DESTINY LOOKS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS LIKE ALWAYS 🫶🏻

[@leahmbutler]

100%!

[@natalieharden4003]

I KNOW LIKE HOW??!!😍😍

[@sydneymatsumoto6196]

Please a tutorial on the hair!

[@L-tb9kk]

unpopular opinion but i think bookslumps are actually good for you (or at least for me). Its normal to feel like not doing something from time to time even if its something you enjoy, and after taking a break of not reading, coming back to books and reading feels so much more enjoyable

[@simonevolman4952]

i think this is such a great perspective. reading is a hobby not a chore and hobbies should be enjoyable. if you’re not in the mood to read, then there’s no reason to force yourself to.

[@cristalespinoza2394]

Destiny and Sara are killing it for the start of the new year with back to back videos!!!! 🔥😁

[@schobesreadss]

Big on the reread advice! Almost every time I'm in a slump I reread the Percy Jackson books and it helps every time

[@gregorydozieryt]

not putting the pressure on HAVING to read and just taking your time to make sure you're enjoying on your own terms is the best best best thing for book slumps. its supposed to be fun!!

[@vannahsavable]

tip #2 is so true!! I read Throne of Glass in high school as the books came out, but once Kingdom of Ash came out, I didn’t feel like I was in the place to read it and enjoy it. Fast forward to this year and I was in a two month reading slump. I picked the series back up as a reread and ended up finishing the series finally after like 8 years lol. It got me out of my slump so highly recommend a reread

[@courtneynicoleheathcock]

Destiny’s hair game lately has been NEXT LEVEL 😍

[@linx7890]

I love your advice! I recently started reading after finding your video as I never read because I found it boring. I hated it due to it being forced upon me as young child. So I hated it. But now I have found a genre I like and I have time for reading when commuting and before bed. It’s been the best thing ever. I want to read more books as time goes on! So thank you Destiny 😊

[@Sof_rha]

Omg I’m in a three month long reading slump rn, thank you sm❤

[@illgiveyouthebooks]

One of the things I always do is read another genre! If I've read a lot of romance I try to read fantasy or mystery. If I've read a lot of heavy books I will pick up a light and fluffy read

[@Hannahmarie_.12]

the do-over by lynn painter is also really really good, and it's not quite as long. it's about a girl who has a bad valentine's day and gets stuck on a time loop. it's so fun to see her trying to get out of it while also just living her life. it's not repetitive at all, and it's just super cute.

[@MariamRizvi]

I'm currently in a reading slump and reading the summer i turned pretty series for the first time and can def agree, it is so good to get out of a slump!

[@lilacbooks]

Girl! Great job on all the posting! I’m loving it!

[@christellemurugan]

I'm reading Crescent City #1 ands it's dragging, but I know how high regards you have for that series so I'll persevere❤

[@emilybecton7985]

I just finished it last night and the last 250 pages made it COMPLETELY worth it!! So good

[@Kayleebaldwin1319]

Literally same!

[@katiec8844]

When it picks up, it picks up! The ending made me cry, the way it deals with friendship is so beautiful. I hope you end up liking it. I really enjoyed the audiobook and used it on and off. It def helped since it’s so long!

[@TheLegendOfRune]

I literally just finished that book last night! And that ending had me crying so much, but it was just so good.

[@taranell3138]

Every time I’m in a book slump I read Harry Potter and it gets me out of it literally every time

[@straverry_tae]

im in a reading slump rn so this vid is perfect timing😭🙏

[@tiannadaly7440]

Also also easy thrillers like Riley sager, the silent patient, no exit etc. I find the accomplishment of finishing a good book in good time makes me wanna read more. And a page turning thriller does that like no other!!

[@sagekay]

UHHH your hair in this video is incredible?!!!!? Love the tips! 🖤✨ i totally agree with the giving yourself grace because sometimes reading just needs to wait until you want to do it again

[@laurasliteratur]

These videos always come at the perfect moment. Thanks Des 🤭💕

[@alexisnicole967]

These are the best tips! I can say from experience that picking up a reread helps so much to get out of a slump :)

[@MukbangMondays]

Ok the fact that I was literally searching this exact title up yesterday and watched your older video and then this pops up?? Literally can’t wait to watch

[@Idkwhattocallmyselfonhere]

You do your ADs so perfectly!!!!! Loved it

[@andrealopezgomez1258]

your videos are so comforting, i love you

[@emmaskapetis7603]

Great video🥰. You've got so many good tips. I'm still kind of in a book slump from last year and rereads and audiobooks are helping me.

[@CallieEndara01]

PERFECT TIMING!!!!! Needed this sm🥲

[@user-yu4nv9xg3j]

Even though I have not encountered a reading slump yet, I still loved this video!! ❤

[@booksandteas]

i dont know why but 2024 destiny is glowing more than ever and i love it. anyway, how did you know i'm in a mini slump? you're a queen des!

[@maybeally]

Your hair looks so good in this video 💗

[@straverry_tae]

literally in love with destiny’s hair!!!

[@Em-wb2nv]

I 100% agree with you on Audiobooks. These are what got into reading in the 1st place.

[@samanthaworkman1]

Thank sm for this Des. I haven’t finished a book since November and I was having such a good time before then 😢

[@Lexi-nl1xt]

This video was so helpful! I will be watching it during my next book slump!

[@elisazouza]

[@zheneecharisma]

[@bugfaced]

[@Jordan_throws1]

claiming this as my birthday gift 🤞 and des u look stunning a per usual

[@whatsdesreading]

Happy birthday!!🎂

[@misskathi6454]

I started reading the ACOTAR series and went through the first 4 books just like that - before ACOSF I noticed that I was excited about the next book but also craving a litter read - two Lynn Painter books later I started and could really get into the story again. I think it’s important to listen to yourself and not just read something.

[@beautifulmama862]

I so needed this today ❤ today is my birthday and I love reading on this day and this slump is just awful so I've been watching KZbin and doing a friends puzzle ❤ thank you for sharing

[@aamnapasha2072]

[@kayleesmith0426]

Okay but the HAIR😍 the hair is HAIRING and it’s stunning!🤩

[@Karlie2cool]

HI DES! I love you and your vid’s so so much!

[@caitlinjolly3332]

I was in a slump last summer and I DNF’d red rising and the other day I was in the mood to give it another try and now I’m obsessed

[@courtneya607]

Tip # 3 is funny too me because 2022 I picked up crescent city to get me out of a 2 year slump. It took me like 2 months to finish the book, but hey it made me fall back in love with reading 😂

[@heathertowe6280]

I'm currently reading Betting On You by Lynn Painter and is so good. It would totally get me out of a reading slump.

[@kamilafilshtinskiy2526]

IMMEDIATELY downloaded everyone of these books onto my kindle. Thank you Des ❤️

[@nataliafox8652]

This could not come at a more perfect time!!!!!!👏👏👏

[@Showtunediva]

[@The_Diamond_Rosie_offical]

I’ve been in a lot of book slumps, and the worst part is, it’s my first year with kindle unlimited, and I feel like I’m not using KU to its full potential and it sucks, but hopefully this video helps me out of a slump 💜

[@ashleygunn1036]

This was much needed so tyyy :))

[@lizzooooo]

I NEEDED THIS VIDEO SO SO BAD THANK U GOD

[@charliescozycorner]

[@ashleygunn1036]

I love the Sys so much.

[@literaryvaleria]

yay bestie des posted!

[@Sophie_likes_reading]

i read the first three books in the addicted series when i was in a bookslump last year and i read them so fast so they helped

[@morganabney8301]

it's a great day when destiny uploads

[@TheCelineVictoria]

I would also combine two tips and recommend listening to YA romance books as audiobooks. Short and sweet + if you miss something because you're doing something else it's probably not too important

[@SongLyricsX]

Destiny you inspire me!!!

[@valeriereed2251]

Rereading got me out of my book slump!! That is a great tip!

OMG DESTINY YOUR HAIR 😍😍😍😍

[@stephaniehernandez9479]

For me, seeing my physical tbr just makes me feel overwhelmed and filled with regret but also an obligation to read even if I'm not in the mood for it

[@likechip]

Rereading Percy Jackson got me back into reading for sure!

[@roseyu4812]

Hey Des, I’m a silent watcher but I love your videos and your personality. You made me love books again ❤. What’s your book blog website? If you have one
