I agree because I have 2 teenage daughters (13 and 15) who love the romance genre and I would like to have more info (aka spice level) so I can give them book recs!
Hey girl! Could you do more general reading vlogs even if they don’t have a theme? I love hearing all your books at the end of the month but hearing your thoughts as you’re reading is super entertaining too! Keep doing what you do 🫶🏻
Destiny, if you want to keep track of your book stats I totally recommend StoryGraph! It's like Goodreads but way better. They track EVERYTHING for you from total pages to the "mood" of your reads. And they even have graphs and pie charts on showcasing reading year/month. It's really satisfying to look at!😍 and more importantly you can ACTUALLY rate books with .5s unlike Goodreads😒
Yessss you need to keep going in the Finlay Donovan series!! If you were kicking your feet at the romance in the first one you’ll deff be kicking your feet in the next 2 😅
i LOVE the eden’s series! you described it so well!! the books aren’t amazing pieces of literature but they’re fun and easy if you don’t want to read something heavy 😊
Hearing you say "info-dumping" immediately made me think of A House of Flame and Shadow because that is literally what I feel like most of the book has been and it is a real bummer since it was a highly anticipated read for me. I am pretty sure I am in a book slump and I haven't even finished the book yet :(
Okay now you’re convincing me to try the no show for a fourth time. Girl I’ve tried and just can’t get into it but I loved the flatshare and the switch, not a major fan of the road trip but it was fun (recommend the road trip if you like Gilmore girls and sally Rooney same kind of vibes and plot for that book)
I love wrap up videos. It is just so much fun listening to you telling us your opinion on different books. By the way love the idea with the statistics at the beginning of the video❤
hahahahaha omg watching people who weren’t reading omegaverse in middle school (like i was… 😬) learn about the whole knot situation is so funny to me. i was dying when i saw it in bride it felt like a strange flashback-
Destiny… your reviews are spot on. I totally agree with your review of The Fury. It held my interest but there was “ no punch” as there was in his first two novels, which I loved!! Love your book blogs 😊
my year isn't going very well, i'm using books to cope and its definitely not working. life is stressful and a massive pain. Thank you for being you, I really appreciate your wonderful, random, slightly chaotic self. you're very much appreciated! my reading so far this year, I'm not enjoying anything. I'm trying to remind myself to slow down and just enjoy my time with the books. I'm trying to remember to “Read a book without thinking about finishing it. Just read it. Enjoy every word, sentence, and paragraph. Don't wish for it to end, or for it to never end.” ― Matt Haig, Reasons to Stay Alive January - 10 books - average rating 2.8 - main genre was contemporary February - 24 books - average rating 2.98 - main genre was fantasy
I’m with you girl! I borrowed from my library The Fake Mate and it was just not for me. The spicy scenes was just cringy at times specially because they kept talking about the knot 🤦♀️
@@YW2324 I think it’s hard, sometimes they’re either too cheesy or the couples don’t have enough chemistry or something just way too much in my opinion.
Destiny, I actually enjoyed Bride. It was good change of pace from Ali Hazelwood’s other romances. Also guess what I got at the book store recently? A Court Of Thorns & Roses! I am so excited to get started with this series
I thought Bloodmarked was better than Legendborn. Totally agree that the first book was heavy with extra information/world building. I paused when first reading Legendborn but read Bloodmarked in 2 days 😅
A fun time as always! Also didn't love Bride it just fell flat on everything that was promised. Grown up twilight I think not. Also I love that you talk as fast as my brain processes its the best. Thank you for brightening my day with your sunshiney radiant super energetic and slightly sarcastic self no one is like you Des. :)
I didn’t even manage to get through 1 book in February! 🙈 I red 3 books in first fortnight on January, then struggled with another for the rest of that month, gave up and switched book in February and haven’t finished it 🙈
Soo can I tell you something… I thought I ordered Throne of Glass in a recent haul but in reality I didn’t… I spent some time on booktube…was trying to figure out what tandem reading is and then the video when of when you first started Legendborn popped up (from almost a year ago!)… I was trying to find the video where you finished it. I even went to your Goodreads cause I really wanted to know what you rated it. I read some of my current read and thennnn…. You uploaded… crazy how timing and our world worksss. Thanks for the upload! I look forward to your review of Bloodmarked! Also there might be a third of the series???
I don’t believe that you have had a disappointing month of reading tbr don’t put so much pressure on yourself prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
I think you should film a video of like a 24 hour reading challenge or just reading for a long period of time without editing it so people can watch and read with you

As a teenager I love that she puts the spice levels! I wish all booktubers did that.
REAL😊
Agreed

agreed
i completely agree because i don’t want to read spice but i always end up reading it on accident because a lot of people don’t talk abt it
I LOVE how she puts the spice level
SAME!
I’d love to see a “zero-brain power book recs” video! We all need those good filler books sometimes 😊
Lmfao your spice reviews 😂😂 “talks about the deed” & “no but says the word” 😂
Hey girl! Could you do more general reading vlogs even if they don’t have a theme? I love hearing all your books at the end of the month but hearing your thoughts as you’re reading is super entertaining too! Keep doing what you do 🫶🏻
Girl you realize that anything you post is a slay you did all that hard work so just post the videos that you made you know we love them

DESTINY YOU LITERALLY SERVE 💖💖💖 so glad you finished the magnolia parks 😭😭😭 and liked it and YOU are gorgeous 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for the TW for the Magnolia Parks book
Right! And thanks for giving the actual TW's instead of saying just look them up. Sometimes it's pretty hard to google them..
Des,we need a video where Mila chooses your tbr or what books you buy💕
I appreciate you adding the spice levels on reviews sooooo much! Thanks for that 🤠🫶🏽
All my screen time is dedicated to Des’s videos and the podcast ❤
My screen time = Destiny, Sara, Haley, Rachel Catherine & the podcast
@@Showtunediva same! just add Emily Fox, Syd, Jack and lala.
Yessss you need to keep going in the Finlay Donovan series!! If you were kicking your feet at the romance in the first one you’ll deff be kicking your feet in the next 2 😅

watching your videos are always the highlight of my week 💗
I love the spice level being listed-it’s so helpful! 😊
I absolutely LOVED The No-Show! I always find that one hard to describe and I think you did a great job Destiny!
I love your videos so much, I watch you while I read my own books. I love❤
You are so authentic honest and hard working love your videos bestie ❤
YAYAYAYAY ALWAYS A GOOD DAY WHEN DES POSTS A VIDEO WE LOVE YOU
literally perfect timing, i came on to binge some of your old videos and saw that you posted 3 mins ago💖
Your descriptions of each book and why you chose your rating are always so good! 🤍
hahahahaha omg watching people who weren’t reading omegaverse in middle school (like i was… 😬) learn about the whole knot situation is so funny to me. i was dying when i saw it in bride it felt like a strange flashback-
Cannot wait for MP book 5. They’re my absolute favorite. I love them. Can’t wait
YES! Yours are my fave wrap ups
You slayyyyyyyy girlyy❤ love
I've been obsessed with you and binge watch your videos
Destiny… your reviews are spot on. I totally agree with your review of The Fury. It held my interest but there was “ no punch” as there was in his first two novels, which I loved!! Love your book blogs 😊
I love watching these wrap-up videos. 💜 You make them so interesting to watch!
huh.... had no idea what a knot was... had to look it up. Not sure how I feel about that either. 😅
Sat down to eat dinner and watch youtube, perfect timing 💕
Love ur vids so much girl! Thx so much for posting consistently. You bless my day ❤❤❤
Thank you for adding the spice levels!’
I love being a reader, we give a book 3 stars and be like "i really liked it though!" like it was good but not 4 or 5 stars lol
omg sara and destiny on the same day! i guys make my day!
The Finlay Donavan series is so good. The 4th book is coming out in March. And there’s even a novella from Vero’s point of view!
my year isn't going very well, i'm using books to cope and its definitely not working. life is stressful and a massive pain. Thank you for being you, I really appreciate your wonderful, random, slightly chaotic self. you're very much appreciated!

Yay I’m so excited to watch! I love your videos!!💕🫶🏻
So glad you touched on The Fury, because it’s the pick for my book club this month and I just feel like I’m not interested in reading it
been waiting for this all day!!!!
Keep going in the Finlay Donovan series! They are so fun ... would love to hear your thoughts
I've heard a lot of mixed things about it
I've also had a mixed reading month. I had one 5 star and a few 4 stars, but also lots of 3 stars and a 2 star as well.
I’m with you girl! I borrowed from my library The Fake Mate and it was just not for me. The spicy scenes was just cringy at times specially because they kept talking about the knot 🤦♀️
I've not been able to get into romance 💒 yet. Hopefully soon.
@@YW2324 I think it’s hard, sometimes they’re either too cheesy or the couples don’t have enough chemistry or something just way too much in my opinion.

Missed having your vlog yesterday! Hope your doing well and will be (un)patiently waiting for the next vlog/video lol ❤
omg i also finished the no-show by beth o’leary this month!!! was on my tbr for so long too 👀
I thought Bloodmarked was better than Legendborn. Totally agree that the first book was heavy with extra information/world building. I paused when first reading Legendborn but read Bloodmarked in 2 days 😅
"PointS-of-view." 🤗
Absolute queen ❤
Yay posting dayyyy❤
YESSS WRAP UP SEASON
I am reading killing it and Legendborn for March.
“You do not belong with me” 😭
I love cozy mysteries. My favorites are from the arsenic and adobo series. I’ll have to check out Finlay Donovan is Killing It
YAY I NEEDED THIS THANK U DES
Shady Hollow is a really good cozy mystery and so far the rest of the series is holding up!
A fun time as always! Also didn't love Bride it just fell flat on everything that was promised. Grown up twilight I think not.
Also I love that you talk as fast as my brain processes its the best. Thank you for brightening my day with your sunshiney radiant super energetic and slightly sarcastic self no one is like you Des. :)
you should do a reading vlog with all of the bridgertons books!
💚💚March 1st video seems smooth and efficient 📗
i ensure you that we will watch whatever you post, even if you think its not good enough we'll eat it up😚
And again Destiny saves the day!❤
these vids are my fav :)
Agreed 👍🏻
I love the Finlay books!!! My kindle cut them off though for some reason so I had to stop I the middle of book 3!! 😢😢
I didn’t even manage to get through 1 book in February! 🙈 I red 3 books in first fortnight on January, then struggled with another for the rest of that month, gave up and switched book in February and haven’t finished it 🙈
She literally posts right when I need it omfg lol

1000% agree with your bride review
read 'Coach' by Devney Perry!!! It's a sports romance and the second one comes out next week!!!!! I loved this one
I don’t believe that you have had a disappointing month of reading tbr don’t put so much pressure on yourself prayers and blessings to you and your family love your Aussie family friend John ❤❤❤
Reread from blood and ash! If you want another SJM like world that’s the series to get into!
GUYS DESTINY JUST POSTED 2 DAYS IN A ROW
So disappointed by The Breakup Tour 😢 I LOVED the roughest draft- I thought TBT was very poorly written, the romance was NOT IT
Yay bestie Des❤❤❤
The second legendborn book Bloodmarked is muchhh better bc you already understand the lore and the romance is toooo good!!!
now I need to buy magnolia parks asap
I started the Beth oLeary book as an audiobook last year and it was SOOO slow that I couldn’t get into it. DNF and then googled plot ending 😅
i love your sweatshirt! where is it from? 😍
need more weekly vlogs, gym videos, and zero brain power book recs for book slumps
I think you should film a video of like a 24 hour reading challenge or just reading for a long period of time without editing it so people can watch and read with you
Destiny I just joined ur bookclub......so excited✨❤but I don't know how to find this month's book pick what do I do ?
