reacting to unpopular book opinions 

i love the fact that books give you sooo many topics to debate >>>>

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 DESPISEEEE dark romance; it’s usually just a romanticisation of abuse/toxic relationships, stalking & SA

People hate the miscommunication trope bc it’s the most realistic

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO USES THEIR PHONE AS "bookmarks"

I thought I was the only one that loved friends to lovers more than enemies to lovers🙏🏼😭

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

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

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😅

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*

- 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

Can we talk about how pretty she is looking. Short hairs are looking so good on her ❤.

crying over books just hits different

AHH MADITA UPLOADED (I have to study but priorities!!)

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. 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚

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.

Kenji Kishimoto is %10000 the best character in the Shatter Me books. Period.

I love watching people freak out when you crack your book spines 😂

The enemies to lovers imagination is so true 😂 especially the knife to throat one 🤣❤️

21:26 so true (thriller is the only acceptable genre in german) also the acting performance >>

im having an emotional and stressful day but I know this video is gonna make feel so much better. thank you madita❤

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

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 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

Excited for this one because Madita is always right 😏

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

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

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 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

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💀💀

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

what you said about FOUND FAMILY... I COMPLETELY AGREE. FOUND FAMILY FOREVER FFF>>>>>>>> love you!! 💗🫶

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO SOOO MUCH

madi talking about bookmarks: "you will lose them!".... no madi YOU will lose them #ilovebookmarks

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

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

11:21 OH MY GOD THAT IS SO ME!!! THIS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I WATCH A SERIES OR A DRAMA 😂

11:20 Me when the characters get together and I'm not interested in their story anymore

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

the color of your sweater fits you so perfectly❤

"I love The Maze Runner movies, I HATE the books" so true.

I’m so excited for this because I have so many unpopular opinions

LITERALLY! Breaking book spines>>>

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

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

I literally agreed with everything you said except breaking the spine , so far I cant bring myself to do it 😂

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 😂

I love watching your videos! this one was so funny💚

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

I like how you talk about shatter me!! I love it too!!! Its always in my mind and i love Aaron and Julliete!!

I love how she defend shatter me.. That's my girl 💅

0:40 I almost cry when I accidentally crack the spine

The last hundred pages of a book is what gonna make me either love a book or hate it

Not every video from our favourite you tuber is going to be a five star video 😂😂😂lol love this video and your amazing channel ❤❤

AAA OUR QUEEN IS BACK🙏🏻

Do I always like Madita's videos before I watch them , yes of course I do .

not the fork as a bookmark lmfaooooo

MADITA UPLOADED! BEST DAY EVER

We need a video where you organize your bookshelves in rainbow colors

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.

i enjoy cracking my books spines SO much, especially because i know how much it hurts some people ❤

I 100% agree with the modern social media references. I think I would only slightly slow twitter but not when it’s the Character

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 😭

OMG SOMEONE WHO HAS READ TYE FD SERIES OMG THATS MY FAV SERIES TO EVER EXIST OMLLLL

Yes, Shatter Me is LIFE 💪 EDIT: HOW TF COULD YOU NOT LIKE SHATTER ME😭

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.

3:00 So very true. Some of my favourites let me down by creating something terrible. It took you 6 months to a year to produce this....why? Especially when it is a series, it can be quite painful.

13:58 I love this, I work for myself so I am busy all day and can only for 2-3 hours a night, meaning I only read 8 books a month

Could you please tell us a few recommendation for this kind of enemys so lovers trope in Fantasy? (Sorry für The english (also deutsch 😅))

A weird thing I do is that sometimes I don't read the last book of a series for a month or so. It's so weird I don't know why I do that. It just happens like I'm reading the second book and before I read the last one I read another one and then I can't stop reading other books

i love your videosss ❤

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)

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.

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 🤷‍♀️

Book rec for anyone who needs it is wilder girls I’m currently reading it and it’s so good 🤭

I love your videos!

was waiting for this

9::43 You should see the state of my books, I have a few that are falling apart

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

I feel the same way about the acotar trilogy as you do for shatter me series. No one can make me dislike the book or the characters no matter how controversial and polarised the opinions are.

I totally agree with the rainbow bookshelf one😭 it's absolutely awful 😭

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.

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

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

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

You look so prettyyy

Maybe more like rivals to lovers in romance books, instead of enemies (especially in college/uni/school books...so delicious)

11:20 HAHAHAHA I have to laugh bc same…sometimes im just not bothered to finish the book 😭 & not always is it like a dnf bc i didnt like it or was bored etc etc. like sometimes i just don’t go back to the book 💀 Edit: i also never use book marks…i just remember the page number or chapter 💀

Madita, have you read "A very large expanse if sea" by Tahereh Mafi?

8:37 I have a couple of shelf’s I have series selfs and sand alone books so they can be in rainbow order

I love the upside of falling omg

Madita, please recs some good second chance romances 😙😙

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🧍🏻‍♀️

7:30 Queen has spoken👑🧎🏽‍♀️

I was reading shatter me but I got bored on the second book 😭Should I try and continue reading??

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.

All of my hardcover books dont have a dust jacket, but they just have a hardcover. and i like them more because you can open them more easyli

15:41 I love how the book tittle is what she is talking about. Again but better.

I feaken loved this video🙃😄😂
