I had the same problem where everything I was reading was a 2 or 3 star and my advice is to DNF more frequently. I'm already getting a better grasp of my taste and this month I've had THE BEST reading month with lots of 4 and 5 stars and an all time favorite
My prayers have been answered literally yesterday and today I was scrolling through TH-cam bored and I kept thinking I’d really love a destiny video rn- and now it’s here!
This makes me feel so much better sometimes when I’m not feeling the book I’m reading i want to dnf it but my brain tells me not to but now I’m like yes It will be fine if I just put it down and find something else I like
I enjoy watching your videos no matter what kind of content is if it’s reading for 24 hours or your unboxing videos I just love watching your channel. Also I love the positivity on your channel.
Wow!! Just found your videos and love what you accomplished. I’m now 54 years old and my sleep is crazy and all over. Sometimes I’ll only sleep 4 or 5 hours at night, but then be tired the next night and need a nap and then up reading two books straight through till 8 am. But I have definitely learned to DNF more books in the past 5 years or so. I’m not in school. I have a TBR that tipped over 600 last week. But in July I read 11 great books!! I read two s-tier books for me, 5 5⭐️books, 3 4⭐️s and only one 3 star which was Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover. I’ve tried three of her books and just can’t get the hype. The guys are not extremely likable and the female protagonists are intelligent, attractive, social, and shouldn’t be stuck in these bs relationships. I know people get swept into abusive relationships, but these females fall too fast and shouldn’t take their shit. So I don’t know if I’ll give her a 4 th try with Verity. That seems to be the one people seem to really like. Anyway, if you haven’t read it yet, A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman was one of my s-tier books of the 49 I’ve read so far this year and probably all time. I never cried so hard, but then I did laugh pretty hard in a few spots, too. I have felt everything this man has felt. Now I highly recommend going back to Before The Coffee Gets Cold which was almost an s-tier book, but I made it a 5 ⭐️ because it took about 50 pages to slowly get into it and get all of the characters straight in my mind and what they were doing and who was who. It’s not many characters, I think about a dozen total, but they all had Japanese names. But once you get into the story, my goodness, just stick with it. Going back in time may not change anything physically, but…. I don’t want to give it away, but I cried the last quarter of the book. I still feel all of the feels!!! Oh my other s-tier was Book Lovers by Emily Henry. This wasn’t just romance. It was gorgeous writing. My favorite quote was, “For a decade I’ve known that I will never again have everything, and so all I’ve wanted to believe, is that someday, again, I’ll have enough. The ache won’t be as bad. People like me aren’t broken beyond repair. No ice freezes too thick to thaw, and no thorn grows too dense to be cut away.” Aaaah…. Swoon.. that’s almost Austen level to me for real. It was definitely the strongest of Henry’s three novels and she has another one coming out in April, my birthday month, so I know what I’ll be getting. Continue with what you’re doing!! I absolutely love your channel and style and was very entertained. I hope you get to Before the Coffee Gets Cold and DNF any 2⭐️ books in the future so you have all great reading experiences!!! You have me as a fan
Literally so excited to see a new vid by youuuu!! And you weren’t being negative. Girl you were trying your best😅you can’t help it if you weren’t vibing with the books
Omg I so sad you didn’t like Layla :( it was my first Colleen book and I was so shook, I didn’t know anything about it so that did help! If you didn’t like a book then it’s okay to be negative, we love watching your videos either way!
maybe you need a reading break. we’ll miss you uploading but it’s okay and you don’t have to force yourself to read if you really don’t feel like it. it’s all fun at the end of the day :) thank you for uploading 💗
I found this video so calming 🥰 I was looking for a good video to take a break from college work and this was perfectly relaxing :) thank you! (also, you censoring your feet was killing me the whole video lmao)
Also I swear I'm having the same thriller experience!!! I don't think I like the genre as a whole??? But I have found horror to be a lot more enjoyable for me. Something about thrillers feel like they are all trying to be made into a movie and force the reading experience to be like that. Instead of focusing on reading characters or mystery as it's own experience, they seem to have the hopes of it being a mass marketed movie. But that's just been my experience I may need to read some more thrillers to see if I like others
I feel like if you force yourself to stay up and read, you aren’t going to appreciate anything you read because you’re so tired. On the flip side I do love these readathon vids.
Love your content destiny your a huge inspiration to me and have inspired me to start my one TH-cam channel! keep winning the reading Olympic medals you deserve ❤
I absolutely loved this video! And des it’s completely okay if u don’t like the book I wouldn’t mind if u dnfed one or even all I really dc as along as ur enjoying making this video for us💓 And I absolutely HATE when I also read books that I don’t enjoy in a row it makes me crazy !!!
just by reading the synopsis of magnolia parks..it's giving toxic like after..i've been seeing this everywhere but i just know that me picking this book will be a complete waste of time and i trust your opinions 100% and so now this book is going in vault..also is it just me or none of the recent romances books hyped on tiktok are not hitting the same
I loved magnolia parks best book of the year for me but it is not for everyone book 2 and 3 is much better but it is better to dnf a book rather the forcing yourself to read it.
BRO i hated 56 days i STRUGGLED to get through it so much. the plot twist (if u can even call it that) was so anticlimactic and both characters were super unlikeable
omg yes the subplot in lock every door I thought was going to play a part in the twist and wrap up in the end so we would find out what happened…I was SO disappointed
There is also absolutely 0 way of you knowing the plottwist in this book. Like SPOILER. How could you know the ex was involved in the whole plottwist without there even being an ex on the blurb. Make it make sense babe
Reading is becoming an Olympic sport and you are WINNING GOLD BABES
Lol I love your videos as well you should do a video with her where you read each other’s recommendations!
y'all should do reading sprints together or buddy read with a live show 🙂
@@makennahosler158 omg they shoulddddd
des and haley need to collab rn!
I think that you are not far behind
The amount of dedication and self control this girl has is actually so impressive
I aspire to be more like her or at least have her as a best friend lol
You blurring your feet gets me EVERY time. 😂 no feet pics for free
legit makes me laugh every time
You weren’t being negative, you can’t help it when you don’t like the books, so no worries about that!❤️
It drives me absolutely insane when I get so many bad books in a row lol
How tf can you try stay up for 48 hours and read? That’s some superhuman stuff
You dropped these 👑👑👑
I had the same problem where everything I was reading was a 2 or 3 star and my advice is to DNF more frequently. I'm already getting a better grasp of my taste and this month I've had THE BEST reading month with lots of 4 and 5 stars and an all time favorite
Oo what did you read this month
What is your all time favorite? 😁
This is actually great book advice! Thanks! I just dnfed a book that I was 46% percent in that I just wasn't feeling.
My prayers have been answered literally yesterday and today I was scrolling through TH-cam bored and I kept thinking I’d really love a destiny video rn- and now it’s here!
I love that you don't lie about your opinions on books. I like to see various reviews of the same book bc that's what makes reading interesting.
I was literally thinking about rewatching your 24hr videos, so this video is perfect timing
This makes me feel so much better sometimes when I’m not feeling the book I’m reading i want to dnf it but my brain tells me not to but now I’m like yes It will be fine if I just put it down and find something else I like
Same I NEVER used to do it and I just dnf two books in a row… feeling crazy
girl i have no idea how u do these videos but they are SO fun to watch!! ilysm 💗
It is fun that you rated plot twists in addition to the overall book.❤
I enjoy watching your videos no matter what kind of content is if it’s reading for 24 hours or your unboxing videos I just love watching your channel. Also I love the positivity on your channel.

Thank you for posting on my birthday. It has absolutely made my day even better.
I feel like if you force yourself to stay up and read, you aren’t going to appreciate anything you read because you’re so tired. On the flip side I do love these readathon vids.
The whisper man was 🔥 and also the good daughter you should definitely read those!!!!
my criteria for thrillers being good character wise, is asking myself if i actually care if they survive or not💀💀
You should really read the Truly devious series!! It's so addictive and you would LOVE IT!!!

I loved magnolia parks best book of the year for me but it is not for everyone book 2 and 3 is much better but it is better to dnf a book rather the forcing yourself to read it.
haven’t watched the vid yet but i know i already love it
BRO i hated 56 days i STRUGGLED to get through it so much. the plot twist (if u can even call it that) was so anticlimactic and both characters were super unlikeable
Good job so proud of you. I love your channel so much💗💗💗
omg yes the subplot in lock every door I thought was going to play a part in the twist and wrap up in the end so we would find out what happened…I was SO disappointed
I’m so sorry to this too you girl but literally I LOVE these videos and want more 😂😂😂
You’re such a queen
Okay almost 10 books in 48 hours?! GO OFF!!!!
13:24 idk if we read the same Layla. But Layla by Colleen Hoover is definitely 100% and thriller. I don’t see how you could class it as anything else
There is also absolutely 0 way of you knowing the plottwist in this book. Like SPOILER. How could you know the ex was involved in the whole plottwist without there even being an ex on the blurb. Make it make sense babe
48 whole hours. STRAIGHT TOO?! no way bruh, the dedication
Enjoyed this video!! I’ve been watching your reading challenges & im going to attempt a 24 hour one on Friday ☺️😩 Wish me luck
Love your reading vlogs! I really enjoyed The House Across the Lake!
Ahh my day just got better!!

Love your videos ❤️❤️🙏🏻 normally I’m skipping through videos, but not if it’s yours 😂💗
Loved watching this video. Well done you did an amazing job in completing this challenge 👏👏👏👏
A 34 min video!! Go Destiny !!

3:04 destiny saying she has four hours instead of four minutes till the reading challenge 😂😂😂
the rocking in fast speed took me out
LOVED THIS
I have NEVER been this early to your videoss😂
If I did this I would probably get 1 book read…
Also you dropped this 👑 because ur a BOOK QUEEN
bestie you are unbelievable
Your DEDICATION 👏
Just me binge watching your videos instead of reading like I should be ..... Lol !!!! New subscriber I love your videos !
Omg you're goodness ❤️ I have no idea how you managed to do this
my day was absolute crap but seeing this on my feed jus made it much better. 💜
You should try audiobooks while simultaneously reading the book
I would love a fall book recommendation video!
