Book Shopping at the BEST bookstores in New York 📚 + book haul

Hello friends!
I just got back from an amazing book shopping trip to New York City and honestly I could have stayed there for an entire week just browsing all the bookstores. In this video I visit some of the best bookstores in NYC (The Strand, Shakespeare & Co, Albertine, The Corner Bookstore & more!) We also visit the largest bookstore in the entire world, Barnes and Noble in Union Square! The entire trip was amazing and I already can't wait to go back.

Hearing a stranger say you look like you were from a fairytale, was priceless! Then hearing Jared saying you do, was so sweet! Loved it all so much!!!😍🥰😍

[kittyquinn]

If only more people would comment “You look like something out of a fairytale” instead of catcalling!!! 😭💚 also your hairstyle in the second half of the video is the CUTEST!! 😍

And YES!! Please make this bookshop video a series!! 💚

The only thing wrong with this enchanting video is that it didn’t last for days. 🥰 Thank you, Desi, for taking us with you and creating such a magical walk through this city, these amazing bookshops, and this romantic life! ❤️📚🌸

Yess! The quality of the editing makes me feel like I’m watching a Harry Potter movie, and I cannot even start to explain how happy one video of yours makes me feel! Your videos are pure talented magic ✨

Waking up and seeing a Darling Desi video as you sit down to coffee is like someone waking you up with fluffy pancakes and fresh maple syrup. 🥰

[farrah]

Love when the passer-by told you that you looked like something out of a fairytale, which you absolutely did ❤

[jazrodriguez]

Desi thanking people for staying the whole 40 minutes —> me replaying the whole 40 minutes because the whole 40 minutes feels like such a tender conversation amongst kindred spirits and book lovers ❤

[stopbeingana-hole]

I’m sobbing about that man’s compliment, and then your partner sweetly agreeing 😭❤️
So wholesome, and such a great compliment.
Edit: This video was beautiful!

Murder your Employer is actually an absolutely charming book. It's kind of like a backwards murder mystery (you know the intended victim and murderer, but you don't know how and if the murder happens). The characters are lovely and there's a very interesting academy as well. I just finished it recently and absolutely loved it.

[dehelwig]

Only Desi could make NYC look this magical...amazing talent!

[laurarwhittaker]

Wow Desi!! The music, your editing omg this is cinematic magic ✨ feels like watching a comfort movie with everyone’s favourite main character 🩵📖

[hiimchuckiewannaplay]

This is hands down the most fun I've had watching a vlog of yours Desi! You and J have really nailed capturing the whimsy of exploring a city and the simple pleasures of life.

I've always been told to never judge a book by its cover, but come on, the covers capture my attention! 📚😍

[rebeccafett]

I have NO words! Just Wow! Desi I LOVE your videos! They make me feel so happy and bring me out of my head and into a fairytale! It shows me that I can be exactly who I want to be, the little girl yelling at me to get out and be free! You give me the courage to be my authentic self, just like you are! ❤

[madimorelli]

Going through the worst breakup of my life right now and Desi, the content is keeping me stable lol! Romanticization has become key to holding anxiety at bay

[asmaa_vlog_]

She's literally the only person I can watch over and over again without getting bored or tired 💖 you inspire me sm w my channel 💖🥰🍓♥️♥️🥰♥️🎉😊😊😊🎉

[goodmornindreamer]

As someone who is an introvert and gets easily overwhelmed with crowds, I honestly had no desire to visit New York. But after watching this video and seeing all the lovely bookstores Desi visited, I'm reconsidering my decision on this. Books and maybe a Broadway musical?! Time to start saving up 🥰✨

[lynnlange]

Rehabbing from a hip replacement, feeling a bit of discomfort, Desi shows up with books...Boom! Feeling good now. LOVED this video!!

[vickyironhand]

How can I not finish a Desi video? They are pure serotonin! They make me so happy and I love your aesthetic and editing. 💖💜🪻🪷🌺
