Madi, book buying bans are meant to be broken! 🤷🏻‍♀️

Madita has to be the prettiest booktuber there is 😭

Guys we’ve been looking at book buying bans all wrong! Ban stands for “buy amazing novels” so we need to follow the rules!

I've only read 3 of the books in the video but it feels so rewarding that I've read something that madita hasn't 😭😭 idk why

Just to clear some things up, POWERLESS: I am extremely stupid and don’t know why I confused the main character’s name with the name of the kingdom. So sorry for confusing everyone idk what was going on with me that day. I read Percy Jackson when I was younger and loved the books. I mentioned that scene from the movie because of what Medusa says to Percy about Poseidon because when you think about the different versions of the myth, what she says can be understood differently. I know it’s not what the author meant but when you look at that scene in comparison to Medusa’s darker tale, it can feel different. Sorry for the confusion

Buying books while on a book buying ban is such a mood lmao. Happy holidays❤

she just makes every single book sound so interesting that i have to add it to my tbr as soon as i see her with it

girl i absolutely adore your videos it's so fun to watch them

i love book hauls so i can discover new book recs✨🤝

I’m on a book buying ban but people keep asking me what I want for Christmas so I keep saying books 😭 Technically I’m not buying them tho

I recommend "They Both Die at the End" from Adam Silvera. Great heartbreak. :D

one dark window is EASYLY one of the best books i have ever read and now that the second book just came out as well it is even better

11:56 actually in the Greek myths Poseidon never SA’d Medusa, that’s actually Neptune in Roman mythology. And she was born a gorgon along with two sisters, so she’d always been a gorgon. This was what earlier Greek poets described her as like Hesiod, but for some reason later writers changed it.

Girl I'm not even lying I ordered powerless and love redesigned as u were talking about it. You're so convincing

The Medusa book!!!! That sounds so good and I'm literally obsessed with books about Medusa that portray Medusa as a victim and not a villain. I have a semi-traumatic moment about how once in 6th grade my history teacher assigned us a project where we had to write a limerick about the Greek gods. So I wrote a limerick about Medusa and I don't really remember the limerick but it was basically about how Poseidon ignored her vow of celibacy and defiled her and she asked Athena for help (another alternate interpretation). The keywords I used here were celibacy and enticed. My other teacher had thought it was fine so I went to ask my history teacher, and she responded with a big speech about how I was supposedly infatuated with the gods' sex lives, how "did I want first graders asking their parents what celibacy and enticed meant". So I changed my poem and wrote one about Athena that was deemed "acceptable". THIS POEM WAS LITERALLY NEVER SEEN BY ANYONE BUT THE HISTORY TEACHER. WHAT "'FIRST GRADER" SAW MY POEM. Also, I had written the Medusa poem in a very respectful, pg, and vague way to keep it "appropriate". What is so inappropriate about celibacy and "being enticed". Sure enticed *can* have a "sexual" meaning to it, but if a parent were to describe it to a kid *should a kid ask*, they could just say its to be swayed into wanting something with promises. It's not like I had written a graphic poem about how Medusa got raped and killed.

ouabh is my favorite trilogy and honestly you are so INCREDIBLY right medita.

I listen to your videos when I’m cooking or cleaning my room. Your voice is just so motivating and calming 😭❤️

Madita, you are my comfort KZfaqr and one of the few people I trust for book recommendations haha. I hope you know how amazing you are. Happy holidays! ❤

You’re so pretty omg you’re glowinggg❤️❤️

I just started reading A Study in Drowning and I absolutely love it!

the cheerleaders by kara thomas is such a great book!! i love the lead up to the solving of the mysteries! so glad you are going to be reading it

madita is literally such a comfort booktuber

MADITATATATTATTAT I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! Thank you for making them. All the effort that you put into them is appreciated. Love you 🔅🩵

Madita has my love and support ❤️😭 i am new here but just in love with all her videos 😭

Mood instantly higher now that you posted ❤

I can only dream of having this many books 😭 Nevertheless I will continue to dream 👍

SHE POSTED AHHHH

madita you're literally SHINING😭🫶🏼

Madita you're not stupid for making some simple mistakes everyone makes them and learns from them, ily

Always a good day when you upload a video ❤

madi and me 🤝🏻 buying books non stop :)

OMG ONE DARK WINDOW IS EEVVERYYTHINGGGGG !!!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT 😭😭😭

Just FYI the Medusa being the victim is a Roman myth rather than a Greek one. In Greek mythology, she is born as a gorgon and has two gorgon sisters rather than cursed to be one. The reworked myth is by Ovid purposely to frame Athena in a bad light. I read the book and it was good, but as a greek mythology fiend I would to make it clear that its based on Roman myth.

1. I AM SO FREAKING HAPPPYYY THAT YOU FINALLY UPLOADED THIS VIDEO! PLS DO IT MORE OFTEN! 2. I LOOOVEEEE U!!! 3. Pls recommend us some german books (& I can‘t find the mentioned books) 4. I feel like you are going to be very sad in the next months 🙌🏼😂 (because of these books)

madita we NEED another 24 hour read-a-thon!!!

we NEED a magnolia parks read along ( btw the old covers are still going to be acessible in the uk and aus ( i think for aus ) and the 5th one will have an og style cover so yayyy )

One dark window and Stone blind was two of my favorite books last year. I definitely recommend listening to the audiobook for Stone blind. Natalie Haynes reads all her books herself and is amazing.

Your videos make my entire day 🎉❤

crime and punishment is one of my fav books ever i hope you love it!

"and I am very sad all the time" Same girl Same

Recently I have acquired the Once Upon the Broken Heart series!!! Im sooo excited to read them

crime and punishment is actually fairly funny about 200 pages in

Madita, I’m 13 and my sister CANNOT keep buying me books 😭 why did you have to both bless and torture me with this video

comfort person 🤍

Omg if you like that book about Medusa then you should read the book called Medusa! Every time I read a book about her I fall even more in love with her.. She is in fact the definition of feminine rage

This makes me feel better about the massive amount of books I have bought recently 😂❤

I'm late but Powerless is my Favorite book, and Lauren is making a Novella called Powerful that is Adenas point of view. The second book is called Reckless. Powerful: April 30 Reckless: July 4th

My friend and I saw the Moulin Rouge musical in Melbourne, Australia after going to dymocks bookstore right across the theatre, and I picked up Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke, because it looked interesting. But I didn't want to read it anymore once I found All the Lights We Cannot See, so my friend bought me the book she helped me decide on and then I bought her the book she chose (the one I initially mentioned and picked up) after I put the book down. She finished it in the airport and said it was very different to what she was expecting and it was more weird than horror 😂 enjoy though! Love your videos.

Man i loved house of salt and sorrows too ❤❤ soon will read the sequel too

Not me always hoping that maditas has posted a new video when I open KZfaq… love ya pookie

Hi! I'm glad to see that people abroad are into russian classics, so as a russian myself, i highly recommend to read "The Master and Margarita" by M. Bulgakov and "White nights" by F. Dostoyevsky c:

my most recent book purchase was Song of silver, flame like night by Amelie Wen Zhao and I haven't read it yet but its supposed to be a Chinese historical romance with Chinese mythology (THE COVERS ARE SO PRETTY OML)

The cheerleader is one of my favorite thrillers.

Omdssssss powerless is so good

I'm watching this video to make my book wish list and now it's HUGE

if you like female rage and revenge stories i highly recommend goodbye earl by leesa cross-smith - it’s about 4 lifelong female best friends and it has some elements of mystery as well

i’m dying for the love redesigned voice memos

I didn’t realize authors change names of characters in different countries/editions until you started talking about someone named Ilya in Powerless 😂 In the US she’s Paedyn & I was so confused

so much lit fic!!! and han kang and toni morrison!!!!!

I'm currently on a book buying ban because I just bought 7 more books (but they were all second hand) And Madita you're so gorgeous today (and as you always are)

madita posted everyone drop what ure doing and await the chaos

Dreamland billionairs series is one of my fav book series (most fav one :Final offer)❤❤❤

I recently bought Heartstopper vol 5!

I love watching your videos so much, i am wanting to start booktube but i dont know how, do you have any tips?

do you keep track of your physical tbr? i can’t imagine having that many books to read😅💀

21:42 angrboða is a VERY misunderstood and villainized deity so I’m curious as to how the reimagining works out

Madita: I’m trying to get into the Christmas mood. Me: it doesn’t feel like Christmas at all 😭

Have you ever read The Stalking Jack the Ripper series of books by Kerry Maniscalco. I thing you should read it. I just recently came across your KZfaq channel and after listening to you I thought that you would absolutely fall in love with this series of books

hii, does anyone know if a curse for true love (the paperback edition) has the same size as the other two books in the trilogy??

my friend is currently reading “the cheerleaders” and she keeps telling me it’s traumatizing, now I want to read it even more.

hii, can anyone tell me if "redeemed" by lauren asher can be read on its own (without reading the rest of the series)??

can someone tell me where can I get that edition of a curse for true love in the us?

i jsut read crime and punishment, its sooo goooood!!!!

Any book recs ( anyone)? I don’t like romance of fantasy but I like sad books and thrillers and somethings dystopian like divergent soo

MADITAAA!

my latest book haul was The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid and The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith:)

You look so pretty in this video! Buying books after being on a book buying ban is the only way Also I think in Powerless Ileyea (not sure how to spell it) and the MC name is Paedyn

FIRST FINALLY
