@@maditales OMFG YOU PINNED MY COMMENT, this has gotta be the highlight of my whole 2023, ilysmmmm❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ And yes lol I can confirm that it’s a lifestyle, considering that I keep buying books when I have like a million to read 🤣🤣
litterally!!! i saw a video recommending one of these books some weeks ago and i added it to my tbr but everytime i look at it it looks so boring... now after watching this video it sounds like the best book ever
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
I'm a little confused. The only scene I remember from the movie is Medusa saying she dated Poseidon, which is the version Rick Riordan used in Percy Jackson (that the two had been a consensual couple).
@@kittymagica6408yes Medusa didn’t say that Poseidon sa’d her but I was just saying that whenever I watch the movie I can only think about Ovid and her backstory. Not that it’s said in Percy. Just how Medusa is represented in the movie in comparison to how she’s represented in Ovid.
OMG I am so sorry!! In all seriousness this was a joke that was more aimed at people who ACTUALLY havent read the books! I was pretty sure you had! I was just trying to make a joke and the undertone when i said it in my brain was haha hehe sarcastic witty comment 😝Again though so sorry didnt mean to offend!! I love you!! @maditales
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.
technically yes, Ovid wrote that Neptune did that but I've also read some greek translations where medusa not willingly had an affair with poseidon, in school. maybe they were translated wrong but i have definitely read translations that said Poseidon (the greek name) and not Neptune
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.
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
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.
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
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)
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
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:
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.
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
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 )
Madita, you are my comfort CZcamsr and one of the few people I trust for book recommendations haha. I hope you know how amazing you are. Happy holidays! ❤
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.
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)
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)
I read House of Roots and Ruin last month! It was good, a little slow paced compared to House of Salt and Sorrows but still loved it! I rated it 3.75 stars.
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
i just recently purchased Final Offer to complete The Fine Print series by Lauren Asher. I also got The Lord of the Flies by William Golding as well as Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes :)) 35:30
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 CZcams channel and after listening to you I thought that you would absolutely fall in love with this series of books
Hi! My last book purchase was actually „a curse for true love“ (i am crying and sobbing and arghhhhhh) and „caraval“. (both of them from stephanie Garber) i don‘t know about caraval but I WANT TO READ IT OMG anyways liebe Grüsse an MANFRED 💅🏼😌
I WAS SO CONFUSED WHEN U WERE EXPLAINING POWERLESS CAUSE THE FMC WAS NAMED PAEDYN BUY U KEPT SAYING ILYA SO WHEN I CHCEKCED THE BACK OF MY BOOK, I REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS THE NAME OF THE KINGDOM 😭
I was so disappointed by How To Kill your family 😭 it's not a spoil, but she never met those people even if their are related and that just kill the drama 😭
Madi, book buying bans are meant to be broken! 🤷🏻♀️
It’s a lifestyle
@@maditales OMFG YOU PINNED MY COMMENT, this has gotta be the highlight of my whole 2023, ilysmmmm❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And yes lol I can confirm that it’s a lifestyle, considering that I keep buying books when I have like a million to read 🤣🤣
The fact I can't go a month without breaking my book buying ban😩
@@Akari_reads I can’t go two days, so that’s reasonable.
@@bookloverrrr I guess I'll never stop adding books to my never ending tbr
Madita has to be the prettiest booktuber there is 😭
100000000%
Agreed
Straight facts
REAL
Literally agreed she's so so pretty
Guys we’ve been looking at book buying bans all wrong! Ban stands for “buy amazing novels” so we need to follow the rules!
MY NEW FAVORITE COMMENT
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SEEING MY COMMENT, YOU MADE MY WHOLE YEAR!
lol big brain activated 🧐
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
that is the biggest compliment ever thank you so much!!!
litterally!!! i saw a video recommending one of these books some weeks ago and i added it to my tbr but everytime i look at it it looks so boring... now after watching this video it sounds like the best book ever

i was just about to comment to say the characters name is Paedyn lol. Easy mistake
Buying books while on a book buying ban is such a mood lmao. Happy holidays❤
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
girl i absolutely adore your videos it's so fun to watch them
i love book hauls so i can discover new book recs✨🤝

@@maditales it definitely gets confusing with so many translations that all say different things😭
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

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