the deep breath and then "i'm gonna choose happiness" just hits 😭😭 thank you for filming and working on this video even though you were going through it, you're amazing 💗

[user._]

the way I clicked so fast😭 Honestly summer is my favorite time to read I'm so excited

[heyitsdaliiii]

Literally just got up to take a break from studying! Glad I get to spend it with you haha

[destinylamont]

I should not be watching this at work but I am. You literally make me want to order more books when I just put in an order.

[fallenashes]

I don't really like summer (hate sweating and bugs) but I'm so exited just to read fun summer books 😂

[maggiesarah]

another good summer book recommendation: one true loves by elise bryant!! it’s about lenore going on a cruise and she gets in an argument with a stranger named alex and their families become friends so they have to spend time together. i won’t say anything more abt the book to not spoil but i LOVED it so much i rated 5 stars!!!

[lulwaalkanderi]

The way my mood instantly improved when I saw the notification 😭😭💗

[chocolateoreo]

I adore how passionate Des is about books❤❤

[audreydifilippo]

Me too girl on the not being able to picture stuff while reading 😭😭it’s actually aphantasia if you aren’t able to “see” things in your mind

[amandah]

Not me stopping every three minutes of this video to either buy/library check out half of the books Destiny recommends 😂

[Ylimeable]

Whenever there are really detailed descriptions of anything I also appreciate it. If there isn't one I literally have nothing going on in my brain and I have no idea what I should be picturing. Whenever I see stuff on tiktok similar to what you see, I also feel like I do not see the same thing. I feel like there are plenty of people that are like that, but they don't really say anything about it.

aw the covers for elin hilderbrand’s books are so pretty

[ginnyluv]

i absolutely understand how over it you are. im almost finished with saving 6. im almost done with senior year lol. so i clicked on this video fast! ily and thanks for always making my day ❤

[hey-jdfh]

[danielleruggiero]

[emilypal]

I loved One Italian Summer! It made me cry, but also made me feel like I was in Italy! I have trouble picturing settings and stuff too but in this one I could really see and feel the vibes

[maggiesarah]
