blog with square space so when i pay they see that Des brought them to me
hey destinyyyy! One video idea I thought of that I think would be cool to see is something along the lines reading genres of books I’ve never read before for a week, for example if you’ve never read sci-fi Monday might be the sci-fi days and then Tuesday would be maybe historical fiction for example if you’ve never read that. Obviously it could be done in different ways but I think this sounds like a cool idea! Love your videos they’re a comfort to me❤
I just finished By a Thread today, would have never picked it up if you and Sara hadn't recommended it and I can't believe that I have no more moments with those characters also it helped my reading slump and exam anxiety
Just started reading Crescent City House of Earth and Blood I loved ACOTAR so I’m so so happy that this book made it into your recommendations! I can’t wait to finish ❤
Honestly a book a can’t recommend to anybody enough is ‘the fault in our stars’ by John Green. It’s about a girl named Hazel who has terminal Lung cancer (I don’t remember what the diagnosis actually was) her mom forces her to go to this support group every week and she’s Always dreads it until she meets Augustus waters a guy who pretty much falls in love with her in there first interaction. I don’t want to spoil anything and I’m not great at summarizing things but let’s just say I laughed cried (I mean balled) the whole way through the book. It’s also an older book I think it was published in 2010-2012, but it being older just makes there love story so much more..meaningful if that makes any sense. It dose have a spicy scene but it’s not to descriptive and I mean there’s a funny little thing at the end pretty much letting him know he’s not a virgin anymore 😂. But honestly I can’t recommend this enough I read this book when I was 12 and was very confused with a-lot of the big words and stuff so I would highly recommend sticking to its suggest age/grade level. It has meaning and has such a good (I mean sad) but like good ending that it’s honestly worth reading. I read it in a matter of 4 hours one sitting and would honestly do it again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 stars diffidently.. also Augustus the mail guy character is like the best guy in the world, like I get he had cancer to and understand what she’s going through but like he’s jsut so sweet and makes her feel better when she’s sad which happens a lot to be honest. Thank you for reading my rant about how good this book is and I hope others like this book just as much as I do.
off topic but I would LOVE a video of "out of my comfort zone" video, reading stuff like red rising/Stephen king/oldschool fantasy etc it would be super entertaining and who knows maybe find new fav genre! :)
Fantasy is my favorite genre so here are my recommendations: - The Shadow and Bone trilogy, Six of Crows duology, and King of Scars duology by Leigh Bardugo (young adult) - Percy Jackson by Rick Riordan (middle grade) - The Poppy War trilogy by R. F. Kuang (adult) - The Unwanteds by Lisa McMann (middle grade) - Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (middle grade) - Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson (adult) - The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson (adult) - Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (young adult or adult idk also it’s a fantasy romance ) - The Shades of Magic trilogy by V. E. Schwab (young adult)
i was so surprised you didn’t talk about once upon a broken heart!! this video made my day. you have been dishing out videos, and it is the best and appreciated! made my day ❤
I just started watching you, we do not have the same taste in books, but that doesn't even matter. I'll watch you read/talk about anything and have the best time ever!
I love your videos Des! They entertain me so much and I love your personality - you seem really nice and also you’re funny. :) Thanks for all the content.
My experience reading Beach Read at the beach was so memorable because I was literally like listening to TSITP soundtrack and instrumental T swift lol and I think I want to read it again next summer!
hey des! i wanna read throne of glass and was wondering when you recommend reading the assassin’s blade. i’ve heard mixed things on when is best to read it.
Yass des I love Fleetwood Mac as well and I’m def gonna checkout the addicted series bc apparently it’s gossip girl meets friends meets euphoria which is pretty exciting
Ali Hazelwood SNAPPPPPEEEDDDD with love theoretically I ran to buy it from your last video reaction and it did not disappoint at all. Best book by her for sure ❤️
Oh my gosh! I have trouble imagining images too! I literally have to search what the author is describing and have the pictures beside me for reference.🤣
Throne of Glass is amazing and lives in my head all the time, and also ACOTAR. Waiting to read Crescent City until the third one is almost out. I unfortunately did not like Fourth Wing. There was so much in there that I just didn’t vibe with. I think listening to the audiobook instead of physically reading it definitely made me hate it more than if I would have read it 😂
Same thoughts on Fourth Wing! I also listened to the audiobook and wondered if that made the negative difference in my experience. The dialogue was so cringe that I'm not convinced of this theory though. 😅
