I actually loved that she talked about the book slump, because I felt the exact same way and I didn't read a single page :((. I literally got scared bc I kept thinking "what if I actually hate reading and what do I do w all these books that I have 😭". And I kept feeling guilty bc I love reading so it felt like I was abandoning a child which sounds dramatic but its true

Yep, I know exactly how you feel. I've been VERY book-slumpy this year and it has sucked.

I just can’t believe it’s October like this until December is the best time of year and I love iiitttt

That completely disinterested feeling that comes with depression is called apathy if having a word to describe it helps anyone. :) Thank you Destiny for sharing your book slump feelings.x

Louise, thank you for commenting about this!! Having a word to connect with your feelings and emotions is so important. It makes it so much easier to research and learn about❤️

book slumps are literally every reader’s biggest fear. even tho ik that they’re normal it still scares me cuz it makes me think that i’m not into reading anymore. reading is like the one thing i’m sure of in my life and my only escape. it comforts me when other readers talk ab their book slumps bc it makes me feel not alone. love u des 🫶🏻

September definitely was a slumpy month. I feel like for a lot of people. My slump was like I want to read, but I would pick up a book and be like boohoo. Audiobooks have been getting me through tho

My days just got 10000 times better because Destiny, Sara and Haley posted💐💕

Destiny I just wanted to say thank you for sharing about the mental struggles you faced last month. I also struggle with anxiety and depression at times and for you to acknowledge that it’s a real thing and that it’s okay to have these feelings is really awesome and kind of you.❤

This made me feel not too bad because I am in an ongoing book slump...I pick up a book and my mood just says no not right now. As you said October will be a better month 💛 thanks for being a light destiny🌼

Don’t worry I’m on a book slump too, I tried to read and it was not fun and I didn’t want to pick up the book again …. Waiting for my love to books to return 🤓🤓

Honestly, thank you for not apologizing for your book opinions! It's so refreshing to see honest opinions on books (:

MOST AWAITED VIDEO! Book slumps are normal and nothing to be disappointed about. Reading should be for pleasure not as a competition. God bless you ✝️

thank you for talking about your book slump, i’ve been in one for 2 months and i cant even bring myself to hold a book, i’ve been really putting myself down over it so thank you ❤️

I have been in a slump for a few months so thank you for talking about it!

des it’s breaking my heart knowing you’re going through it :( but i hope you are doing okay now and october is looking up for you more than september, loved this video so much ❤️❤️

I love that you are open about your anxiety and your desperation because many people are scared that people will judge them and all of us are here for you and we love you ❤️❤️❤️

i hope you feel better this month destiny, thank u for your dedication and pushing through love ❤

i had a book slump the whole of September and i’m hoping I can read more this month :) i’ve already finished a book today and i’m proud of myself. Thanks for talking abt your slump it made me feel better about mine :)

thank you for being so vulnerable talking about your experience reading ‘bunny’. I felt the same reading ‘my year of rest and relaxation’ 😥😥

thaaaank you for talking about the b*ok sl*mp queen!!! i’m in one right now 😭 i’ve started the first chapter of like 6 different books and i just can’t 💔 but you actually made me realize it’s just other emotional factors. love u ❤️‍🩹💌

Aw I hope you don't feel too discouraged! I understand the feelings you're describing though and that happens sometimes when I'm trying out new genres. But at the end of the day I like to see what other genres are like to find out if there's new territory to explore in the future. :)

the book slump!!!! i have been the exact same since june it’s so weird & i’ve not been able to describe how it make me feel but u summed it up so well 😢🫶🏼

Destiny!! I hope you don’t feel pressure to get out of reading slumps for the sake of KZread, it’s really best for YOU to take care of yourself. Reading slumps are the worst but I’m glad to see that you were able to recognize those emotions and understand why you didn’t/did wanna read! But seriously, I wish you the best reading journey because I see how much you enjoy it ☺️🤍

Giirrl! When you were talking about Bunny I was thinking omg yes this is exactly how I felt when I read I’m Thinking of Ending Things and then you said what I was thinking 😂 that book left me so unsettled! I like couldn’t function after reading it

Literally everyone is in the slump/getting out of a september slump rn I swear🥹

i’m glad i wasn’t the only one with a veryyy bad slump this month 😭 i only read the selection series and a 2nd book i had been waiting a year for. But that one was sooo hard to read. Right one I’m reading before your memory fades :)

Destiney i love your Chanel so much, its a huge comfort to me and i hope you know that ❤ Also i dont think ever clicked onto a notification as fast as when i Saw the one for this video

i was in the biggest book slump this month ever since i started getting really into reading a year ago... i can relate to how you feel so much! i think for me the weather changing and it getting darker earlier etc. has really made me feel a bit depressed, and therefore i just didn't feel like reading as much...

your videos are soo comforting

I felt the EXACT same way this month. I picked up books and put them back down because I just couldn’t bring myself to read. I’m also glad that I’m not the only one who had the same thoughts about siege and storm. I was halfway through and then dnfed it.

in so many of your recent videos you have mentioned struggling with mental health and i just want to say i hope you feel better soon we all love you des

September was a rough reading month for me too. Here’s hoping October is better! ❤🤞

Thank you for sharing your struggles. Please Take care of yourself - we all love your videos, but we care about you more. ❤

i loveddd after i do it was my first tjr and im still obsessed

Destiny read heartstopper ( its such a cute quick heartwarming romance and my alltime fav comfort series) i think youd really like it and its a graphic novel so its quick and good for a bookslump

Yes u are the first to talk about How to Survive Your Murder. I read it last week and I loved it. I love slasher movies and books and it was so good.

Currently in the same book slump 😭& it is very scary & nerve wrecking. Thanks for sharing, Destiny! ❤

love you des, you're the best!

I had a horrible book slump swell but also school just started up again so I think that might be the main reason for my lack of reading :( I hope October is a better reading month.

I was also in such a big slump this month, I normally read from 8-10 books per month but this month I only read 3.

This month was pretty good for me. I challenged myself to 30 books in 30 days and while I didn’t make it to 30, I still read more than I usually do

Heyyyy so early 😝❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I just get soooo happy when u upload a vid

Whenever I get in my really bad mental weeks, I don’t want to do literally anything. Like I want to but my brain doesn’t lol. So I feel you on that and your feelings are totally valid.

Love your channel! And I pre-ordered it starts with us by colleen hoover (second book of it ends with us). When you get the book, you get 2 exclusive chapters and OMG! I can't wait!!

I’m literally so excited to read dance of thieves and vow of thieves!!!

you can read one book love and i will still watch your wrap up

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VID

This is so relatable!

Love the video! Experiencing this kind of book slump right now! 🙄

I was in a book slump FOR SURE! I think it was because I live in Arkansas where it's still hot so I don't want to read fall books but it's September so it's fall. I just felt blah

I had such a slump this month too! My total read was 8 and even then I read them in like 2 bursts and then nothing for weeks

I've been in a book slump since the beginning of the year but I actually think I'm about to get out of it and try and read the secret history.

leigh bardugo confirmed recently she’s writing a 3rd book in the six of crows series! kinda excited kinda terrified lol

September I also really struggled with first of all being super busy but also mental health. All that together also put me in a book slump and I read only 2 books and that’s cause they were audiobooks. It’s October 6th and I’m still feeling the reading slump unfortunately but hopefully I can get out of it.

I felt the exact same way this month. I wanted to read so badly, I just couldn't. I've never felt like this in my entire life and it really does suck.

I am so glad I am not the only one who was in a slump in September. In August I read and loved 25+ books, in September it was around 7. Don't get me wrong I loved the books I read September but I just didn't have motivation to read anything else.

omgg i was in a lil but of a book slump too bc i only read one book this month.

i’m a junior in high school this year and i have been SO SWAMPED with school i didn’t read any books this month 😭😭 i have so many books i wanna read but zero time to do so

I had the same thoughts and feelings for How to Survive Your Murder. Predictable, and easy, but super enjoyable!

Aw I hope you feel better with your mental health love!

I was in a huge book slump this month too, I took a break and then reread one of my 5 stars that originally got me back into reading last year and that really helped! Also shadow and bone put me into a major book slump last month too. Highly don’t recommend

I saw “Ice Breaker” in my kindles ADs & the first thing that came to mind when I read the summary was the movie “The Cutting Edge”. It’s an old movie that I absolutely loved and the soundtrack🥰 I wonder is possible to plagiarize a movie,because they are eerily identical. SN: by admitting to knowing this movie, I’m aging myself😂

I have a book slump every year. But I do that a lot with like everything.

UGH Destiny I just wanna be your best friend!!! I just love your personality so much🥰🫶🏼

if you like enemies to lovers fantasy then you should continue the Folk of the Heir Series. I didn’t love the first book but the second and third were so good!!

We happy in October to December. Good 🕙 to read books 📚.Class mates. Books Friends.Hope you can cook vegetables. Thanks sharing.

I've been in the biggest book slump on earth, I literally read 3 books in september and 2 in august wtf

i read bunny this month and i am now in the worst slump. it made me feel so weird.

*reading books out of my comfort zone*

I read my personal record of books in a month in May and I have been in a reading slump ever since. I think its more of me just not having time to dedicate to reading than anything else

I felt in a reading slump 😩 I only read 3 books this month I’m going to blame it on it being my birthday month and retrograde 😂😂

seems like we all have been in a slump . i only read 3 books last month . 😅

The last couple of months I haven't been reading much and most of what I had read was mediocre. So I decided to make tbr for this month and I've read 7 books already this month. I guess I'm moving out of my mood reading era

when i'm reading books like bunny i never enjoy it while it's going on but afterwards i keep thinking back on it. very interesting but also boring and confusing at the same time lol

I had an awful reading slump this month I usually read 13-15 books a month I only read 4 this month😬

I started college and got into a major reading slump. I've only read 7 books in the past month and half:(

September has also been really off for me. I really enjoy the book i'm reading and want to continue but i just can't, it's really annoying.

Dance of Thieves put me in a book slump :( I read half of it before I DNF

You liked it MORE than the off campus series?? brb going to go buy it

I’m in a slump too 😣

Can you pretty please do an overview video of your feelings on the ACOTAR series? ❤️‍🔥

I am currently in such a book slump and I want to get out of it!

Unrelated but what lipstick/lipgloss are you wearing? I love the color!

My slump has been for like 4 months straight now 😭 I genuinely just can’t bring myself to read

des!!!! please read the stalking Jack the Ripper series this month:))

Its ok. You should try reading children’s books to take your mind off other books cause that’s what I always do

ive been in a book slump since may :(

Idk why but every one that I now and reads has beeen on a reading slump this past September including my self lit idk why

Read so much in august and then only read 2 books in September, my worst slump so far

This month I read six books but I had to push myself to bc im in a reading slump too...

I haven’t read a single book in a month and a half. And I’m honestly okay with it. I have read 109 books this year ( already) and I feel like too much is too much.

Destiny next month can you please read lies like wild fire it’s so good such a good mystery one of my favorite books of all time! (It got me out of a book slump)

Totally get what you mean about sometimes finishing some books and after they leave you feeling really dark and empty. This month I read My Dark Vanessa so I thought I’d mention that that book gave me that dark, empty feeling. I know it’s all over TikTok so thought I’d give a warning incase you ever thought about reading it that it is one of those books that makes you feel really sad and horrible after. I felt the same about Bunny, I didn’t really enjoy it and I felt like I was missing something and was like “am I dumb?”. Hope you’re doing well 💛

same I was in a awful book slump I could not read anything

I don’t know if I was in a reading slump or if I was really busy?? This was my first month at college and it was definitely hard to find time to read :((
