[@sammyfigs]

I second this!

[@user-gj6uu5ye9g]

yesssss

[@NabitAseje]

💯

[@Livvybenten]

That would be soo funnn

[@haleylikestoread]

normal people is one of my favorite books i think it’s a great character study and it shows miscommunication in a very real life way and isn’t contrived just for the plot

[@KathyDubs]

I think it's normal for book tastes to change over time. The more genres you read or explore, the more you realize what you like. Even within a genre, the taste is different, and that might come down to stylistic choices the author makes or the tropes that are used. It is sad to go back and read books I loved before sometimes though because now I'll be like....why did I like this, lol.

[@erinherb]

i’m SO HAPPY you loved normal people!! it’s truly such an amazing story and i absolutely love the way it was written!!!

[@ellasheehan]

i really like the way it was written, and some of the quotes were really beautiful... but I felt like the actual story/plot was not my favourite.. like the main problem was miscommunication throughout the whole book and I didn't really like that :)

[@erinherb]

@@ellasheehan that’s totally fair! i usually hate miscommunication but in this book it felt so realistic to me. it didn’t feel like a trope or like it was only put there for conflict.

[@natatatt]

i really like what you said about not applying the same lens/expectations to different book genres. I feel like there is a segment (probably small) of romance readers who tend to see romance 'tropes' in another type of fiction and then dismiss it for that reason (ex. "oh this is enemies to lovers I don't like that trope").

[@melodycollis]

I honestly can’t get over how unreal your hair is. A real life aurora 😍🥰

[@marianapimentaa]

I love her. Idk if it’s because she is always giving good vibes or because she is just amazing, but she’s just so incredible! I’m so addicted to her videos!❤️❤️

[@whatsvanessareading]

I just rewatched Normal People last week! I loved that book when I first read it, and I want to reread it soon as well. I also finished Conversations With Friends this morning. I have also been feeling myself growing and having shifts in my interests. You are so relatable Des!! I’m so happy you posted today I hope you have a blessed weekend!

[@nicabobokhidze9462]

I love rereading books. It feels like coming home❤ you also usually see things WAY differently after knowing everything so seeing foreshadowing of things is quite amazing

[@breaavril]

i was so happy when i saw you giving normal people another chance in your disney vlog! 😭 i loved this video it's such a good idea 🫶🏽 i've rated all of Emily Henry's books 5 stars except people we meet on vacation i rated that one 2 stars and ive been itching to reread it just to see if i feel the same because i know so many people that loves it so much

[@haileya7803]

Videos ideas! Reading books that are the same colors, letting us choose your next read, we gives you numbers and it chooses a book on your bookshelf/tbr, fav booktubers choose your next read, finishing series started!!

[@claireperry5645]

Normal people is the perfect depiction of fear of vulnerability and wanting someone, but being too scared to lose them. So you take them in whatever capacity you believe with keep them in your life. Instead of being honest and risking that person leaving a huge absence, you convince yourself that whatever will allow them to stay in your life is enough for you.

[@jodie7113]

If I read Normal People I definitely wouldn’t have loved it (and literary gotten a tattoo dedicated to it) when I was a teen. Reading it in my 20s changed me as a person and is still my favourite book 4 years later and I reread it every year. I relate to Connell so deeply. Glad you gave it a second chance!

[@aubbookedup]

I love these type of videos!! I think for me, timing is everything when I’m rating books. I read the midnight library when I was in a very low time of life, needed help, got a new mental diagnosis and meds, and it absolutely changed my life and outlook. Five stars. But if I were to read it now, I’d be like “ok I get the point wrap it up” I got out of a reading slump in December and the book that got me out, Lovelight farms, got a five star! My friends were like “??? It was cute but five stars?”

[@katiec8844]

I’M OBSESSED WITH THE HAIR DES!!!

[@rubiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Just finished reading normal people for the first time after years of putting it off. I didn’t like the book I thought it was really boring and got repetitive. Then I watched the show and it made me like the book/story, so everyone should watch the show after

[@omowaleayowale-olaitan7296]

You saying, 'I'm not eloquent enough to assume that you guys don't understand what I am saying' is exactly the same as Catherine in Northanger Abbey saying 'I cannot speak well enough to be unintelligible' and it's sending me

[@PowerOfBooks1902]

Tbh I didn’t like normal people to much but watching this video has convinced me to reread it And thanks for inspiring me to start my own booktube channel!

[@daniellek6646]

Yay!! Needed your sunshine today 🌞🫶🏻

[@gillianleigh]

I agree so much about the Emily Henry books. When I read book lovers I was so much more intrigued with her relationship with her sister more than with Charlie. But their banter was so good I was audibly laughing out loud

[@lillaeli1254]

omg please do a reading classic books for a weekkkk!x

[@ajhh13]

you’ve convinced me to finally read people we meet on vacation since it’s been sitting on my tbr for over 2 years

[@andelijaaa]

yayyy!!! ur channel is my comfort place. love u bestie des 🫶 I was just watching ur old videos so comparing ur taste to that time is so crazy 💙

[@emerygraf1323]

I LOVE PEOPLE WE MEET ON VACATION!!! it's the only Emily Henry book I've read and I'm so excited to read more!!

[@JoRadFitness]

I am obsessed with the way Charlie just goes to hold your hand when you need it ❤

[@lynnoooo]

i read normal people recently and i’m 17yo and i related to connell so much that i hated him

[@Jen_nyyy]

Normal people is for matured minds! Not every relationship out there is perfect, and that is the point of the book!

[@katiec8844]

Absolutely! You definitely don’t realize that until you have more life experience. I totally wouldn’t have jived with the book in high school or maybe even beginning of college.

[@taryndancer29]

I'm 32 and I really want to read it and see if I'll relate or not.

[@katiec8844]

@@taryndancer29 I hope you like it! I didn’t necessarily relate to the characters very much but I can appreciate their relationship dynamic at this point in my life (25). A few years ago I wouldn’t have liked this type of literary/contemporary fiction at all.

[@scarlethunter9361]

I feel like I’m the only one that loved people we meet on vacation and hated beach read.

[@marthepool9981]

Looovedd this video ❤ You 100% inspired me to now reread all of my emily henry books ☀️🫶

[@elisabethprice4697]

I reread books all the time but usually only once or twice the exception is Harry Potter which I’ve read over ten times and started another reread where I’m finally annotating them for the first time! Also what is the point of owning a book if you aren’t ever going to read it again? Isn’t the point of having a physical book is to read it? And if you read it and then love it wouldn’t you want to reread it someday? I guess my thoughts are what’s the point in owning a book you don’t like or are never going to read/reread? So you can have a big library or something cause if so that’s kinda dumb! Wouldn’t you rather have a 20 of books you love versus 200 you don’t! That’s just my thoughts on books!

[@LaineyReads]

this video makes me wanna go back and reread books that I didn’t like but me myself has changed a lot so thank youuu des and I love your videos your so relatable and make my day everytime I watch you💗

[@mckennziecannon7900]

I’m so happy you gave people we meet on vacation another try!! I love that book so much 😭😭

[@darciaelizabeth]

So glad you loved normal people! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the show!!!

[@leen34568]

this makes me want to reread every book i’ve ever read.

[@addisynadkins9265]

i’m so happy you liked normal people more the second time around, it’s one of my favorites and you NEED to watch the show. i think it’s one of the best adaptations ever and it made me love the book even more

[@maryannbuchan3692]

I love this video just like all your other. I love how you kept trying to not say “if that makes sense” it made we laugh out loud 😂

[@ciarab4608]

I may be biased as I am Irish but you need to watch the Normal People series. Dare I say I prefer it to the book!

[@KeaLynn]

I also prefer it!!! It works so well as a show

[@chocolateoreo6489]

I love the concept and idea surrounding this video❤

[@JessicaH829]

omg a few weeks ago i saw the midnight library on a shelf for $1 and looked on your good reads and saw you rated it a 5 star so i immediately bought it haha

[@bookswithgracie]

This is such a good concept I love it

[@Emsley-em2dm]

i’m so really!!! anyways destiny i love you and your personality. my fav youtuber

[@22daisymae]

Loved this video! I like that you are looking back and analyzing your thoughts before and after your reread. Keep being awesome!

[@Crybabygoose]

Ah! I love being early! Watching this while doing my morning treadmill workout!

[@readingwkatelyn]

love this concept!!

[@chocolateoreo6489]

Yay bestie Des is posting ❤❤ I’m sending you love 🫶

[@halesys37473]

I’m so glad you reread normal people- I relate to it so much! I think you will like the show! It’s a great book to show adaptation!!

[@itskenziew]

absolutely killing it with the book content, as always

[@JulEnglefaris]

Ive read all of Matt Haig's books multiple times. Just love him.

[@miiisssssyyyy]

I saw the midnight library on your goodreads currently reading and I just knew it had to be a video lmao

[@rosiedevall]

Books find us at the right time 🥰

[@rosiedevall]

“Conversations around … Normal People” tell me why I was waiting for you to say “with friends?” 🤣

[@kookies_lodge525]

YOU AS BABY IS SO CUTE

[@user-br3rs9pj1y]

Hello i love you so much ❤ can you make video with harry potter books

[@sylvierockstar]

New Destiny video!!! made my day. love you

[@myahasarah507]

Your videos are always so fun and creative ❤

[@leen34568]

Destiny, i’m sorry to say this, and i love you and your videos so much, but Charlie was the QUEEN of this video and i’m loving it.

[@carolzhang962]

i love your videos so much des!! i hope you have a good day

[@Lillyjoy]

This is so interesting omg 😂 our tastes really do change with time, I really enjoyed this video

[@oliwiarutkowska7915]

I suffer from anxiety and I had the same feeling towards Normal People, I loved it! It changed my brain chemistry and made me realize a lot of things, I often relate with you and your book tastes so I was kind of shocked that you didn’t liked this book so I’m sooo glad that you give it a second chance

[@agnorth]

I love this idea!!!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@kesardhillon204]

so excited for you to watch normal people please tell us your thoughts when you do!!!

[@hannahbrekke4610]

I agree about people we meet on vacation. I thought that the reason for not talking for two years was ridiculous for them being the age that they were

[@aimeeslibrary5003]

I have never clicked so fast, love you destiny ❤❤

[@totalxroyal]

Des you have encouraged me to reread my books with this video😁

[@obsessedwithspiderman]

I've been watching u read these on Goodreads and guessing what the video was going to be lmao!!

[@abbiek8915]

Such a cool video idea! Loved it as always des!! From the UK❤❤

[@emmiedeandean]

I'm so glad your opinion changed on the midnight library. That was a 2 star read for me.

[@_inmyhead]

Omg the pic when you were wittleeeeeeee 😭😭😭😍🥰 stop SO CUTE

[@frshdumbledore2825]

Love this video idea. By the way your videos are so calming❤

[@amandacee113]

Normal People was a book I read like two years ago. I had no idea how to feel about it when I finished. I didn’t know if I loved it or hated it. But it has stuck in brain as a book that I am always thinking about.

[@user-yu4nv9xg3j]

Charlie is the cutest 😊

[@JosiahBondy]

We need another video with the trio!

[@iheartcats4life_]

If you haven't already read it, you should read the Perks of Being a Wallflower. I think you would really like it and it's a classic/literary fiction

[@karihybben6907]

This is such a good video idea!!

[@selahdamerville4039]

love you des i loved the vid!

[@rosej5424]

Loved this video idea!

[@lindseyrinehart9021]

I just reread Stephen King’s The Stand. I read it like…25 years ago when I was 19. It totally held up. Maybe a 4.5 instead of a five, but I left my rating 5 because of the way the book stuck with me all that time.

[@elliegartenman]

hiiii destiny you are so beautiful and inspire me so much to read and just have fun overall ♾️♾️♾️ you are an amazing soul and i love ur videos so much

[@gmed2]

Because you love Emily Henry I really would love if you tried a Danielle Steele. Her books are always Women’s fiction but with a love story!

[@emmaskapetis7603]

I've read all of these books and I really enjoyed watching this video. Like you I read Normal people in 2021 but I read the other two books this month. I enjoyed all of them but I don't know what I would think of Normal people now.

[@LilSuga_Official]

Baby Destiny in the beginning is such a cutie patootie

[@soelmulone5232]

ahhh love it!!!

[@Brynnsbookishlife]

I was not a big fan of People we Meet on Vacation. It was tough because it was my first Emily Henry book.

[@Andaleeb529]

How in Normal People, Marianne was protesting for Gaza and how it’s 2024 and we’re still protesting for Gaza. Loved Normal People.

[@jennalynnbooks]

Love your videos so much! Have you ever done a reading vlog for The Boys of Tommen?? I know you love them but would love to see your reactions when you read!

[@hillarycab]

this is such a creative video! loved it 😊

[@snoopydoggyyy]

you're so real for not liking normal people as a teenager💀💀

[@squidwardtentacles7144]

Literally me! I read "Normal People" at the same age as her (17) and I didn't like it. It's been about two years since then, but I don't think I'd like it even now. Funny enough, I've read all the books (when I was 17) in this video and I feel the same way as she did before her reread. I didn't like "Normal People", felt indifferent to "People We Meet On Vacation", and loved "The Midnight Library".😂

[@cleg78]

Great t I see you back in another video x

[@JulEnglefaris]

I love how the book girlies arent afraid to maybe not like the books as much as another one did

[@mariemmorales5901]
