FINALLY BUYING BOOKS AFTER MY BOOK BUYING BAN 

i feel like a good way to minimize physical tbr while also letting yourself buy books is to buy up to one less book than you read from your physical tbr the month before ex; if you read 4 books from your physical tbr in august, only buy at most 3 books in september

WHO ELSE WAS SO EXCITED 🤚

Omg Destiny last weekend I was at Barnes and I also had to stop at the SJM table lol (naturally) but this girl came up to me and we started talking about ACOTAR. A few minutes later, two other girls come up and the four of us all just have a literal 45 minute conversation about SJM it was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. The book community is so cutie 💕☺️

i dont even care how far away this future bookstore of yours is from me, nothing can stop me from visiting. SO excited for you Des

I’m so proud of you❤ I went on a book buying ban recently bc I also want to learn how to deal w emotions in another way than buying books (plus my tbr is insanely big) and it’s hard:(

THIS IS NOT A DRILL! THE BOOK BAN IS OVER🎉🎉🎉

Never normally comment (just a silent watcher) but I HAVE to break my silence to tell you to read Jade City!! It’s one of my all time favourite series now, and I’ve re read the whole thing twice this year because I cannot get enough of the characters (aka Kaul Hilo). It’s an amazing mix of urban fantasy, crime gangs, politics, and romance 🤩

i hope all your coffee orders are perfect this week! keep being you des, xoxo

Hi Destiny, I'm not sure if your going to read this but I just want to thank you for being open about your anxiety. I am a teenager in high school and have a lot of pressure from this that gives me anxiety. I also had a horse that died nearly a year ago due to surgery gone wrong and this has been very hard on me as he was my best friend. But due to you being open about your anxiety has helped me a massive amount and more than likely a lot of other people. Every video you post has always put me in a smile. Don't ever change x keep going and I can't wait for your next video xx

brandon sanderson is very wholesome! also mistborn is a young adult series! it’s less intimidating than it looks I swear!

The moment I saw Mistborn come out of the bag aaaaaa! That series is sooo good! Especially the first book :) Like: charismatic characters + crazy good fantasy stuff going on + cinematic flying sequences + just the perfect sprinkle of romance = mistborn 1

I went on a ban with you and girl…IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE SO I CAN JUSTIFY BUYING BOOKS AGAIN!! 🤭

your mom is such an mvp for meeting you at barnes. my heart was so full, it was so sweet. i love far from my mom so it makes me so happy seeing you two hang and bond together.

You can't imagine what my face went like when I saw Destiny picking up Hallowe'en Party. I don't read classics and I read contemporary fiction mostly, but Agatha Christie is my favorite author and her books are just something else for me. Now, Hallowe'en Party specifically is not her greatest book for sure, but as a starter you may enjoy it a lot more than as your 20th-30th Agatha Christie book.

Jade City is SO good! The Greenbone Saga is one of my fav fantasy series.

The Queens Assassin is literally one of my FAVORITE books ever!! So good!!

destiny i find that a good strategy is to go book shopping more frequently, BUT only pick up a couple books that you’re going to read within the next couple of days! this way you’re always keeping up with your physical TBR! i love these videos tho!!!

Scarlett St. Clair is such a good author!! Her Persephone Hades retelling series are SOO good

Seriously the only RU-vidr I care to watch. I appreciate how much you upload and how much thought go into your videos!! Love the long videos too!! Always look for new videos to watch from you to keep me occupied while I’m doing things around the house

the alani in the background on the top shelf genuinely seems like it’s there for decor

“Don’t come for me if my math is wrong” GIRL when you said 19 so quick I went “damn she smartttt” I could never add that fast😭😭

For another fun Halloween read, I highly recommend Not the Witch you Wed! It’s the first in a trilogy. The second one is so good too! The third comes out next year.

Thank you Miss Stacey for the beautiful cinematography in Barnes, your work is forever appreciated. ❤😌

I was thrilled to see you book shopping. Just to let you know I did plenty of book shopping for both of us. Bless your heart I know what your anxiety is like. I hope book buying helps you dear. Great to have you back to buying!!!

I'm in the middle of reading Little White Lies and loving it! I've never read anything from Jennifer Lynn Barnes and glad I took the chance with this book. Great haul and now my TBR list has grown! 🤣

I randomly started A Deadly Education a couple of days ago and I’m 100 pages in and I enjoy it. It has thrown me once or twice because it says something like you’re suppose to already know but you don’t. It just throws you in. It’s fast paced to me which means you’ll finish it in an hour and a half. I can see why some wouldn’t enjoy it if you compare it with things in the same realm but I don’t have that issue. I love the characters and what it’s giving.

i hope you like the prison healer! I personally disagree with Sara that it was slow. For me, it was super riveting and I was captivated the entire time. Maybe I could appreciate it more since my genre is fantasy, so I hope you like it, it's one of my favorite series!

Omg yay!! The prison healer is absolutely amazing! I binged the whole series last month, make sure you’re ready to grab the next book! Lynette knows how to leave cliff hangers

Seeing you in the town I grew up in is so crazy. I was born in Bloomington and lived there for the first 12 years of my life. I moved to Florida 4 years ago. Whenever Morgenstern's first opened my grandma called me and told me about it. The next time I came to visit we went to it for the first time and it was so adorable. It is now somewhere I make sure I go to at least once every time I go back home. The vibes are amazing and it is set up so nicely.

THE QUEEN HAS AWOKEN!! AND SHE WANTS SOME MORE BOOKS

King of battle and blood is soo good! I had the best time reading it. Thank god the second one comes out soon!

FINALLY DES IM SO PROUD OF YOU ❤️ I COULD NEVER

I couldn’t wait for this her vids always cheer me up and give me motivation to read ❤

OH I HAVE BEEEEEEN WAITING FOR THIS, I HAVE MY TEA AND SNACKS AT THE READY!!! 🤭💖💖💖

lowkey need more book hauls 🤭🩷

You could buy 1 book for every 5 you read to keep you motivated to lower your tbr.

YES I was so hoping to get this!! Watching your tiktok about finally being off your ban gave me the final push to go on a book buying ban.

Your mom helping you film is the cutest thing ever❤️

we love a supportive mom

omg you opening your own bookstore would be so amazing and cool!! like what?? 😍 I most definitely would fly there to see it and support you on opening day! (low-key that's been a huge dream of mine for a long time too but I've always been to scared to do it because it's something I've never said to anyone out loud before and was nervous people would talk me out of it.. but if you can do it I can do it too💗💗)

your mom is so precious and adorable!!

Omg I’ve been waiting for this ever since you announced the book buying ban!! I was so excited

Summer sister is my absolute favorite book ever. I cannot wait to hear your thoughts.

So nice to see a channel about books. Seems like people are reading less and less nowadays 😔

Your mom is so cute and supportive! AHHHH, I can't with how cute y'all are. 💖

I’m almost done with book 2 of the Greenbone Saga. This series is very heavy on political intrigue, with little fantasy elements. If you’re interested in reading about politics, clan wars, family drama/relationships then definitely give it a try! It’s really good if those interest you!!

You and your mom together are so cute ❤️ she’s so supportive!

OMG you were at the Greenwood Barnes!!! That’s my Barnes!!! I was there the day after you filmed this, I would’ve died to meet you. I hope you enjoyed your spree queen!

Your thumbnails are my favorite!! They’re so aesthetically pleasing💖

Little White Lies is so fun! the sequel is insane. It's just southern rich people drama and it's amazing!

Clearing my schedule to watch this video! The moment has arrived

Buying books is the last joy available to me 😅. I don’t have the willpower you have to quit for any amount of time.

I LOVED THE INHERITENCE GAMES SO MUCH TOO OMG. MY FAVE SERIES EVER. ALMOST DONE WITH THE BROTHERS HAWTHORNE AND ITS SO GOOD😭🥰

ITS TIME IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE🎉🎉🎉

The new movie coming out called A Haunting in Venice is based off of that Agatha Christie novel! If you like her novels you may like that movie (as well as other movies based off her books….Murder on the Orient Express & Death on the Nile)

immediately turned this on once i got home today!!!! i’m so excited!

THE VIDEO WE’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

Your mom being a supportive girlie🥹

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE TURN IT UP!

The way i have been so excited for youuuuuuu

I think when the cover is like a half cover it’s called a step back. I don’t know if that’s right I just think I remember someone calling it that. Good job on your book buying ban!!

WAKE UP THE QUEEN HAS POSTED🛐🛐

So many choices, so excited for you Destiny! 😊

YAYY she’s back at it!! I can’t wait for you to read Agatha Christie, she’s an icon. And your mum’s shots of you in barns are so good! She seems like the sweetest lady 💞 sending you love, Des 🩵

YAAAAAS!!! Des is BACK, spending all the coins!

Ok let’s get this girl to 200k subs!❤

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ♥️💖💌

The fact that she said foliage for some reason it just baffled me because I studied floristry in July to recently

I LOVE BRANDY SANDY. mistborn's magic system is kinda funky but it's so good! he's so wholesome and he never gives me the icky "man writing a woman" vibes also i didn't like the prison healer as much other people. i thought the trials were kinda dumb and the big thing at the end i feel like kind of came out of nowhere

I love your vlogs. They are calming and cozy to me. That is not an easy feat for me.

The notification for this video popped up and I IMMEDIATELY clicked on it! I have been WAITING for this video!!

your mom is everythingggg

if you ever come to michigan you have to go to schulers bookstore! there's a few throughout the state and it's my favorite bookstore of all time.

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR FOREVER!! IM SO EXCITED

if u ever opened a bookstore i would totally visit!

I just got the Judy Blume book Summer Sisters as well! I found it while browsing a used bookstore in my area :)

i also have a central perk keychain like that! not exact but so cute!!

GIRL! That’s the Barnes I go too 😍 so crazy seeing it in your video 🥰

I love that we got this video on national buy a book day 💕

The way I have been waiting for this video... I'm too excited P.S., we must protect Stacey at all costs, this book buying adventure has me wanting to go hug my mama!

Bloomington (used to live in Indy) girlie here. Love Morgensterns! It’s always so busy though. If you’re ever in Nashville, IN, Naughty Dog Books is super cute too!

Yes!!!!!! I have been so excited for this video ❤🙌🎉

The video we’ve all been waiting for

SHE IS POSTING BACK-TO-BACK BANGERS! 🤚

jade city is SO GOOD. the green bone saga is my fav series, I would def recommend. I would just know going into it there isn't a lot of romance and this is a politcs heavy book!

I work at an Indie bookstore! We get new books the day they come out! ❤

please do a whats on my iphone video and different book apps you use like goodreads, etc x

THE SPIDERMAN ROOM IS GIVING PLS WE NEED A TOUR!!!

I hate when they put the stickers on the covers. I use a hairdryer to make them peel off easier.

I am at work right now but I cannot wait to watch this video ❤❤

omg stop your mom filming is so cute and it was so good 😍❤

When I look up little white lies on goodreads it gives me the prettiest cover and it actually sounds intriguing I want it😍despite never having read JLB before 😅 I figure it’s worth the shot

I only allow myself to buy a book when I read 2 from my TBR (but I'm not a collector...well, yet 😂)
