I was SHOCKED by the 2 star rating on the cruel prince trilogy. I ate those books up, in my opinion they are amazing. If you like fantasy and enemies to lovers you need to give them a try
everytime i come across another person that hates it I'm always very entertained. A lot of the times there's no in between. people either hate it or love it. I think a lot of people want more romance in it lol. The rating for the book on goodreads has somehow gotten even lower too HAHAHA. It's very funny to me even though I would be the first person to recommend the series to anyone looking for a good fantasy (i'm obsessed with those books😭)
judging by her other reads I think she may of thought it was heavily romance driven which it very well wasn't. I think thats what distinguishes the love and the hate for this trilogy.
riiight?! maybe faeries (folklore) isn't really her thing because she didn't love Emily Wilde's folk of air is the LITERAL BLUEPRINT for enemies to lovers. idk if anyone could do it better. and the character development and world building is immaculate!! (also im still surprised that i never knew the 🐍 part hahahaaa) i read tcp in 2019 but didn't continue for some reason and recently read them all and LOVVVED THEM!! 😌💜
Des will forever be the ONLY person I trust with ratings. She and I just have the same taste and tend to rate books very similarly. Finally a person that feels the same way I do about Mile High. Just couldn’t read it and DIDN’T like the guy even though I tried repeatedly to get the hype.
Wow, 148 books in a year is an incredible accomplishment! Your concise reviews gave me quite a few books to add to my reading list. Thanks for sharing your literary journey with us. Let's hope 2024 brings even more fantastic reads your way. Keep up the great work!
Happy new year to my most comforting and sweet booktuber!! Bcause of you only I got myself into reading this year and loved the books that you recommended💕 Thankyou for making me experience the reading world💞💫

Your concise sentences were impressive! Excellent descriptions without delving too deeply, especially considering it's an annual wrap-up. I admire the way you discusses books.
i just really go into reading this year bc of you, Sara and Haley. I finished the Harry Potter series whish was really good and I read fourth wing and iron flam. I just wanna thank you so much for helping me discover a new found love for reading. I literally love your videos❤
i was enthralled until you said you DNF'd mile high! WHAT. literally one of my top 5 of the year. 🤔one scene will always live rent free in my head.....
I’m 32 weeks pregnant and I’m missing my energy drinks so much! I’m so jealous every time I see you drink one Lol can’t wait for my first Alani Nu after my princess gets here!
I am currently doing a tandem read of EOS and TOD. That helps keep it more fast paced. But I’m loving TOD vs EOS. I CANNOT believe I waited this long to read the TOD series. I will jump into CC in February or so.
Happy New Year girlie!! You are such a vibeee!! I love u soooo much!! You make my day!! Love you queen!!! Hope 2024 is great for u for reading and in everything else!!
It’s so crazy how different opinions can be. You loved The Last Word and one of my other favorite booktubers really did not like it and gave it 1 star. I loved Then She Was Gone, even though I guessed the plot within the first several chapters I still ate it up and gave it 5 stars, yes it was heartbreaking but so good. And Iron Flame I’m just obsessed with the world and characters so it’s a 5 star for me even though I did not like the ending and am still heartbroken.
I know right! There are certain books that she LOVES that I either hated/didn't like or thought were mediocre. But her and I also share favorites! It's so funny how opinions collide yet converge at the same time.😂
never been happier than to wake up on the first day of the year to a video from destiny. we love you destiny and thank u for everything u do. I LOVED THIS VIDEO BTW❤❤
I’m so impressed with your reviews. They to me are more honest then some reviewers. It seems to me like you don’t follow what’s trending from other reviewers. I love that!! Just subscribed!🥰
Happy new year destiny! I found your channel this year and you’ve brought me so much joy. Thanks for all the great recommendations! I read acotar and started throne of Glass because of you
18:19 I want to give this book another try, but I can't seem to fall in love with it as some people have. I hated it just as much as you did, but I think you were generous by giving it a 3⭐rating.
I loved your intro, the book stacking. I imagine it took forever to edit. I take everything you say to heart. I wanted to read some books you gave 1 or 2 stars, and now I won’t. So thank you. And lastly I couldn’t agree with you more about Iron Flame!
This was the best books of 2023 overview I've watched! So insightful and no spoilers at all, exactly what I'm looking for! And the commentary was amazing 😂❤
so many good reads in 2023!! i just finished acofas and wondered if you’re planning on posting your other read through videos for the rest of the series?
first read of the year is tomorrow (x3) and i'm loving it so far happy new year des, i only started watching your videos in july 2023 but i already love you so so much i hope you have a great year to come xx
i was screaming through my phone ‘your stacks gonna fall they’re gonna fall’ and then they fell.. wish i could warn her but how funny is ‘we’re just gonna roll with it’
Thank you for doing this vid i absolutely love you, I have added a few new books to my tbr in 2024. Thank you!! For addressing that iron flame took the L of the year because it literally put me in a reading slump so I dnf it, but people are telling me to finish it, so I’m still debating
“She wanted to be a baker… that’s all she wanted” might be my favorite part of this video 😂
I saw this comment before watching the video and the fact that I knew what book this was about and I haven’t even read it🤣
It’s so true though 😭
@@jaymeestahlSameee!!!! I have read it though. It's my absolute favorite! ❤
What book? I missed it lol
@@majacervin8867Heartless! About the Queen of Hearts I believe, haven’t read it but now I want to know about this want to be baker version of her if that’s what it’s about 😂 low key
“the best book that i will never recommend” is a perfect description.
That's the best way to describe "a little life"🤣
I read this comment before watching the video. Instantly knew which book it was 😭
is it worth reading tho?
the short sentences and how fast she talks is literally so good for my ADD. like music to my ears
LITERALLY
so true
Self diagnosed, eh?

Chestnut Springs and The Naturals were the BEST series I read this year!

Yeah same I'm obsessed with the series, in my opinion it flowed really well and i loved the slow burn of enemies to lovers
riiight?! maybe faeries (folklore) isn't really her thing because she didn't love Emily Wilde's
folk of air is the LITERAL BLUEPRINT for enemies to lovers. idk if anyone could do it better. and the character development and world building is immaculate!! (also im still surprised that i never knew the 🐍 part hahahaaa)
i read tcp in 2019 but didn't continue for some reason and recently read them all and LOVVVED THEM!! 😌💜
I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, THANK U DESTINY, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
The fact that Haley also had books fall in her video 😆 hilarious
that’s WHAT I THOUGHT ❤😂
that’s WHAT I THOUGHT ❤😂
Her short sentences were so good! Great descriptions, but nothing too detailed considering it's a yearly wrap up. Love the way she talks about books!🥰
Happy New Year!!!! Thank you so much for being such a major part of my 2023!!! Hoping 2024 is a great reading year for you!!! Love you so much!!! 🫶🏻✨

I always look forward to your videos!!
You HAVE to read The Lunar Chronicles! It’s an amazing series that is fairytale retellings and feels a bit like Star Wars if you like that.
Lunar chronicles is so good!! The pacing is really fast even though the books are long
I’m so impressed with your reviews. They to me are more honest then some reviewers. It seems to me like you don’t follow what’s trending from other reviewers. I love that!! Just subscribed!🥰

Oh my gosh, Red Rising is one of my fave series EVER!
this video made my ADD brain very happy !
I love how you put the book tile !!! Very useful
YESSS best way to start the day/new year :)
Check & Mate is categorised as New Adult on Goodreads.
I love that you’re true to your point about Check & Mate not being a YA

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
148 books is amazing, you go girl! Happy new year, wishing you the best!❤
