Hello, everybody! Today I have another album unboxing for you guys! How surprising. BUT. At least this one will be a bit longer of a post. I don't know what self control is so I bought four versions of the same album because that's all that I know how to do, buy all versions of things and not regret anything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ANYWAY, Let's get this album unboxing started because oh, boy, there's kind of a lot.</div>

So this is the quick overview of the four albums I pre-ordered from <a href="https://choicemusicla.com/" target="_blank">Choice Music LA</a>! I've never ordered anything from them in the past but I've always heard fabulous reviews about their service and fast shipping for albums so I decided to pre-ordered my albums through them. And I'm so happy with how quickly I received my albums! As a small sneak peek, I also pre-ordered two more albums from them since receiving these babies in the mail so that unboxing will be coming up soon!</div>

So first we'll be starting off with the 'Y' version of BTS's new album, "Love Yourself: Tear"! I'm so excited about this album, y'all, you have no idea. I freaking loved the first installment of this album series so this one I was so excited for. Anyhoo, let's jump right in.</div>

I love the selected saturated colors that this photo concept had and how pretty the sunset scenes were. It was really relaxing so I'm a fan of it. Also, can we talk about that group photo? Like, yes, friendship goals. </div>

Now onto the next version! This one is the 'O' version and yes, the designs look similar but it's different, OKAY. Anyway, this is the photocard I got with this version of the album and it makes me so happy to slowly see my photocard collection of BTS growing bit by bit. </div>

Maybe? I personally just love black and white photos so this concept was right up my alley. Plus, the pops of colors from the colored photos sprinkled throughout was a nice touch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And once again, that group photo though. LIKE, UM YES. </div>

Now, we have the third version of this album, the 'U' version. Okay, so, this is the photocard and though it's not of my bias wrecker . . . I was SO HAPPY. It's so pretty, oh my goodness, I could stare at it for hours.</div>

You cannot convince me otherwise, THEY LOOK SO PRETTY *cries in corner*. Now this photobook I looked it very closely and methodically. Took my time, stared lovingly. Okay moving on.</div>

Maybe even my top one. Now this one I also took my time looking through, mainly of my bias but that's not the point. I looked through all of them just as lovingly . . . I just took a little more time looking through the photos of my bias. That's all I'm saying. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And now for some of the freebies I received from Choice Music LA! I'm assuming this was a gift for having pre-ordered the albums through them and I was pleasantly surprised! I got these lovely four postcard size photo cards and I LOVE THEM! The paper is cardstock and it has such a nice rough texture to it, I just love them and am so happy that they're a part of my collection now!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And lastly, there are these freebie photo cards I got as well! They're just a tiny bit smaller than the photocards I got with the albums but they're made of the same cardstock paper which is lovely. Each photocard is from one of the different concepts so that was also nice, very nice!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also got these really cool standing photo cards with each album! I don't exactly need four of them but I mean, if I lose one or damage one, I have back-ups right?</div>

Lastly, here are the posters from each album concept! I wasn't really sure if all the posters I received were gonna be different or the same but I'm happy I got all four. Not that I hang my posters, goodness knows I have so many already, but they're nice to have I guess!</div>

Here we have probably the happiest looking album that has ever existed. I mean look at it, you can't NOT feel happy just looking at. I freaking love how bright and happy this album is on the outside so I was pretty darn excited to open everything up to see just what it contained.</div>

One is blue, another is pink and the last is a bright happy yellow.<br /><br />I was a little shook by having three things to look through so it took me a minute to actually comprehend it. SO. Sorry, but my baby brain couldn't function with that.</div>

OKAY, so here is a better and up close view of the photo books. I seriously love how cute everything was, like OMG. The three photo books had different images on the covers and personally, I have to say the cover image for the pink photo book is my favorite. I just want to squeeze them in a big, warm hug! It's also nice that they were numbered on the back even though I don't think I looked through them in that order, but moving on.</div>

Here we have the hot pink photo book that just has a bunch of cute pictures of the group which was really fun for me to look through. I definitely loved this cute group photo in the book the most but all the pictures were really nice and happy and made me feel good inside.</div>

This one is filled with single shots of the members and is just as cute as the other two photo books!<br /><br />It did hurt my eyes a tiny bit because of the bright yellow color but apart from that, it was an adorable photo book to flip through and once again, was adorable. This entire concept is just too freaking cute. You probably get the point by now so let's just leave it at that.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And lastly, THE PHOTO CARDS! I was SO happy to have gotten a postcard of my second favorite member and, of course, a photo card of my bias! The images are just SO CUTE, I'm crying *sobs in the corner*. I left the post card inside the album for safe keeping as I don't have any page sleeves to put in my photo card binder for my larger photo cards so maybe one of these days, I'll get some two-pocket sleeves for my larger photo cards and postcards to put in my binder. This album also didn't come with a poster so that's all I have for you guys today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I don't know who I am anymore.<br /><br />And can we just talk about the spine on this thing? Like, how does it look so cool? It's literally just the spine of the album and yet it still looked so cool!</div>

And now here is the inside of the album. The picture on the furthest right is the cover for their photobook inside the album, the middle picture is simply just a close up picture of the photobook, and the last picture is just a picture of the CD. I really loved the packaging of this album, I feel like their albums always have such cool concepts and designs. I think one of the main reasons why I love their music and concepts is how much of an edgy/sci-fi style they have. It just speaks to me.</div>

These are the goodies that came in the album! There were four photo cards inside, folded nice and neat inside this little folded up poster, and lastly, a single photocard of one of the members! I really love how this poster looks and I'm kind of tempted to hang it up on my wall. But, let's move onto the photocards because I was really excited to have gotten the ones I got.</div>

They're just so adorable I couldn't handle myself when I got them. Yet more photocards to add to my collection!</div>

And this one is the little single photo card that came in the album as well. On the back it has this really cool design. I'm not really sure what the little clock means or if any of the clocks are suppose to mean something but I was loving how cool everything was. You're actually suppose to pop out the little photocard in the middle but I freaking love how it looks as one big photocard so I'm not going to do that. I was happy when I got my bias wrecker to be honest! I wasn't even mad. Nope, not one bit!</div>

I've purchased albums from them before and have received sticker sheets and bonus cards before as little freebies so I was very happy to have gotten these as well. They're both group pictures and are also little gift tags! I have a few of these for other groups so I was happy to get more, even though I'll probably never actually use them.</div>

And here is a little sneak peak into the photobook inside the album! I really loved this concept for their new album and I will hopefully be able to buy the other three versions of the album. I know that's a bit excessive but I haven't yet decided. I do have plenty of other albums I want to get my hands on so for now, we're going to just play it by ear and see what happens.</div>

And FINALLY, THE POSTER!! This is hands down my favorite poster I have of Monsta X so far! It's just so aesthetically pleasing and again, I kind of want to hang this one up on my wall even though I don't like posters. I just can't decide and need help, obviously. Anyhoo, that's everything that came with the album!</div>

I'm going to be attending their concert this JULY!!!!! I literally couldn't be more excited!! I decided last minute to try getting tickets to the concert and I was so happy that there were still a few available and I was able to purchase mine quickly and easily! I'm so happy to be going and of course, I'm going to write a post on everything including pictures, video, and whatever else I can think of once the concert comes around. I'm seriously so excited for July!</div>

HELLO, WORLD!! I'm here today with another album unboxing for you guys and boy is it out of order. As you can tell by the title of the post, this is the final chapter in this album series. Sorry, but I'm working my way backwards from here. You know, like how you start with dessert first and then the actual meal. Same concept. DON'T QUESTION ME.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So here is a quick little overview of the album having been freshly opened from it's sealed packaging! The box is actually SO PRETTY it made me want to cry. I'm not a fan of pink but OMG was this beautiful! This album came with quite a lot of stuff which makes me very, very happy and excited to show you guys pictures of everything. Okay, I can't contain my excitement any more, let's move on!</div>

I can't understand ANY OF IT but I'm sure it's great.</div>
<br />
The CD is also SO PRETTY and I just can't anymore with the packaging. This album if probably the prettiest album I've ever unboxed and that's saying something because I feel like I've unboxed quite a few pretty ones already. Not to mention one the ones I've opened in the past had a holographic cover front and back, you can't get any prettier than that but I think this one is an exception.<br />

Here's a picture of the little photo cards and extra goodies the album came with. One of the cards has a little message written on the back along with the nice detail of the albums listed in order for the album series in the upper left corner. The album also came with two more photo cards of two of the members, one being see through which is really neat and also came with two stickers! It's not every day I get stickers in albums and I've only ever gotten two sticker sheets with albums so this really made me happy having one group sticker and two group logo stickers. I plan on either sticking them to a phone case or sticking them onto my laptop, I haven't decided yet.</div>

Okay, now for the main photo cards. The photo cards are actually really big, about 6 X 8 inches and are double-sided. I seriously love these photo cards so much and they're definitely my favorite set that I've received so far. Not to mention there are so many of them so that also makes me a very happy human bean.</div>

Sadly, this album didn't come with a poster but I'm honestly not that mad about it. It's not like I need yet another poster that I'm just going to put in a box and forget about. Though it still makes me a tiny bit sad . . .</div>

Hello, everybody! I'm back here today with a bit of a different post this week because, well, I'm still in a huge reading slump and I cannot get myself to sit down and read a book without getting bored five minutes in. SOMEONE SEND HELP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, allow me to put a little bit of a backstory to this weird idea that I decided to make an entire post for. Here we go. SO. A couple of weeks ago, I was looking through Pinterest for some outfit ideas as I'm very much into street fashion and urban looks, you know, the distressed jeans with bomber jackets, hightops, graphic tees, etc. I've been into that style for a long while now and I love seeing how other people style their pieces since often times they're looks I never would have thought to pair together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kept seeing outfits popping up inspired by various KPOP Idols from everyday looks all the way to recreations of looks from the actual music videos. I thought it was pretty cool to see how other people recreated these looks and since I get a lot of inspiration for my outfits from k-fashion trends and various music videos, I thought it would be tons of fun to try recreating these looks myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was pretty easy to decide which group to try drawing inspiration from but I didn't realize going into this thing that it would actually require kind of a lot of planning, especially since the week that I started this experiment, the weather was a different season EVERY SINGLE DAY. You have no idea. I woke up to 80 degree weather one day and the next it was below freezing. Literally not lying, that actually happened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be going through the whole process as I go for each of the outfits that I recreated so let's get right into this post before I ramble on too much. Here is what I wore . . .</div>

<br />
So this was the first outfit of the week and it was one that I was most excited for at first. When I first decided to start recreating these outfits, this was the first one that popped into my head. I feel like the street/hip-hop fashion is totally up my ally style wise as it's just a very fun and edgy look and it allows a lot of creativity with not only the pieces you pair together but also the accessories. I have quite a few necklaces and rings and ear cuffs and whatnot in my arsenal but the main thing that I thought about when putting this outfit together was "How can I make this look stand out?" The military patterned jacket was already a subtle eye-catcher but I wanted something just a little bit more to really finish off the look and make it kind of obvious.<br />
<br />
I went back and watched the music video, focusing the most on Suga, obviously, and realized that I had left out the most important piece of the outfit which was the bandanna. I personally LOVE bandannas and recently have been loving how trendy they've been. I was able to find my bright red one that was stuffed into my box of rings and once adding that into the mix, I felt like the outfit was more credible and felt complete. It was pretty easy recreating this outfit as I had everything I needed already in my closet, which is listed down below!</div>

<br />
The next day was a bit cooler as we had a small cold front roll in due to a couple of storms and since I miss fall weather so much, I welcomed it with open arms!<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, this day I was feeling a bit lazy but alas, I still had this project to complete. This was one of the outfits that I thought about a little more when it came to planning and also when would be the best time to wear it.<br />
<br />
One thing I really loved about this outfit was that it's made completely out of basics. I didn't have to buy anything for this outfit and actually wore more jewelry than I usually do just to add a little more to the look. It was really comfortable yet still stylish and really easy to throw together. I would have loved if my denim jacket was a little darker like the one V wears in the music for "Fire" but other than that, I would say this outfit was also very successful.<br />

<br />
Okay, this one was hands-down the most comfortable. I literally didn't want to take it off.<br />
<br />
It was still a little bit cool outside but nothing too crazy so I think this one turned out quite nicely when it comes to the weather.<br />
<br />
This outfit is also pretty basic but the main thing I had trouble with was the jacket. I have pretty plain colored or basic jackets in my closet and none of them are patterned. I thought about looking for a dark grey denim jacket at the thrift store and simply just painting on starts all over it like the one J-Hope wears in the music video, but I was having no luck finding one in my size. I have to be careful with jackets since I'm short and petite, a medium can easily look like an extra-large on me. I normally love my jackets just slightly big to allow some layering room but all the jackets I was finding were all way too big. I stumbled across this really cool windbreaker, however, and besides actually needing one for the rainy season, I kind of thought it would be a good substitute for the all-over-star pattern. Yes, mine is a galaxy print, but it was along the same lines so I decided to just try it out and see how it went. I added a few accessories, a pair of Nike's and BAM, the outfit was complete. Not the closest resemblance but I think I did pretty good, if I don't say so myself! Total, I spent $10 on this outfit which was the cost of the windbreaker.<br />

<br />
OKAY, this one brought me all the way back to my punk/emo phase. Because mine was hardcore back in 2014, let me tell you. In fact, I don't know if I've ever left that phase . . .<br />
<br />
ANYWAY. I was SUPER excited to wear this outfit! I was a bit shocked at how easy it was for me to put this look together as I thought I was definitely going to have to do some shopping in order to find most of the pieces for this outfit. This actually wasn't the first look I had planned on going for initially. I knew I wanted to recreate a look from the "Danger" music video for Jimin but I was actually looking at recreating a different one. Until I ran into the problem of me not owning a couple of the key pieces. They would have been super easy to find at a thrift store but then a different look caught my attention. AND HERE WE ARE.<br />
<br />
Another thing I had a bit a trouble with figuring out was the hand bracelet I decided to wear in the end. The skull hand bracelet is surprisingly seen in a handful of music videos on multiple members of BTS, so when it came to the bracelet, I wasn't sure which outfit to wear it with. Also, for this look, in some of the concept photos from a photo-shoot for the "Dark and Wild" album, Jimin is actually wearing a skull finger hand bracelet, though he's not seen wearing it in the music video. It was a bit of a struggle for me to figure out if I should wear it or not, but ultimately, I decided to just wear it since it does go with the outfit as a whole and it does seem to be an earlier staple piece of jewelry for the group.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />
Okay, this one was probably the outfit I was the MOST EXCITED to wear. I had too much fun trying to perfect this outfit and I'm really happy with how it turned out in the end!<br />
<br />
When I started planning out my outfits for the week, this was literally the first outfit that popped into my head that I knew I wanted to recreate at all costs. Like, it needed to happen. It was too perfect.<br />
<br />
I think RM has THE COOLEST outfits for most of the music videos so his was one that I REALLY wanted to create perfectly. The only issue I had with creating this one was simply that I didn't have that deep red pair of pants that he wears in the music video for "Not Today". I tried looking around at stores for a pair but I guess that color isn't really in demand right now as all I could find were bright red or too dark a red for the pants. I thought of other ways I could include some sort of red color into the outfit and thought the easiest way would be to just put on a pair of red shoes.<br />
<br />
Another thing I had to think about was the jacket. I didn't own a black bomber jacket or a black windbreaker and I wanted to stay as close as possible to the original outfit and I didn't think my black pleather jacket would look right. SO. The hunt began for a black bomber jacket that was as close as possible to the one RM wore in the video. I thought I was going to have to search long and hard for this jacket, go to Narnia, maybe climb a few mountains . . . then the first store I walked into I ended up finding almost the EXACT same looking jacket within five-minutes. IT WAS FATE, Y'ALL. Total, I spent only $16 dollars for this outfit, and that was just the cost of the jacket.<br />

<b>DAY 6</b>: Jungkook- DANGER</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
BOY, did this outfit take me down memory lane just like the last one. I was pretty emo/punk when I was 15-16, not gonna lie. I had the scene hair, the full bangs, wore the coal black eyeliner ALL THE WAY AROUND my eyes, died my hair jet black, only wore black clothes and listened exclusively to Evanescence and Paramore along with some other punk bands . . . it was a beautiful time.<br />
<br />
So when I saw this outfit in the "Danger" music video while researching Jimin's outfits, I knew this was the one. It was hilarious to me how I had literally EVERYTHING I needed for this outfit already in my closet and were also things that I often reached for, though I never thought to wear them all together. I was totally taken aback and realized that maybe I'm still just a tad bit in my emo phase even though I've broadened my fashion choices and music options. This outfit still reminded me of when I was 15 and now I really wish I could relive it. They were good times.<br />

<b>DAY 7</b>: JIN- NOT TODAY</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And now, the very last outfit. I was pretty sad when I had to put this one on since I knew this marked the end of the outfit week. *Sniff sniff*<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, this outfit was also pretty basic and I loved being able to have the chance to bring back my black windbreaker since I freaking love that thing now!<br />
<br />
The only problem I had for this outfit was the shirt I wore. In the music video for "Not Today", Jin actually wears a striped black and red tee and what looks to be either dark grey or black converse high-tops. I don't actually have a pair of high-top converse in that color so I substituted them for a pair of simple dark grey high-tops which actually come across nicely. The shirt however, I had no luck with finding anything that even remotely resembled the original.<br />
<br />
I did, however, have this black and red flannel that I thought could work but I wasn't really sure at first. I decided to at least try it out since I couldn't really think of any other outfits that I wanted to recreate from Jin, other than his outfit from "Blood, Sweat and Tears" but that was going to be pretty tricky. In the end, it actually doesn't look that bad and resembles it close enough in my mind.<br />

So, that's it for this post! I really hope you guys had a good time reading this and hopefully maybe had fun with it? I had a really fun time recreating all these outfits and I'm thinking of doing it again but with other groups. I already have a few ideas in mind for which outfits to recreate and am currently working on getting some of the items I'll need that I don't currently have. Let me know if you want to see more! I'll probably end up doing it anyways, but I would LOVE to have any input!<br />
<br />
Until next time, my friends! See you in the next chapter!<br />

HELLO, EVERYBODY!! I hope everyone had a great weekend this time around and hopefully you got some things done and delivered. Anyhoo, I'm really excited to come to you guys today with a new album unboxing post! I don't think I'll ever get tired of these to be honest, I just love writing them and can't wait to finish writing my next one!<br />
<br />
For those of you who maybe probably aren't all that curious about these unboxings, feel free to check out my backlog of book reviews I have posted! I'm currently in a HUGE reading slump so that's why I've been lacking on the book reviews so far this year. I just don't know how to come out of it but I'm hoping it will be soon, I have so many books I want to read and so little time.<br />
<br />
SEND HELP.<br />
<br />
Anyway, let's jump right into this post now shall we?<br />

So this unboxing is obviously for GOT7's newest album "Eyes On You" which is actually SO AMAZING OMG. Here is a quick overlook of the album straight out of the packaging and I'm so happy with the version I got in the mail! I was actually hoping for the "You" version of this album since I decided to pre-order the random choice option for the album but upon receiving the "Eyes" version I realized I like this version a lot better. So that worked out nicely now didn't it?</div>

Here are a few pictures of the album dust cover. It felt very much like a Morgan Matson book in which the dust cover had a secret poster on the back. I actually freaked out when I opened the dust cover because I didn't know it would have something on the inside of it. I just wanted to see what the naked cover looked like so I was pleasantly surprised. </div>

Here are a few pictures of the photo cards as well as the backs of them. It was so cute how some of the photo cards were actually little gift tags! I feel like I would probably use these if I had friends who loved this group as much as I did but since I don't have friends that listen to kpop (though they actually told me they REALLY want to get into in, fam I'm crying) so I'll be saving these photo cards for me, myself and I. Because, I mean, look at them. My heart fluttered, y'all. FLUTTERED.</div>

It's quite a nice size for a poster and I actually kind of want to hang it up on my wall. Even though I feel like a creeper with posters on the wall. Anyway, moving on.<br /><br />As you can see, I also received quite a few sheets of various stickers of the group and the members form various concepts for photo shoots and albums. I thought they were so cute! I can't wait to use them to make some phone skins and maybe stick them onto my laptop or something. I don't know, we'll see what I decide on.</div>

And now let's take a closer 'look' into the photo album. I have to say, this is probably in my top three of my favorite concepts for albums from this group. I love the chill and somewhat moody and relaxed concept for this album and I loved looking through it. I swear these kpop albums are just the perfect coffee table books, they are so aesthetically pleasing in so many ways. And I'm not just saying that because of the visuals. The visuals are strong with this group.</div>

And now onto the 'Look Book' that came with the album. It's a pretty simple photo book with just various pictures of the group. It also had a cute little photobooth-style row of pictures that would actually make a cute bookmark. I personally love the last picture in this photo book, they just look so happy! It also had a little code right underneath the picture to access a special dance practice video for their album single "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS0LCjOiIhc" target="_blank">Look</a>" which I'm very excited to watch.</div>

To rewind a bit, these are some pictures from the actual album book. I could've easily moved this picture up in the post so as not to make an awkward jump back to the beginning but quite honestly I'm just too lazy and I don't want to mess with the layout of this post. SO ENJOY.</div>

But for now, I'm just going to stare at my shelves like a normal person. Duh.<br /></div>

Hello, everybody! Today I have a fun little project for you guys! I've recently been busy cleaning up my room and doing multiple deep cleans of my closet, my drawers, all the way down to my bookshelves and just getting my room in order to clean out all the gunk. I've also been busy looking for different ways of getting my things more organized and out of the way. I plan on writing a post about that so please stay tuned as I will let y'all know when that post goes up, but anyway, I recently made this little doodad that I thought some people might be interested in making for themselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been wanting a phone stand for my phone for the longest time but I could never find one I liked. All the phone stands actually looked like phone stands. I know that sounds weird like "Duh, it's a phone stand, why wouldn't it look like one?" But I have this issue of wanting literally EVERYTHING to be personalized to me. What can I say? I surf a different wave length. SUE ME. Anyhoo, I thought I should just make my own phone stand and while cleaning out on of my craft drawers, it was like all the supplies just appeared out of nowhere and the idea in my noggin sprouted. This is the result.</div>

The first thing I did to start off making my phone stand was cutting along one of the long edges of the box to open it up. To be honest, I had no idea what I was planning on doing to create the kind of phone stand I had in mind but as I went about trying to make the stand, I found it was actually pretty simple.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F34JHL_n7NI/WraPzmm5EpI/AAAAAAAANnw/jc-KKItLEPkY3pkkhJbIhhpBlFm-tSjxQCLcBGAs/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1600" height="227" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-F34JHL_n7NI/WraPzmm5EpI/AAAAAAAANnw/jc-KKItLEPkY3pkkhJbIhhpBlFm-tSjxQCLcBGAs/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next thing I did was I folded down one of the wider sides until the edge met with the inner crease of the box, leaving one of the sides folded out and I taped down the edge. I then folded the left out flap three times to create creases before folding the flap up to create the shape of a triangle, the edge meeting with the inner crease and the edge of the wide flap that I had just taped down. I taped down the smaller flap, creating the look of two triangles taped together.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Simple right? I really hoped those previous steps made sense. Once you have the base complete you can stop here or move on to decorating the stand to make it more personalized. For me, I took some scrapbook paper and glued the pieces down to the front and back side of the stand. I left the smaller edge black because I liked the contrast between it and the patterned paper but you can obviously cover it up as well or paint the whole thing. I didn't bother decorating the bottom of the stand since you won't be able to see it anyway but go ahead and decorate it too if you like. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AkozlCk0CCY/WraTLc-KOfI/AAAAAAAANoM/BxQhCLGza3AkatCVscTldIVP8Klp-26eACLcBGAs/s1600/PicMonkey%2BCollage3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="1600" height="228" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AkozlCk0CCY/WraTLc-KOfI/AAAAAAAANoM/BxQhCLGza3AkatCVscTldIVP8Klp-26eACLcBGAs/s640/PicMonkey%2BCollage3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After gluing down all the paper, I took a postcard of one of my favorite music artists and glued it down in an overhanging position. I thought it looked cool having some of the paper peeking through and having the postcard hanging over the edge a bit. I also placed my phone on the stand once I had glued down everything and thought that the phone rested just a little bit too low for my personal liking. I wanted my phone to rest more at an angle. I decided to use a phone ring stand I had picked up at Target a few months back that I just never ended up using. I placed it to where it wouldn't obscure much of the postcard and found the ring lifted up the phone just perfectly!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7pnh6sGh-9g/WraUsVMC3rI/AAAAAAAANoY/hnms1phU9WwCo8Dg7w7zbESr92bM5SlyACLcBGAs/s1600/20180320_200713-01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1595" data-original-width="1600" height="319" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7pnh6sGh-9g/WraUsVMC3rI/AAAAAAAANoY/hnms1phU9WwCo8Dg7w7zbESr92bM5SlyACLcBGAs/s320/20180320_200713-01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what my phone looks like resting on the stand. I had played with the idea beforehand of using the phone ring to prop up my phone a bit so that's why all of a sudden the decorative paper is gone. BOOM, MAGIC. I also had to edit my phone into the picture since I use my phone to take pictures and just having the phone case resting on the phone stand looked a bit weird. ANYHOO, I'm transparent, you get the idea. Enjoy my home screen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2T17pa6qHIc/WraVl-sEI0I/AAAAAAAANog/__nT4HmRjoUeVX7dSMCBqf84rEwazx_sACLcBGAs/s1600/20180320_213142-01.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="1600" height="220" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2T17pa6qHIc/WraVl-sEI0I/AAAAAAAANog/__nT4HmRjoUeVX7dSMCBqf84rEwazx_sACLcBGAs/s320/20180320_213142-01.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is the finished phone stand! I decided to also add the band logo to make it a bit more obvious as to who all the people were in the postcard. I love having this on my desk to be able to rest my phone on if I don't need to have it next to me. I also put some poster putty on the bottom of the stand to keep it from sliding but you can also use tape if you don't have any putty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that is it for this little mini DIY! I hope some of you were inspired to make a phone stand of your own like this or were simply inspired to maybe look around your room for things you could potentially turn into something else. I plan on using some of the leftover space of my phone stand to place a pad of sticky notes should I need to jot something down real quick or you could even place a mini month calendar, the possibilities are endless. Again, I really hope you guys enjoyed so until next time, read on bookworms! See you in the next chapter!</div>

Hello, everybody! I hope those of you in school are having a fun and exciting Spring break! It's been pretty busy for me these past few days as I've been dealing with A LOT more customers at work taking advantage of their Spring break to do a little shopping. One of these days I should write a whole post about what it's like to work in retail during holidays and school break because YOWZA, it's a doozy. ANYHOO, today I thought I'd put together a fun little post for you guys on what is in my backpack! You know, totally basic, not at all original.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And yes, you read that right, I'm doing a "what's in my BACKPACK" post. I've become addicted to carrying my backpack around because it's such a perfect size for me and holds just the right amount of stuff while providing a lot of room should I need to stuff a bunch of unnecessary crap inside. I'm not against purses, I have quite a few of them and have some new ones I really want to carry around but I just can't get over how much my backpack makes me happy. It's the kind of bag I can just literally grab and go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, let's get this post started shall we? I quite like seeing what other people carry in their bags and purses as I think it gives a nice insight to what kind of person you are. Is that a little emo of me? Yes? Maybe? Whatever, I'm a self-titled emo bunny. LET'S MOVE ON.</div>

Behold, my backpack. Isn't it pretty? I obviously had to have my Hatsune Miku keychain hooked to the front. I've yet to carry a purse without it on so it's here to stay. Maybe the little bear plushie is a bit much but who cares, it's my backpack and it makes me happy on the inside.</div>

First up, we have my wallet and checkbook. Duh. I seriously am obsessed with my wallet since once again, it's just the perfect size for me. It's also oddly such a satisfying thing to hold in my hand. The material is a soft leather and oddly enough, my phone fits perfectly in the bill holder. So if I ever get lazy and don't feel like carrying my phone AND my wallet, problem solved. Yes, I'm weird, let's move on.</div>

I also like to carry around a little travel sketchbook should I find myself having to jot down a quick note or need to kill time my sketching something. I like to sketch with a ballpoint pen I keep in my checkbook and the little travel sketchbook is a great size for really any purse. I don't really ever reach for it if I'm out and about but I like having it with me just in case.</div>

Of course, I have to carry a couple of makeup products since I don't like carrying an actual make-up bag with me. I've tried to carry one in the past but noticed I literally NEVER reached for it nor needed it at any point in my day. It only ever got in the way so I decided long ago not to carry it anymore. I do, however, like to carry a couple of things that I think are the most needed which is lip-gloss and lip balm. And maybe some tic-tacs that I don't actually care for but I have it just in case. </div>

Okay, now THIS is probably my most important item I carry next to my earbuds, which is my spearmint gum. I freaking love spearmint gum and go through packs of this every month. I usually buy the five packs so I don't really have to worry about running out. I know, it's kind of an addiction at this point but it's so good!</div>

I also have a second stick of lipbalm I like to have with me only because it tastes like Pocky. I love Pocky. Pocky is amazing. You should have Pocky.</div>
<br />
And then there's my keys which actually is an illusion because I literally only have one key on the thing, the rest are keychains. As you can see, I have a LOT of keychains. Plus a lanyard that holds it all. I have a weakness to cute keychains, OKAY?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I always have a pair of sunglasses with me in a little carrying sleeve since it often gets very bright and sunny where I live, which is a no brainer but I also have a sensitivity to light so I kind of rely on my sunglasses to help me, you know, not go blind.</div>
<br />
And I literally NEVER leave the house without my all important earbuds. NEVER. I didn't use to carry my earbuds with me but once I started realizing how often I found myself bored without anything to at least listen to when I was out and about, I was quick to buy me a pair of earbuds with a carrying case. I keep my favorite ergonomic earbuds neatly inside the metal tin and often reach for them on a daily basis when I'm running errands or shopping and want some music to jam out to. It's beautiful.<br />

I usually only ever carry a book with me if I know there's a small chance I'll be able to read it when I'm out for the day, not so much if I just plan on making a quick run to the store or something.</div>
<br />
I like taking a book with me if I know I'll be getting a longer lunch break at work or am taking a drive somewhere that will give me a good half hour of reading time. Often me and my mom will go thrift shopping and our favorite one is about thirty minutes away so I like to read in the car on the way there.<br />
<br />
I'm obviously reading "Ready Player One" at the moment since the movie comes in NEXT WEEK and I couldn't be more excited about it! I actually meant to read it last year but didn't get around to actually doing that so I'm currently trying to read as much and as fast as I can and so far, I'm really loving it!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's it for what I keep in my backpack on a regular basis. I didn't show a picture of my phone but that's a given. I really hope you guys enjoyed this post! I want to start posting more diverse posts like this that have to do more with lifestyle and such. Don't get me wrong, I love talking about books and coffee, but I also like talking about little seemingly unimportant things like all the crap I keep in my purse. It's real-life. It's random. And so is my bag. Anyhoo, read on, bookworms! See you all in the next chapter!</div>

Okay, so I've been wanting this album for such a long time since it has so many of my favorite songs from BTS and I honestly don't know why it took me so long to finally buy this album. Life? Unwise choices? Forgetting how much I wanted it and was practically dying for it? I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. What's important is that I finally have it, okay?</div>

When I first got this album in the mail, I thought it was so mysterious and cool and kind of looked like something out of a spy movie, that's just me.</div>
<br />
I honestly loved how this album opens up, it was like a little gift box; a scary, dark, suspicious looking gift box. Not to mention the album booklet is EVERYTHING. Just LOOK AT IT.<br />

After lifting the little booklet from the inside of the box it reveals the CD and a couple of little photocards! I decided to take more than one picture of the inside of the album since the photocards were actually covering up the writing in the top right corner but I didn't want to have too few pictures for this post. Since not a lot came in this album, I took as many interesting pictures as possible, which isn't hard to do since it's a BTS album after all, it's already interesting in every aspect if you ask me.</div>

I was so happy when I got this adorable little group picture of the members because THEY WERE JUST BABIES, I'M CRYING!</div>
<br />
I also got a single photocard of one of the members which I was super happy about, though I was hoping to get a photocard of one of the members that I don't yet have. I have single photocards of three or four of the members but I hope to one day have one of each member. Great goals I have in life, am I right?<br />

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all having a great week so far! Mine has been a little busy so I apologize for not being active as of late but things are starting to calm down which is nice and means more blogging and Instagram time for me. I'm happy to finally be catching a break as Spring starts rolling around so I'm sending good vibes to everyone! Anyhoo, I want to get right into this post because it's a bit different.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about reading more non-fiction books especially since there are a few that have caught my eye in recent weeks that I would really love to read. I decided to write a post showcasing all the non-fiction books I plan on reading this year. I would love to read a non-fiction book every month but quite honestly, I don't have that many non-fiction books that I want to read. It's not my favorite genre but I do enjoy a good biography every now and again and I do have my favorites.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, here are the top five non-fiction books I really want to read in 2018!<br />
____________________________________________<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>1. Columbine by Dave Cullen</i></span><br />
<img alt="5632446" height="400" src="https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442939134l/5632446.jpg" width="263" /><br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5632446-columbine?ac=1&from_search=true#" target="_blank">Goodreads</a><br />
<b><i>Synopsis:</i></b><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>What really happened April 20, 1999? The horror left an indelible stamp on the American psyche, but most of what we "know" is wrong. It wasn't about jocks, Goths, or the Trench Coat Mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on scene, and spent ten years on this book-widely recognized as the definitive account. With a keen investigative eye and psychological acumen, he draws on mountains of evidence, insight from the world's leading forensic psychologists, and the killers' own words and drawings-several reproduced in a new appendix. Cullen paints raw portraits of two polar opposite killers. They contrast starkly with the flashes of resilience and redemption among the survivors.</i></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I really love stories about survival and redemption so this book caught my eye as soon as I found it at the bookstore one day. I know I'm probably one of the last people to read this book but I have good reason for it. The story of Columbine is one I've always been interested in learning more about and I've seen plenty of documentaries and specials on the subject. However, since the recent school shooting in Florida has dominated the news across the country, I think it's important that we start talking about the issues we face and finally take the first step into changing the way we do things in order to protect schools, kids, teens and young adults from having to face the fear of simply going to school. It's an incredibly important subject that the young generation refuses to sweep under the rug and I want to learn more about what I could possibly do to make myself more aware.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i>Sara Sargent at HarperCollins has bought Amy Bleuel's Project Semicolon: Your Story Isn't Over.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I just recently bought this book for no real reason other than that it looked interesting. I haven't heard many things about this book so when I researched a little bit about this book, I grew more and more excited to read it and see all that it contained. I love books about mental health, whether non-fiction or not, as it's also a very important subject that is continuing to be talked about more and more as the years go on which is great. I've always been a supporter of Project Semicolon so I'm excited to dive into this book.</div>

This book was one I stumbled upon while researching the Project Semicolon book. This one I was very interested in reading and ordered online as soon as I read about it on Goodreads as it seemed like a book I needed to have in my library. This one is a bind-up of various stories by various contributors to create an anthology of discussion for those dealing with or wanting to learn more about depression and suicide. I think this book will end up being a favorite just based on the synopsis but I guess we'll see.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>4. What Made Maddy Run: The Secret Struggles and Tragic Death of an All-American Teen by Kate Fagan</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Synopsis:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">If you scrolled through the Instagram feed of 19-year-old Maddy Holleran, you would see a perfect life: a freshman at an Ivy League school, recruited for the track team, who was also beautiful, popular, and fiercely intelligent. This was a girl who succeeded at everything she tried, and who was only getting started. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">But when Maddy began her long-awaited college career, her parents noticed something changed. Previously indefatigable Maddy became withdrawn, and her thoughts centered on how she could change her life. In spite of thousands of hours of practice and study, she contemplated transferring from the school that had once been her dream. When Maddy's dad, Jim, dropped her off for the first day of spring semester, she held him a second longer than usual. That would be the last time Jim would see his daughter.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">WHAT MADE MADDY RUN began as a piece that Kate Fagan, a columnist for espnW, wrote about Maddy's life. What started as a profile of a successful young athlete whose life ended in suicide became so much larger when Fagan started to hear from other college athletes also struggling with mental illness. This is the story of Maddy Holleran's life, and her struggle with depression, which also reveals the mounting pressures young people, and college athletes in particular, face to be perfect, especially in an age of relentless connectivity and social media saturation.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This book was one I currently plan on reading within the next few weeks and I'm really looking forward to reading it. This book was one I found just days after one of my favorite singers from one of my favorite singing groups had passed away from suicide. I was a really huge fan of his so the news really hurt at the time and still does, especially when I listen to his music. I guess you could say that I was wanting to better understand the thoughts of depression in young people since it's a subject that adults and parents are now having to learn more about. It's sad that it's a subject many people are having to become more aware of but I think the more we learn, the better we can understand and figure out better ways to keep more lives from ending too soon.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>5. Dare To Be Kind by Lizzie Velasquez</i></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Synopsis:</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">When Lizzie Velasquez was 17 years old, she came across a video online titled "The World's Ugliest Woman"--only to discover that the 8-second viral video featured her. Born with a genetic condition that makes it impossible for her to gain weight, Lizzie had always known she was "different," but after her online bullying went public she decided to stand up on behalf of victims everywhere. She also made it her mission to help create a kinder world.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;">Today, her popular YouTube channel has half a million followers and her massively popular TED talk has been seen more than 10 million times. In this daring and revelatory book, she draws on her experiences overcoming bullying--from the schoolyard to the Internet--to reveal the hidden forces that give rise to cruelty, and how we can redirect them to unlock empathy and kindness. Lizzie shows how each one of us can use everyday acts of empathy to create a kinder culture and a better world.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Merriweather, Georgia, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I've been a big fan of Lizzie for years so when this book came out I was really excited to read it. I've watched Lizzie's YouTube videos and have become a big supporter of her movement of just simply daring to be kind in a world that doesn't have nearly enough love. I've always believed that treating people with respect no matter where they come from or what they are or choose to be is the only way to treat people. I love people simply because they're human and deserve to be treated with love and respect, which is why Lizzie is one of my role-models. Seeing how she's changing the world in small ways by just encouraging people to be nice is really refreshing and I can't wait to read her book!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So those are all the non-fiction books, (well, five at least) that I REALLY want to read this year. If anyone has any suggestions on other non-fiction reads I should take a look at, please leave them in the comments! I would love any and all suggestions that anyone has for me! Read on, bookworms! See you in the next chapter!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello, everyone! How is everything going for everybody? Good and amazing I hope. Now that we have our greetings out of the way, I'm here to bring you all yet another album unboxing! I've actually been building my collection over the past couple of months so I have a bit of a backlog of these still yet to be posted so I really hope some of you guys are looking forward to seeing more that I have coming your way over the next few weeks. I'm going to try spacing them out a little so no one gets bored of just seeing nothing but unboxings.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay, now then, let's start off with a little backstory first of how I become pretty much an over-night fan of this new group who call themselves "Stray Kids".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Back in October, I believe, I was just scrolling through the internet and watching videos on YouTube that looked interesting (new Kpop music videos, binge watching hair dye videos, some Mr. Nightmare videos, you know the normal stuff) and I stumbled upon a new music video that I hadn't seen before or heard ANYONE mention or talk about on my social medias. I decided to check it out and upon watching the video's ending, I realized I found my new favorite group to stan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
STAN TALENT, Y'ALL.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/AdfIfFGCqgo" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, well, the rest is history. Before I knew it, I was pre-ordering their first album, watching interviews and television programs of this group, saving pictures of them to my Pinterest boards, and becoming a full on fangirl for a group I knew nothing about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
OKAY THEN. Backstory over. Let's get into the unboxing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

BEHOLD, the album! It was actually a pretty large sized album, it being taller and wider than I thought it would be. It's actually quite a nice size and could easily be mixed in with my coffee table books, hehehe. Anyhoo, this album came with some fun things so let's move onto those next.</div>

<br />
I especially love flipping through these booklets and finding little surprises inside, it feels like Christmas.<br />

Here are few more photos of some of the pictures inside the picture booklet. I'm such a fan of black and white photographs so I had a really fun time looking through most of them. All of the pictures in the book are of the members in a candid setting or place which was really cute to see since it felt like a scrapbook that was made by really good friends. It gave a fluffy feeling to my heart and actually made me miss my friends a little bit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tracklist, photo card sets and poster were all neatly tucked into the first few pages of the book which made me very happy since there's nothing I hate more than bent edges and dent marks on albums and pictures. Well, okay, I REALLY hate stickers that won't peel off books. And broccoli. I really hate broccoli. Anyway, NOT THE POINT.</div>

Here's a picture of both the front and backs of the cards. I don't know why but I really love the logo for this group. It's seriously so cool and I'm kind of obsessed with it.<br />

And now for the bigger postcard size photocards! I normally love getting just the little ones since they kind of remind me of playing cards or trading cards but I also love getting big ones every now and then. The pictures are rather nice in the concept though they reminded me of just how UNCOOL I really am. Leave it to a single photo to insult your very existence, ha ha ha. *Clears throat.* Moving on.</div>

And now for the poster! I forgot to add the actual album into the picture for size reference but since the posters are always big anyway in the albums I get, just assume this another huge one. Because it is. Sorry for the strange angle of this too, I took the picture in the evening and only used my floor lamp as lighting. My overhead light cast too much of a glare and was way too yellow to edit out and make look nice. I obviously could've just waited until morning to take a picture in the natural lighting but I like making my life harder than it has to be so yeah, here we are. Enjoy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And that is officially it for this post! I really hope you guys enjoyed this album unboxing since it was super fun for me to put together. I also tried out a different way of laying out my pictures so as to make the post a little shorter and not have to upload so many pictures. Let me know if you guys like this layout better or not. I'm quite liking it so I think I'll stick with it for the next few unboxings.</div>

Hello. everybody! I hope every one of you is having a beautiful day so far! I know I'm having a grand time watching the Winter Olympics this year as it has pretty much consumed every moment of my evenings and I'm not even mad. It's so fun and entertaining and I can't wait to see more of the sports and programs up ahead. I've yet to miss a single moment of the Olympics so it's safe to say I'm a tiny bit obsessed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ANYHOO, I thought today would be a nice day to talk about some changes that I've decided on to make for this blog. I'll try not to make this post too long but there a few things I want to quickly talk to you guys about so let's just go ahead and jump right in, shall we?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First, let's go over all that has happened over the past four months that I've been away from my blog. Wow, where to start. Surprisingly, quite a lot happened though it feels like everything has just blurred together to create one big mess of a memory. I guess the first big life update is that I recently started a new job back in late November after leaving my first job of one year. It seems I had no chill after leaving my first job since I started my new one literally a week later. Did NOT mean to do that lol XD</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But you should all be happy to know that everything is going great so far at my new job. I'm totally enjoying it a lot more than I did my first job so that's a great sign! I also recently got my second promotion at my second job which was quite nice. It's not a huge deal to be honest but I'm still happy I've moved up a little bit. Another small update that I have is the incredibly obvious one, I got a new laptop.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The model I have now is actually doubling as two devices that I've been wanting and dreaming of having for a while now. Not only having a newer model laptop but also a drawing tablet for graphic illustrations. The model laptop I have has a 360 degree screen, meaning I can open my laptop and flip the screen and practically fold my computer in half to create a tablet. I already have a couple of different graphic illustrator applications and programs downloaded onto my laptop so all that's left is purchasing a stylus to make drawing and painting on my device a lot easier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've actually decided to focus on practicing graphic illustration for a while as I think it might be what I want to study in college but I'm still unsure. Hopefully I can get in some good practice over the next few months and maybe I'll share some of what I draw on my blog. I guess time will tell :)</div>

I have a whole list I've been working on for the past couple of weeks, so get comfortable. One of the first major changes I'll be making to this blog is the design of it. I used to be totally in love with my blue and white theme but then I thought it was time to change it. So, I DID! I hope you guys are loving the new pink, white and blue I have going on for this new theme. I think it's good for me to change the theme every now and then, especially since it's a new year, new laptop, new me, new blog. Yeah, that sounds nice and it makes me happy inside.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also want to establish a blogging schedule for myself SO I decided that I will be posting something new every MONDAY. Sound good? I'll obviously try to post more often than just the one day but I think I'll be able to for sure keep up with posting once a week at the very least. Any bonus posts that I decide to upload will go up on Thursdays.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>NEW CONTENT?!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
OKAAAAAYYYYY. So. This is something that I've been kind of beating around the bush about even before the new year. I know I kept saying in past blog posts that I was going to make some changes with content and include more of the things that interest me other than books. I still love books, don't get me wrong. I will always love books and everything about reading and writing. I still get all fluffy inside when I think about what book I should read next. However, I never REALLY added any new content besides album unboxings. Even doing that was a huge step for me and a bit nerve-wracking. I thought "What if no one reads it? What if no one likes it? What if it doesn't interest anyone? What if even my fellow blogger friends hate it?" Because you know what the scariest part of being a book blogger is? BRANCHING OUT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for scared gif" height="269" src="https://media2.giphy.com/media/14ut8PhnIwzros/giphy.gif" width="400" /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the past few months, I've gotten interested in a few different things that I would talk about more on my blog. It's definitely scary and worrisome to want to talk about things OTHER than what your blog is dedicated to. However, I also don't want to be one of those people who does the same thing that every other book blogger does. It's great if they enjoy doing that, some of my favorite blogs literally only talk about books and nothing else and I love it. But for me personally, I just feel like doing something different to make my blog stand out a little. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For instance I am such a HUGE fan of Latin pop and Kpop. They are two genres that I have become obsessed with in the last year and I love finding other people who listen to those genres too. I'm always running into people who listen to my favorite Kpop and Latin artists and it's always fun fangirling with perfect strangers about your favorite international artists. I kept trying to convince myself to make playlists of my favorite Kpop or Latin pop songs at the moment, or just simply sharing a song for the day. But I was just too nervous about it because I was so scared of no one liking it, especially since my blog is called "The BOOKWORM Central".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, to try introducing this new subject to my blog, I uploaded my first Kpop album unboxing. And held my breathe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I took these past four months to consider what I wanted for my blog overall. And I decided that I was unhappy with how I was going about my blog, not posting for weeks at a time because I didn't feel like it or just simply not being interested in what I was blogging about and ending up deleting a post that I had worked hours on putting together. I noticed, however, the posts I enjoyed writing the most were my unboxings. I wondered what it was about them that made them so enjoyable to write even though they took twice as long to write and layout versus my book reviews and other bookish posts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took me forever to realize that the reason why I liked my unboxings the most was because they involved me talking about something I was one hundred percent interested in and passionate about. My interest in Kpop, Latin pop, and Kdramas makes me excited to watch them or listen to them and I LOVE talking about it with other people I know that are interested in the same things. Having realized this, I thought "Why am I scared to post this stuff that I'm interested in? If I'm interested in it, then someone else is too, right?" </div>

Maybe I was just nervous about letting down my current readers that aren't interested in those things. However, I'm human and I'm allowed to have other interests and so is every other blogger out there. I think that's what makes blogging so fun, is that it's a platform where you can be you! Other people are interested in what you have to post because, crazy reality check, people read your blogs FOR A REASON. Book lovers are going to read your book blog because they WANT TO. Bakers and cooks are going to read your recipes you post because they WANT TO. Artists and beginner sketchers and painters are going to read your posts on paints and papers and your favorite mediums because they WANT TO. You're never going to write posts for people who aren't interested because there is ALWAYS someone out there who will find your post entertaining and wanting to see more! So, okay, maybe you lose a few followers once you start posting something new and different. BUT, what about those few NEW readers that you didn't have before that found your blog BECAUSE of your different posts and they fall in love with your content?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND THAT, my beautiful folks, is how I decided that from this day on, I will be posting more about Kpop, Latin pop, my favorite Kdramas, ALONG with posts about what I'm currently reading and favorite books of the month and so on and so on. Because why hold back and NOT talk about what interests me these days? I talk to my friends ALL THE TIME about my favorite things at the moment and even though they aren't into the same things I am, they still listen to me talk about it because THEY WANT TO. They know that it's something I love and am passionate about and they never act like they're bored or tired of me talking about some groups they've never heard of and play them songs in a language they don't know a lick of. If anything, they request Kpop and Latin pop songs to play in our car rides because they think it's funky and fun.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, yes, please expect more posts about the things listed above and PLEASE don't hate me! I'm just ready to branch out and completely open up to making my blog more diverse and unique. Hopefully, I can entertain some of you as I try to figure this blog out all over again. This is going to be fun. </div>

Hello, everybody!! Wow, it's been quite A WHILE since I've blogged ANYTHING but that's because of life and, well, I exploded my laptop and was laptopless for about four months. So yeah. That happened.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
BUT I AM SO READY FOR BLOGGING.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's so nice to be able to return to this beautiful world of blogging and now that I have officially made my return to this here blog, I plan on doing some MAJOR changes to it. I'll be talking a little bit more about what I plan on changing about my blog in the next post so if you're at all interested in seeing what I have planned for my blog, PLEASE STAY TUNED. Don't worry, I can say that I will still be blogging about books and all things bookish . . . just maybe not as much. Again, all the details will be in my upcoming blog post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ANYHOO, now that I've talked for a little bit and got some important stuff out of the way, I thought it would be perfect to return to my little blog after far too long with one of my favorite things to blog about, AN ALBUM UNBOXING. Get hype, because I said so!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For those of you who actually like my unboxings, THANKS FOR READING! I actually have quite a few albums I'll be unboxing over the next few days because, well, I took pictures of them on my phone but of course had no way of actually uploading a post as I didn't have a laptop. SO. Be prepared to see probably way too many unboxings over the next few days. I'M CELEBRATING OKAY? LET ME LIVE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Okay I'll shut up now, let's get started.</div>

I know this was supposed to be because it was right before Christmas that this album was released BUT I took it was a sign that I should probably buy it for myself since, well, it was my birthday and I DESERVE HAPPINESS. What made it even better about having gotten early birthday money that I used to buy this album was simply that this album came only a day after my birthday!</div>
<br />
Also the next day after getting the album, I got to celebrate my birthday and my best friend's birthday at Six Flags with two other besties and it was probably the greatest day of my life. Lots of laughs and fun and OMG I LOVE MY FRIENDS.<br />

<br />
The aesthetic of this album was seriously so pleasing to the eyes. I love winter scenes in movies, photos, books, etc, so this was right up my alley. Sometimes I wish I lived where it snowed everyday in the winter just so I can take endless pictures of the frozen trees and play in the snow all day long, it would be beautiful. Anyone else feel me with the snow thing? It's just so pretty, okay.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Like this little card thing that came inside the booklet. On the front is a little perforated flap with the group's logo on it and when you open it up, it's a little holiday greeting. How cute is that?</div>
<br />
I actually tore a little bit of the inside picture as you can see in the picture so just ignore that part. A little bit of tape never hurt anybody.<br />
<br />
Even though I didn't get this for Christmas, I still loved the little greeting!<br />

What's really cool about this edition of the album is that it came with these really big photocards that are actually little calendars on the back. It also had this card thing in which you put the cards in to hold the calendar cards, almost like a normal agenda book you get at other stores.</div>
<br />
You can write your plans and activities for the month and just switch out the cards once the month is up. I don't actually plan on using the calendar cards since I really don't want to write on them but rather save them and keep them nice and new and pretty but it's such a cool little idea. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And now the smaller photocards! I actually lost the picture of the two singular photocards and was too lazy to take another picture so yeah. But I did still have a picture of the back of them which were little doodles of each other done by two of the members which is just so cute. I love collecting these little photocards even though I have no idea what to do with them. I've yet to think of anything creative to do with them but maybe one day I'll think of something!</div>

ANYWAY, let me tell you why I disappeared off the face of the earth from this little blog of mine. So. Cute story. I spilled hot tea on my laptop of five years and it exploded. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The end.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a very sad occasion. After having spilled said tea on said laptop, I quite honestly had a mini meltdown. I was already in a huge blogging and reading slump and was not prepared for having a dead laptop and losing everything on it including some precious pictures of my artwork over the past few years, a million laugh worthy and tear worthy GIFS (I know, I know, there are bigger things to worry about than lost GIFS, I KNOW,) and to top it off, I was honestly in no rush AT ALL to get a new laptop.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really wanted to wait until I found the perfect laptop for me since it is a pretty big investment to slap down a thousand dollars for a screen with fancy buttons when I'm trying to save money for a million other things in life. ANYHOO, after four months of picking up extra shifts here and there at work, saving my money like a little chipmunk with nuts in winter, and doing research on laptops, I FINALLY BOUGHT ONE. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's pretty and fancy and silver and sparkles and is EVERYTHING I WANT. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, yeah, that's my little run down of what happened BUT nothing much has changed since then. Oh, except I got a new job and dyed my hair blue, black, teal and it is now currently black AND red. Yay. I'm still very much addicted to coffee, Stranger Things and Criminal Minds are still my favorite shows and I'm still binge watching all the Kdramas and listening to literally all of the kpop and eating all the Oreos in sight. Yes. Okay BYYYYEEEEE!!!</div>

Hello, everyone! Wow, it has been a month. I feel like so much has happened to me in my life recently that the past month just flew by before I could even fathom that it was in fact October. Now, we're already in November LIKE WHAT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before we start off this book haul, I will start by just telling you all right now that I literally only read two books this month. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭💧😭</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those books being a manga and an actual novel as follows:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9482387-ai-ore-love-me-vol-1" target="_blank">Ai Ore! Love Me! Vol. 1 (Ai Ore! Love Me! #1) by Mayu Shinjo</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/853510.Murder_on_the_Orient_Express" target="_blank">Murder on the Orient Express (Hercule Poirot #10) by Agatha Christie</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can tell, my reading game was ON POINT. I'm still crying over my sad little wrap up for October, I've literally had ZERO time to read much of anything let alone blog and relax and, well, BE HUMAN. Anyway, keep reading to see what I bought this month if you're interested or skip ahead to a few life updates that I have for y'all that will hopefully let me off the hook for being a horrible blogger this past month? No? Maybe? FORGIVE ME.</div>

First off, I dyed my hair midnight blue.<br />
<br />
Okay bye.<br />
<br />
JUST KIDDING. I'm not done yet, people. Geez. You can't rush me here, I've got a lot to update you guys on.<br />
<br />
It's been pretty busy these last few weeks for me and I've even gone so far as to take a mini social media break in which I haven't posted in almost a week. YIKES. And this is coming from someone who has an Instagram addiction. Anyhoo, I've needed some time off from blogging and bookstagramming for several reasons. The major one being that I recently put in my two weeks at one of my jobs, a place I've worked at for almost a year.<br />
<br />
Not going to lie, I'm really going to miss working there. Yes, it was stressful at times and difficult customers didn't make things easier BUT it was the friendly and funny customers that made it all worth it. Like seriously, I've had children hug me, puppies and dogs lick my hand and even had a mom of 30 years of age and her six-year-old have an hour-long conversation with me about how much we loved BTS, it was legit. However, my work there got to the point where I simply just didn't think it was worth it anymore.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jk3XT7eodYs/WgckYIALuxI/AAAAAAAANZ4/gqv7sfKvTVU3aEfdcZ8jNOmAFXZ5xNCSQCLcBGAs/s1600/tumblr_lptklejjPv1qla7k7o1_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="212" data-original-width="499" height="135" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-jk3XT7eodYs/WgckYIALuxI/AAAAAAAANZ4/gqv7sfKvTVU3aEfdcZ8jNOmAFXZ5xNCSQCLcBGAs/s320/tumblr_lptklejjPv1qla7k7o1_500.gif" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm currently saving up for college, a car, have bills to pay, and it was difficult to put money towards that with what I was making at my job. It was saddening when I finally made my decision to leave since my co-workers were freaking awesome to work worth and I fully believe I have the greatest boss ever, but it's time for me to move on and grow up. Ew, adulting. Stay young, kids.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71M57bPolzs/Wgckhai_MtI/AAAAAAAANZ8/diEmKL8jLg4mRqW9KyL1KXYkcOFjEwsJACLcBGAs/s1600/17232043.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="200" data-original-width="245" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-71M57bPolzs/Wgckhai_MtI/AAAAAAAANZ8/diEmKL8jLg4mRqW9KyL1KXYkcOFjEwsJACLcBGAs/s1600/17232043.gif" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Another reason why I've been absent is because I'm simply putting too much stress on myself. I'm an overachiever through and through, and I'm not going to lie, I was starting to get really down about how I never have time for anything or anyone. I poured everything into working at both jobs, wanting to be the best at what I could do, working hard, and helping out as much as possible, often working overtime. I started to get a little depressed once I started thinking about how I don't have time to blog, read, write, and most importantly, paint. I'm an artist and am always looking for inspiration, but when I realized a couple weeks ago that the last painting I did was from four months ago, it hit me. I needed to lighten my load. </div>
<br />
<br />
On top of that, I've been handling some health issues I've had for the past few years and am slowly seeing that I've neglected to take care of myself due to taking on too much. It's important that you always work hard to stay happy and healthy and somehow, I forgot to do just that. I'm excited and sad to be letting some things go and moving on and forward but I'm also looking forward to whatever lies ahead for me.<br />
<br />
So that might not have been the longest wrap-up and book haul for you guys but I hope you all have enjoyed reading this post regardless. I kind of got a little dark there at the end (WHOOPS) so here's something to lighten the mood:<br />
<br />
<img alt="Related image" height="414" src="https://media.giphy.com/media/10IvkVuIKqMTrW/giphy.gif" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Okay, I'm done now. I really hope you all enjoyed this post and I'll see you next time hopefully when I post again. I promise it will be sometime THIS month. You have my word. Read on, bookworms! See you in the next chapter!<br />

The reason why this unboxing is going to be kind of long, or at least longer than my previous ones, is simply because I bought both versions of the same album.<br /><br />SUE ME.<br /><br />I honestly couldn't decide which version I wanted more, plus I wanted both versions so there. This happened. I REGRET NOTHING. Let's get into the unboxing instead of focusing on my lack of self-control.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n5pzCWZLeOE/WfIY7FFySKI/AAAAAAAANWY/ebRmX5cKWVU5dS_It8uTc2p54CBDT1RDACLcBGAs/s1600/20171022_113315.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1093" data-original-width="1600" height="218" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-n5pzCWZLeOE/WfIY7FFySKI/AAAAAAAANWY/ebRmX5cKWVU5dS_It8uTc2p54CBDT1RDACLcBGAs/s320/20171022_113315.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />So first, let's go over the different versions. The first one is the MAGIC HOUR and the second is the GOLDEN HOUR. I can't decide which one I like more since they both have slightly different themes and aesthetics.<br /><br />They both came with a good amount of things and you know how much I love things like OMG GIMMEE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I will say that right off the bat I loved the theme of this one more than the other just because who doesn't love a sunset or dusk?

I'm guessing if you're able to collect all seven triangle shaped cards, they're meant to be connected since on the back, it has writing on it. There's also a faint printing of what looks to be part of the GOT7 emblem which is pretty darn cool.</div>

Not sure if I'll ever be able to collect all seven triangle photocards but hey, it's still fun to know there's a reason to try. Anyhoo, this the end of the unboxing for the GOLDEN HOUR so let's go ahead and move onto the unboxing of the next version. If you're still reading this, THANK YOU I LOVE YOU LET'S BE BESTIES. Okay, moving on.<div>

And here we have the MAGIC HOUR. This album's aesthetic is seriously EVERYTHING OMG. It's so pretty and calming and it makes me happy. I forgot to mention that both albums came with these cool little postcard booklets which is really satisfying to look through.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The photography for both are so pretty and magical in a sense. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Not that I'll be sending these to anybody, I don't think I could ever bring myself to part with any of them because, you know, I'm just a TINY bit of a HUGE fan of GOT7. Just a little one, not much. Obviously.</div>

I freaking love the theme of this version of the album. I definitely love the photography of this album more than the other even though I love both. The photography for this one is a little more contemporary with a -in-the-moment vibe to it. Sorry, I'm an art student, I notice these things and describe them with strange words. </div>
<div>
<br />BUT YOU GET WHAT I MEAN, RIGHT? Yes? Okay, thank you.</div>

This album came with these three photocards, including the triangle shaped one. I plan on using the triangle ones as bookmarks since they're just too cool looking. Hopefully, I don't end up losing them or damaging them because then I would cry. Like a lot. More than I did while reading "Allegiant" and "The Fault In Our Stars."</div>

And now for the photocard packs! I seriously love opening these little packets, it's just so satisfying.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As always, these were double sided and I got one with both albums. Now that I have all these photo cards, I seriously need to figure out a way to use them instead of letting my stack of photocards continue to grow. And grow. And grow. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Excuse me while I cry in shame.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay I'm good, let's actually see these photocards instead of making you read more of my babble that no one has time for.</div>

I will say that it always makes me laugh a little at how huge these posters are. I've only ever received one actual small poster . . . and it's not even a poster, more like a flyer meant to be placed in the album booklet.<br /><br />One of these days I should do a haul of all of my posters, it's almost as big as my book collection, I swear.</div>

Cross your fingers because my posters are so sad in their little box. </div>

So that is it for this album unboxing! I'm sorry if this post was whoa long and if you took the time to read it all, I applaud you. I've been horrible, positively HORRIBLE at keeping up with writing posts, reading my favorite blogs and commenting on their posts so hopefully, I can get back to being active in that way. It will take some time but I'm confident I can eventually get into some sort of groove with it all. Anyhoo, thank y'all so much for reading if you did, and please leave me a comment on what your current favorite song is, whether it be a new release or a throwback track. </div>

Happy October, everyone! I've been having a good month so far and I hope all of yours have been super great! I'm actually just a tiny bit annoyed at the time that I'm writing this since I spent an HOUR typing everything up and adding in all the pictures and links . . . and it all got deleted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sometimes the refresh button TRULY hates me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, I managed to type everything out again and it was actually quicker this time around? No idea how that happened but I'm glad and rolling with it. I had a pretty good month of book-buying, however, because of all the adulting I've been doing (SOMEONE SEND HELP) I've barely had time to read much of anything like blogs or comments, let alone books.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going to try my very hardest to manage my time wisely and set aside that time for some relaxing with reading. I hope to post at least one post every week whether it be bookish or not so be sure to stay tuned if you're interested in seeing what I have planned for my next few posts. Now, without further ado, here's my book haul and wrap-up!</div>

Welp, I failed as a blogger.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
HELLO, EVERYBODY! Yes, I've only posted TWICE this month and neither of them have been book reviews. YES, I am still alive but struggling to feel human. YES, I have failed you all *cries in dark hole*.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I do really mean it when I say I'm going to be more active on my blog and continue trying my hardest to post more often, however, this month has been exhausting, to say the least, so please be patient with me! It seriously means the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that my apologies are out of the way, let's focus on the actual point of this post: THE ALBUM. You have no idea how excited I am for this post, like seriously, I'm legit dying.</div>

Okay, so, I'm DEAD excited for this album OMG. You've got no IDEA. I've been waiting for this album for about a month since I pre-ordered it before there was even a cover art. I was basically sold a promise and I was like "TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!".<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, the album finally came (!!!!!!!) and I'm so excited to unbox it for you guys! Even though I've already opened up everything and already know what it came with and, well, it's all opened by this point because there are pictures of everything . . . you get the point.<br />
<br />
Let's move on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6AMDGyyljT0/WdLDhc-2a1I/AAAAAAAANTA/yNFBpQSyq38Q1rm09lA0Uecu7xFyAmQFACLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_110717.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1209" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6AMDGyyljT0/WdLDhc-2a1I/AAAAAAAANTA/yNFBpQSyq38Q1rm09lA0Uecu7xFyAmQFACLcBGAs/s200/20170930_110717.jpg" width="150" /></a></div>
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3PfI_-x-FnE/WdLFk2aHdwI/AAAAAAAANTQ/ZGyEGDNGMk4ZFok1Ljvee55TXQAiMiGbQCLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_110704.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3PfI_-x-FnE/WdLFk2aHdwI/AAAAAAAANTQ/ZGyEGDNGMk4ZFok1Ljvee55TXQAiMiGbQCLcBGAs/s320/20170930_110704.jpg" width="305" /></a>So first up, can we just talk about the cover? LIKE SO MUCH PRETTY. I love me some simple covers for albums and books, it's just very satisfying and I find it so pretty in all its simplicity. Anyhoo, the little letters and the flower is engraved with holographic amazingness and it makes me so happy. I love holographic anything so there's that.<br />
<br />
It's also on the CD itself and it looks so pretty, I'M DYING.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOKTv2CAjtI/WdLGz1nhTCI/AAAAAAAANTc/J1dtn8JcAHgM-Kxdyc4W67P_82HgBUeEQCLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_110550.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1563" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zOKTv2CAjtI/WdLGz1nhTCI/AAAAAAAANTc/J1dtn8JcAHgM-Kxdyc4W67P_82HgBUeEQCLcBGAs/s320/20170930_110550.jpg" width="312" /></a>The album also came with a little sheet of stickers which I plan on making into a phone case and by the time this post is being written, I'll have already made the phone case and I'll probably be taking a picture of it and posting it to my Instagram so follow me there if you're curious as to how it turned out.<br />
<br />
It also came with that little book thing that I have no idea what it is since I don't know the language, BUT I'm sure it's interesting.<br />
<br />
It also came with a poster so I'll be showing that later in this post so stay tuned and keep reading.<br />
<br />

Yay.<br />
<br />
These are also double sided . . . like YES, THANK YOU.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pz4X2GzteTs/WdLKbN5FOtI/AAAAAAAANTw/YU_5kd1SMIwDSrqYPJ4v-4gJX9me0i4FgCLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_111016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1425" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pz4X2GzteTs/WdLKbN5FOtI/AAAAAAAANTw/YU_5kd1SMIwDSrqYPJ4v-4gJX9me0i4FgCLcBGAs/s320/20170930_111016.jpg" width="284" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This album also came with a "free gift" which I assumed was another photocard, which it was, so yay me for being psychic. I love getting little free gifts even if I know what they're going to be.<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nx_SAt8C27A/WdLLgqR41lI/AAAAAAAANT4/DWkYhiWtPU4UXve4APvU_aKpqB9DovhpACLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_110958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1429" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nx_SAt8C27A/WdLLgqR41lI/AAAAAAAANT4/DWkYhiWtPU4UXve4APvU_aKpqB9DovhpACLcBGAs/s200/20170930_110958.jpg" width="178" /></a><br />
I probably shouldn't hope for extra photo cards since my collection is too big already and just wasting away in a dark little corner, but you know, whatevs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RES2gYQeTXc/WdLLsEtimNI/AAAAAAAANT8/BZqAtzRji40hraCJ1DBwaS4CsLSMmgwcwCLcBGAs/s1600/20170930_111230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1199" data-original-width="1600" height="239" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RES2gYQeTXc/WdLLsEtimNI/AAAAAAAANT8/BZqAtzRji40hraCJ1DBwaS4CsLSMmgwcwCLcBGAs/s320/20170930_111230.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
And finally, the big finale, THE POSTER. Just like the photo cards, I have too many posters already but they're all safely kept in a box on my bookshelf. I'm so weird with posters, luckily one of my best friends related to me and I no longer felt alone in the world.<br />
<br />
Anyhoo, I still love having posters of my favorite groups and bands even if I don't actually hang them up on my wall. Maybe one day I'll get over my weirdness . . . but let's be real, that's never gonna happen. MOVING ON.<br />

So that's pretty much it for this album unboxing! I'm pretty much obsessed with every single song on this album, it's a little bit concerning. Like seriously, the first track gives me LIFE.<br />
<br />
And, apparently, there are two bonus tracks to the album that are only on the physical album so that made me feel a little special when I found that out. Like, yay me, value the little things.<br />
<br />
No idea at all when the next album unboxing will be, probably either at the end of the month or even in November, but we'll see. There are plenty of albums I plan on ordering so I guess stay tuned?<br />
<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What is up, everybody! Today I'm SUPER EXCITED to bring you all another album unboxing! I'm really loving that I'm able to do this on my blog now though I'm still unsure if anyone finds this entertaining so just roll with me here. As I've said before in my <a href="http://thebookwormcentral.blogspot.com/2017/08/album-unboxing-1-verse-2-jjproject.html" target="_blank">last album unboxing post</a>, these won't be happening too often since it takes a while for albums overseas to get to my little Hobbit hole and this blog will remain bookish in all aspects. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
HOWEVER, I do have other interests besides books (*GASP* SHOCKING) and I really want to incorporate those interests into this blog and create more of a variety of topics. My blog is very special to me and I want to entertain people with my ramblings and whatnot, not just stick to one thing and one thing only. I'll be writing up a future post about why I've decided to make changes to my blog, what those changes are and topics I want to bring to The Bookworm Central so stay tuned for that if you want to know more.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without further ado, let's get into the album unboxing! Plus, I have a cute little story that went along with obtaining this album . . . Read on.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
First of all, CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT ALL THE PRETTY??? Like seriously, I was in awe when I pulled this album out of the packaging and saw all the beautiful holographic colors depending on how the light shone on the cover. Not only that, but it's whoa shiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I found it oddly satisfying it was to just hold the album in my hands. It's basically a book so I think you all know that feeling of holding a book that's the perfect size, weight, thickness, feel, etc. It's satisfying, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay now that I'm done being weird (FOR NOW) let me actually show you guys what all came with the album as it came with a decent amount of things. Not as much as my last album that I unboxed, but still, a good number and nothing that overwhelmed me. I like it when books or albums come with lots of stuff like postcards, bookmarks, stickers and so on but sometimes it makes my brain freak out like it's saying "WHAT DO I DO WITH ALL THE THINGS?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BkuyYce0V4Q/WasWwam2vRI/AAAAAAAANQE/qtDvu6Pyu74vNZlmR9w0KoPjyjCv-DgsQCLcBGAs/s1600/20170822_111705.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1353" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BkuyYce0V4Q/WasWwam2vRI/AAAAAAAANQE/qtDvu6Pyu74vNZlmR9w0KoPjyjCv-DgsQCLcBGAs/s320/20170822_111705.jpg" width="283" /></a>Not only is it really holographic on the cover, but also on the back which only made me that much happier about it. I was really proud of myself when I took these pictures because the lighting was perfect and caught the colors so well and showed up way better on camera than colors usually do. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As you can hopefully tell by the sunglasses in the corner, the album is a decent size which is great since a couple of albums I have are pretty big, almost bigger than a vinyl record even if you can imagine.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyhoo I'll stop talking already about how pretty the album is and move onto everything that came with the album itself so let's keep going.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ymCFvvqK8Y/WasYH2CeMhI/AAAAAAAANQU/E9kibH6dHcY-kHSJcHPaVmmQ6_NaS-n2ACLcBGAs/s1600/20170822_111854.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4ymCFvvqK8Y/WasYH2CeMhI/AAAAAAAANQU/E9kibH6dHcY-kHSJcHPaVmmQ6_NaS-n2ACLcBGAs/s320/20170822_111854.jpg" width="240" /></a>First are the photo cards I received. In total, there were five, four of which are double sided and one having a playing card design which is pretty neat in my opinion. I usually keep these photo cards I have in the little plastic sleeves they usually come in in order to protect them from dust, dirt, etc. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do with these photo cards instead of just adding to the already big pile of them that I have, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I've thought about using them as just mini bookmarks but I would love any other ideas! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4OehnencRIA/WasYkR-cC5I/AAAAAAAANQY/qNhVFQJ2-tkVRg1bGUKHtu3qzJAytkjYwCLcBGAs/s1600/20170822_111756.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4OehnencRIA/WasYkR-cC5I/AAAAAAAANQY/qNhVFQJ2-tkVRg1bGUKHtu3qzJAytkjYwCLcBGAs/s320/20170822_111756.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then, of course, is the album itself which has this really pretty tropical detailing on it which actually goes along quite well with the title of the album. One thing that I really love about this group's music is that it has a bit of a Latin Pop feel to it. I pretty much listen to only Kpop, Latin Pop, and maybe a little bit of country these days. Maybe it's just the changing of the season but I'm in a serious mood for just those three genres right now and nothing else.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And finally, the big kahuna (I just LOVE that word) which is the poster. And as usual, the poster was freaking HUGE. I almost couldn't fit it into the frame as I laid it on my table in front of the window in order to get good lighting but ended up having to move it to the floor just to get the whole thing in the frame. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nEIL5GICYDc/WasafqfN7rI/AAAAAAAANQk/pt-AfApKn60IwbdDOO5ZKsSqh0kYpKRjwCLcBGAs/s1600/20170822_112129.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1136" data-original-width="1532" height="237" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nEIL5GICYDc/WasafqfN7rI/AAAAAAAANQk/pt-AfApKn60IwbdDOO5ZKsSqh0kYpKRjwCLcBGAs/s320/20170822_112129.jpg" width="320" /></a>I expressed how weird I feel about posters many times before and I really want to get over that weirdness since I feel bad about having almost ten posters of my favorite artists just sitting in a box. I've thought about maybe hosting a giveaway for the posters instead so that other fans of the artists can put the posters to good use and give them a home on their bedroom walls but I'm not quite sure if I want to part with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It's a strange relationship. Anyhoo, I included the album for size comparison and I think this is one of the biggest posters I own now. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: x-large;">STORYTIME</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now that the unboxing is completed, there was a funny little event that took place while trying to get this album. When I first ordered it, it came quicker than I expected. It only took about nine days for it to ship to my house which was awesome and I was excited to open it as soon as possible. However, while the shipping status said it had been delivered successfully, it never showed up. A couple of days later, I got an email saying I needed to reschedule a redelivery as the first attempt failed. I rescheduled it no problem and the next day, I got another email saying my package was delivered.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once again, happiness filled my heart and the excitement returned. Also once again, the packaged was nowhere to be found. About five days went by and with the package still not having turned up and checking the post office to see if they had it (they didn't 😔) I decided to request a refund. I ALWAYS feel bad having to do that since it's not the seller's fault for a package getting lost in the mail. The seller was so great though and gave me a refund THE SAME DAY I requested one and I gave them a great review in return on Amazon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I still wanted the album of course and decided to order the album from a different seller. It was going to take a little longer for it to get here but I didn't mind waiting two weeks, it'd be worth it. Surprisingly, the album came a week later, I opened it, took pictures (the ones above) and all was well in my little world 😁. THEN, a second package came a week after that and this happened:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YzNdBpafK0M/Wasf1LIKXMI/AAAAAAAANQ0/9Ota122KVVw-1lJxPGqfOOyiIc-Jm9VfwCLcBGAs/s1600/20170831_111239.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YzNdBpafK0M/Wasf1LIKXMI/AAAAAAAANQ0/9Ota122KVVw-1lJxPGqfOOyiIc-Jm9VfwCLcBGAs/s320/20170831_111239.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YUP.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this point, I didn't know what to do. I thought about maybe somehow returning the first album to the seller since they were awesome and gave me a refund and everything but I didn't know how to do that. Then I thought about giving the album away to someone . . . then I remembered I'm the only one I know who listens to Kpop . . . THEN I thought it'd be fun to maybe host a giveaway for the second album. I still haven't decided quite yet so I'd love to know if any of you out there would be interested in the giveaway. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I went ahead and carefully opened the photo cards to see if there was a difference and there was. <br /><br />The first set of photo cards is bigger than the first ones I got, as well as one of them had a different image of the group on either side. Other than that, the album is the same and also comes with a poster. Yay.<br /><br />So that's officially it for this album unboxing. I don't know when the next one will be, maybe some time at the end of this month (?) so if you actually liked this unboxing, stay tuned for more in the future.<br /><br />Lastly, I'm excited about some new posts I have coming up within the next few weeks as they're ones I've been wanting to write but was too afraid to post since it wasn't as "bookish" as my other posts. I really hope you guys look forward to some new topics coming your way and I want to thank you from the bottom of my coffee-loving heart for reading. Until next time, my lovely readers.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello, everybody! I hope you all had an awesome August. This month has been crazy busy for me personally but I somehow managed to post here more than ONCE this month! GET OUT THE CONFETTI CANNONS!! Anyhoo, I'm hard at work today putting together a few blog posts for this little blog of mine and for Of Wonderland which I co-blog at so hopefully everything goes smoothly and I'm able to schedule a handful of posts for both sites so wish me luck!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This month I was able to limit my book buying which I'm very happy about as I barely read anything this month, hence why my wrap up is very very tiny and even though I did much worse on my music buying (a lot of things came out in August OKAY!!) I'm still happy with the amount that I've obtained. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a side note before I get this wrap-up and book haul started, I do have a few posts from this month that I would like to refer you guys to in case you're interested in seeing my previous endeavors so here you go! Let's hope my posts become more regualar WITHOUT a week or two seperating each, am I right?</div>

Hello, everybody! I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend so far. Mine has been rather sleep-deprived but whatever, that's why naps were invented. Anyhoo, I recently did a little book shopping in a bit of an unconventional store: The Dollar Store.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've discovered that every now and then, the Dollar Store can be the greatest bookstore, other times, not so much. Most recently, however, I was able to find some pretty good books for an awesome price obviously, especially since some of the books I found were ones I've been wanting to read for forever. I actually even went back a second time to pick up a couple of other books I thought about buying on my first visit but decided not to for some odd reason. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, enjoy my dollar store book haul!</div>

<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R5G-S9KQjks/WaL4kYW009I/AAAAAAAANOQ/Sf6jvZrmq1sdl6D4eCcsVzaiD78wYUHywCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="596" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R5G-S9KQjks/WaL4kYW009I/AAAAAAAANOQ/Sf6jvZrmq1sdl6D4eCcsVzaiD78wYUHywCLcBGAs/s200/Untitled.jpg" width="200" /></a>So one of the first books I grabbed was <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16248159-the-boyfriend-app?ac=1&from_search=true">The Boyfriend App</a> by Katie Sise. I remember wanting to read this book a few years ago but when I stumbled upon it at the dollar store, I was reminded of it. I had no idea what it was about anymore but after reading the synopsis of the book, I actually still really wanted to read it as it sounded like it might be super funny and cute. No idea when I'll pick it up but I'm hoping it'll be soon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dSoN43_ruO4/WaL5vLt-EuI/AAAAAAAANOU/qhS-141eb1okAvKEdgpxHvgOH0oTCj-2wCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="600" height="198" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dSoN43_ruO4/WaL5vLt-EuI/AAAAAAAANOU/qhS-141eb1okAvKEdgpxHvgOH0oTCj-2wCLcBGAs/s200/Untitled2.jpg" width="200" /></a>The second book I picked up is one that I've been searching for for almost A YEAR but I could not for the life of me remember what it was called or who it was by. It was frustrating only remembering what the cover looked like and what it was about. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20893828-side-effects?from_search=true">Side Effects</a> is about a girl with depression who starts having "musical hallucinations" as a side effect of a new medication she's been prescribed. Some moments of her life she imagines as music videos or Broadway productions. You have no idea how happy I was when I FINALLY found this one!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nvNYzjg-JLA/WaL66afIIVI/AAAAAAAANOg/wJgfqJygYM0xp6pe8lk1jNkrI8GvIrpOACLcBGAs/s1600/20170827_111921.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="1200" height="191" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nvNYzjg-JLA/WaL66afIIVI/AAAAAAAANOg/wJgfqJygYM0xp6pe8lk1jNkrI8GvIrpOACLcBGAs/s200/20170827_111921.jpg" width="200" /></a>The next two I picked up were a little random but I'd seen them before at other bookstores and I did want to read them, though I never actually bought them. Obviously, when I saw them at the dollar store, I couldn't pass up the deal. <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10194628-love-and-leftovers?ac=1&from_search=true">Love and Leftovers</a> sounded like it could be a deeper kind of contemporary while <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18602791-don-t-call-me-baby?ac=1&from_search=true">Don't Call Me Baby</a> sounded like it could be pretty funny and awkward. I'm excited to read both of them, especially since Love and Leftovers is written in verse.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8k7swKL3aqM/WaL8R7xVtCI/AAAAAAAANOs/wollztA4DwoZz3wL3U3WrjUhgXIyb-L1wCLcBGAs/s1600/20170827_112105.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1202" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8k7swKL3aqM/WaL8R7xVtCI/AAAAAAAANOs/wollztA4DwoZz3wL3U3WrjUhgXIyb-L1wCLcBGAs/s320/20170827_112105.jpg" width="319" /></a>And lastly, I was able to find <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18367581-afterworlds?ac=1&from_search=true">Afterworlds</a> which I was SO HYPED about! I've been wanting to read this book ever since it was released but never got around to buying a copy of the book. I kept putting off buying the book after seeing it all the time in bookstores, waiting until I had "time" to read it. Then I released I never have time for reading but I somehow read every day. So, I bought it.<br /><br />I also went back a couple of days later to grab two more copies of Afterworlds and Side Effects for my two best friends since one of my friends loves ANYTHING about Broadway and my other friend and I pretty much like the same sci-fi/fantasy novels and after telling them about the books, they both wanted to read one or the other. It's pretty awesome having bookish friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's about it for my little book haul! I love finding books and other things for a great price and I love a good deal. I really hope you all enjoyed this post and please stay tuned (IF YOU'RE INTERESTED) as I have a new album unboxing coming up within the next few days as well as my monthly book haul. Read on, bookworms! See you in the next chapter!</div>

Hello, everybody! I'm super excited to introduce a new "segment" to this little blog of mine that I'm personally hoping some of you enjoy: album unboxings. I love music and am very passionate about it. I love pretty much every genre of music, in any language, any artist, I just LOVE music so much! My phone has become more of a glorified MP3 player since I now have so many songs in my library, it's not even funny. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also love buying albums and vinyls and have found that some of them are incredibly fun to open, particularly Kpop albums. Yes, I'm still in the deep dark abyss of Kpop and am NOWHERE NEAR climbing out of it. At this point, I'm simply in too deep. Anyhoo, I often wish that more albums of different genres were as fun to open as Kpop albums since they come with much more than just the album itself. I've seen a handful of American albums come in special packages that came with merch such as shirts, postcards, stickers, etc. but not that many. For now, I'll be doing mostly Kpop album unboxings until I can find other albums that I personally think will be fun to open on this blog. I hope you all enjoy so let's get on with the fun!</div>

Apparently, there are two versions of this album, the "Tomorrow" version which is what I received and the "Today" version. Funny story is that I actually thought this was a different album I ordered so I was super extra surprised to have pulled this one out of the package. The album also came with a lot more stuff included than what I was expected and compared to other albums I've ordered in the past, it was like Christmas.</div>

Anyhoo, it also came with a little photo card thing of one of the members and in the back was the actual album itself. I'm a 90's kid so having CDs out the wazoo makes me happier than a kid in a candy store. Literally not kidding.</div>

I literally have a two-inch stack of these photo cards I've received from other albums in the past because I HAVE NO IDEA what to do with them. I've thought about using them as bookmarks but would that be weird? I'm all about shouting your fangirlism from the rooftops but when it comes to bands, I'm very hesitant. I don't want people thinking I'm some crazy fangirl (even though I AM . . .) When I fangirl over books, music, etc. I go HARD.</div>

The photography was so beautiful and I especially loved all the scenic pictures of the country side and the nature.<br /><br />There were also little captions to all the pictures (which I have no idea what they say since I don't know Korean) BUT the pictures are pretty so I'm satisfied. For now. Until it drives me crazy not knowing what the heck the captions say but thank goodness for Google Translate, right?</div>

I actually got two posters this time round which made me pretty darn happy. The first one is freaking HUGE as you can see as I used the photo essay booklet for size comparison.<br /><br />I have a few other posters from other albums just stored safely away in a decorative box since I'm actually not a fan of hanging posters on my wall. It makes me feel a little like a creeper having people's pictures up on my wall, is that weird? I know plenty of people who hang posters up with no shame and I seriously ENVY THEM. I barely have two mini-posters hanging on my wall and one of them is only the silhouettes of the band members whereas the other has the band members facing AWAY from the camera and you can't see their faces. Am I the only one with this issue? Yes? Okay then . . .</div>

It's actually my personal favorite poster I own and I left this one tucked into the album booklet to keep safe.<br /><br />Though I did take a picture of this one on my phone, just for, you know, no reason . . .</div>

So I hope I entertained at least ONE PERSON with this little album unboxing. I hope to do more in the future but don't worry, these won't happen often as it does take a while for albums like these to make it all the way to my little house. But there will be more, so please enjoy and stay tuned! I love all genres of music and I would LOVE to know what YOUR favorite genres are. If you feel like doing so, please let me know in the comments and maybe recommend some albums to me? I would SERIOUSLY LOVE that! Okay, see you guys in the next chapter!</div>

Hello, everybody! Well, it hasn't been the best month for posting on this blog here now has it? I promise I'm trying my hardest to get better at posting more often (as I've said a THOUSAND times before) but this time, I'm serious! I WILL get better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyhoo, it also was actually a good book buying month as I was able to lessen the number of books I purchased. That's always a regular goal for me since I have WAY TOO MANY books I still have yet to read and really can't afford to keep buying more than what I'm actually reading. You understand my pain, right? RIGHT? Anyhoo, I'm quite proud of myself for having bought less books this month and I'll hopefully be able to read even more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last month was a bit slower for me reading wise but this month I hope to read as much as possible. I decided that this month I'll only be reading books that I FEEL like reading instead of picking up books that I feel like I should read because I've had them forever. I think that's what's been putting me in a reading slump lately and I plan on turning that around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Alright, enough rambling. Here's my wrap-up and book haul for the month of July. Read on, bookworms! See you in the next chapter!</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Geeky introvert Tessa Rodriguez will do whatever it takes to get promoted to video game engineer– including create a fandom-based video game in just three weeks. The only problem is, she can't do it alone. Now, she needs to strong-arm, cajole, and otherwise socialize with her video game coworkers, especially her roommate, Adam, who’s always been strictly business with her. The more they work together, though, the closer they get…</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Adam London has always thought of his roomie Tessa as “one of the guys” until he agreed to help her with this crazy project. Now, he’s thinking of her all the time… and certainly as something more than just a roommate! But his last girlfriend broke up with him to follow her ambitions, and he knows that Tessa is obsessed with getting ahead in the video game world.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; text-align: left;">Going from friends to something more is one hell of a challenge.

Upon first reading about this book, I thought it sounded super cute and would be a breeze for me to read since I adore any book that has to do with video games, graphic art and anything nerdy. This book was a combination of all three and I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy and read it. I was really excited for this book going in and I'm so happy I got that chance to read it and review it for you all! Let's get on into the review! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. <b>Special thanks to the author for sending me an e-copy of the book in exchange for an honest review! </b>To start off, I really loved Tessa's character! Not only was she an introverted young woman working in a heavily male-dominated line of work, she was also an ambitious and determined Latina woman working hard to be recognized for her skills in coding. She wanted to work hard and earn respect for what she did and by continuously pursuing her career, she challenged herself in many ways that were at first hard for her such as being social with people, making friends and getting out of the house and out of her comfort zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/responsive/cover/main/desktop/2016/04/16/6359636213073649422082279600_Piece%203%20Cover-Geek.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/responsive/cover/main/desktop/2016/04/16/6359636213073649422082279600_Piece%203%20Cover-Geek.jpg" width="320" /></a>3. I also liked that the relationship evolved quite nicely in my opinion between Tessa and her roommate Adam. At first, they're nothing more than roommates, not even friends. As they both continue to search for their place in their line of work and hone in on their coding skills, they go from roommates to good friends and eventually, a sweet romance blossoms between them. It was entertaining and swoon-worthy to watch their relationship evolve and made for an easy and fun read throughout the book. The characters were also very fun and lively, showing their support for each other in many parts of the book that I really enjoyed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
CONS:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. I did have a few problems with this short chick-lit read, however. My first issue was that the initial first kiss in the novel was a bit random. It felt a little out of place, like it was kind of just thrown in and never mentioned afterward. It felt too quick and easy especially since Tessa was very shy and introverted and it felt like too sudden of a move for her character to make at the time it happens. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. I also would have loved a bit more fleshing out of the supporting characters as I really enjoyed seeing them pop into the story and wanted a bigger presence from them. They added a lot to the book and I wanted to see more of them as I read. I also would have liked a bit more romantic development. I know I said earlier that their relationship developed nicely, which it did, but the romantic FEELINGS on both their parts felt a little out of left-field, too quick, almost over night. There wasn't that slow simmering build-up of romantic feelings that I personally love seeing in romantic reads. If I had seen more of that, I think I would have absolutely LOVED this book. </div>

<br />
Overall, it was a quick and easy read, perfect to relax with. I think if you're a reader who loves a good geeky romance story, then definitely pick this one up and see what you think! I do plan on reading the sequel to this book, which I will be posting a review of later in the month so stay tuned for that. I did enjoy "Level Up" and I hope more readers out there can enjoy the book either as much or more than I did.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
PROS:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Special thank you to the very talented author herself for sending a physical copy of the book my way in order for me to review it! As part of <a href="https://thereviewchain.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">The Review Chain</a>, <b>I was sent a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. </b>Before I can ramble on too much about how interesting the synopsis sounded and how the sound of it had me interested in the novel when I first read it, let's just get right into the review, shall we? But can we appreciate that cover though?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iPvk8cWsiCQ/WXu5DwPzNYI/AAAAAAAANLM/C4ibMd1r3-UkXMqL4Md5dP0c-73211BAgCLcBGAs/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="598" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-iPvk8cWsiCQ/WXu5DwPzNYI/AAAAAAAANLM/C4ibMd1r3-UkXMqL4Md5dP0c-73211BAgCLcBGAs/s320/Untitled.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Right off the bat, I was getting some <i>CITY OF EMBER </i>vibes from this novel which I was totally digging as the book played out. It's not necessarily a post-apocalyptic book, but it does take place in a time of uprising as it is an espionage action novel with an underlying dystopia tone that really intrigued me as I read the book. The main characters of this novel are working undercover to save one of their own who have been arrested by The System and have to go a long and potentially dangerous journey in order to save their friend. There were quite a few elements of this novel that I appreciated and made the story interesting and enjoyable as it plays out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. One thing I really loved about the novel was the world building. It was detailed yet simplified with the descriptions which made for a beautifully smooth and uncomplicated way of explaining the world of the book to the reader. The author used a simple and straightforward writing style which went very well with one of the POVs in this book as that particular character saw the world in a very straightforward, black-and-white way. At first, it was a little hard to get the hang of what the world looked and felt like since the beginning of the book wastes no time in getting right into the story but after a few pages, you're able to visualize this almost futuristic system with ease. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Another thing I liked about this novel was the air of mistrust throughout the book. The characters can trust literally no one, not even each other as the rebellion takes shape and action on bringing down The System. With a lot to lose at stake for the character, the atmosphere of mistrust really adds that little extra magic to the story that kept me as a reader entertained and wanting to know who was really worthy of trusting and wondering just what each characters' motives really were. The paranoia that characters were feeling makes the reader feel as if they are on the mission with them, making it somewhat interactive in that sense.</div>

</tbody></table>
1. While I enjoyed this novel for the most part, I was a little let down by the choice of it being written in third-person for the POVs of the characters. This novel would have been killer to read in first-person for each of the POVs as it would have allowed me personally to really connect with the characters and get to know them and how they think, feel, and act, which was something I wasn't able to do while reading. I'm not sure if the third-person writing kept me from attaching myself to the characters as it distanced them from me, or if it just didn't work for me because of the kind of fast-paced story it was but I was disappointed that none of the characters really clicked for me. I wanted to love them but I wasn't really able to connect with any of them for some reason.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. There is a lot happening throughout the book and a lot of information coming at you about The System and the rebellion and while it is paced nicely, it's still a lot of info. I found myself kind of feeling like I was drowning in all the information at some points, it just wasn't sinking in fast enough. However, if you're the kind of reader who doesn't mind a lot of information about this kind of dystopia world, you might enjoy the book just fine.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

I don't know if I'll reread this one in the future but I would definitely recommend it to all dystopian book lovers. Article Three is totally a game-changer to the dystopian genre as it includes different elements that make it a unique read in the ocean of cookie-cutter dystopian novels out there. </div>

<b>About The Author:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’ve always been a daydreamer. As a kid I wasn’t that interested in other children, I wanted to be left alone with my mind and let it tell me stories. Distant worlds and time travel were frequently reoccurring topics. I was usually the hero, with the occasional side-kick. Writing came naturally to me, as a way to try to catch the stories, and later on, to share those with the friends I did manage to get, despite being somewhat strange.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Adulthood didn’t stop the daydreaming, but it made me use less of it in my writing. Instead I wrote poetry and more conventional stories. Boring stories.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://annajakobssonlund.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/141208-annajakobssonlund-124.jpg?w=300&h=200" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="141208-AnnaJakobssonLund-124" border="0" src="https://annajakobssonlund.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/141208-annajakobssonlund-124.jpg?w=300&h=200" /></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">When I was pregnant with my second child I’d enough of them. I’d self-published one novel; a neat piece of relationship drama where nothing happened. I loved the characters but the plot was too slow. Writing, publishing and marketing were hard work, and if I was going to do it again it would not be with a boring story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My brain rescued me by playing me a scene I’d first come up with as a teen. I knew that the street depicted was from the future, and that the boy getting beat up was on a quest to save his sister. I also had the idea that the girl saving him (who had been me in the original story, of course) was part of a resistance movement.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I ran with that, started writing and discovered the kind of writer’s high I hadn’t experienced since I was a kid. As I finished that first book (Article Three) more ideas kept entering my daydreams. Not just about the two other parts of what would be The System trilogy, but ideas that could be turned into short stories and new novels. My mind is as creative now that it has ever been, which is no small blessing for a mum of small children.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The wonderful thing about sci-fi and fantasy is that you don’t have to be tied down by norms and rules of the ordinary world. You’re still able to address modern day issues, though. I try to use this in my writing by exploring themes that make the reader question his or her own views as well as society’s. I use characters that are not often depicted in main-stream literature. People I find interesting, who stretch our notion about what parts people usually play in literature. In my writing there’re no alpha-dogs and no damsels in distress. I’ve even declared my books love-triangle free. It sounds like a joke, but I want other things for my readers than the question about which hot guy the main character is going to choose at the end.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m an indie-publisher, which is equal parts funny and exhausting, and I have four novels published in Swedish. The idea to get my novels translated professionally and try to reach a larger audience is more than a little crazy, but as I started discussing it with fellow writers I couldn’t quite shake it. As I grow older I get increasingly less afraid, and also crazier, and I feel like I would be stupid not to follow my dreams when I have the chance.</span></div>
