Going Through My Nightstand TBR for August

[@obiwankenobiiiiii]

I would love to be in a class where Des talks about books the whole time 😍

[@awpageofabook]

That would be one interesting class!

[@yourfavvperson]

ugh a literal dream

[@Sof_rha]

Omg same!

[@ves09]

Omg yes pls🙏

[@justalilnugget]

Yes imagine if she was your substitute teacher for school

[@ellaesther2007]

You should totally do reading thrillers for a week to knock some of these books off the TBR.

[@NovasLitLibrary]

Girl, i’ve been on a book buying ban for months & i live vicariously through you buying books so if you wanna break your ban, you go right ahead, im not stopping you, Des!! 🫡

[@madisong881]

A 5-6 hour video from des on acotar?! i will turn that into a full premiere with popcorn and everything i am READY

[@starryskye2]

having an ever-growing nightstand tbr is so real. right now I have 8 on mine and im several chapters into 5 of them 💀

[@jamirthestreamer7420]

Literally everytime Im in a book slump i just watch one of your videos and literally makes me keep reading

[@camillaemily]

when destiny posts my day is complete

[@belladevine2008]

So relatable

[@SunsetBrooke]

Ye

[@megamoneyDo]

I just wanna say that I am grieving the loss of a very close loved one. And I have been so thankful for your videos because they are helping me relax and forget for a few minutes. Thank you.

[@Grace-s]

i'm sorry for your loss ❤️ take it easy!!

[@whatsdesreading]

i hope you’re doing well love, i am pushing peace your way 🩷

[@martynanowak9108]

"a man called ove" broke my heart and then put it together again

[@ParmidaPormehr]

A man called ove is such a wholesome and heartwarming read :) Hope you enjoy it

[@emilielouderback7752]

YOU HAVE HAD THE TURN OF THE KEY ON YOUR PHYSICAL TBR FOR SO LONG NOW, AND IT IS SO SO SO GOOD DES. PLEASE READ IT SOON PLEASE. THRILLER READING VLOG. IT'S A 6 STAR READ FOR ME!!!!

[@mariaruiz8820]

I’d totally want to get sent to Ms. Sidwell’s and talk about books all day long!!!

[@lilybrowning4862]

Omg radio silence is so damn good and kinda relatable in some ways about pressures of education and university. A good read :)

[@PairEyewear]

We LOVE personality glasses! 🫶 ALL of them looked amazing on you!

[@mateeaelenaalexandru]

My first Fredrik Backman was A man called Ove and I really enjoyed it. I am so excited for you to read it. And I also can't wait for you to try Wrong place, wrong time because it's been on my tbr for a while.

[@violetsgamingunicorn396]

I literally SCREAMED when she picked up radio silence I LOVE ALICE OSEMAN!!!!

[@rebeckaalmgren4719]

I love seeing people read Fredrik Backman, he's a swedish author and we love him. A man called Ove has been a movie for a few years but a swedish one!

[@leep.9808]

radio silence is LITERALLY the best book i have ever read. you don't understand. if you've ever had a complicated friendship that takes over your soul or been the "gifted kid" READ THIS GODDAMN BOOK YOUR LIFE WILL BE CHANGED FOREVER!!!

[@7laurseven7]

Tbh it may help to do an unhauling, you may not care having a ton of unread books, but if there are any you either dont think youll read/will but probably wont enjoy then it helps me to do unhauling to keep books that i want on my tbr

[@ashleythaxton3638]

The movie a man called Otto was so heart wrenchingly moving and sad. Me and my husband were crying. I can’t wait to hear about the book

[@mikaylabrawner8573]

I would a 100% watch a 6 hr video of you rereading ACOTAR. i’m literally obsessed…. also i would love to see your reaction to ACOSF because its one of my favorites from the series. i appreciate you, watching this made my day💕

[@scarletstevens]

I do the SAME EXACT THING!! Load books up on my nightstand that I want to read sooner than my other stacks haha! 💯

[@elizabethrichie6231]

absolutely loved a man called Ove. Reading it the second time was even better. BALLED my eyes out, 5/5

[@caitlinjolly3332]

The first video I saw of yours was an older video and you talked about pair eyewear and i got a pair for blue light only and im already obsessed. Had them for about two weeks now

[@mn3330]

Des, anytime you ask what you should do (like if you should put acosf in the acotar video) I want you to know - do whatever you feel. we’ll watch and love anyway

[@mandinicole]

The cellar is what started my reading obsession. ITS SO GOOD

[@l.bsaint722]

It would be soooooo much fun if you did a video counting how many books of your physical TBR you read during your book buying ban!! So you can see if it was actually worth it and if it worked or not! Love your videos ❤❤

[@stephaniedunhamwrites]

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who does this with my books. I’m always putting books on my nightstand.

[@fofeeuh]

miss girl has been pumping out the content! love it

[@EssentiallyBooked]

I’ve never bawled as hard as a book as I have in Ove. It’s so wholesome!

[@JuliaRegnell]

Omg same! It crushed me, but in the best way possible😭

[@nadiyakhan3215]

Girl, I have been having a reading slump for two days, but watching your videos makes me wanna read again!

[@lyricsreads]

literally the PERFECT way to start the new week❤️

[@avab7118]

Destiny you need to read the Beartown series! It was so entertaining and his writing made me so connected to the characters.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

I love the Beartown Series! I just finished it this summer and I watched the show! It was great!

[@aliyahpotts]

des, you came through with the timing!!! taking off my acrylics today and now i have entertainment😂

[@AnnaBea]

I am excited for you to read quite literally every book on this TBR

[@Sof_rha]

I clicked the notification SO fast lol. I also have a nightstand tbr was and I have like 10 or more on it at all times😂 ilysm Des❤

[@aimee8135]

Radio Silence was such a fantastic book that I read right before I started college, and it was just so perfect 🫶🏻

[@kianalikesbooks]

desss PLS make your acotar reread LONGGGGG bestie.. i’m so excited for it😏😏😏😏😏😏😏😏

[@EllaNoglo]

The cellar is my favorite book of all time!! Literally my whole family is begging to read that book because I’m the only one who has the book in the house…I love this book and it’s my favorite!! I rated it 12 out of 5 stars!!

[@izzylabounty]

Wow I agree I loved it the writing was perfect one of my favorite books ever I can’t wait until she actually reads the cellar I want to know what she thinks wow Ella you have such a beautiful book taste!

[@EllaNoglo]

Thanks

[@kathleenmulvihill7801]

“Literally “ and “genuinely “ equals a happy Destiny 🎉❤Love to see you happy!! 🥰

[@maryannsulic1174]

Wrong Place, Wrong Time is enthralling. Loved it.

[@HarlowRose]

I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet or not but that is actually not the last book in the Naturals series! There is an e-novella as well!

[@dominiquemcmillian7059]

i just read a flicker in the dark! i was about to DNF it when it started to get good! I thought it was pretty slow in the beginning BUT the story got really good! I would also add a TW to the book which I was not expecting. TW: mental health, self harm !

[@FictionAddictions]

The Inmate is a good thriller! We read it for our Freida McFadden reading vlog. Also, The Only One Left by Riley Sager is SO good! My favorite book of his so far! I felt like The Only One Left has a totally different vibe than his other books, in a good way!

[@ElinWinblad]

Was it better than house across the Kate cause that was missing some plot points

[@FictionAddictions]

@@ElinWinblad I have not read House Across the Lake, but I didn't find any missing plot points in The Only One Left. I think the book had a fantastic ending and all my questions were answered.

[@squishybear8286]

The Cellar and The Inmate are both so good! I read The Inmate in one sitting and read The Cellar over 2-3 days

[@joymitchell9072]

A Man Called Ove is an awesome book! It's prounced Ooh-veh. 😊❤

[@AfraMehdi]

omg des you should totally do a "7 thrillers in 7 days". I'D EAT THAT SHIT UP

[@emmalouxx]

I got the Afterlight version of Forget Me Not. So excited to read it, but first I have to read Fourth Wing, Divine Rivals, and the entire Throne of Glass series! 😅

[@lizzie8974]

i’ve been loving your videos recently! this summer was really hard as i went through a falling out with friends that really unmotivated me to read. But you’ve motivated me to start reading again! thank you ❤❤❤❤

[@justmartine]

Radio Silence is one of my favorite books ever. Worth the read fr

[@Nerdbanana8264]

The Cellar by Natasha Preston started my obsession with Natasha Preston/April Henry! The book is pretty dark but UGH the writing!! Both are very similar authors. I LOVE their work. I hope you enjoy it!

[@shelbyskeen5151]

Nightstand books are a thing! Thank you for bringing awarenesss to this 😂

[@caityemirzian4577]

I have not stopped thinking about city of girls since I read it last may!

[@Samscozybooknook]

I’m reading the cellar right now! I got 200 pages in and would have finished in one sitting if I didn’t have to go to work 😂😂 it’s so good! Now I need all her books immediately

[@dairenys]

I read a flicker in the dark and absolutely loved it!! Can't wait to see your review of it

[@minnttzz]

u give me motivation to read again because ive been slacking literally love ur videos soo much

[@elizabethortega1902]

I did not expect the music at the end and it was a sweet little surprise i started grooving to it

[@Aubrey_Marie]

Those glasses fit you perfectly! I need a pair like them. 💕

[@PairEyewear]

We agree! :)

[@mariaduda5747]

radio silence is one of my favorite books

[@han_a_mania]

I read Ove last week and it’s the best book I read this year. My heart ❤️❤️❤️

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Love it when you post, Good luck on your TBR

[@lindsaynicole4812]

I do the same thing on my nightstand!!! And I have a backup on my dresser as well! I have book piles everywhere!

[@leahtison7082]

her nightstand tbr is my whole tbr

[@MyLocsareREAL]

You will love “A Flicker in the Dark” I read it in two 2 days which is Super Quick for me 🤷🏾‍♀️💕

[@chloecook7949]

i was on a cruise for five days and missed so much content 😭 it’s good and bad cause now i have so much to binge lol

[@jennasorenson1767]

I vote you include Silver Flames!

[@smileyharper]

Literally picking my tbr right now!! From my TBR jar that is but 🎉

[@Showtunediva]

9:25 This book is fantastic. The movie is one of Tom Hanks’s best performances.

[@fashingrl]

I do the nightstand books too, but then I do the coffee table pile, the pile on some random shelf and on it goes ;)

[@olimpiart]

I named my cat Ove because of that book. Even when he was small he looked like an old man, so it fits him very well👨‍🦳

[@mckaylabrock]

you should do a vlog where you read “a man called ove” and then watch the movie and compare and contrast, say what you liked and didn’t like etc

[@teethtown8159]

I would love to be in a class where you just talk about books. That would be the best thing ever

[@dianaisme]

I love when Des posts!!!😍

[@daiz-67]

i absolutely loved radio silence ❤

[@IPerez87]

Hi Des! I started reading thrillers in between romance books just as a pallette cleanser and its working for me so that could work for you as well 😊 I enjoyed The Housemaid by Frida Mcfadden and Riley Sager's Final Girls and I just picked up The House Across the Lake 😁✌🏻 Blessings!

[@Kelvin0815]

Can you do a Reading Thrillers for a Week video with the Thrillers on your TBR?

[@ginnyluv4601]

I totally recommend reading from blood and ash series! ilyyyy❤

[@iarpita]

had a lil sick day today but i kid you not your channel is all i've been watching for i think 3 hrs now lol

[@madisonefaw6295]

I absolutely loved the cellar!!! Such a great thriller

[@ellenstewart301]

Beartown is sooo good! I still have the 3rd one to read but I have to emotionally prepare. I want to read the rest of his books. I've read Anxious People and And Every Morning The Way Home Gets Longer (really emotional). I thought a Flicker in the Dark was verrry predictable.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Love Fredrik Backman! Can't wait to read more from him. And I agree with you. I found "A Flicker in the Dark" to be predictable too.

[@camillecreps]

Alice Oseman is my FAV author!

[@yourfavvperson]

i would love school if i had a class where you talk about books to us

[@juliagrodecka5568]

Des can you please do a full spoiler reading vlog for "to all the boys I've loved before" trilogy cause I just read it I need to hear all ur thoughts and opinions

[@floral-smoke]

I have been finishing Freida McFadden in 1 day. The Locked Door was great, the Perfect Son was great. highly recommend

[@tiffanieleighann]

natasha preston books are AMAZING!! I read the lake and you will be mine by her and let me say i was SHOCKED bc like you i thought since it was ya it wouldn’t be too crazy but wow sm happens in them!! literally one of my fav authors fs!

[@JulEnglefaris]

I LOVE The Turn of the Key 🗝️

[@anjaleejayasooriya208]

Currently reading ACOWAR ☺ Do the "Nesta"' one separately so if one decide to read it later there wont be spoilers.And thank you for al the videos you make my day better💜

[@madyeidle]

I used your code for my first pair of glasses and they look so good!! Thank you so much for sharing it!!!!

[@ingridbakka]

Radio Silence is so good!!! You should definitely read it soon!

[@CarlyUTube]

That sneaker collection is admirable❤

[@panicfvx]

I’ve started putting books that I have in my tbr on a little shelf above all my unread books so they are constantly staring at me and I won’t forget I have to read them😂 my tbr isn’t too big (20-30) and so they’re all facing me at all times 💀

[@clairelolyeah]

Ahhh I’m on a book buying ban too!!! & I have a nightstand TBR that seems to change every week during the month because I need to switch genres like after ever book lol

[@sophia-pv9kf]

You know it a good day when destiny posts❤

[@sarahengel4506]

you 1000% should read A Man Called Ove, had me SOBBING

[@taylorsversion1433]

PLEASE MAKE THE ACOTAR VIDEO THAT LONG I WOULD EAT IT UP💗💗💗

[@naomisteenstratoussaint]

The part where you talked about being a teacher, I am aaaactually sitting down with my phone propped up higher so yeah I am a student rn 😂😭

[@xx_sailor_m3rcury_xx]

the cellar is gonna FEEL like a wattpad book. its really good tho

[@zezoo1448]

Now you motivated me to go through my nightstand physical tbr. Lysm ❤

[@cosyreadingclub]

[@angylcantread]

A Man Called Ove is so good!! be prepared to cry though lol
