She should definitely do a “finishing books I’m in the middle of” video
It's her video you can just address her 😂
Agreed!! This would be fun. Destiny please do itttt
i need to do this lmao i stop in the middle of books all the time
Yesss
Lmao this was clearly just a aesthetic video
i feel like des has more books on her tbr than i have in general😅
No she literally does. I wish I had the money 🥲
I know she has more than me bc I recently counted all my books lmao
No literally bc just 2 stacks of her physical TBR is how many books I own in total 😭
Brooo sameeee
Meee 😂
Oh Des, you seemed so down at the end of your video. Don't let the number of books on your TBR ever smother your love of reading or your passion for sharing your journey with all of us. We all love you and support you so, so much!!!
My physical tbr used to be over 200 and it is now THREE!!! Just 3 little books left to go. You can definitely put a dent in it, don’t panic!! 😁💕💕💕
Oh my god that’s amazing! Mines at around 24-35 I think but I have picked up my pace and found a bunch of books I enjoy so it’s going well (it used to be 50+😭)
i had 53 books unread on my shelves two months ago and now i’m reading my 32nd, tbh it’s SOOO difficult but rewarding?? like, i feel great after finishing a book that’s been collecting dust for years 🤺🤺
des babe dont put so much pressure on yourself to finish all of these books in 1 year, this is your job and all those books are your work supplies. you eventually will make content regarding a good chunk of them if not this year, next year or the following. don't get rid of books you may just rebuy eventually because you feel overwhelmed
instead of going cold turkey book buying ban, i have found it helpful to make it like a game of bingo. i made a little bingo grid and when i finish reading a book i generate a random number for the table. when i fill i row i get a book buying credit. this makes chipping away at my tbr more fun because i'm working towards a reward!
OOOOH I love this idea haha!
this is such a cute idea!
I love this idea!
That’s such a great idea! I’m gonna give that a try ! 🎉
this is such a cute idea omg
hey des, maybe you could do a video like „reading books from 5 different genres in 5 days“ or you could do a video where you try to finish all of the books series/ series of interconnected standalones that you own. i bet that would put a dent in your physical tbr
Can you PLEASE do a video reading the entire Cassandra Clare series it would be so gooodddd
i was literally about to write this!!
i actually love this bc i always feel so bad abt how many unread books i have and to see ur in the same boat at me makes me so comfortable knowing like i’m not the only one
An idea for donating books is taking them to thrift stores, battered women's shelters that need supplies, and libraries will sometimes take new ones. Lovely video as always!
JustAli made a video of putting unhauled books in the little free libraries around town!
@@kacie_shipmani saw that! The problem is some books I don’t like, I’ve annotated; so I’m gonna try to gift them to a friend or something, there’s some books I’ve been collecting to donate and I hope I find someone who loves them😊
Girl you read faster than anyone on booktube. If anyone can tackle this TBR it’s you xx
I think it’s safe to say that the video we should see from destiny next is a reading vlog of her finishing all the books she started but never finished.
Ok but I would literally die from happiness if you did a reading vlog this autumn reading the Harry Potter series 🥹 You could tick off 7 books at once from your TBR and it‘s the perfect cosy fantasy plsssss
she liked it and has hinted at it previous videos i am so sure it is happening. I am so excited.
Emily Fox just did a couple videos of "read it or unhaul it" and that might be a way to cut down the number a bit. You could gather up some that you've had for a while and read part of them to see if you're into it and unhaul it if you're not. Since most of yours seem to be mint/barely used, you could probably resell them to get some of the money back too :)
Before I got into booktube, I felt so guilty for the amount of tbr books I had and now I feel much better 🤣🤣🤣
Girl! You made me feel so much better as I did an approximate count which led me to realize I have around 250 books on my TBR 😰 I do the same thing and shop whenever I feel sad, depressed, mad, and happy! There could be worse things we spend our money on!
For every new book I putchase, I habe to read 3 books on my TBR. It's really helped me read my TBR and cut back on impulse or mood buys.
My heart broke when you finished the video so down, Des is alright, you love reading and look it like this, you now have many books to choose from depending on your mood or the season. Don't let the number discourage you, really
try not to be too hard on yourself bestie, this is your literal job so it makes sense you keep up with trends + new releases when it comes to books!
SHARP OBJECTS is my all time favourite it’s deals with so much and goes quite deep and dark, fantastic thriller
Librarian here: if you do an unhaul you should donate the books to your local library! I'm sure they would appreciate it, especially because your books are new and in great condition.
My local library doesn’t take book donations. Unless, it is a special charity, like the prison library donation.
The creativity that Des gives to introduce the sponsorship of the video is amazing. Keep it up Des your doing great.
DES YOU MAKE ME SMILE EVERYTIME. THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU.
As someone once said buying books and reading books are two different hobbies. I've got hundreds of books in my room that I haven't read but I enjoy having them and I like to think of them as potential adventures and knowledge. I don't even know if I'll ever read them all, but I enjoy being surrounded by books. My recommendation is start with the shortest book and work your way up. It's a good way to feel that you're making a dent in your TBR.
Ive come to the conclusion that, for me, being a reader also means being a collector. I love books, i love collecting books. In 12 years, ive done 1 unhaul, i want the rest. I enjoy my physical library room in which im actually reorganizing right now. I have ALOT of books, but it brings a peace and eventually I'll get to them, never know what i feel like reading. Im never ever on a book ban. All this to say, you do what makes you happy with books, dont be pressured by the outside world. If books make you happy, buy the books. Life is short, too short and we get one life, be happy, be kind and if a tbr pile happens to fall on you, stack that sucker back up and buy another book to even it out!! Happy Reading and have a wonderful day
Maybe you could do a few reading ____ books for a week video to cross off some of that tbr (sad books, thrillers, historical fiction, etc). Also love the “finish books you are in the middle of” idea!
des, maybe the next video in a series could be a organized tbr bookshelf by genre, series or just 🫶vibes🫶! love ya
Yes please organise them all on the shelf that's still empty!!!
An unhaul sounds really good. What I do sometimes when I unhaul is bring books to different outside mini library's where people can get a book. That was really fun to do! :D
we're all in the same boat, don't let the tbr discourage you from having fun so long as you're reading you're winning!!!! u got this
Specify a bookshelf or two as your tbr, that what I did. Makes it super easy to just go and pull out my next read. Once I read one I move it to my read shelves.
everytime des uploads, it never fails to make sooo happy and excited ! 🩷
I just know this will make my whole night and day and good luck with that TBR 😌
U ALWAYS MANAGE TO MAKE ME HAPPY. THANK YOU DES. DONT STOP POSTINGGG
this video and the past few videos are inspiring me to go on a desperately needed book buying ban with you!! we can stick by each other the whole way as we make it through our physical tbr’s! remember don’t give up!! you got this!!
you’re the reason my physical tbr is so long 😭😭🤞🏽
I was just about to go watch some of your old videos when the notification went off! You're so awesome Des!!!
Shipped and Pride and Prejudice are both so good in different ways. Shipped is such a fast, easy cute read, I really enjoyed it
I am so happy you posted!! Love this, thank you
Des use the 305 books as inspiration for video ideas. You can read a series, read by genre, one video can focus on the longest book you own. A vlog on male authors, etc.
AHH I've been waiting all week for you to post
You should do a video where you just read books with your favorite really pretty covers.
Your spidey shirt is the cutest ever I'm obsessed Des !!🥺🫶🏻
Omg ILSYM Des you literally make me smile when u post
I feel like reading Frankenstein and Dracula would be great for an October vlog just cause spooky vibes
Hey Steph! I know you’re not buying anymore books, but the Haunting Adeline series actually has a prequel novella called Satan’s Affair! For me, it really helped me understand the first book better. Especially during one specific scene in the middle.
Also, the Blood and Ash series and the flesh and fire series are intertwined. This is the order: Blood and Ash, Flesh and Fire, Crown of Gilded Bones, Shadow in the Ember, War of Two Queens, a Light in the Flame, a Fire in the Flesh, and the new book that was recently released, a Soul of Blood and Ash. The Flesh and fire series is a spin-off of a certain character we meet in a Crown of Gilded Bones!
I have a loooooot of unread books aswell, you’re not alone girl. you seemed to be a bit down about it in the end of the video but please remember that we all love and support you no matter what, don’t be hard on yourself❤
This makes me feel better about having 60 books on my physical tbr! I started a segment to try to keep myself on track reading instead of buying books, but I fell off the wagon and ended up buying 40 more and only reading 26 so far.
u don’t understand how much better my day gets when i see u posted💗💗💗💗
I love all Sophie Lark books so would highly recommend the Brutal Birthright Series and the Kingmaker series!!!
what i do at the end of the year is go through all of my books and the ones i don’t want to keep, i “unhaul” and then reward myself by turning them into like a half price books where i can get money for the books that i unhaul. just what i do but ik it works for other people too
I think you should do
1. A week of only reading thrillers
2. A week of reading fantasy
3.continuing the books you left in between
And so on.....
Try these I think this will help you reduce the books on your tbr
City of Girls, Before the Coffee Gets Cold, and My Year of Rest and Relaxation are all fabulous - definitely recommend! 💕
I find that giving myself a ratio helps a lot in getting through my tbr... For example, reading 3 books on my tbr for 1 new book I buy/borrow from the library. I also try to get through new books as soon as possible before the excitement for it wears off. Also, being honest about which books I lost interest in and just won't read (then getting rid of those).
Wow! Love your collection of books. It’s a mini library in your room ❤
Added like 50 of these to my tbr cause the covers alone 😍
You know what you should do !!!! Do the closet un haul like books and Layla did. As a separate series. Like do a response to your 2021 hauls and read the ones you haven’t read yet.
I love your physical TBR videos! Please do a spoiler reading vlog for Haunting and Hunting Adeline, I want to see your thoughts on it.
you should definitely do a "reading dark romance books for a week" video
your shirt is so adorable
Truly devious is such a good fall read! Also before the coffee gets cold is one of my favorites!! Good luck getting through these girly, you got this!!
You should keep all of your unread books on one bookshelf and move them over to the other bookshelves once you've finished them :) It would be like a physical way of seeing the list of unread books getting smaller! Love your videos girly 💕
Girl yes to the summer book comment! I no longer want to sit on the beach while reading about the beach so I read mainly thrillers so far this summer.
Don’t let having a big tbr put you in a bad mood! Buying books and reading them are 2 separate hobbies. A big tbr just means that you can bookshop in your own shelves!
i absolutely loved saturday night at the lakeside supper club, it was a really cool multi-generational/multi-pov story! 5/5 ⭐️
Des gurl! You are not alone hun!
you should read 'before the coffee gets cold' for sureee ! it's a little bit different but i really enjoyed it and i recommend it to everyone. it's perfect to read on a rainy summer day with a cup of coffee in hand ! think you would really enjoy it
and 'the poppy war' and the rest of the series!!!! they aren't easy to read at times and it took me a while to finish the books but at the end it was worth it. you just have to keep going and you won't regret it
i've read 'the night circus' in december and oh boy.... the atmosphere in this book was so magical and the plot and the characters... it all worked sooo good together!!! and the little subplot of romance!!! highly recommend
'the secret history' is my favorite book of all times! that's all i'm gonna say. just read it and thank me later
Love you and your videos I needed this today ❤
Just read the grace year and absolutely loved it!
You’ve reached Sam is soooo good. Only book to ever make me cry.
I’d love to see you read Redeeming Love, The Secret History and If We Were Villains❤️
u should have a series for getting thru ur physical tbr!!!
you can always bring a book or two you’re not planning on picking up while traveling and leaving them in those little libraries wherever you visit :)
omg before the coffee gets cold is sooo good def need to read also the picture of dorian gray was the first classic i read since high school and it was actually pretty good
You should read the turn of the key. It was absolutely amazing omg. One of my favourites
And radio silence. Literally Alice osemans best book
I really do recommend Kristin Hannah's books! The Night Road and the Nightingale are really good. My favorite is The Great Alone!
you should definitely do a video about finishing series you’re in the middle of
omgg early i was just watching sara; so happy u posted
Educated, the nightingale, and in a jam are good! I’m also currently reading the to all the boys I’ve loved before series
Ughhhh I was just thinking if Des is going to post today and whoa a notification of a new video 🥹
Destiny I’m BEGGING, when you read the Harry Potter series this fall, you must post a 3+ hour video of your unedited reactions 😭😭
City of Girls and the Nightingale are both so good!! Highly recommend either/both
it's a good day!! des posted🎉🎉
Read My Dark Romeo. It’s so good. The the FMC is just so sassy and the banter between them are just so fun to read
Before the coffee gets cold and the tales from cafe is such a heartwarming books! You should read it!
I mean i recommed you to read that later :)
Depending on the genre you could donate the books you’re not interested in to a children’s or general/ family hospital. It would give individuals who are there a sense of comfort in times of unknown & stress💛
Consider it as you always have a book to read. Just cause youre not interested in some at this very moment doesnt mean you never will be💕
see you yesterday is suchhhh a good book i hope u like it!!! a little slow at first imo but definitely made me cry and is a 5 star for me
Love your videos! Sending positive vibes for whatever you decide. I'm currently undecisive on what to read next from my TBR pile. Currently "The Shark Club" & "Beach Read" are calling out to me, lol.
OMG I would love to see how you really challange yourself to read all of them. SO many of my all time favorite books.
Hon, I feel your pain and your frustration and just defeat. I can hear it and I am the same. Or I was. I had like 500 books, after I unhauled hundreds… I am also about 20 years older than you and have been reading for my whole life lol.but I went in and was very hard on myself and realistic about what I wanted to actually keep and read because I was overwhelmed and in a huge slump because of it. I did kinda go a little crazy buying books earlier this year but then just stopped buying books other than my few book boxes. I’ve read 62 books so far and I’m ecstatic, I’m out of my slump and I feel lighter. I counted today and I have 219 books that I haven’t read but I didnt add the the whole series, just book one. Although I’d like that number to be closer to 100, I’m happy with it. I hope you figure out your process and good luck. It’s so hard when you’re a book lover.
this makes me feel better about my tbr
I'm in the process of reading Red, White and Royal Blue and it's nothing like I expected. It's so much better!!
Des you are absolutely amazing ❤. You make smile every time. You can do a Harry Potter reading vlog , it will be very good
whenever you reorganize your shelves you should make a catagory of books i've started but havent finished
everytime you mentioned one of my 5* books I was like how have you not read this yet youre missing out..... then i remember the 300+ books i own and havent read yet, honestly I related so much to this video 🤣
Loved this vid ✨💗 Redeeming Love is a great book, would recommend!
Des, I think you should post everyday cuz I MISS U TOO MUCH!
you should do a video reading certain series to knock out big chunks of your tbr at one time!
Before the coffee gets cold series is such a quick read you could probably read them in less than a day like 9am-5pm
des, bestie, it's completely fine if you don't get through your tbr
