Girl the fact that we have the same 24 hours in a day is MIND BOGGLING. Your hustle never ceases to amaze me, you’re always working hard and it’s paying off!! ❤
literally just today I listened to an interview of Hannah Grace and she was talking about how she isn't a fan of writing 3rd act breakups, especially miscommunication tropes! I appreciate that so much bc nothing annoys me like miscommunication
Same, my Amazon app actually doesn’t let me buy books on there and tells me they’re only available on the kindle store, maybe it’s a US thing (I’m from Spain)
@@heyitsmarta00no, I’m in the US and it’s the same here. But I’m able to click on the little shopping cart on my kindle and buy all of my books through it. It’s odd that Destiny has to do it her way though
You can also group your books into “collections” so when you’re in the mood for a romance they’re all there together or you can put your monthly TBR selections so you can see what you’ve still got to go. Or seasonally. Or video ideas. Possibilities are endless. The more you know. 🌈
If you read the 'A Curse for True Love' extended epilogue of the Barnes Exclusive Edition, it totally seems like she's going to write more in this world. I really hope so does because every single one of her books has been five stars for me!
I love how you can just crush books so fast when you set the time aside. I can’t focus for that long even on great books. Love to keep trying though lol
I finished a curse for true love last night and loved it! I gave it a 4.75 stars. I feel like the ending was so rushed; although it was everything I wanted! It was just so rushed and almost too cliché. Like things happened just so there was a good ending 😊
this is so relatable, I love it. And 5 books is still great, and no matter what the goal is, it's always amazing to finish a series, finish a book that was started months ago
Think you have to change the settings on your kindle to buy the books from it! I can buy them perfectly fine on mine but not on the app on my phone because I don’t have it set up for purchases from IOS
I was exactly the same with ACFTL. I thought it was 5 stars initially. It hit me in the feels. But the next day I woke up and was like I NEEDED more answers, more resolution! 😅
Omg nooooooo! I LOOOVED prison healer! It is slow, more quiet, but everything for a reason and the series gets sooooooo good! It is not action packed FIRST…. But has so many good insights into her life, her past, the crazy situation in the prison, the friendships she is still able to built, the found family (!!), the horrible work in prison and the virus she needs to understand… the challenges she needs to face and the hope she has to escape this life and be back home again with her family… throwbacks to her father, so many unanswered questions… its just the start of so much more! AND BTW: It is set in a god damn horrible prison where she has spend nearly 10 years so far!! Basically growing up in the worst environment possible !! And she is helpless, depressed, haunted by her trauma, nearly hopeless, and needs to figure out life anyways, and still makes the best out of it! Is not broken from her past and still so kind and good hearted and a GOD DAMN FIGHTER!! Where is the appreciation for that? For sure it is not a witty happy hippo book first!!! Because that wouldn’t have made any sense in her situation. It is more repetitive/monoton first because that is SIMPLY what life in a horrible prison looks like. You as a reader should feel this way to be connected to her feelings and situation and hope for her to find a chance to escape it all. It sets the tone for everything that follows… THIS SERIES IS A BIG ADVENTURE. This book doesn’t deserve lower than a four star 🌟 !!!! It might not be the most epic fantasy ever written but is deep, has a great female protagonist with great values and has so much love in between the lines, such great side characters AND such good twists ALL through the series! For a YA fantasy it is well worth your time and I will fight for it!!! ;)
…okay I have a question. this series sounds SO GOOD but is there any romance? for me, books with romance elevate a story when done right. love is so important in life and so I love seeing that translated on the page. if there is romance, will you tell me how present it is?
YES!!! It was great and difficult and sweet again, but this is not why I’m rooting for this series… the friendships are even better. In the series I’ve fallen in love especially with two male characters, have cried and laughed out loud because of them :) but i won’t say more!!
This is super random but it's actually good that your bed makes you immediately go to sleep like that, especially if you have trouble sleeping. A lot of people say that when you want to relax/read/listen to music/color but not fall asleep, you should sit in a chair in your room and only get in your bed when you want to sleep. That way, on a night when you're having trouble falling asleep or don't feel particularly tired, when you get in your bed your brain automatically associates it with sleep. The more you know (my sister has been to like 3 doctors for her chronic sleeping problems so. I learn things.)
This would give me a migraine. My brain HURT after I did a 24 hour timer readathon and I read about 9 books for that 😬 Literally all I did was read for a week 😂😂
I still consider the bonus epilogue in the b&n of acftl as the canon ending because that felt more satisfying and gave an actual closure imo compared to the canon epilogue.
Girl FELT on the falling asleep as soon as I get in bed to read. One minute into reading my kindle I’m snoring, my husband shakes me awake and says okay babe put your kindle on your nightstand and go back to sleep. I don’t even know why I try to read in bed anymore it’s my literal melatonin.😂
me today making my november tbr putting on more books than i can read. I pick 5 books called my "must reads" and they're usually like new releases/big books and thats the challenge. but i also love crossing off the books on my tbr.
I felt the same way about prison healer, the only reason I forced myself to finish it was because I did find the trial parts interesting but will not be finishing the series
@destinysidwell did you know the author, Stephanie Garber, wrote alternate endings for different editions!!! You might want to get another edition to see if you like the ending better!!! 💕💕💕
That’s so odd you can’t buy them on your kindle. I can only buy them on the kindle. If I try to get them through the app it only gives me an option to download the sample.
destiny can you make a little tutorial of how you buy your kindle books even if its a bit harder? my kindle doesn't allow me to buy any boo that's popular or new it's all clissics and stuff i don't care about
I buy my kindle books through my actual kindle but I will say, I hate that I can’t look up prices or buy kindle books through my Amazon app or even the kindle app?? “This app does not support purchasing” WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? I have to go on safari to do any of that
honestly babes if you don’t want to continue on with the mortal instruments series just read the infernal devices trilogy like it’s SO good and her best series in my opinion
Completely agree!! I skipped straight to infernal devices and thoroughly enjoyed!!! I’m thinking of trying the mortal instruments but not sure if I will like
This would be considered self torture for me!! I’ve spent a legit twelves hours studying and reading today and I feel so fatigued and like I’m drunk or had some doses of THC. I could not survive 24hours.
She mentioned in her September wrap up that she just wanted to wait until a little bit closer to Christmas (probably late November time) I believe. Either way if she wants to continue the series she may do the whole series in one video so it wouldn’t be out for a little while anyway💕

I am like 99% sure I can buy books through my kindle so that's odd that you can't. I absolutely love this video btw :)
Same, my Amazon app actually doesn’t let me buy books on there and tells me they’re only available on the kindle store, maybe it’s a US thing (I’m from Spain)
in the uk you can’t do it directly on your kindle either! has to be on the amazon web page on a different device which is so unnecessary 😅

@@pinkpup1404i’m in the uk and i can buy it directly on my kindle 😅😅
Weird honestly bc I can *only* buy amazon ebooks through my kindle lol
is it just me but the VIDEO QUALITY IS TOO GOOD in this!!! thank you destiny for coming through with the content!!
girl you are so pretty!!
Yesss!!
I agree

The sheer willpower you have to do this is insane 😂💕
Real
GIRLL, THE JAZZ THAT YOU PUT ON YOUR VIDEOS IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.
I love how you can just crush books so fast when you set the time aside. I can’t focus for that long even on great books. Love to keep trying though lol
Oh my gosh, yes! I'm the same way! Even if the book is phenomenal, unless it's super duper short, I can't finish a book in one sitting.
When you teased this in your TBR game video I thought we were gonna have to wait. I’m so excited it’s out! You never disappoint!😊❤
Des!!! Im 100% sure you can buy books on your kindle! I do it all the time😭😭 that’s how I’ll randomly be spending money
seeing you get so excited about the book in the beginning made me so happy! It's so hard to find books that are so good you don't want to sleep .
I finished a curse for true love last night and loved it! I gave it a 4.75 stars. I feel like the ending was so rushed; although it was everything I wanted! It was just so rushed and almost too cliché. Like things happened just so there was a good ending 😊
So sad you didn't love RWRB. It's one of my faves of all time. Also Casey McQuiston is the author. Not Carly Fortune... :'(
i was going to say this haha
I would love to see this kind of video with every monthly TBR!!!!
Agreed!
this is so relatable, I love it. And 5 books is still great, and no matter what the goal is, it's always amazing to finish a series, finish a book that was started months ago
Yes! Reading and napping=guilty pleasure!
i was literally just scrolling through youtube trying to find something to watch, when i get a notification that destiny posted🙌😌🙌
There is genuinely nothing I love more than reading editing destiny’s comments/reactions to video destiny!! lmao you kill me des
5/10 from your tbr isnt bad!! minus 5 books from your giant tbr is a win 😂 keep them coming des ❤
Think you have to change the settings on your kindle to buy the books from it! I can buy them perfectly fine on mine but not on the app on my phone because I don’t have it set up for purchases from IOS
I buy books straight from my kindle all the time. Maybe check your settings.

Bestie Destiny is such an icon ❤ I’m sending you love and self care!
I’m OBSESSED with your hair. The hair is hairing
Omg I am SO excited for the series!! Love the idea! The video was AMAZING ❤ I loved it!!
Project Hail Mary is so good and funny and heartwarming!
I will never get bored of ur reading vids!!!
In love with the new hair 😍
Hey Destiny! I love your videos! And your thumbnails! They are always so aesthetic! ❤

Out of context book reactions actually make me chuckle out of my confusion
The top of your home page on your kindle has a little shopping cart! That’s where the store is!
i’m so proud of you bestie
Whattt? I can buy books on my Kindle...
Yessss these reactionsss 😍
a curse for true love was sooo good! My heart was so breaking ❤
1:18 i can buy books on my kindle? What version do you have?
This would give me a migraine. My brain HURT after I did a 24 hour timer readathon and I read about 9 books for that 😬 Literally all I did was read for a week 😂😂
Destiny I love your Tbr bound game videos and I think this is a great video idea.
i’m coming from the tbr video to tell u that pairing this vlog with ur tbr vid is SO COOL 🫡🫡
I like this new series because I love reading vlogs. ❤
The point about your bed being a sleep magnet, felt that
omg I love your hair so much
I still consider the bonus epilogue in the b&n of acftl as the canon ending because that felt more satisfying and gave an actual closure imo compared to the canon epilogue.
freaking out over the first sentence is so real tho. i always go back to the first sentence of books i love and imlike thats what started it all.
We need books that have to be read by the end of 2023 and a vlog of these please ❤
I agree with everything you said about ACFTL! I gave it 4 stars :)
Love you Des!!! You’re literally my comfort youtuber😂💖💖💖
Feel the same about RWRB, almost wish they would’ve been enemies for a lot longerrrr

PLEASE DO THIS AGAIN THIS VID WAS AMAZING!!! love you des
I don’t want to jinx this but every time I’m thinking about Destiny uploading a video it’s either that day or the next like what!!!!
The pod and you releasing a vid?! Thank you des ❤
The best thing I could get while I’m sick : a new Des video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
I felt the same way about prison healer, the only reason I forced myself to finish it was because I did find the trial parts interesting but will not be finishing the series
literally love you sm
love this series idea so much!!
I clicked so so sooooo so fast and I am happy
YOU AGAIN was so fun!
I liked that you made a video of you reading the books from your board game tbr.
Not queen des calling Casey McQuiston Carley Fortune 🫣
omg i just watched the board game vid then this popped up on my recommendation page
edit: also love ur grateful dead shirt
the fact that i just bought once upon a broken heart, this made me want to wait till i had all 3 books ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
I love this video concept!!!
bestie Destiny in a Purdue crewneck? Loving that🫶🏼
Omg another video 🙌🏻
the clip of you singing The Grudge brings me so much joy lol
@destinysidwell did you know the author, Stephanie Garber, wrote alternate endings for different editions!!! You might want to get another edition to see if you like the ending better!!! 💕💕💕
Love this new series idea
Literally my birthday, yet this video is what made my day
My lord I’ve been stuck on City of Glass for three months 😂 but I did love City of Ashes
This hair color suits you so well
You’re my comfort youtuber 🥺🫶
Another great one!! 😊
Can you incorporare your dog in a video idea? Like dog chooses my TBR etc?
i didn’t like caraval very much but i need to preserve to get to ouabh
Love the las part of the video with the text hahahaa sooo relatable
I love how she doesn't address the smut scenes in wildfire - Icebreaker. "Such a cute book". LOL
That’s so odd you can’t buy them on your kindle. I can only buy them on the kindle. If I try to get them through the app it only gives me an option to download the sample.
I love the prison healer trilogy!!
destiny can you make a little tutorial of how you buy your kindle books even if its a bit harder? my kindle doesn't allow me to buy any boo that's popular or new it's all clissics and stuff i don't care about
I buy my kindle books through my actual kindle but I will say, I hate that I can’t look up prices or buy kindle books through my Amazon app or even the kindle app?? “This app does not support purchasing” WHAT DO YOU MEAN?? I have to go on safari to do any of that
What kindle do you have? Would you recommend it? Would love a talk through video / insta reel or TikTok talking about your kindle
Being sad after reading a good book is so true
100% agree with all your thoughts on a curse for true love
Prison healer is a slow burn honestly and then it takes off in the 2nd & 3rd books
honestly babes if you don’t want to continue on with the mortal instruments series just read the infernal devices trilogy like it’s SO good and her best series in my opinion
Completely agree!! I skipped straight to infernal devices and thoroughly enjoyed!!! I’m thinking of trying the mortal instruments but not sure if I will like
Your clothes are the cutest.
Des’ TBR vids are always super fun!❤ also, I can buy books on my kindle?🤷🏼♀️ hope you’re doing well, Des❤️
That’s so weird, maybe you kindle has something off on the settings, because i always buy my books directly from the kindle
YES IT WAS SO TIM TAM
I use the kindle app on my phone (which, yes, still annoying) however much more user friendly than using a browser
I’m reading magnolia parks series at the moment. I’m on the last book now. Terrified to read, I have to relive it all again 😭.
I legit had city of ashes sitting right in front of me this whole video!🤭
I can buy books on my kindle but maybe a location thing my Amazon account is the U.K. one (I’m in ireland) it could be a settings thing gal.
DES where is the grey sweater from?
would you recommend reading the carival series prior to reading these? I
This would be considered self torture for me!! I’ve spent a legit twelves hours studying and reading today and I feel so fatigued and like I’m drunk or had some doses of THC. I could not survive 24hours.
Hey Des, did you decide not to read Harry Potter? I’ve been looking for the reading vlog🥹
She mentioned in her September wrap up that she just wanted to wait until a little bit closer to Christmas (probably late November time) I believe. Either way if she wants to continue the series she may do the whole series in one video so it wouldn’t be out for a little while anyway💕
@@ellarose.readss oo good to know! Thanks for the kind reply☺️
