The Caraval series is my favorite series ever. I love all three books and gave all of them five stars. I actually plan to reread the series in 2023.

[@Kimberly5453]

It took me THREE times to read Normal People. I actually re purchased it twice because everyone kept talking about how great it is. The third time, something clicked and I ended up loving it and loving all her other books. I hope you enjoy it!

[@Puty0urlipstick0n]

Haha, same for me, literally bought it, tried and hated it, sold it and bought it again several months later... I gave it 2 stars. But you should try "Conversations with friends" it's so much better!

[@kyraallerton4612]

Your face and how quickly you turned around when Alexa started talking is my exact reaction when I’m home alone singing my guts out and I hear someone coming home

[@savannah.masters]

I’m so excited for this video!! I haven’t been having a great day but this is making it 10x better!! Also that color of your scuba jacket looks amazing on you. Love you destiny 🤍🤍

[@khalilahd.]

She always has the best recommendations ❤

[@maleah44]

I'm so excited that you are giving the Folk of the Air trilogy another shot!! They are some of my favorite books of all time

[@heater2227]

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was my favorite read of 2022 and became my all-time favorite book. I hope you love it!!

[@heatherlynn828]

A Man Called Ove was probably my favorite book of 2022! I’m so excited you’re planning to read it in 2023! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, all your feelings will be felt with this one.

[@emry1116]

Omg I read House of Sky and Breath last month… and the ending literally shook me. I did not expect it at all. Also, I love the Caraval series. But in my opinion the second book is the best.

[@itsnoterica]

I hope you love A Man Called Ove! It’s literally my favorite book of 2022 I read it in February & I still think about it regularly. There’s an original Swedish movie that came out that’s really good but they also came out w an American version that came out on Christmas w Tom Hanks. The only reason why they changed his name to Otto in the American one is bc it’s set in American & Otto is more American sounding than Ove

[@jessmartineau6603]

I also didn't enjoy the cruel prince but half way through I decided maybe listening to it would be helpful and it was a game changer! I just finished the wicked king and did the same thing of listening and reading and enjoyed it SOOO much more. I'm about to start the queen of nothing since the 2nd one ended on such a cliff hanger!

[@hayleyarksey7417]

awsome video! my little girl and I sat and watched this and a little while later I caught my daughter sitting with her books and talking about them 😅🙈🤣 she's only 2 but she loves books and she loves watching your videos 😊 so, we both want to say thank you to you 🙏🏻 ❤️✌🏻☺️

[@Olivettaa]

Fredrik Backmans books are REALLY good and I think you would like the beartown series even more!! Its about a hockeytown and even though I dont care about sports it got me HOOKED😍 probably best book I ever read

[@heatherstanek8296]

Aristotle and Dante literally owns my heart forever

[@Cindy-pt7yu]

i loved a man called ove! and honestly, all of fredrik backman's books. hope it ends up a five star for you or if anything, good tearful moments!

[@lucyswinson2512]

circe is one of my favorite books of all time, SO GOOD, and such good quotes

[@Mmc_1203]

Caraval was one of my first books of 2022 and I’ve loved it, the series, and the spin-off series (Once Upon a Broken Heart). I will read ANYTHING Stephanie Garber writes. I’ve read 71 books this year, but if I could read any of them for the first time again, it would be Caraval. (Stephanie Garber also announced the paperback version of Once Upon a Broken Heart with the pink cover btw)💕💕💕

[@annabee338]

des i will cry if you read the infernal devices you will absolutely love them its such a good romance with fantasy as well some of my favourite books ever

[@shivaniii08]

Love your videos queen!! They literally so inspiring and motivate me to read🥺, thank you Des for making them!!!!🥰🥰❤️🫶

[@petra_28]

YESS 28 MINS SOO EXCITED TO WATCH THIS I CAN’T NOW BUT I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH IT TODAY LOVE YOU DESTINY

[@Adriana-bq4mf]

[@sso1865]

Looking forward to you reading so many books for 2023!!❤ I loved the Caraval series! Hope you enjoy them!

[@maciharford8100]

I loved the Caraval series!! Once upon a broken heart is on my 2023 TBR too, so so so excited 😍

[@leahtison7082]

Caraval was one of my faaavorite series in high school and still it

[@jessicamedrano9673]

Circe🥰 a book I read in 2022 & has such beautiful writing! Hope you enjoy 💖

[@sophieboulton13]

ugh this video was so good!! you are so stunning and now i have a bucketload of books to add to my tbr! love u bestie🫶🫶

[@khalilahd.]

I’m already excited for you 2023 reads! You’ve given me so many good recommendations and I really want to step up my reading in the new year so I’m definitely getting some of these ❤

[@cheesetoastie3512]

aah also ari and dante is honestly rlly rlly good, im so glad youre picking it up

[@victorialikestoread]

so excited for your anticipated fantasy books. From Blood and Ash and HoSaB are on my TBR too. CRYING bc I bought the ToG series to reread this year and then saw beautiful new covers will be coming out 😭 pain. loved TID and the shadow hunter world 🥹

[@mekaelacooper_]

I literally had to stop the video once you got to the cruel prince. I literally was never a fantasy reader but this book had caught my eye. The second I opened the book, I kid you not, could not put it down. I finished the cruel prince in one day and ordered the next two books and finished them in two days. I swear by this trilogy! I’m literally re-reading the series now and I never ever re-read books! hope you enjoy!

[@luckeygirl023]

Same!

[@davancerda]

Ooo yes the adaptation of A man called Ove has Tom Hanks in it!

[@JULIA12869]

I am so excited for the Throne of Glass new covers, i have read the first three and i want to buy physical copies SOO bad, but I adore the new covers

[@annascorner84]

All 3 Sally Thorne books are good and those new throne of glass covers are so cute! I actually like those better !

[@ochoasamantha]

Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe is THE BEST!!!!!! I love that book. So beautiful, I read it in 2017 when I was in highschool and made like 10 people read that book LOL

[@marwafarrukh1744]

I think you'll really really enjoy caraval!!! i put it off for a while and once i picked it up i was COMPLETELY obsessed with it so i think you should give it a shot!! i still think abt it all the time because those characters, the writing and the whole magical-ness of caraval is SO ENTICING to read about

[@basmasherif5689]

The caraval trilogy is absolutely incredible 100% one of my favorite series. the world is beautiful it's just magical and whimsical plus it's very fast paced and easy to read. The plot twists took me by surprise I really recommend reading it I doubt you'd regret it

[@michelleandbass406]

I read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and LOVED it. It instantly became my favourite book ever. The book deals with some heavier themes at times so be sure to read it when you’re up for something really impactful! It is a wonderful story with great representation, characters that feel like real people and messages that will truly stick with you. I think about that book every single day since I finished it.💜🌊🎮

[@stacykhernandez]

Haunting Adeline is one of my fav reads of 2022. I’m reading the spin off (0.5 Satan’s Affair) before I read Hunting Adeline. But I’m so excited to see if you make a vlog for that.

[@amyymcl]

Caraval is so fun!! I'm reading the last one right now and it is soo good I'm excited for you

[@pezgurl09]

You have gotten me to read so many books!!! Thank u!!!! ❤

[@rachelsreadingrainbow]

I'm so excited for you to read Circe!!! I think you have to be in the right mindset to fully appreciate it, like you got to be ready for a lyrical deep book. If you want to live your light academia vibe life, Circe is what you wanna pick up.

[@alliegosche]

i am so excited for you to read the crave series!!!

[@destinylamont]

I was the same way. Until i read the Crave series and i was reading it like was water. A month ago i just finished the 5th book in the series. You will not be disappointed.

[@emilyandrea48]

Ahhh Aristoteles and Dante us such a beautiful book, the writing is amazing and I loved the characters 😍😍😍🥲🥲

[@emmanoack13]

omg yes! i just read The Do Over by Lynn Painter and i LOVED it! I hope you love it as much as I did!

[@taranell3138]

A man called “ooooo-vah” it’s a good one 👍🏽 and there is a film that you can watch after 😛🎥

[@ketasar2278]

I read Circe in the summer and I ate it up. It is beautifully written. I didn't know much about Greek mythology and the book explained a lot.

[@ambercastleberry9879]

Yay! So excited for you to read the Crave series and House of Breath and Sky!!! I also definitely recommend Part of Your World by Abby Jimenez and The Grace Year by Kim Liggett! Love your videos❤

[@naaat3278]

I read once upon a broken heart first and caraval after and honestly I enjoyed it way more that way haha

[@ginny9394]

the crave series was my favorite book series besides ACOTAR, it was very goood! was it a five stars for me? no it was 4.5 stars! i loved the character development in each book, and i think you’ll love it! ily ❤️❤️

[@carolinerichards_]

Normal People was my favorite book that I read this year! It’s definitely not for everyone, but I’m excited for you to give it another shot!

[@ellanna1579]

Caraval is SO GOOD Destiny!!! I would love to hear your thoughts on the series! Something that could help you get into it is listening to the audiobook, bc Stephanie Garber’s writing is very flowery and kinda lyrical so I’ve heard it’s nice to listen to. Hope you’ll pick them up soon! I’m actually starting Once Upon a Broken Heart today! ✨💛

[@SarahBailey28]

I am obsessed with the Caraval series, the writing and the storyline is amazing. Stephanie Garber is a genius.

[@m_jurado12]

I really really love the Caraval series, it is one of my favourite fake worls, the magic, the dragna sisters; love them. I cannot wait to read the once upon a broken heart series too. Love that fantasy world. Stephanie is such a genius.

[@sharonhill6184]

A Man Called Ove is such a good book. And yes it’s coming out in a movie called A Man Called Otto. Yes I agree why did they have to change the name. Hope you enjoy it when you read it. Happy New Year 🎉

[@karentochsreadingcorner]

To love Jazon Thorne was sooo good!! I read at the beginning of the year and Omg 🥹

[@sulagordon]

the infernal devices is the best trilogy i’ve ever read!!!

[@LydiaBaker94]

Finally going to comment on one of your videos. You’re doing a great job with these videos keep up the great work love you

[@SarahNoelle17]

I LOVE the crave series so so much!!!!! Some people don’t like it bc some stuff the characters say can be cringe, but just accept it and it’s fine haha. Legit my guilty pleasure, and I love all the characters, romance, plot, etc. I can’t wait for the last book to come out this year!! Oh and it has short chapters which is nice

[@mikaylabecker]

SAY YOU SWEAR! The back summary gives nothing away and you will read the book and it’s so much better.

[@iheartcats4life_]

I love Aristotle and Dante! I have been wanting to reread it lately because I just love the characters so much

[@cozydalia]

you definitely need to read caraval!! i will say however that i did read once upon a broken heart AND the ballad of never after before the caraval trilogy myself, only because i didn't realize it was a spin off series! it does spoil a huge bit of caraval in OUABH if you don't read it first, but otherwise you can read it without caraval. I loved the writing in all the books, the magic and story building is just so fun and whimsical!

[@dakotasbooks]

The Caraval series is sooo good! I very much recommend reading it before Once Upon A Broken Heart. 📖

[@chandlerpaigeyt]

Hey Des! So actually a new 4th Magnolia Parks book is actually out and there are going to be more :)

[@JillayneCallewaert]

I just finished Haunting Adeline and girl, i learned some things about myself reading that book 😅😂🥵 I loved it but also understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea lol

[@Redbone_Readerchick97]

Yay your back. I hope you'll posting more in the New Year

[@l1na20]

We love you happy New year💕💕

[@bookswithcass]

i recommend reading 'satan's affair' before the haunting adeline duology! 💕

[@libbysreadingcorner9564]

Some of these I've read, and some of these I haven't read but want too. I will be adding some of these to my TBR... Thanks

[@karsoncasey7630]

i read normal people this summer and i didn’t like it at all. but i think that as i have read more and gone through what i went through this year i will relate to it more. long story short also rereading it next year! love you destiny! you’re videos are an immediate watch! ❤❤

[@BookGoesMyHeart]

“Circe” is brilliant (way better than The Song of Achilles, tbh) ❤ Can’t wait for you to read it!

[@hannahstahmann5498]

Omg Aristotle and Dante was my favorite book for so long! I was obsessed. And same thing with the song of Achilles. You need to reread it it’s my favorite. Circe is amazing too.

[@justgrace2266]

I’m reading caraval right now and it is literally amazing like 100% going to be a 5 star. The romance in my opinion is good but very slow but everything else is amazing you should definitely read it.

[@artdonewithgrace]

i read normal people for the first time this year and i didn’t exactly know what i was getting myself into, now having read it i feel like a reread is definitely needed because even though i didn’t really enjoy it the first time i could understand why some may like it once i finished. i rly need to reread it next year with a better mindset going in. i hope that makes sense but sometimes your mindset going into a book can make or break your experience

[@Lilyspages]

I just read better then the movies. And I loved it !!! It was my first more adult ish romance book . I guess idk ! But I just wanted to say that your such a inspiration to me ! I literally want to do wht u do when I’m older and be a booktuber and have so many books and stuff ! Better then the movies was my first like book I can’t stop thinking about, and this reminds me of u and how u always say that ! I love you so much !! Thank you for doing KZbin and just being here !! ❤❤❤❤ also can you do a ya rec video with books u love ! Also Mabye ya kindle rec because I just got a kindle for Christmas!!! I love it ❤

[@petra_28]

I love this girl so much

[@agniceberg]

'Tomorrow and Tomorrow And Tomorrow' gonna be a book I'm gonna read on February for my new book club. Excited about that because I've heard only good things about it. But my ultimate goal for 2023 book wise is to read all Emily Henry and Taylor Jenkins Reid's books.

[@houstinkirkpatrick7240]

I absolutely love the magnolia parks books. The first book I gave three stars, but the rest so far are so good! I think there will be like 8 books in the series

[@geenarees1492]

There are a few books in your 2023 list that are also in mine 🙊 infernal devices is on my list and the crescent city books, im still reading Acotar ❤️

[@DoriesPaperbackReads]

I’m gonna read Once Upon a Broken Heart without reading Caraval. I really don’t think I’m gonna go back to read that trilogy. And I did order the UK paperback and can’t wait to get it! So beautiful.

[@ilovepickles436]

Crave is the best series! I love it so much I'm on the third book rn

[@claraahamilton]

I’d recommend reading the mortal instruments before the infernal devices just to get more background on the world/characters. It makes the reading experience 10x better. I much prefer the infernal devices but I’m so glad I read it in this order :)

[@Ella-zy6vh]

You’re going to love Caraval!!! It’s SOO good!!!!

[@chelsearetz7779]

I literally love reading but ever since I started watching your videos I somehow can’t read enough! I have a 42 book tbr now

[@VicandWes]

The Infernal Devices is my favorite series within the Shadowhunters Chronicles

[@haleighf4927]

This makes me so excited that you are starting to love fantasy because I also am too, you should add Lightlark to your list.

[@lindsaydemaria8532]

Caraval is my comfort series!

[@luba3uy893]

Say you swear is one of my favorites!!!

Happy New Year!!!

[@sophialondeck5477]

A Man Called Ove is so good!!

[@parisstardust111]

A man called ove was my favorite read of the year, I think you’ll really like it

[@priscilladias8544]

Mauler and Questus by english writer Shawn Williamson. Mauler is indicated by english writer, historian, cinema director Andrew Sinclair. He compares It with White Fang by Jack London.

[@ameliasaletnik385]
