You should do a video where you go into barns and pick out books you haven’t seen/know nothing about and decide if you read them by the first few pages!

[@anuradhakulkarni8121]

recently (a week now) i've have been feeling so depressed and my mind is not the brightest rainbow land anymore. your videos honestly made me feel better and i actually ended up smiling after a couple days. Thank you so much for sticking with me without even knowing my existence for 3 years now❤❤❤

[@shy4211]

another opinion: authors should put trigger warnings and spice warnings in their books

[@Zohaa58]

Exactly completely agreeing that authors should provide trigger warnings. As someone who experiences intense reactions to graphic content, like blood etc ( I was reading about childbirth) While reading, I unexpectedly felt overwhelmed and scared, (Also collapsed in the classroom lol ) Trigger warnings can help readers prepare emotionally and make informed choices about what to read.

[@kianalikesbooks]

they do put tw

[@katgreer6113]

really? they usually do. It's like right before the first page.

[@willhatfield362]

Depends on the kind of book, and honestly the cover. Like how most romance books now look very cutesy and childlike, but some are super smutty, those should have spice warnings. But if I'm in the horror section, I don't want a trigger warning list. I know what I'm getting into because I can read the summary, I know it's a horror novel so it'll probably be messed up, and I don't want every aspect of the book spoiled for me.

[@lexideshields2085]

spice warnings would be great!!

[@melanienieves3615]

Not even 5 seconds in i said "okay miss freddy kruger" ..... love you queen

[@jenn9049]

this might seem weird lol but i thoughts she was giving Garfield the cat

[@PowerOfBooks1902]

I love your sit down videos! I love hearing your thought process as it is the MOST FASCINATING thing

[@shainav3326]

in middle school, they said open to a random spot in the book. If it interest you then try, if it doesnt put it down. I dont do that often anymore, i usually go look at reviews.

[@Claire-hl6vq]

I’m the exact opposite with watching adaptations! I’ll watch em if I didn’t care about the book but if the books a favorite, I won’t watch the movie/show cause I don’t want the image in my head ruined!

[@LottieSmalley]

Me too!!! I’m scared to watch the firefly lane tv show on Netflix 🫣

[@belindapj]

@@LottieSmalleyit’s good but also a little corny. Ive heard the book is really good but unfortunately I watched the show before I even knew it was based off a book so I haven’t read the book. Wish I would have experienced it the other way around for sure 😏

[@miawilson8783]

a 42 min video from bestie dessss 😭 this made me so happy for no reason

[@arabellapearl9925]

14:12 Daisy jones and the six adaptation was soo good. Glad I read the book first before watching it though.

[@LottieSmalley]

Agree!! So well done

[@elise441]

yeah the negative review hate is so weird! i think a lot of people do get sensitive about people having different taste, but why can't we all look at 1 star reviews of our favorite books and laugh because the reason the reviewer hated it is the reason we loved it? books are never flawless, but if they're your fave it means you can look past those ❤

[@effyapples6219]

i agree with brother sidwell 10000%. I DNF a LOT of books at the start (almost always libby borrowing)

[@angbuss]

and it's always so disappointing when it's not a libby book but your actual purchase and you realize you hate it 😒

[@effyapples6219]

@@angbuss trueeee! I sat with so many books I’d dipped my toes in and didn’t like. Decided to donate them to a charity shop 🤷‍♀️ now I stick to kindle only unless I’m certain! Or I loved it on kindle and want to display it :)

[@arabellapearl9925]

24:04 honestly this one is so true. Every time I read in bed, I fall asleep reading my book and most of the time I lose my place 😭 it’s actually so annoying

[@Zohaa58]

[@PutonaChicFace]

I don't want to be that person but fantasy is literally the genre were most characters are killed off. Due to the nature of the world and the plot. Romantasy...is another story. Adult fantasy that doesn't focus on romance, but sometimes have way better romance than romantasy in my opinion, break my heart all the time because of how many characters I fell in love with died 😭 But with romantasy authors are too scared of doing that because they're too scared of their fans being upset and not reading their books again, which is a pretty big issue actually.

[@elisabethprice4697]

Ok but if you feel that way about the fantasy books you are reading then you should try to read higher fantasy! Stuff that’s not romantasy! Cause characters you care about die all the time and the stakes are so high!

[@Ad0814]

i got the preorder of grandest games but since preorderning and receiving it, my thoughts on the world have changed so i decided to donate it- can't believe so many books by her in that world are coming out so soon after each other (like the point about rushing releases)

[@super_geto]

I really love 3rd person pov because i developed reading habit from fan fictions when i was teenager and all the ff are written in 3rd pov...

[@jessicamxe]

I actually love the Freddie Krueger jumper 😂❤

[@marereadss]

15:15 and 16:59 - THIS! that's why i dont think every book needs a media adaptation.. it ruins imagination and most of the time completely ignores the book itself like the message and plotlines within. while im happy the author has the success, i think they should sometimes leave it alone. Audiobooks do count as reading, it has the word 'BOOK' in the name and also as someone who struggles to focus sometimes, it's helpful especially with pronounciations and actually consuming the book even if it's in another format. also i think it's okay to have an negative opinion about a book but when the author themselves encourages their fans to go attack that person for having it (even if they weren't tagged in said review) then it's not okay.

[@Mackenzie-nh8yw]

8:09 my thing is I’m a self insert girly. The perspective doesn’t matter, it’s me in different forms 😂

[@Harley24986]

I refuse to even give a book a chance if there is a love triangle. I REFUSE.

[@willhatfield362]

The take that if a book takes effort to understand/read it's not very good is wild to me. Like go read a children's book if you wanna understand it without effort. Sure, sometimes it's nice to read something that doesn't take effort, but reading in itself is a mental process. Might as well think more and learn something and get out of the things you read.

[@elisabethprice4697]

As for audiobooks I listen to them all the time and I do think you can say you’ve read a book even If you’ve listened to it! But if we’re being technical than reading a book is the act of using your eyes to physically read a book or screen… so you technically did listen to it but you have “read” the book and it’s the same content as having read a physical version!

[@Showtunediva]

I still hope you do a video where your niece Mila picks your TBR. Would love to see you review my mom’s books Des.❤ I love you.

[@TashaxMack]

I am somewhat like your brother when it comes to DNFing after a few pages. I will try a sample before I buy it but there are times where I have a moment of weakness and buy on a whim lol 13:45 I had a discussion with my coworkers about this and pretty much all of them said that if they watched the movie then they won’t read the book, but I’m on the other end.

[@melanie6759]

Reading in bed works a lot better with those backrest pillows that have the arms lol I have one and it really makes a difference with getting into a cozy position in bed and to hold a book! ☺️ Otherwise reading in bed isn’t my favorite spot either

[@kookies_lodge525]

DES!!!! It's been a rough week and just being able to chill watching your video while eating some diner is saving everything. Thanks because you are one of my comfort spaces

[@hannahway5564]

No you need the kindle clicker!! Last night I was reading in bed and refused to hold anything. Propped my kindle up. Had my clicker- read 15% of my book and fell asleep. Perfect night.

[@SofiaPelemis]

This is such a funny thing to do LET DESTINY HAVE HER OPINIONS!!!!

[@reading.rachel.]

heavy on the "audiobooks are real books"!!!!

[@Zohaa58]

Her way of doing everything 🌷

[@oliviawhite633]

I think that the desire to categorize genre is a bigger ‘problem’ than tropes. Lots of the best books I’ve read transcend any one genre

[@Jane_20406]

A new video>>>> Love your channel Des keep going🫶🏻✨

[@blimeyifancyreading]

The thing I don't want to waste money on books that are hopeless or confusing to read LOL Reviews like this are quite honest at times!

[@Liz_510.]

I love this video and my bedroom is my safe place so I love to read in my bed and I love my kindle, I love my books as well .The audiobook part I agree with you it's all the same sometimes I have a headache or my eyes hurt from staring at a computer for work all day I just want to sit or lay down, put my overear headphones and get lost in my story or I am a mom doing dishes, laundry, sweeping mopping and still able to finish a book is my happy place ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@sydrichey6600]

My opinion is that rating is how you see fit I rate based on vibes of the book and how it makes me feel in that very moment I am not the type to give a book a bad review unless it doesn't suit my vibe

[@autumn64500]

with audiobooks i feel like it can't be so black and white with opinions. audiobooks don't work for me, i can't follow the story or i zone out and realize i hadnt been listening for 20 minutes, but i wont ever dock someone for listening to a book over reading it.

[@_sararenee]

I loved the book Good Girls Guide to Murder (5 star read for me) and absolutely hated the show. I stopped it 1/2 way through the first episode. It was nothing like the book.

[@leen34568]

34:14 oh my god yes. do i love the acotar core six? yes. but one of them should’ve died. it’s just crazy that they got threw everything without dying.

[@LotteRometsch]

Already know this is going to be a great video. Love you destiny ❤❤

[@elisabethprice4697]

As for my unpopular opinion: it is that romance books are just plain boring, bordering on bad depending on your view of life and stuff… as mine is a Christian view I don’t really appreciate spice… also I just feel like nothing interesting happens in romance… like who cares about people in our world who want to obsess over another person or whatever! I mean I’m not trying to be mean or anything you can like anything you want but that’s just my thoughts on it!

[@miahhargrove]

the audiobook discourse is so irritating. saying an audiobook doesn’t count as reading, is ableism. 🫣
