you and sara’s bookmas are absolutely givingggg this year

i need "they tell you to shoot for the moon and the stars but they don't tell you what to do when you come up short and the rocket starts loosing fuel right before you get there ok THEY DONT TELL YOU WHAT TO DO THEN when you're just falling through gravity and you're not making it up there" on a shirt

I had a goal of reading 50 books this year, but then 3 days into the new year I got a Kindle and I read already 21 books in January because of that. Then I did 100 books, but finished it in June. So then I just told myself to read 200 books in total. But then at some point i got 13 books behind last month, so I listened to audiobooks and short books to fill up the gap. Now I'm at 186 books (1 book ahead of schedule atm!) and I'm determined to finishing the year with 200+ books read.

i love how deep you went into explaining happy place and i agree with you 100% ! the friendship aspect was such an added bonus to the romance and i feel like no one is doing it like emily henry

literally the highlight of my December, thankyou so much for putting so much time and effort into Bookmas!!!

Mood reading definitely helped me enjoy reading and stay out of slumps. Forcing myself to read a book I’m not in to at the moment feels like a disservice to me and to the book. It doesn’t matter how much you read but just enjoying the process.

Why was her statement about shooting for the moon then falling short the most insightful thing I’ve heard for awhile ❤😅

Destiny is definitely one of my favorite booktubers (+ Sara and Haley)

the disappointment for iron flame is so real

for your reading out of comfort zone you should try to read a fantasy thats a high fantasy thats not romance centered like Sanderson or something... also love that you are going to try reading classics! I read classics all of the time and there are some amazing ones!

im freakin LOVVVINGGG ur bookmas 😭😭🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

loving bookmas ✨✨✨

136 books is still absolutely killing it! People struggle to get to 52 and you doubled that!

100% agree with you about daisy jones & the six!! the show was a masterpiece and the album was so good that they were my top artist of the year

i’m currently sick and destiny’s bookmas videos r bringing me so much happiness

Loved this video! I couldn’t agree more with Happy Place. That was a standout read and I related so much to it

THIS IS AMAZING!!! I’ll definitely do the book tag if i have time! You’re gorgeous girl, thank you so much for the quality content you put out🫶🏻

Destinys Bookmas videos>>

Des, i think you should do another one of these videos and answer more questions! I loved this video!

Woman fiction with romance, the way you described Emily Henry's writing is spot on!

you reading the happy place quotes made me literally tear up😭 i love how much you love happy place as much as i do

A nonfiction rec that i believe you'll enjoy because it reads like fiction is Evicted by Matthew Desmond. Def out of your comfort zone but it's such an important book that everyone should read at least once. thank you for your video!

Honestly you bring some of the besttt content to youtube, I LOVE your videos ❤️

Loving bookmas. We should start calling the blog as, desmas. ❤

The way she was getting so pissed off with the right side if her braid, god she’s funny I love her.

i can't even comprehend how much work it is to put out a video every day, thank you soooo much des!! they're the highlights of my day 💕

Love these book videos and I can’t wait for vlogmas!!

Hi Destiny!! I love your Chanel so so much! Thanks for all the amazing book recs over the year♥ I started Throne of Glass because of you and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT so so much! Love you!

one of my favorite classics (and my fav book) is Crime and Punishment which i highly recommended! It is quite heavy though, so some lighter classics I love are Heidi, Northanger Abbey (anything by Jane Austen tbh), Anne of Green Gables, etc. I also loved 1984!!

Not me waiting my whole day for this. Destiny's uploads dictate my day fr. (Bonus points for checking what time it is in Indiana, Europe goals)

Loving bookmas by you! & you're almost at 200k subscribers

please to another this book ends when i find a five star! i love your videos so much! thank you for doing bookmas!

I hope you hit the 200k before new years 🤞🏻

aww i love the Happy Place rant

I'm really glad you're doing Bookmas, I'm truly enjoying it🥰

If you plan to read classics please read the Anne of green gables series!!! It is harder bc it was written in the 1800s so it’s WAY different than we talk or what we read rn but it’s so cute!!

it’s finals season for me in university rn, and i’m really struggling. but i just wanna say that your videos are one of the things getting me through it & one of the things that always makes me happy no matter how bad i’m feeling. i appreciate you so much🫶🏼

I read one Emily henry and wasn't a fan... and thought I wouldn't read anymore books by her, but you really sold me on happy place, and I want to read it now.

That sweater is the cutest thing ever on you!

Serpent & The Wings of Night was so fun to read! I still need to read the 2nd one 💙

“Somebody sedate me” I’m dying 😂😂😂

I've tried reading 2 classics this year and I have some memoirs on my tbr. I didn't like any of the classics and actually ended up dnfing them. But I plan to keep giving them a chance, there must be one I like, that I haven't found yet

Abby Jimenez has a cupcake shop in my town! And I saw her books for sale in there on a cute little stand 🩵🩵

I loving bookmas so muchhhh and btw your hair looks so cute EVERY time

Destiny, I love your sit down videos! please make more :)

I feel like I’m way to early but ahhhhhh she posted!!!!

Happy Place is my absolute #1!! I also read ACOTAR series this year and that is also obvi #1 too

SO EXCITED FOR THIS OMG

The happy place appreciation in this video is 10/10. My favourite book of the year by far 🩷

Love that you are doing Bookmas. I look forward to each and everyone of them 😊

a reading goal i have is to get through some of my BOTM books! i have so many gathered on my shelf i need to get through.

this might be one of my favourite videos that you have ever done

POV: you’re rewatching Des’ and Sara’s bookmas videos bc you miss them posting daily :((

THE SERPENT AND THE WINGS OF NIGHT CHANGED. MY. LIFE

I feel like I’m the only one that does not like emily henry books lol I felt like Harriet’s character was completely ridiculous 😅 I just can’t handle miscommunication

It makes me so happy to have videos by Des to watch ❤

I loved this video!! I especially loved hearing the book quotes because that is one of my fav things to talk about! A book quote video would be super cool. I look forwawrd to bookmas everday

not me crying from the happy place quotes

Some of my favorite genres that I think you should try reading are historical fiction and poetry! Thank you for bookmas ☺️

I am so excited that you are wanting to read some classics. I feel like I am the opposite of you in the my favorite genre is classics and I want to step out of my comfort zone and read some YA in 2024.

another day another slay

Glad I am not the only one struggling to meet my Goodreads reading goal this year!

Loveeee the braids!!! 💞💞

Bookmas is helping me live through college final exam season. Thank you ❤

I just read My Roommate is a Vampire and I loved it! Its such a fun quick read, perfect semi-cringe rom-com with a bit of spice. the ending was quite rushed but i actually liked that

Chitchat sitting down vids are my personal favs ,also I just found you a little less than a month and I love ur channel des ❤❤

Living for this bookmas content 🙏🙏

love this!! thank you for all the work you do with editing and filming and everything that goes into it! They are AMAZING videos! 💗 and will continue to watch and love them 😄

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is a really good book about how he set goals and was really disciplined. If you haven't read Little Women that would be a fun classic to put on your list in 2024. I enjoyed Happy Place as well and agree that Emily Henry is not really a strictly romance author.

havent read iron flame yet but im excited to check it

love ur videos! thank u for being a bright spot of my day🤍

I’m literally in school and was so happy to see you posted another video😂❤

i am loving bookmas !!!!! keep up the hard work you are killing it ❤️

so excited for ur vlogs

YES GIRL!!! read The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls (a memoir)!! you will not be disappointed I promise!!!

The applesauce intro🤣👌🏽 But same

I also loved out on a limb, it's so underrated

I'd really recommend Jane Austen for getting into classics!! I've read my fair share of classics because literature degree and it often feels like a chore to read (especially the ones written by men, to be really blunt) but I genuinely love Austen, specifically Emma, Northanger Abbey, and Pride and Prejudice. Like I literally laugh out loud and giggle like damn fool at the romance more than some contemporary books.

🎄

The secret history being the most frustrating is so true

In high school I randomly picked up a memoir and I STILL think about it now that I've finished college. It was "a stolen life" the story of a woman who was kidnapped and held in captivity for like 10+ years. Obviously look up TW for it if you're going to read it but i recommend that one if youre looking to read more memoirs

I love bookmassss❤❤❤

we love you des!! ❤

Okay fine I’ll reread Happy Place 😭😭😭😭😭

You are making me want to re read and annotate happy place !!

bestie I love ur videos sm

Vlogmas is giving me life right now. 🖤
