“She wanted to be a baker… that’s all she wanted” might be my favorite part of this video 😂

[@jaymeestahl]

I saw this comment before watching the video and the fact that I knew what book this was about and I haven’t even read it🤣

[@dana8041]

It’s so true though 😭

[@saradm991]

@@jaymeestahlSameee!!!! I have read it though. It's my absolute favorite! ❤

[@majacervin8867]

What book? I missed it lol

[@katiec8844]

@@majacervin8867Heartless! About the Queen of Hearts I believe, haven’t read it but now I want to know about this want to be baker version of her if that’s what it’s about 😂 low key

[@adoreyoumaddy]

“the best book that i will never recommend” is a perfect description.

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

That's the best way to describe "a little life"🤣

[@louise5353]

I read this comment before watching the video. Instantly knew which book it was 😭

[@Mckenziem44]

the short sentences and how fast she talks is literally so good for my ADD. like music to my ears

*by a thread!🫶

[@konniewiggins9280]

Chestnut Springs and The Naturals were the BEST series I read this year!

[@AddisonLewis-yi5ec]

I was SHOCKED by the 2 star rating on the cruel prince trilogy. I ate those books up, in my opinion they are amazing. If you like fantasy and enemies to lovers you need to give them a try

[@arandominternetuser66]

Same!

[@katgreer6113]

everytime i come across another person that hates it I'm always very entertained. A lot of the times there's no in between. people either hate it or love it. I think a lot of people want more romance in it lol. The rating for the book on goodreads has somehow gotten even lower too HAHAHA. It's very funny to me even though I would be the first person to recommend the series to anyone looking for a good fantasy (i'm obsessed with those books😭)

[@graceobrien9955]

judging by her other reads I think she may of thought it was heavily romance driven which it very well wasn't. I think thats what distinguishes the love and the hate for this trilogy.

[@bookishgirlie1]

Yeah same I'm obsessed with the series, in my opinion it flowed really well and i loved the slow burn of enemies to lovers

[@mariakara2419]

riiight?! maybe faeries (folklore) isn't really her thing because she didn't love Emily Wilde's folk of air is the LITERAL BLUEPRINT for enemies to lovers. idk if anyone could do it better. and the character development and world building is immaculate!! (also im still surprised that i never knew the 🐍 part hahahaaa) i read tcp in 2019 but didn't continue for some reason and recently read them all and LOVVVED THEM!! 😌💜

[@Maxine_Mayfield21Max-io8ob]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN HAPPIER, THANK U DESTINY, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

[@brie_elle]

The fact that Haley also had books fall in her video 😆 hilarious

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Her short sentences were so good! Great descriptions, but nothing too detailed considering it's a yearly wrap up. Love the way she talks about books!🥰

[@HatersLoveM3]

12:15 “I’ll Stop the World… I should’ve stopped reading this book.” HELPPPP OMGGG 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Shivanshi2012]

Happy New Year!!!! Thank you so much for being such a major part of my 2023!!! Hoping 2024 is a great reading year for you!!! Love you so much!!! 🫶🏻✨

[@nandinisharma5311]

Happy new year to my most comforting and sweet booktuber!! Bcause of you only I got myself into reading this year and loved the books that you recommended💕 Thankyou for making me experience the reading world💞💫

[@dianaisme]

I love the little shoutout to Jack, he's the goat! The blueprint!

[@catsarecooI.]

Happy new years Destiny! I've been becoming a book girly because of you, Sara, and Haley! I cant wait to see you and more books in 2024 :))

[@xCeleanax]

Des will forever be the ONLY person I trust with ratings. She and I just have the same taste and tend to rate books very similarly. Finally a person that feels the same way I do about Mile High. Just couldn’t read it and DIDN’T like the guy even though I tried repeatedly to get the hype.

[@vron413]

Daisy Jones will forever be my favorite book, currently rereading it and annotating it!! Happy New Year Des!! Wishing you a great reading year!! ❤

[@raielschwartz6837]

Wow, 148 books in a year is an incredible accomplishment! Your concise reviews gave me quite a few books to add to my reading list. Thanks for sharing your literary journey with us. Let's hope 2024 brings even more fantastic reads your way. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for doing this vid i absolutely love you, I have added a few new books to my tbr in 2024. Thank you!! For addressing that iron flame took the L of the year because it literally put me in a reading slump so I dnf it, but people are telling me to finish it, so I’m still debating

[@Tiffs-bookshelf]

I am currently doing a tandem read of EOS and TOD. That helps keep it more fast paced. But I’m loving TOD vs EOS. I CANNOT believe I waited this long to read the TOD series. I will jump into CC in February or so.
