I am happy to be back to posting after taking a short break again and I really am so sorry for the inconsistent posting recently. I am trying to find a stable posting schedule and will update when I have one fixed.

i love the fact that books give you sooo many topics to debate >>>>
exactly this! it’s absolutely amazing and whenever someone talks about books i just get so excited and READY to talk
This is what I love about the book community!!
4:13 FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT !! all I see nowdays on tiktok is girls reading books for smut but oh god its so annoying like if there is no story or a great plot , how are you not bored relying on smut ? Is that not boring ? I love when there is less smut , more innocent romantic moments and a great plot
I totally agree if I’m reading a romance book I don’t mind one or two scenes at the end but when it’s constant over and over it’s yuck. Some of my non reader friends are only reading some books for the smut and missing all these good books that they would like because they only want to read porn on paper. Also only my opinion
@@bookshockeywhatever I so agreeeeeeeeee with you
EXACTLY. i like to read smut but its good only if i ship them. why would i care about it if there's literally no connection between them? i get so bored and FRUSTRATED when they start having sex outta nowhere like thats so unnecessary?
do you have any recommendations with this kind of description?
If I want smut, I’ll just read erotica 🤷🏽♀️
People hate the miscommunication trope bc it’s the most realistic
OOP
we read to get away from reality😭😭
I think it depends, most miscommunication tropes ive read include exaggerated and dragged out scenarios that most people would solve in a 5 minute conversation. However a situation like ‘normal people’ might be more realistic for others. Personally I prefer to talk straight away to avoid overthinking + anxiety so miscommunication tropes actually feel super unrealistic to me and thats why i avoid them ahahah. I actually love reading realistic situations in books, but im sure lots of other people read to avoid reality 😅
yeah i totally agree with you. i just think it depends HOW the author executes this trope. if i see my 2 main characters get a divroce because of something as stupid as not communicating, im GOING to be mad
Most of the hate comes from the fact that most authors don't do it properly and it gets dragged on for longer than needs be. it's annoying irl but having to read it is just as exhausting.
i DESPISEEEE dark romance; it’s usually just a romanticisation of abuse/toxic relationships, stalking & SA
No literally 💀💀 like I’ll see ppl justify this with “no but it’s edgy and ur sensitive” um, sa isn’t edgy babes. It’s literally illegal ❤️❤️
FR like in haunting adeline that was just rape
FINALLY SOMEONE WHO USES THEIR PHONE AS "bookmarks"
It’s soooo good
I thought I was the only one that loved friends to lovers more than enemies to lovers🙏🏼😭
Do you have any good recommendations?
@Diva the addicted series is a really good one and then the summer I turned pretty I think🫶🏼
same!!
@@DivaviD cheat sheet is RLLY good
@@d1va565 But what I've heard about the book is that characters are immature and childish,is it so?
idk if you’ve already read them, but the dance of thieves duology is superior enemies to lovers and it made me SOB. highly recommend especially based off the things you were describing you like in this video
OMG YEEEES i feel is sooo underrated
DANCE OF THIEVES DUOLOGY IS LIKE THE BEST THING OUT THERE
Same with the remnant chronicals!! A little bit slower than dance of thieves but honestly not really lol
@@c22d22 i’m reading these soon!
I read the trilogy writtern by the same author "The remnant chronicles" a long time ago and Im pretty sure it had a mild enemies to lover trope if I can remember correctly but I know I loved it so I've been trying to pick up the dance of thieves and now this comment makes me want to pick it up more!!
- I hate friends to lovers
- I don‘t like smut
- I still haven’t read the shatter me series. 😭
- I am in a book buying ban ( the last time I bought a book was in Oktober 2022 cuz I got gift cards for my birthday)
Edit:
I don‘t like 2nd chance romances
i haven't read shatter me either. One of my bestfriends keep giving me mixed signals if they like it or not and i know that should'nt influence me much but like- their opinions on books is superior.
SHATTER ME WAS SO GOOD, you should read it ‼️‼️
@@brooklynhamler4826Dony let anyone manipulate you into this book. It romantizes SA soooo bad.. Aaon freaking warner keeps gaslighting Juliette, he abuses, her, psychologically and verbally ALL THE TIME. And booktok will
they you he is the cutest because He cAlLs HeR LoVe. Dont Read it.
@@Martyna-hu9xsFINALLY SOMEONE WITH SENSE OMFG
@@Martyna-hu9xs pretty sure you only read the first book . please continire reading before hating on aaron also aaron never sa juliette ? she literally kissed him back. Aaron never abused her ?? what the hell are you talking about ??
AHH MADITA UPLOADED (I have to study but priorities!!)
i agree with the rainbow bookshelf being bad if you have a series separated, but if they are all standalones and different authors it can look really good
crying over books just hits different
literally. i cried so hard after reading they both die at the end but at the same time, i loved sobbing my whole body out and wishing i wasn't real. it made the experience memorable.
Kenji Kishimoto is %10000 the best character in the Shatter Me books. Period.
FACTS
Yes
About the rainbow bookshelves, i would also never seperate series but it works with standalones. So I only have a tiny rainbow part in my bookshelf😅
thats my biggest problem with rainbow shelves like how do you sit there and stare at like book 1 being a the top and book 4 being in the middle and book 2 being at the bottom, it's beyond me😂
enemies to lovers only makes sense in fantasy books as they have a valid reason for being enemies, within simple romance books half of the time they aren't enemies as either one of them likes the other or as you said they just dont like each other. I actually liked the spanish love deception but for people to label it as an enemies to lover is completely wrong. And if by any chance they genuinely have a hatred and are enemies its just simply romantisicing bullying and abuse.
fr. i haven't read the spanish love deception but i hate when people label random romance books " enemies to lovers " when its really just miscommunication and abuse.
Same thing with better then the movies lol 😭
4:00 I agree sm with this one. some ppl are scared to even highlight their books, because they wont look "new" anymore, and i get it. whatever works with you. but i personally like my books to look like i enjoyed, used, and devoured them. especially when i reread it and see them highlighted with my thoughts written all over *chef's kiss*
Can we talk about how pretty she is looking. Short hairs are looking so good on her ❤.
I absolutely agree that you can break your spines and dog ear pages and annotate and write in your books. You know why. Because. They. Are. Yours. And. Are. Meant. To. Be. Loved. And who cares, they belong to you, you bought them with your own money, do what you want with it. Doodle in your books if you really want it adds character and personality. 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚
I love watching people freak out when you crack your book spines 😂
I agree so much with reading in your first language, I cannot for the life of me read romance in dutch (my first language).. the pet names, the declaration of love ughhhhh. Thrillers and mysteries are fine tho
I REALLY HATE WITH MY WHOLE HEART when a man says to the girl something like “I own you”, “you are mine” in a possessive way. Like grow up
21:26 so true (thriller is the only acceptable genre in german) also the acting performance >>
As a person from the UK 95% of my books are the same size, and I can confidently say Madita would be terrified of my Bookshelves
18:27 the only time it’s ok is if it’s a Rick Riordan book, bc he literally makes fun of it and it’s basically always a punchline💀💀
madi talking about bookmarks: "you will lose them!".... no madi YOU will lose them #ilovebookmarks
Same. I've never lost a bookmark. Or maybe because I just don't lose stuff in general.
Excited for this one because Madita is always right 😏
11:20 Me when the characters get together and I'm not interested in their story anymore
what you said about FOUND FAMILY... I COMPLETELY AGREE. FOUND FAMILY FOREVER FFF>>>>>>>> love you!! 💗🫶
right it makes so Much sense
The best trope by far
DIDN’T REALLY LIKE SHATTER ME?! Who could even say that... How can one say that? Please tell me because I’m a little too obsessed with it, I need to cool down 😂
im having an emotional and stressful day but I know this video is gonna make feel so much better. thank you madita❤
For the found family trope you HAVE to read the boy who steals houses litterally no ones knows it and its so good you dont understand
The enemies to lovers imagination is so true 😂 especially the knife to throat one 🤣❤️
Finally someone who doesn’t like twisted love and AlEx VoLkOv……….💀💀like bro is soo ehh
Ok im here to clear this up.
*I. Hate. Cracking. The. Spine.*
Ok like yk how some people just have that one thing theyre kinda OCD about?? For me its damaged/ poor condition books. Like if u crack the spine a lot u can barely read the title. I love to read and i don't just use my books for decoration but i need them to still look nuce for me to feel motivated to read them. I guess thats my like artist perfectionist side of me coming out when im reading 🤷♀️
yeah my friend mk is also a perfectionist and this is her exact same thinking process
i hate cracking spines, it doesnt look nice on my shelf, even if the spine is just creased. I wish all books were just floppy
wait the thing u said about bully books is actually sooo true. like are their books like that cause i need that. girl revenge on bully then gets with their best friend??? that sounds fire
Dog ear is too practical to not. Also even tho rainbow bookshelves look really nice, I could NEVER!!!
Also “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a horrible comparison, bc like, tf? Who are you to tell me I can’t spend my money on a book I may hate just bc it has a BEAUTIFUL cover. Like, if I’m book shopping and I see a book with a gorgeous cover I am instantly buying it. And if a book is 5 stars but has a disgosting cover… yeah there’s no chance.
0:40 I almost cry when I accidentally crack the spine
I have cried when I’ve accidentally cracked a spine 💀
Does amyone have fantasy enemies to lovers book recommendations with minimum smut? I want a good book to read, but smut isn't really my thing
ive always felt so excluded from the book community because of all these opinions but knowing you and i have allllll the same opinions on books makes me feel so good
I just found you today and I love you so much all of your videos are so funny. Your ✨energy ✨is so awesome I also love Vanessa
Thank you ahhhh
@@maditales yw💗
Yes, Shatter Me is LIFE 💪
EDIT: HOW TF COULD YOU NOT LIKE SHATTER ME😭
Do I always like Madita's videos before I watch them , yes of course I do .
My unpopular book opinions:
1. Even if you don’t like Colleen Hoover books, you shouldn’t shame those who do, but I also don’t like Colleen Hoover books
2. Relaxing the book spine>>>breaking the book spine
3. Real People on book covers 🤢
4. 10 year + Age gaps 🫢
5. The summer I turned pretty books>>>the show
6. Smut is overrated and unnecessary
7. I like using book marks because they are so cute and match the cover
8. Annotating/writing in books is SUPERIOR
even though i don't agree with a lot of those they are so valid. Also, annotating makes the experience so much more real. Especially when you re-read or go through it again and you see past annotations on things that were meaningful>>>
@@brooklynhamler4826 yeah you probably don’t agree with them bc they are my “unpopular” opinions so that is expected. I mostly just cringe at my old annotations tho bc I highlighted the dumbest things and didn’t mark on the most important lol
LITERALLY! Breaking book spines>>>
6:27 belly and conrad tsitp... she was better with jeremiah
11:53 I don't know why, but I prefer reading online....
like I love buying books and touching them and all that stuff
but I always prefer online reading bc it's more convenient
21:51 thats so true ! for me " normal people " was so much better in the show as compared to the book. The book was really slow and a hard read for me but the show kept me attached
2:37
her: “i want the girl to get revenge and like-”
me: “chop his head off!”
her “ruin his reputation.”
it’s 4am idk why i thought that
My first thought was kill him but like, hers works too.
The "and then gets with his best friend" was so out of the pocked 10/10 would read
I am also a sad book lover, I love crying as well, however it's not just sad books that make me cry, like I sobbed reading a good girls guide to murder, and I sobbed reading heartstopper, like I am just an emotional sensitive mess, and reading books that are meant to be sad and make you cry, make me cry ten times harder lol
Finally I found someone who cries over every book-😭
I’m so glad more people agree that “too much” smut is unnecessary. Like 1 or 2 scenes is fine but sometimes it is so much. That’s why I didn’t like Icebreaker, because every chapter had smut. EVERY CHAPTER
We need to normalise dog earing books and breaking spines because i cannot go on with people yelling at me like im some animal when i do it, like it’s MY book which i bought with MY OWN money.
Yeah for sure, same with highlighting and anotating.
"I love The Maze Runner movies, I HATE the books" so true.
I always need to remind my self that everyone has their opinion even if they don’t like my comfort book that got me out of the reading slump after a year but it’s still hurts to hear 😭😭 (letters to the lost) but YES to cracking spine, YES to shatter me, YES to agggtm
I used to be sooo anti book spine cracking but now i need to do it BUT it needs to be even throughout the book, you feel??? Every 20 or so pages I will crack it so the weight is evenly distributed (also for aesthetic purposes, duh)
I am actually scared, I agree with EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. of this video :)
(As in Madita’s ‘review’ it not the actual opinions)
Madita, have you read "A very large expanse if sea" by Tahereh Mafi?
Dog earring pages are CRIME 😭 ik nobody is going to know that you are dog earring pages, but there is still CONSCIENCE. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life if I do that.
naurrrrrrrr i loveeee it but yeah i get it
My unpopular opinion: Shatter me is utter shite and Juliette has less personality than a beige wall.
Lmaoo this comment is so funny bc I mean I love shatter me but you worded it so hilariously
6:50 it’s funny u mentioned love and other words bc although they didn’t think of eachother as siblings, imo they were wayyyy to comfortable w eachother. like some of those conversations made me cringe to no end there is no way ppl are like that irl. the story itself was so cute and i loved both of them but that made what could’ve been a 5 star book 4.5 for me
I literally agreed with everything you said except breaking the spine , so far I cant bring myself to do it 😂
Could you please tell us a few recommendation for this kind of enemys so lovers trope in Fantasy? (Sorry für The english (also deutsch 😅))
I despise age gap stories at times, sometimes it's okay but usually it's just gross
I was reading shatter me but I got bored on the second book 😭Should I try and continue reading??
yes!!!!! from the 3 it gets better (if you won't like 3 one, can give up haha)
i am sharing my opinions although no one will see it:
1. I don't like mega hyped up books. I get a hard time getting into them.
2. Reading in your phone/ tab/ kindle is better than reading actual books.
3. Kiss, hug, holding hands >>>>>>>>>>>> smut
4. NON ABUSIVE Rivals to lover trope is the best
5. I love idiots in love trope
6. Annoying character is not a bad character if they were meant to be like that
2:35
YESSS exactly cuz i like enemies to lovers BUT BRUH “BULLy” NAH why would u like them
And I HATED twisted game and twisted love also
I love enemies to lover more then friends to lover:)
I’m so excited for this because I have so many unpopular opinions
4:19 *cough* *cough* Verity by coho
I loved the Shatter Me series so much but ironically not the first book Shatter Me like don't get me wrong I LOVED IT but ADAM WAS THERE. I HATE HIM I JUST CAN'T OK. I AM TOO PETTY AND IT WAS PHYSICALLY HARD TO KEEP READING EVERYTIME HE POPPED UP. But other than that I LOVED IT.
im going to cry it deleted my entire comment...
sigh
it was basically comments on opinions in this video : i mostly reread my favorite books due to hyperfixation...
I hate romance so MUCH. Unless it's on the side. like Peridot's crush on Almond in cucumber quest [PLEASE LET ME INFODUMP ABOUT THEM, THEY'RE BOTH GIRLS AND THEY'RE ON OPPOSITE SIDES, PERIDOT IS SILLY YOUNG VILLAIN HENCHMAN [more like daughter] AND ALMOND IS SILLY HERO YOUNGER SISTER.] or Freckle and Ivy dating in Lackdaisy [i also want to infodump about them please]
I'm trying not to infodump rn, it's really hard, please someone let me infodump
I totally agree with the rainbow bookshelf one😭 it's absolutely awful 😭
I love how she defend shatter me.. That's my girl 💅
Lemme just say YOU NEEEED.HAVE TO. READ The silent patient if you havent
SOMEONE DOESNT LIKE OUABH???
-smut in books is unnecessary
(except maybe in dark forbidden romance)
-childhood friends to lovers is boring as hell
-the twisted series was trash
-historical fictions are soo good
-I like miscommunication trope
- grumpy/sunshine makes no sense ( not everyone is grumpy or sunshiny all the time)
-ACOTAR should have been a trilogy
-brothers/sisters falling for the same girl/guy gives me the ick
-wattpad books should stay in wattpad
-dog earing books>>>>>
Book rec for anyone who needs it is wilder girls I’m currently reading it and it’s so good 🤭
Nah re: cracking book spines, I have so much climate anxiety and there is so much over-consumption encouraged on book-social media that I just want all my books to last forever (also I'm a sentimental gal who refuses to get rid of anything) and cracking the spine damages the book and shortens its lifespan uhhh and that is my beef with cracking bookspines. If it happens just from reading, it happens, looks a bit shit but whatever. When I buy second-hand books I don't care if they have cracked spines or nah, but if I have a book that doesn't have a cracked spine, that spine is not (hopefully) getting cracked while the book is in my care x))) I am v v ok with dog-earing though, even if I don't do it myself
But yeah nah long-time "they're like my sibling"-kind of friends to lovers grosses me out lol
I'd LITERALLY rather have 8 toes if i could read the shatter me series for the FIRST TIME!??! no cause what id so rather have 8 toes
Second chance is only okay if they need to break up bcs of college or whatever but not if one of them is cheating or whatever
I hate small age-gaps too when one of the characters is a teenager. Like a 4 year age-gap but it's 16 and 20. It's way too common in YA books.
7:49 i need reccs girlfriend bc i say im an hardcore enemies to lovers in fantasy fan but as of rn it is just in theory bc I haven't read one in a whole minute
1:26 ONG OMG I always feel so bad because I'm just reading 7 books in a month once in a while and some of them are bangers but I can't appreciate them enough bc I'm moving onto my next read very fast. but like there's so much to read and so less time so all I can do is feel guilty about not appreicating books enough 😪
9:03 MOST OF THE TIME I like the pregnancy trope🤫
14:21 omg I always used to lose bookmarks and stuff so I just folded the page or put a pencil in but in middle school my bsf made me this bookmark in a arts and crafts thing during her ENG CLASS and I don't even talk to her anymore since I switched schools but after like 4-5 years I still use the same bookmark like it's genuinely so special to me and i cant imagine using anything else instead of that lol
For enemies to lovers and friends to lovers personally I think enemies to lovers r being overdone now and they are not even written in a way as if they r really enemies they just have one petty reason to always tease each other and they r not even taking it seriously and boom they are dating. Like the only enemies to lover I've ever really loved was Cruel prince like "Tell me you hate me" " I hate you" "and he kisses me harder" like I can actually see that happening. Everything they went through and how they fell in love with it's like they have so many unsaid things to each other and there is misunderstandings and they are too far gone and it's awkward and they can't really tell each other how they feel but they can't resist each other either like kiss already it's obvious enough. And for friends to lovers personally it really depends like I really can't see myself dating a childhood friend unless there was always something unsaid between us. But imagine like you guys are friends and your friend is always there and suddenly they are like I love you and all and then then it's just gets clear they only were friends with you because they had ulterior motives but it's different if they grew into those feeling later tho it can actually be cute.
I am german to and i just cant read any book in english (exept of romance) because i am just really bad in english 😂
i agree with the dog ear one like i don’t want to carry around a book mark everywhere ago plus it’s just more convenient
i read all of my books in english because i just hate reading books in my own language.
9::43 You should see the state of my books, I have a few that are falling apart
7:30 Queen has spoken👑🧎🏽♀️
i enjoy cracking my books spines SO much, especially because i know how much it hurts some people ❤
Not every video from our favourite you tuber is going to be a five star video 😂😂😂lol love this video and your amazing channel ❤❤
it’s opposite for me cuz letters to the lost was like five star read for me whereas call it what you want was like a three star read 😭
The people who does not break their spine does not read like that😂, like why do everyone thinks that how we read 😭
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SOOO MUCH
okay can you guys please give me some enemies to lovers fantasy recs? thank u :)
the first book of shatter me is definitely not that great imo but i love the rest of the series. shatter me as a series is definitely one of my favorite
When I like started my reading era in 2021 I started in German (after a few months I started reading English Duhhh) - I still had a German book I haven’t read back then so I picked it up an read it like in February this year- AND IT HAD SMUT IN GERMAN my soul left my body I was screaming, crying, throwing up and crying like- 😭 Dirty Talk in German is so bad like I can‘t even have dirty talk in German in real life- I physically can‘t stay serious🧍🏻♀️
