Get out of a BOOKSLUMP with me 🫠📖⎮ finding my new fave books??

[@RachelCatherine]

book Des is back !!! loved hanging out with you for 20 mins 😌

[@readingwkatelyn]

i’m so glad the queen is out of her slump!!

[@lizziegracecrochet]

Watching one of your videos rn.and I LOVE it❤❤

[@libbyprice4837]

yessss

[@readingwkatelyn]

@@lizziegracecrochet omggg thank YOUUU 🫶

[@michaiahs]

Unpopular opinion: I don’t think there should be any graphic smut of any kind in teen books!!

[@ThatChristianGirl16]

PREACH

[@alexisedge]

Agreed!! and unless I blacked out while reading Heartless Hunter, I'm pretty sure it was fade to black!

[@shante9700]

Agree

[@kaitlynlorentzen4375]

Well I don't think that's an unpopular opinion... At least from everyone I've come across they have agreed with this sentiment. Also I am realizing that the genre New Adult is becoming more and more included in publishing which is a good thing because new adult is what YA books with smut are called. So it's not for young people 13 and up but for, well, new of age adults...18+. So keep an eye out for that category now.

[@scarletstevens]

Full agree 💯💯💯

[@niyaroseee]

everytime i watch your videos i think…. wow i really need her to do a room tour 😭 your room looks so amazing omg

[@swiftlykaylee13]

THE EDITING JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER 😍😍😍😍

[@sydrichey6600]

That type of book (meaning the ministry of time) seems like the ones to get your mind thinking enough for someone to pick up another book and look at it through a different lens and to make a reading slump go away

[@esmehammond6485]

this is such good timing, because I'm also slowly getting out of a reading slump. what really helped was watching you destiny because I FINALLY picked up the ACOTAR series and I haven't looked back since! i love it sm! so thank you for that recommendation, and i'm so glad your getting out of your slump!!! ❤

[@melanie6759]

Hearing you gush about The Ministry of Time makes it shoot up my tbr! I’m even more excited to read that one now! 😊🤩

[@sageegg]

It has been one of my favs this year!! Highly recommend ❤️

[@SpectralKyuubi]

I just tandem read powerless and powerful together and while not a perfect tandem read it made both books so amazing. I cannot wait for reckless in less than a month.

[@Itzharriet]

Is there a list of chapters for how to tandem read those?

[@lilian2631]

Your reaction to the ministry of time is currently my reaction while I’m reading/listening to tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. I’m already wanting to reread it so I can properly tab it and whatnot, even though I never really done it before. Mad at myself that I haven’t read it before. And I wasn’t going to, but now I will pick up the ministry of time too just based on your reaction. 💕

[@courteneybts2013]

me being in a book slump for 3 months🤣🤣🤣really needed this

[@swiftlykaylee13]

destiny i cannot explain how much serotonin i get when i see a post from you 🫶 ilysm

[@samanthawelch4044]

Barnes and noble employee: YA encompasses ages 14-21 so its pretty common for some book to be on the cusp of "not ok for teens". Its definitely super weird

[@hayleireads]

This is just what I needed I’m in such a bad reading slump right now

[@adrie2408]

Same. The book I'm reading is taking me 3-4 weeks when technically i could finish it in 3 days...it's not a bad book tho

[@LeahCoyle-r6e]

Please do an in depth bookshelf tour!! So glad you are out of your slump!

[@kiraashlyn9796]

I absolutely love how you edit. Can you do an editing tips??? I love you. Inspired me to start my own library ❤️

[@ashleyholder2218]

I was in a book slump, so I decided to take a book break! I know it’s different for you since this is your job, but the book break was needed. I haven’t read anything for almost a month and my mind just needed it. Going to pick up a book today :)

[@Leilabug221]

I literally just screamed and kicked my feet when I saw that you posted this! LOVE your videos! So glad you got outta your book slump!❤️

[@crochetwithhaley]

I’m so glad you made this video I have had a lack of motivation in general but also a book slump and haven’t read a single book this month and it’s almost halfway over

[@Outclaw_shorts]

Your editing is literally so good on this vid😊

[@folklore_08]

Yellow suits you so well Destiny!!❤

[@miahhargrove]

YAYAYAYAY OUR GIRL MADE IT THROUGH!!!! i needed a des video so bad

[@andelijaaa]

in my head we’re besties 💘💘💘 ur videos are helping me through so much rn bestie des

[@aabicr]

11/22/63 is my fav book ever!! it doesn’t even feel like 850 pages, i promise it FLIES by. i also spent like an hour crying after i finished it so do with that what you will 😁

[@Hummusss]

SAME (I was sobbing so hard)! Such a great read 🤩

[@McKennaVickers]

i feel you des bc i got in a slight slump and i had been waiting all year for the summer to read tog because i would have the time off to fully immerse myself in it and i was like ofc i get into a slump in summer 😭

[@KarlyJo]

so glad you loved the Romcommers!!! i gave it 5 stars and loved it SO MUCH 💗💗

[@ashieglam4861]

Last year I took the summer off of reading. I was just to busy with doing things outside that I was too tired to read. This year I have just been reading at night . I am not getting through a lot of books but I am enjoying it more.

[@abbeyjanevlogs]

This video. These feelings. SO FREAKING RELATABLE. It’s me right now in a weird funk/book slump but I can’t really explain it because when I pick up a book and actually read I love what I’m reading 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

[@user-cl7yt4vh6r]

Destiny don"t worry girl about the book slump. Mine started at May and ended yesterday, and I thing that it is because of the heat that we are getting into reading slumps. Don't worry about it. You' ve got this.

[@emmyrosam]

Des I need you to read Spark of the everflame this year!! It’s the only thing that’s given me anything close to Throne of Glass vibes and back into my fantasy obsession. Sloooow burn but book 2 was one of my absolute favourite reads of this year!!!!

[@emmyrosam]

Also as a fellow fast reader they’re bingeable in 1-2 sittings 👀

[@majalives]

I’ve read Ministry of time a few books ago & I’m so glad so many people are reading it now! It’s such a unique book & story, I’ll never forget them!

[@WendysInspiredReads]

The Rom-Commers and Heartless Hunter are some of my fav reads of the year! 🎉❤

[@LeannaSalmanson]

It's going to be a great day because Des posted a video!!🤩❤🫶

[@Nay7373]

Let’s gooooo! Hope you’re doing ok mentally. Have a good day! 💕

[@Itzezyyyy]

Wasn’t sure if romcommers would be goofy but I’m adding bc it might actually be hilarious and fun so I’m excited for these three book recs 🫶🏽

[@Kelvin0815]

I'm so excited for this video!! I also just got out of a slump 🤭🤭

[@chaeyoungsstrawberryfarm3327]

I’ve been in a slump for a good 3 months (I KNOW😭) and I can feel I’m getting out of it, but I’ve been preparing for 3 exams for a month. I have no energy for reading anything after reading exam stuff for a whole day, it’s so horrible😭😩

[@frecklesbenny]

Forth Wing put me in a book slump and now I just finished Iron flame and feel the same. I pre ordered the next book though even though it doesn’t come out until January.

[@olayalares]

Hi Des, happy you are back!! Being in a book slump sucks! About the book "The ministry of time"... there is a dark "coincidence" with a Spanish TV Show from 2015 with the same title and the same synopsis... If you want to check it out the name of the TV show is "El ministerio del tiempo". I don't know if the author or the BBC that wants to bring it to the screen have been reported for plagiarism but there is something shady in the story 🧐

[@myrawong1398]

I want to read those books but I'm still doing college work. Although I am really trying to prioritise on finishing my college work and tbr. So pls wish me luck, hopefully I can read more during my break.

[@TheatreLover-c3r]

The QUEEN has posted! We have been getting so spoiled lately by all of them!

[@Sophia-dy5ot]

Yes! Finally someone who was (You) also in a book slump (Me but sill in a book slump) but don’t get me wrong book slumps suck. Love you des

[@leximarissa]

AHHH A NEW DES VIDEOOOOOOO 🥰🥰🥰

[@johnnam1380]

I loved the romcommers! I also read it in one and a half sittings!

[@Sof_rha]

As someone whos in a slump rn this was just what i needed!

[@marioluna6454]

Love you so much, watching you vids make me so happy and I love you❤❤❤❤❤

[@Itzezyyyy]

Glad I already have ministry of time added, excited to read it now considering it got you out your slump 🥳

[@Emhutter]

I’ve been in a slump too and Magnolia Parks Long Way Home is what finally did it for me

[@melodycollis]

Another amazing cosy video 💓🎀🥰

[@abbiebrooks8049]

my book slump has been slumping so badly. I have started four different books and haven't finished a single one :( I've started rereading Archers Voice bc it's a fav. But even that feels slow rn!! I miss reading ugh.

[@elisewill5650]

been in the biggest slump for the past three or four months, trying to catch up on my booktubers and i’m thinking it’s been a universal slump

[@ForeverAMusicLuver]

I just recently got out of a 6month long book slump so this was very timely 😂

[@Jane_20406]

🫶🏻✨Our book girly is back✨🫶🏻

[@loganhill1610]

Sometimes it just takes the right book.

[@TheLazyDaze]

I read The Ministry of Time last week immediately after Haley recommended it cause it sounded so interesting 😍 AND THE ENDING BROKE ME 😭😭😭 Soooo good

[@kidcaster8051]

DES DAY YAYY!!

[@LivyTresa]

Can't wait to read Ministry of Time now! I have it on hold at my library and is just became available!

[@beautifulmama862]

I go through slumps every couple of months and im so tired 😢 this month I've read three books and so I just read when I read and don't when I don't want too....i dislike slumps

[@ilariastabile2662]

hii, i love your video so much and i'm asking what app do you use for editing?? thk ❤

[@dreaminrebecca]

Lies like poison by Chelsea pitcher helped me get out of a slump and it’s a fast paced book ❤

[@KaraboSihlangu]

haleypham loves that book she was reading and rated it 5stars 17:58

[@Itzezyyyy]

A way for me to get thru books is to read ten chapters and before I know it I’ll be halfway thru the book. It’s how I was able to read acotar and songbirds at the same time so I definitely felt accomplished afterwards haha

[@lizziegracecrochet]

Hey y'all! Im going on vacay to the beach and what Emily Henry book should I read? Or what romance book should I read?❤❤

[@kashishchadha1626]

you should definitely read beach read by emily henry! if you want something more mellow and heavy then happy place by emily henry! all of these are romances that give off beach vibes, definitely read these 💗💗

[@lizziegracecrochet]

@@kashishchadha1626 Tysm!❤❤

[@SamiKaye]

It’s an honor to be in a book slump the same time as Destiny! 📚🤦‍♀️

[@ForeveraDayDreamerxo]

I wishhhh Rebel Witch would come out in August 😭 It comes out in February

[@bebe_young]

Heartless Hunter got me out of a book slump in April. Read 4 books in April then 17 books in May after starting the month reading Heartless Hunter

[@GabrielaLopez-ky1kh]

[@dance4m]

i’m in a book slump right now lolsies 😹

[@Elizareads93]

I've been stuck on the same two books for awhile. I've been busy but watching stuff more then I've been reading lately. One book is horror and another one is non fiction

[@rowanreads0]

2:44 GURL YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RADIATING BEAUTY (you always are BUT IN THIS CLIP?!! WOOOW!! gorgeous gorgeous girl)

[@BrookCollins-fi4zz]

I am not in a book slump but I just haven't been reading good books. I have only had 2 five star reads this year but that was in March and haven't had one since then. Any recs anyone got? Loved the video Des though. Your gorgeous.❤

[@Itzezyyyy]

Heartless Hunter actually sounds interesting, might have to check that one out

[@marielbellan]

The Ministry of Time its a Spanish series (Netflix had used to stream it) … I need to look up if this that story or inspired by it or what because even the name it’s the same 🤔 (and the plot of course) but now need to find out lol

[@marielbellan]

Okay they have nothing to do with each other but now I want to know if the author was inspired by this tv show 🤔

[@Ellie-xf6os]

It feels illegal to be this early 🎉🎉🎉

[@Lillyjoy]

I was just in a slump too but my issue was I wasn’t enjoying anything I was trying to read and getting overly frustrated and annoyed with books. Luckily The Wishing Game and Five Broken Blades got me out of it after a month and a half of dnfs 😂

[@jennanicole9546]

Not a popular thing to do and it’s hard. But when I’m a book slump I delete all my social media for a week or so. Works every time

thankfully i am not in a slump but i own the ministry of time and heartless hunter (thanks botm) and this video makes me want to read both of them right now 😂

I will randomly just feel like reading a huge Stephen King book for no reason. Like it’s so sudden so now I just wait for those moments to happen cuz I know I’m in the mood for King LOL
