I got some books and since I haven't made a YouTube video since October I decided to film the unboxing. Even if that meant filming at 1:30AM. So, don't judge my sleepiness too harshly. I apologize that I have no clear thoughts in this video. Probably shouldn't have made it, but I did it anyway so there. You can't stop me! Mwahaha. Do you ever read a non-fiction book and learn something valuable that you then apply to your life? Maybe relaxation techniques, a new hobby, tricks for dealing with anxiety, etc. We all do that, right? That's why we read non-fiction much of the time. Well, I also have some weird habits that I have picked up from fictional books. Particularly books that I obsessed over when I was younger, but they are habits that I still carry with me to this day. Please, enjoy this video all about my embarrassment: With the promise of Sci-Fi goodies and something Lunar Chronicles inspired, I caved and purchased my very first LitJoy Crate box. I really enjoyed this box and would probably rate it a 9/10. My favorite item was definitely the tea cup, but the metal bookmark was a close second! My least favorite was probably the headband, but obviously that is just my personal opinion and it is cute regardless! Box Spoilers:
◘ Book: Ashfall Legacy by Pittacus Lore ◘ Illuminae inspired headband designed by LitJoy Crate ◘ Aurora Rising inspired enamel pin designed by Justelfit ◘ Baby Yoda (Grogu) socks designed by @jscottclawson ◘ Star Trek Communication Badge sticker ◘ Serpent and Dove inspired photo strip bookmark designed by Sarah Conradsen ◘ Doctor Who light pen ◘ Guardians of the Galaxy inspired pouch ◘ Lunar Chronicles Cress inspired bookmark designed by @thenameisjules ◘ Stalking Jack the Ripper inspired tea cup and saucer designed by Naira Peredo Yeah, the title of this post pretty much sums it up. My TikTok username is @corgisfield if you feel inclined to check out the rather granny-ish content I post. Enjoy! Cottagecore is a popular aesthetic that I adore. I thought it might be fun to show you a few books that can fit into this style in case you were looking for any fun books to read as you picnic by a stream after frolicking through a flower-filled meadow! I know what you're thinking. You're thinking "Corrie, isn't this website primarily for reviewing books? Why the heck are you making so many sub par YouTube videos? And why haven't you reviewed any books in so long? Huh? Huh? You think I come here to hear you say 'and then' and 'but anyways' and 'regardless' twenty times per video? I do not!" And to that I say... it takes me a lot less time to film a video than it does to read a book these days, but I promise I'm working on it! By working on it I mean that I am reading a book currently that falls into the usual parameters for a book that I would review (meaning it isn't a graphic novel or classic or a nonfiction book). So hopefully soon you'll have an honest to goodness book review again. But in the meantime, here is another video that I had a lot of fun making: You know, they're called book tags because people are supposed to tag you to do them... but that hasn't stopped me yet! Most of my BookTube content is probably going to be tags because I'm literally just doing this to have a good time and that's what I think of as fun so... they say to cater to your audience and I am the majority of my audience. Basically, I DO WHAT I WANT MWAHAHAHA. Anywhoozle... I have just finished filming another fun BookTube video, feel free to check it out! :) At the request of a good friend (hi friend!), I am doing a bookshelf tour! Hopefully, this is less cringey than the first video I made on this channel where I also did a bookshelf tour, but I'm sure it will become more cringe with time. My videos and some of my writing seem to age like milk in the hot sun. :P Regardless! I hope you enjoy this video and seeing my shelves set up at my new place. I certainly had a lot of fun filming this! So I could get the many book tags of the 2010's era off of my chest, I decided to combine them all into one video! Now Corrie from 2016 can finally be happy. Corrie from 2021 is pretty pleased with the result too. Enjoy if you want to spend 14 minutes and 53 seconds of your life watching me say "um" and "but anyways" and "for that I went with". |
