Oh Des, you seemed so down at the end of your video. Don't let the number of books on your TBR ever smother your love of reading or your passion for sharing your journey with all of us. We all love you and support you so, so much!!!
des babe dont put so much pressure on yourself to finish all of these books in 1 year, this is your job and all those books are your work supplies. you eventually will make content regarding a good chunk of them if not this year, next year or the following. don't get rid of books you may just rebuy eventually because you feel overwhelmed
instead of going cold turkey book buying ban, i have found it helpful to make it like a game of bingo. i made a little bingo grid and when i finish reading a book i generate a random number for the table. when i fill i row i get a book buying credit. this makes chipping away at my tbr more fun because i'm working towards a reward!
Oh my god that’s amazing! Mines at around 24-35 I think but I have picked up my pace and found a bunch of books I enjoy so it’s going well (it used to be 50+😭)
i had 53 books unread on my shelves two months ago and now i’m reading my 32nd, tbh it’s SOOO difficult but rewarding?? like, i feel great after finishing a book that’s been collecting dust for years 🤺🤺
hey des, maybe you could do a video like „reading books from 5 different genres in 5 days“ or you could do a video where you try to finish all of the books series/ series of interconnected standalones that you own. i bet that would put a dent in your physical tbr
i actually love this bc i always feel so bad abt how many unread books i have and to see ur in the same boat at me makes me so comfortable knowing like i’m not the only one
An idea for donating books is taking them to thrift stores, battered women's shelters that need supplies, and libraries will sometimes take new ones. Lovely video as always!
@@kacie_shipmani saw that! The problem is some books I don’t like, I’ve annotated; so I’m gonna try to gift them to a friend or something, there’s some books I’ve been collecting to donate and I hope I find someone who loves them😊
I think it’s safe to say that the video we should see from destiny next is a reading vlog of her finishing all the books she started but never finished.
Ok but I would literally die from happiness if you did a reading vlog this autumn reading the Harry Potter series 🥹 You could tick off 7 books at once from your TBR and it‘s the perfect cosy fantasy plsssss
Emily Fox just did a couple videos of "read it or unhaul it" and that might be a way to cut down the number a bit. You could gather up some that you've had for a while and read part of them to see if you're into it and unhaul it if you're not. Since most of yours seem to be mint/barely used, you could probably resell them to get some of the money back too :)
Girl! You made me feel so much better as I did an approximate count which led me to realize I have around 250 books on my TBR 😰 I do the same thing and shop whenever I feel sad, depressed, mad, and happy! There could be worse things we spend our money on!
My heart broke when you finished the video so down, Des is alright, you love reading and look it like this, you now have many books to choose from depending on your mood or the season. Don't let the number discourage you, really
As someone once said buying books and reading books are two different hobbies. I've got hundreds of books in my room that I haven't read but I enjoy having them and I like to think of them as potential adventures and knowledge. I don't even know if I'll ever read them all, but I enjoy being surrounded by books. My recommendation is start with the shortest book and work your way up. It's a good way to feel that you're making a dent in your TBR.
I find that giving myself a ratio helps a lot in getting through my tbr... For example, reading 3 books on my tbr for 1 new book I buy/borrow from the library. I also try to get through new books as soon as possible before the excitement for it wears off. Also, being honest about which books I lost interest in and just won't read (then getting rid of those).
Des use the 305 books as inspiration for video ideas. You can read a series, read by genre, one video can focus on the longest book you own. A vlog on male authors, etc.
Ive come to the conclusion that, for me, being a reader also means being a collector. I love books, i love collecting books. In 12 years, ive done 1 unhaul, i want the rest. I enjoy my physical library room in which im actually reorganizing right now. I have ALOT of books, but it brings a peace and eventually I'll get to them, never know what i feel like reading. Im never ever on a book ban. All this to say, you do what makes you happy with books, dont be pressured by the outside world. If books make you happy, buy the books. Life is short, too short and we get one life, be happy, be kind and if a tbr pile happens to fall on you, stack that sucker back up and buy another book to even it out!! Happy Reading and have a wonderful day
Specify a bookshelf or two as your tbr, that what I did. Makes it super easy to just go and pull out my next read. Once I read one I move it to my read shelves.
An unhaul sounds really good. What I do sometimes when I unhaul is bring books to different outside mini library's where people can get a book. That was really fun to do! :D
I think you should do 1. A week of only reading thrillers 2. A week of reading fantasy 3.continuing the books you left in between And so on..... Try these I think this will help you reduce the books on your tbr
this video and the past few videos are inspiring me to go on a desperately needed book buying ban with you!! we can stick by each other the whole way as we make it through our physical tbr’s! remember don’t give up!! you got this!!
Maybe you could do a few reading ____ books for a week video to cross off some of that tbr (sad books, thrillers, historical fiction, etc). Also love the “finish books you are in the middle of” idea!
Hey Steph! I know you’re not buying anymore books, but the Haunting Adeline series actually has a prequel novella called Satan’s Affair! For me, it really helped me understand the first book better. Especially during one specific scene in the middle. Also, the Blood and Ash series and the flesh and fire series are intertwined. This is the order: Blood and Ash, Flesh and Fire, Crown of Gilded Bones, Shadow in the Ember, War of Two Queens, a Light in the Flame, a Fire in the Flesh, and the new book that was recently released, a Soul of Blood and Ash. The Flesh and fire series is a spin-off of a certain character we meet in a Crown of Gilded Bones!
Librarian here: if you do an unhaul you should donate the books to your local library! I'm sure they would appreciate it, especially because your books are new and in great condition.
you should read 'before the coffee gets cold' for sureee ! it's a little bit different but i really enjoyed it and i recommend it to everyone. it's perfect to read on a rainy summer day with a cup of coffee in hand ! think you would really enjoy it and 'the poppy war' and the rest of the series!!!! they aren't easy to read at times and it took me a while to finish the books but at the end it was worth it. you just have to keep going and you won't regret it i've read 'the night circus' in december and oh boy.... the atmosphere in this book was so magical and the plot and the characters... it all worked sooo good together!!! and the little subplot of romance!!! highly recommend 'the secret history' is my favorite book of all times! that's all i'm gonna say. just read it and thank me later
I have a loooooot of unread books aswell, you’re not alone girl. you seemed to be a bit down about it in the end of the video but please remember that we all love and support you no matter what, don’t be hard on yourself❤
I love buying books, but I made a deal with one of my best friends. I have to read 5 books before I can buy one. Has helped me a lot. But a book buying ban does sound interesting
You know what you should do !!!! Do the closet un haul like books and Layla did. As a separate series. Like do a response to your 2021 hauls and read the ones you haven’t read yet.
omg before the coffee gets cold is sooo good def need to read also the picture of dorian gray was the first classic i read since high school and it was actually pretty good
what i do at the end of the year is go through all of my books and the ones i don’t want to keep, i “unhaul” and then reward myself by turning them into like a half price books where i can get money for the books that i unhaul. just what i do but ik it works for other people too
You should keep all of your unread books on one bookshelf and move them over to the other bookshelves once you've finished them :) It would be like a physical way of seeing the list of unread books getting smaller! Love your videos girly 💕
This makes me feel better about having 60 books on my physical tbr! I started a segment to try to keep myself on track reading instead of buying books, but I fell off the wagon and ended up buying 40 more and only reading 26 so far.
You need to read “All the Light we Cannot see” it’s a pretty slow book for the first good part of it. But it’s what made me fall in love with reading again!!!
Truly devious is such a good fall read! Also before the coffee gets cold is one of my favorites!! Good luck getting through these girly, you got this!!
Depending on the genre you could donate the books you’re not interested in to a children’s or general/ family hospital. It would give individuals who are there a sense of comfort in times of unknown & stress💛
Hon, I feel your pain and your frustration and just defeat. I can hear it and I am the same. Or I was. I had like 500 books, after I unhauled hundreds… I am also about 20 years older than you and have been reading for my whole life lol.but I went in and was very hard on myself and realistic about what I wanted to actually keep and read because I was overwhelmed and in a huge slump because of it. I did kinda go a little crazy buying books earlier this year but then just stopped buying books other than my few book boxes. I’ve read 62 books so far and I’m ecstatic, I’m out of my slump and I feel lighter. I counted today and I have 219 books that I haven’t read but I didnt add the the whole series, just book one. Although I’d like that number to be closer to 100, I’m happy with it. I hope you figure out your process and good luck. It’s so hard when you’re a book lover.
I really recommend reading the three Monsters and Muses books, Promises and Pomegranates, Vipers and Virtuosos, and Oaths and Omissions. All of them were some of my fave reads of last year and I never see anyone talk about them! I also highly recommend reading Red, White, and Royal Blue! I am reading it right now and I'm about halfway and it's already one of my faves of this year!
If you're on a book ban and youre not allowed to buy any books at all, youre going to fail and give in to buying a bunch of books. If you let yourself loose a little bit, and allow yourself to buy important books. Like a sequel to a series or a book by your favourite author, books youve been really wanting. Also id recommend reading 10 books before youre allowed to by 1 book. You could save up for a book haul or just by them straight away. I also recommend waiting 3 weeks to see if you still want the book before buying it. So that you dont get bored of it and youre certain that it is something you want not something you thought to youd like and were wring about
All the light we cannot see 😍 Red Rising 🤯❤❤ give it another chance and listen to the dramatized version of the audio book, it helps with the beginning and helps understand his writing style till you get the hang of it. It’s my favorite book I’ve EVER read. It feels like a gift that I was even able to read and start this series.
I love Sharp Objects, Redeeming Love, The Nightingale, and Educated. I feel like I loved Educated bc I’m a teacher and I love the idea that education can take you places and change your life but I don’t know if I would have been so obsessed with it if I wasn’t a teacher. But I loved.
I did not love Circe but I don’t know anything about Greek mythology and so the whole time I was just like “is the plot in the room with us???” I loved the song of achilles but this one I was just so confused the whole time
@@MontanaK96As someone that's into Greek mythology stories, I didn't like it either. It's a no plot just vibes book and it's very slow without that many things going on so if you're into more plot oriented books like me it would make sense why you wouldn't like it.
Don’t let having a big tbr put you in a bad mood! Buying books and reading them are 2 separate hobbies. A big tbr just means that you can bookshop in your own shelves!
In November and in February I got the flu for a week straight and binge watched your vids the entire weeks. Well now I have Covid and here I am binge watching your vids.
Okay, now you have a comprehensive list of your TBR, may I suggest that you section them off by genre. By doing this, it should help you feel less daunted and while you make your way through them you can vary the genre so that you won’t get burnt out on reading the same type of book all the time. We don’t appear to have too much in common with books but I would highly suggest A Man Called Ove. I love Fredrik Backman’s writing and would always suggest him to people. Finally, enjoy yourself.
She should definitely do a “finishing books I’m in the middle of” video
It's her video you can just address her 😂
Agreed!! This would be fun. Destiny please do itttt
i need to do this lmao i stop in the middle of books all the time
Yesss
Lmao this was clearly just a aesthetic video
Oh Des, you seemed so down at the end of your video. Don't let the number of books on your TBR ever smother your love of reading or your passion for sharing your journey with all of us. We all love you and support you so, so much!!!
i feel like des has more books on her tbr than i have in general😅
No she literally does. I wish I had the money 🥲
I know she has more than me bc I recently counted all my books lmao
No literally bc just 2 stacks of her physical TBR is how many books I own in total 😭
Brooo sameeee
Meee 😂
des babe dont put so much pressure on yourself to finish all of these books in 1 year, this is your job and all those books are your work supplies. you eventually will make content regarding a good chunk of them if not this year, next year or the following. don't get rid of books you may just rebuy eventually because you feel overwhelmed

OOOOH I love this idea haha!
this is such a cute idea!
I love this idea!
That’s such a great idea! I’m gonna give that a try ! 🎉
this is such a cute idea omg
My physical tbr used to be over 200 and it is now THREE!!! Just 3 little books left to go. You can definitely put a dent in it, don’t panic!! 😁💕💕💕
Oh my god that’s amazing! Mines at around 24-35 I think but I have picked up my pace and found a bunch of books I enjoy so it’s going well (it used to be 50+😭)

Can you PLEASE do a video reading the entire Cassandra Clare series it would be so gooodddd
i was literally about to write this!!
An idea for donating books is taking them to thrift stores, battered women's shelters that need supplies, and libraries will sometimes take new ones. Lovely video as always!
JustAli made a video of putting unhauled books in the little free libraries around town!
@@kacie_shipmani saw that! The problem is some books I don’t like, I’ve annotated; so I’m gonna try to gift them to a friend or something, there’s some books I’ve been collecting to donate and I hope I find someone who loves them😊
Girl you read faster than anyone on booktube. If anyone can tackle this TBR it’s you xx

For every new book I putchase, I habe to read 3 books on my TBR. It's really helped me read my TBR and cut back on impulse or mood buys.
DES YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERYTIME. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
try not to be too hard on yourself bestie, this is your literal job so it makes sense you keep up with trends + new releases when it comes to books!
The creativity that Des gives to introduce the sponsorship of the video is amazing. Keep it up Des your doing great.
SHARP OBJECTS is my all time favourite it’s deals with so much and goes quite deep and dark, fantastic thriller
My heart broke when you finished the video so down, Des is alright, you love reading and look it like this, you now have many books to choose from depending on your mood or the season. Don't let the number discourage you, really

we're all in the same boat, don't let the tbr discourage you from having fun so long as you're reading you're winning!!!! u got this
Des use the 305 books as inspiration for video ideas. You can read a series, read by genre, one video can focus on the longest book you own. A vlog on male authors, etc.
Before the coffee gets cold and the tales from cafe is such a heartwarming books! You should read it!
I mean i recommed you to read that later :)

Shipped and Pride and Prejudice are both so good in different ways. Shipped is such a fast, easy cute read, I really enjoyed it
I think you should do
1. A week of only reading thrillers
2. A week of reading fantasy
3.continuing the books you left in between
And so on.....
Try these I think this will help you reduce the books on your tbr

Please read haunting and hunting Adeline!!! I’m obsessed w them!!!
des, maybe the next video in a series could be a organized tbr bookshelf by genre, series or just 🫶vibes🫶! love ya
Yes please organise them all on the shelf that's still empty!!!
Librarian here: if you do an unhaul you should donate the books to your local library! I'm sure they would appreciate it, especially because your books are new and in great condition.
My local library doesn’t take book donations. Unless, it is a special charity, like the prison library donation.
see you yesterday is suchhhh a good book i hope u like it!!! a little slow at first imo but definitely made me cry and is a 5 star for me
you should read 'before the coffee gets cold' for sureee ! it's a little bit different but i really enjoyed it and i recommend it to everyone. it's perfect to read on a rainy summer day with a cup of coffee in hand ! think you would really enjoy it
and 'the poppy war' and the rest of the series!!!! they aren't easy to read at times and it took me a while to finish the books but at the end it was worth it. you just have to keep going and you won't regret it
i've read 'the night circus' in december and oh boy.... the atmosphere in this book was so magical and the plot and the characters... it all worked sooo good together!!! and the little subplot of romance!!! highly recommend
'the secret history' is my favorite book of all times! that's all i'm gonna say. just read it and thank me later
Your spidey shirt is the cutest ever I'm obsessed Des !!🥺🫶🏻
Girl yes to the summer book comment! I no longer want to sit on the beach while reading about the beach so I read mainly thrillers so far this summer.
I have a loooooot of unread books aswell, you’re not alone girl. you seemed to be a bit down about it in the end of the video but please remember that we all love and support you no matter what, don’t be hard on yourself❤
I love buying books, but I made a deal with one of my best friends. I have to read 5 books before I can buy one. Has helped me a lot. But a book buying ban does sound interesting

des, bestie, it's completely fine if you don't get through your tbr
You should keep all of your unread books on one bookshelf and move them over to the other bookshelves once you've finished them :) It would be like a physical way of seeing the list of unread books getting smaller! Love your videos girly 💕
This makes me feel better about having 60 books on my physical tbr! I started a segment to try to keep myself on track reading instead of buying books, but I fell off the wagon and ended up buying 40 more and only reading 26 so far.
i absolutely loved saturday night at the lakeside supper club, it was a really cool multi-generational/multi-pov story! 5/5 ⭐️
I’d love to see you read Redeeming Love, The Secret History and If We Were Villains❤️
Educated, the nightingale, and in a jam are good! I’m also currently reading the to all the boys I’ve loved before series
I have a problem with my books 📚 and it’s nearly 400 on my tbr list so I know what you are talking about and I believe that you can beat it ❤❤❤
I was just about to go watch some of your old videos when the notification went off! You're so awesome Des!!!
You need to read “All the Light we Cannot see” it’s a pretty slow book for the first good part of it. But it’s what made me fall in love with reading again!!!
Truly devious is such a good fall read! Also before the coffee gets cold is one of my favorites!! Good luck getting through these girly, you got this!!
6:54 is one of my fav series ever! You definitely should shock them out
You’ve reached Sam is soooo good. Only book to ever make me cry.
you should definitely do a video about finishing series you’re in the middle of
You should read the turn of the key. It was absolutely amazing omg. One of my favourites
And radio silence. Literally Alice osemans best book
your shirt is so adorable
I feel like reading Frankenstein and Dracula would be great for an October vlog just cause spooky vibes
Depending on the genre you could donate the books you’re not interested in to a children’s or general/ family hospital. It would give individuals who are there a sense of comfort in times of unknown & stress💛
PLEASE read the grace year!! i also recently enjoyed the only survivors
You should do a dark romance reading vlog, maybe you can finish some series. I think it would be so satisfying for you
you can always bring a book or two you’re not planning on picking up while traveling and leaving them in those little libraries wherever you visit :)

All the light we cannot see 😍
Red Rising 🤯❤❤ give it another chance and listen to the dramatized version of the audio book, it helps with the beginning and helps understand his writing style till you get the hang of it. It’s my favorite book I’ve EVER read. It feels like a gift that I was even able to read and start this series.
Read My Dark Romeo. It’s so good. The the FMC is just so sassy and the banter between them are just so fun to read
A Man Called Ove 👏👏👏👏. Literally the best book ever written. Get tissues when you read that one. Its beautiful 🩷🩷
I love Sharp Objects, Redeeming Love, The Nightingale, and Educated. I feel like I loved Educated bc I’m a teacher and I love the idea that education can take you places and change your life but I don’t know if I would have been so obsessed with it if I wasn’t a teacher. But I loved.

Omg ILSYM Des you literally make me smile when u post
Wow! Love your collection of books. It’s a mini library in your room ❤
The Nightingale 😮
Girl this Book is so good you must read it
you should definitely do a "reading dark romance books for a week" video
Don’t let having a big tbr put you in a bad mood! Buying books and reading them are 2 separate hobbies. A big tbr just means that you can bookshop in your own shelves!
the love wager its the type of book you read in one day its litteraly so good its like a peace of the best cupcake PLEASE READ
you should read the Casandra Claire soon, You won't regret it. p.s. there are more shadowhunter books, and all the ones there are about shadowhunters.
Read the truly devious series this fall! It’s amazing and great fall vibes!
AHH I've been waiting all week for you to post
In November and in February I got the flu for a week straight and binge watched your vids the entire weeks. Well now I have Covid and here I am binge watching your vids.
pleaseee read sometimes i lie. the twist was insane and such a good book
Consider it as you always have a book to read. Just cause youre not interested in some at this very moment doesnt mean you never will be💕
Okay, now you have a comprehensive list of your TBR, may I suggest that you section them off by genre. By doing this, it should help you feel less daunted and while you make your way through them you can vary the genre so that you won’t get burnt out on reading the same type of book all the time. We don’t appear to have too much in common with books but I would highly suggest A Man Called Ove. I love Fredrik Backman’s writing and would always suggest him to people. Finally, enjoy yourself.
Des, I think you should post everyday cuz I MISS U TOO MUCH!
I love all Sophie Lark books so would highly recommend the Brutal Birthright Series and the Kingmaker series!!!
I'm in the process of reading Red, White and Royal Blue and it's nothing like I expected. It's so much better!!
whenever you reorganize your shelves you should make a catagory of books i've started but havent finished
