Book shop with me for 2023| New Year, New Books

[@helenbenzel6999]

I’m just waiting for her first 24 hour reading challenge of 2023 I love those videos so much!!!

[@pahujariya]

same!!! I wish that I could do those but I have my mocks and then the actual exams and I shall not be able to do this challenge until after my exams are over!😥

[@beccasaurus69]

I bought the Priory of the Orange Tree over the fall and my boyfriend took it immediately before I could read it and now I'm impatiently waiting for him to finish, and he already preordered book 2 coming in February😂

[@ajachappell1963]

😂😂😂 we love when boyfriends take our books

[@xiixDREAMxiix]

I am a fan of Momma Sidwell's cinematography!

[@haileyfussell]

To me, the key to understanding a difficult fantasy book is annotating. Color code and highlight the crap out of it, make a key, write down notes, etc. I really think it helps!!

[@merielodd2831]

i've been struggling with Priory of the Orange tree, just started annotating yesterday and already much more interested in reading it! would recommend annotating if a book is being slow for you :)

[@skylarrobles6306]

Natasha Preston books are so underrated. The Cellar was the first book I read by her in high school and i read it in maybe two sittings and I was obsessed with it and all of her novels. They are all pretty dark and messed up, a few have super crazy plot twists, Awake and The Lost, but I've read almost all of her books and they are easy to read and get you right out of a slump!

[@khalilahd.]

Omg I’m so happy we’re getting back to the book shopping vlogs! I can’t wait to see your opinion on all these new reads ❤❤

[@kaitlynnicolereads]

i have the cruel prince too but i can’t decide if i want to read it or not. everyone has such strong opinions about it.

[@Jordan_throws1]

I read it recently! The first book was not my fav but the second one is so much better but u do have to wait to the middle of the book for the 2nd to get better. But the last book I finished in one day and it was amazing! 5/5!

[@hey-vl5rc]

i read the first book and it was just okay but the other two were just incredible. Also a lot of people say its “enemies to lovers” but they are enemies for the most part so don’t expect lots of romance

[@kaitlynnicolereads]

thank y’all!

[@kerstenthiels3687]

I’m reading it now and it’s pretty good! I’m enjoying it and think about the characters when I’m not reading!! (If that makes sense lol)

[@lpspinkcookie8776]

I read the first two last year and loved them, currently doing a reread before I start the last book really recommend but is heavily political which some people can find boring

[@annagardiner8351]

I absolutely love the romance girly to ambitious literary fiction and fantasy pipeline.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

me too! it's so great to expand genres and find new favorites!

[@emry1116]

The priory of the orange tree sounds so good. It actually sounds kind of like Merlin

[@dianevasquez3939]

For 2023 so far I bought 4 new books but once I get paid I’m definitely going on a bigger book haul. I love watching your channel so much

[@emilyplante7063]

SO EXCITED for you to read city of girls! I picked that up in 2020 randomly and it's what started my reading journey! I always recommend it to everyone

[@Jordan_throws1]

Des u would also love the Remnant Chronicle Series! I’m on the second book rn and omg it’s so freaking good! I’m so obsessed and the premise is really cool! Basically a girl runs away on her wedding day (bc it’s an arranged marriage) then she is being followed by the man who was sent to kill her and the prince she left at the alter! Not a spoiler it’s on the back of the book! U have to read it!

[@katherinehawk6135]

The Cellar is one of my favorite books ever!!! I'm so excited for you to read it!

[@lilasophia7]

as someone who absolutely LOVED they both die at the end, the first to die at the end is AMAZING. its definitely top 3 reads for me in 2022 (maybe even top read??) i loved it so much. since it’s a lot longer that TBDATE you get to know the characters a lot more, their relationships, the romance, AHHH i just love TFTDATE so much i could go on and on. cant wait to see your thoughts and opinions about it!!

[@user-toomany]

20:05 yes the book was amazing !! I read it and sobbed and really opened the death cast world !

[@krisztinaajtai5710]

The night road is my favorite book from Kristin Hannah and actually it is the last book I told about my grandma before she passed away and she loved the story sooo much.

[@DonnaDoveWinters]

That yellow door is so appealing. Way to go with the bright colors!

[@hbeemarie]

I’m so glad you’re reading Kristin Hannah! I read Night Road in 2021 and loved it. I also highly recommend The Nightingale and The Great Alone. Two of my all time favorite books!!

[@Sam3liza1103]

The Nightingale is my favorite book!! Read it last year and loved it!

[@lashondrapelican3605]

I loved Night Road as well! Her books seem to always have me crying but they’re so so good. Watched a video interview of her and her focus is women -relationships, struggles and resilience.

[@kylamay20495]

i read the priory of the orange tree and absolutely loved it. it's a sapphic romance with beautiful world building!

[@wateruga]

Just discovered your channel today and you give me such Sara Carrolli vibes, another booktuber I watch and I love it.

[@sue734]

Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! I hope you have a great New Year 🤍 (and girl that hairstyle looks amazing on you🤩)

[@Magicwaves-]

[@nicoleali1164]

I LOVE THAT YOUR MUM WAS IN THIS VLOG❤❤

[@meganhipps6381]

[@karengant2555]

I love your vids Destiny. So, great to see how supportive that your Mom is toward you. Cherish it.💞

[@suesasabbari3371]

Just started journaling and it helps so much I’m so much organized with my thoughts my to do lists things to remember and my feelings

[@_mkdgaf]

The Cellar and Orbiting Jupiter were the two books that got me into reading in middle school :) so happy you’ll get around to reading The Cellar

[@jennw28]

I just started following you. I am wanting to get back into reading. I have a lot of books from when I was a teen that I would still like to read. I love watching your videos. I deal with bad depression and anxiety and watching your videos help control my thoughts.

[@julre7866]

Night Road is one of my fav books >> so glad you picked it up!!

[@mariamadrigal5587]

The night road sounds good I’ve been wanting to get it. Definitely picking it up for this year.

[@Jordan_throws1]

DES U NEED TO READ THE DOROTHY MUST DIE SERIES! It is an amazing fantasy that isn’t hard to get into and the subplot of romance is one of my favorites!

[@shatiffahbeanaland8819]

Barnes and noble is my peace 🧘🏽‍♀️I love the atmosphere it like chills my anxiety 😊

[@elizabethmolina5095]

man, you’re my favorite booktuber, you bring such a great energy to the book community and your videos are just so pleasant! hope you’re doing well in your endeavors!

[@melissacoast3167]

8:18 what a coincidence, I just started reading Priory of Orange Tree today! I’ve been super intimidated to start it. I’ve read 2 chapters and I think I’m going to like it! Just gotta not stress about all the names of places and people that I can’t keep track of at the moment. 😂 I’m sure that will get easier as I get into the story.

[@emmahathaway8166]

the cellar is so good!! i love natasha preston i’ve read most of her books but the cellar is definitely my favorite.

[@doraokeke3228]

your videos give me so much serotonin, I can't wait to see your review on those books 🥹💖

[@rosiereadsalot8939]

omg i loved priory of the orange tree so muchhhh

[@nelli_lakatos]

I love short stories so much! 😍

[@madi_iiiiii5]

Please do a book vlog for the Priory of the Orange Tree!

[@thelifeofabi2338]

I read "The Priory of the Orange Tree" like 2 weeks ago and it was pretty good! It is confusing for like the first 100 pages but I rated it 4 stars!

[@allyc6261]

It’s good but has pacing issues

[@thelifeofabi2338]

@@allyc6261 I agree

[@annascorner84]

Nice of your mom to help you out! Also lol my guess was 0 so I was wrong. Sometimes u just get sidetracked from a list . Happens to be a lot lol

[@kendrahammond3487]

The queen of nothing is the best in the cruel prince series for sure ! A great series all around in my opinion.

[@allisonfrins]

kristen hannah is one of my favorite authors. if you loved firefly lane, the sequel fly away is also amazing. night road was great but the best one written EVER is the great alone.

[@djshugars2901]

So excited to see the amazing videos you post this year. I love your channel and thank you for making 2022 so great

[@samanthalee9878]

Your last book haul was the reason I subscribed to your channel. I love your energy.

[@nataliepaigep]

For Christmas I got 11 books and I’m hopeful going to the store today to get one or two more that I’ve seen around. Gotta stock up!

[@cunninglilcutie]

Oh my goodness those cloth bound classics are SO GORGEOUS, sometimes I go to Barnes and noble and just stare at them lol 💖💖💖

[@nataliepaigep]

What you said about your journal is literally exactly how I feel I can only write what I’m feeling I can’t talk about them

[@nilahmarie6640]

the cellar used to be a harry styles fanfic i loved in on wattled. i can't wait to see what you think of it

[@salenaangela]

The night road is so good! Get ready for the water works 😭 my absolute favvvv Kristin Hannah is The Great Alone

[@itsteagan3216]

[@cynthialunaa07]

[@Itsmemadison]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE NATASHA PRESTON I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HER BOOKS

[@aot1881]

I really like her hairstyle it’s so cute 🫶🏻

[@caityemirzian4577]

City of Girls is one of my favorites! Trust me it’s one you won’t stop thinking about.

[@purplepeaches7152]

OMG you were so close to my favourite book in the book store!! The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. You should definitely give it a try!!!! At 2:23 your hand was like almost grabbing for it 🤣 unless you did pick it up and just cut it out idk but you should try it!!!

[@angeljohnson5335]

The Cellar is SO good!! But has a very, very heavy and possibly triggering topic, so just keep that in mind going into it! ❤️

[@victoriaking013]

I want to read The Priory of the Orange Tree so bad. I've been eyeing it all last year, but the size of the book does look very intimidating. (I've also mostly read manga, so that doesn't help my anxiety with it lol.)

[@aimeecarlene3157]

des happy new year!! i wish u the best for this year, u deserve it

[@mikaylalightheart561]

i LOVED night road. it was so soul crushing. i have to re-read it asap. i hope u like it!!!!

[@awpageofabook]

New year new books indeed!!

[@sophietankard7936]

I devoured priory of the orange tree in like 3 days. For such a dense fiction book it was so fast paced and interesting! Dragons yes pleade

[@meredithtales]

I love these videos ❤❤

[@avy466]

The adventure of Sherlock Holmes are so good!!! You should definitely watch the Sherlock series, it’s only 3 episodes a season

[@kaatharinaas4949]

the leuchtturm (means lighthouse) notebooks are the best, they are a germany brand so the quality is so good. in europe we only use these bc we don’t have the archer and olive ons

[@kaialangaker5855]

THE CELLAR IS AMAZING. I read it 6+ years ago and think about it to this day.

[@TaylorAnnYager]

I love your videos. It’s always such good vibes

[@trinityhill4586]

The priory of the orange tree was pretty good while reading it. But honestly I haven’t thought about it once since I finished it. Love the haul though!

[@fayenoble3883]

Ooo been thinking about buying priory of the orange tree! Soo excited to hear your thoughts!

[@berlintechno7907]

[@sharonhill6184]

I loved The Night Road by Kristin Hannah. Hope you enjoy it too. Looking forward to seeing your reading vlogs. Happy New Year to you and you family 😊

[@ColeChartier]

priory of the orange tree is on my TBR for 2023 as well - but with six kids it might take me all year to read lol!

[@rubyanddelilahandnani]

I only have 2 and it’s hard.. can’t imagine 6 😅.. it’s like you can’t read 5 min without being interrupted

[@courtgarris1396]

Omg Betty is in my top five books of all time!! It is so amazing! It is heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time! I really hope you like it! This was most definitely an epic book haul! 😊😉

[@clary1120]

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as well as the Infernal Devices trilogy, all of them are my faves! Can't wait to see you read them! They are worth your time, I promise!! Lots of love! ❤❤
