Stacking The Shelves #5: Prodigy by Marie Lu

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted on Tynga's Reviews. Basically you share what books you acquired that week whether it be physical or digital. Info here.

Sadly, this month, I only got one book! I know, I have such a sad life. It's okay though, I probably will never be able to get through the books I already have anyway. I'd get like 4 books in a week and then read at a 1 book per week pace. But anyway, this month, I got Prodigy by Marie Lu. Is it just me, or do you get mixed up with the d and the g too? Probably just me, I always think it's Progidy. *Face palm*.

Lady Gaga has been gone for a really long time and I'm ready for her return. There's also still no official teaser but again, I'll try to update this post.

This week the only books I acquired are for the Books, Blood 'n Brains Read-A-Thon. I tried looking for all of them in the library but sadly, only found one. They had the second and third books in the Darkest Powers trilogy but of course, they didn't have the first. I wouldn't of been able to order the other books and get them shipped in time so instead I got the e-books.

Review: Skipping A Beat by Jordin Sparks

Genres: R&B, Pop, Dance-Pop
Released: 1 August 2013
RCA

It's been a really long time since Jordin Sparks has released anything new. I remember when I used to blast Battlefield all the time. That was all that way back in '09. Now, years later Jordin Sparks is back! I'm so excited. It's adorable because it's said that this song is dedicated to her man, Jason Derulo. Even better, his song The Other Side was dedicated to her as well. Come on? You have to admit that it's super sweet. This is my review for her latest single, Skipping A Beat.
Song:
This song has a really cool vibe. I love the R&B style that she's chosen. The snares at the beginning sound amazing. Afterwards, it starts to disappear and then a lovely piano beat comes in until they start to work together. It sounds absolutely amazing. The producing of the song is also flawless because even though Jordin's voice is beautiful, it needs that extra push.
Lyrics:
Of course, like I said before, the song is a love ballad for Jason Derulo so of course the lyrics are awesome. They left me swooning. The best lines in my opinion are:
"Boy I think I'm gonna need an ambulance
Cause you been doing my heart some damage"

Cheesy, I know but I just love those lines so much. The rest of the lyrics are pretty repetitive but as I said before, the good producing makes it okay.
Summary:
Give it a go guys. I'm waiting for her album to come out and I'm super excited. I have a feeling this song isn't the one she's trying to make super popular. I think there's going to be another release that is made to hit the charts.

Some of my absolute favourite this month include Burn and Hurricane. As always, I definitely recommend checking out all of these songs. I'm really disappointed by the amount of reviews I've done though. I hope to improve next month. If there are any songs that I should listen too, drop them in the comments. Today, because I'm super lazy, I'm ordering songs randomly because I can't be bothered to make them alphabetical.

Members: Kevin. Kwanghee. Siwan. Junyoung. Taeheon. Heechul. Minwoo. Hyungsik. Dongjun.

ZE:A aren't an extremely popular band and the only member anyone seems to know is Kwanghee. Honestly, I'm not a massive fan of them either but that doesn't mean that I'm not highly anticipating their album. Coming out next month is their new album Illusion. So far, all the teaser photos that have been released have a really cool concept. I'm waiting to see the teaser of their title track of course the album itself. ZE:A have been releasing songs for their subunits and now finally, their coming back with all nine members!

Stacking The Shelves #2: Pivot Point + Thy Will Be Done

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted on Tynga's Reviews. Basically you share what books you acquired that week whether it be physical or digital. All info here.

Last week, I had a massive book haul to show but like I said, that means I probably wouldn't have much anymore. I haven't had time to go to the library this week so if I do, tomorrow or in the following days, I'll include those books in my next Stacking The Shelves. Honestly though, my reading list has grown extensively and I'll have way too much to read for a long time. So today, I have a very little haul for you guys. Just two books. One I received for review and one I got the e-book for because I couldn't find it on my library's catalog. The e-book I downloaded was Pivot Point and it's for the Book BFFs group. I'm super excited!

Guest Post: Music+Writing by YA Author Taylor L. Stimac

Music and writing have always gone hand and hand for me. There is nothing like putting a playlist on shuffle and letting the first thing that fills your ears set the scene. So many times while writing my debut novel, Trusted, I would pop in my earbuds and just let the songs take me away. There is something freeing about letting the vibes of a good song work their magic through your words. Music has always served as an escape for me and it's no different when I'm writing.

There were many times while completing my novel that a particular song would captivate not only me, but the characters as well. While they weren't specifically named in the book itself, each song left it's imprint on the overall product. Below is the playlist that I worked up for Trusted. Each of these songs were scene setters that just wouldn't let go.

TRUSTED PLAYLIST

Taylor Swift                 Everything Has Changed

Weezer                                  Island In The Sun

Alice Cooper                                 School's Out

YB Mobstaz                                       Umbrella

Modest Mouse         Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes

Nirvana                                                Plateau

Foo Fighters                                   All My Life

Stone Sour                                 Through Glass

The Goo Goo Dolls                          Better Days

The White Stripes     We're Going To Be Friends

Music continues to inspire me as I write and I love sharing the songs that influence my characters.

How does music inspire you?

Movie Times!

Today, I'm introducing MOVIETIMES.COM.AU! Movie Times is a new site that is perfect for all the movie lovers out there. Basically, it combines all the cinemas in Australia so that you know what movies are available at what times and where. There are so many different book to movie adaptations that I really need to watch. Even though I haven't read The Host, World War Z or The Great Gatsby, they are all movies that I really want to watch. And then there are the movies that are coming soon. City of Bones and CATCHING FIRE! Both books I've read and have been waiting for. By the way, the trailers for both are amazing. I watched new the theatrical trailer for Catching Fire and now I'm even more pumped than I was before.

So now, with the introduction of Movie Times, I can make my pre movie watching experiences the easiest they can be. The website also works super well on mobile devices since it can detect your location as well. Basically, there are three ways to use this site.

When you click on 'Movies', you can scroll over one, you can view the details and the trailer. You can also click on 'Find Sessions' to of course find the perfect 'Date & Time' as well as 'Cinema & Location'. The other two options basically work the other way around. If you choose 'Date & Time', you can select one and it will show you the movies that will be airing at that time. The same goes for 'Cinema & Location'. Once this is all done and you've selected you time, it will take you the that cinema's site. Normally, you'd have to select all the details but in this case, it's all done for you. All you have to do is select which ticket you want, eg. Child, Adult etc. as well as things like your seat and how you want to pay.

Overall, I think Movie Times is a really easy to use and useful site. It's perfect for all you movie addicts out there. Also for all the people like me who need to watch the book to movie adaptations.

Review: Baby I by Ariana Grande

Genres: Pop, Dance, R&B
Released: 22 July 2013
℗ 2013 Universal Republic Records

Okay so today, I was so tempted to do a review on One Direction's Best Song Ever since the music video came out like 14 hours ago and is absolutely the funniest thing ever but I thought again. Instead, I decided to do a review on Ariana Grande's Baby I  which I felt as though would appeal to a bigger audience. Baby I definitely has a nice feel that I know would be enjoyed by people of all ages. Baby I will be apart of her debut album, Daydreamin', which I swear wasn't what it was going to be called a few days ago. The name's been changed quite a bit. Of course, I absolutely love this song but I love Ariana Grande over all.
Song:
Baby I has a very 90's feel. The first time I listened to the beginning, that was the first thing I thought of. I completely understand why people are saying Ariana is kind of like Mariah because her style of music is definitely similar. Her spectacular voice and the R&B emphasise the similarity even more. The song has a different vibe compared to her previous single The Way but I think the matureness suits her.
Lyrics:
Okay so the lyrics are super super repetitive but I can't expect any better anymore. Songs are like that these days and I think as long as the lyrics are nice, it's okay. The lyrics of this song definitely portray love in a lighter way. They express the feelings you feel when you first fall in love. I think it's really sweet. My favourite lines:
"When I try to explain it I be sounding insane
The words don’t ever come out right."
Summary:
Give it a try because Ariana Grande's voice is absolutely beautiful! I think a lot of you will like it. If you've already listened to it, you're awesome!

Review: Escaping Reality by Lisa Renee Jones

Infinite possibilities….
Infinite passion…..
Infinite danger….
His touch spirals through me, warm and sweet, wicked and hot. I shouldn't trust him. I shouldn't tell him my secrets. But how do I not when he is the reason I breathe? He is what I need.
At the young age of eighteen, tragedy and a dark secret force Lara to flee all she has known and loves to start a new life. Now years later, with a new identity as Amy, she’s finally dared to believe she is forgotten–even if she cannot forget. But just when she lets down her guard, the ghost’s of her past are quick to punish her, forcing her back on the run.
On a plane, struggling to face the devastation of losing everything again and starting over, Amy meets Liam Stone, a darkly entrancing recluse billionaire, who is also a brilliant, and famous, prodigy architect. A man who knows what he wants and goes after it. And what he wants is Amy. Refusing to take “no” as an answer, he sweeps her into a passionate affair, pushing her to her erotic limits. He wants to possess her. He makes her want to be possessed. Liam demands everything from her, accepting nothing less. But what if she is too devastated by tragedy to know when he wants more than she should give? And what if there is more to Liam than meets the eyes?

Escaping Reality is Lisa Renee Jones' new experiment with the New Adult genre. It is the first in The Secret Life of Amy Bensen series. It's basically a normal New Adult Contemporary Romance except it is a lot more than that. It explores the Erotica genre as well and incorporating it with a spy-esque feel. Guess what? Escaping Reality comes out today! For once, I'm doing a review at a somewhat normal time. I really loved this book. I haven't read much Erotica but I do know that this is different to the normal stuff. I gave this book a 4.5 STARS. It was pretty much perfect just not quite. Continue reading!

Characters:

I liked majority of the characters. Though in the story, not much information is given, I have a feeling that a lot more will be unleashed in the second book. The protagonist Amy was a pretty normal character. Sometimes, she was a bit annoying but I'll expand on that later. Liam was the classic super hot billionaire with a bunch of secrets and mysteries. What I really liked was the third character, Jared. I was glad that Liam and Jared didn't have a fight scene. I hope it stays that way because it'd good to know that not all male characters are violent. Another character was Meg and there's definitely something fishy about her. 

Pros:

The first page was confusing but after I read it twice it completely sucked me in. The writing wasn't extremely unique or different but that was okay because the concept made up for it. Super fast paced and jam packed with mystery, suspense and steamy hot scenes that had me glued to the book. Even though a lot of the book was revolved around sex, what I really enjoyed what the back story. Amy is running away from something she's not quite sure exists. I love that. The ending was alright too. Of course I won't spoil it but even though it kind of just ended, it was okay. It's nice to know that I'll get more of the story in the second book.

Cons:

Okay my only con is this. I know it happens all the time in Romances but I really get super annoyed when the girl thinks that the guy is the one being an ass. I understand that sometimes, guys can be over possessive but the girl really has to realise that she did something wrong too. I don't know, I'm just getting sick of these oblivious girls. I'm just glad this only occurred in a small part of the book which is why I only deducted half a star.

Summary:

Amazing read that has left me eagerly waiting for the next book. I really can't wait until it comes out because I need more. Thank you to the publisher for sending me an e-arc via Netgalley because I definitely needed this book in my life. As long as you don't get super annoyed, read this!

I'm so extremely excited for this song. Baby I by Ariana Grande. This will be the second single in her upcoming album Yours Truly that will be released early September. I absolutely loved The Way which is the first single from the album so I'm sure that I'll love this song. The official single artwork is beautiful and so is the snippet she released on Instagram. I totally squealed when I listened to it. I don't know if anyone else loves Ariana as much as I do but definitely listen to the sneak peak.

Today, I'm featuring B2ST's (BEAST) new album Hard To Love, How To Love. I really love B2ST and all their past albums and singles. I loved Midnight Sun, Fiction and more. So of course, I'm super excited for their comeback with Shadow in a few days. B2ST never fail to make me fall in love with their songs. It is said the MV for the title song will have a dark and masculine concept so I can't wait to watch that either. I can't seem to find the proper album cover or teaser so I'll be updating this post when those come out.

Update:
So the teaser just came out and OMG the fancy symbolic, metaphoric, colouristic, beautastical, wowness, of the scenes look super duper amazingly stunning!

Since this is a short read-a-thon, my goal is 3 books, one of them being an audiobook. I was already a couple pages in Ten Tiny Breaths by K.A. Tucker and I want to try to finish this months TBR by finishing Walking Disaster by Jamie McGuire and Crash by Nicole Williams.

Continue reading to see my progress and my challenges.

1. Which book you are most excited to read in the coming year? It can be already released or coming soon.

This was easy for me. I'm super duper excited for Allegiant by Veronica Roth because, who isn't?

2. Which book would you re-read if you had the time and weren't so busy reading ALL of the other good things?

I don't usually re-read boos but since it said 'weren't so busy reading ALL of the other good things', I would re-read The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay because it's probably my favourite book ever.

3. If you could meet any fictional character who would it be and why?

I probably have the strangest choice but I'd love to meet Ridley from the Caster Chronicles by Kami Garcia. If anyone has read it, you know that she's a b*tch but still, she's interesting.

Two books that I have being dying to read and would definitely bring with me are Shift by Em Baily and Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell.

I can bring my pantry right?

Favorite genre right now is YA/NA Contemporary Romance but it changes all the time.

Favorite book from YA/NA Contemporary Romance would be The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay.

I don't usually have favourite characters but I'd say Beth from Dare You To.

Wrap Up
I normally do my wrap ups in a whole different post but I figured this is probably a whole lot simpler. I had a slow start but I'm proud that I read 3 books in 3 days. All these read-a-thons are making me break a whole lot of records. It's barely a third of the month and I've already finished this month's TBR. In total, I read 899 pages if you convert my audiobook into pages. That's basically 300 pages a day. I'm lucky I'm holidays right now or I would've never been able to read that much. The challenges were also super fun. Since I live in Australia, the Twitter thingo isn't until Thursday. As I'm writing this, it's almost midnight Wednesday. I plan on participating though. Overall, a super fun experience.

Sit Tight Sunday #1: City of Bones Soundtrack

Today I have super exciting news. Well it's not that exciting but I'm pretty happy to be announcing a new blog feature. Basically, every Sunday, I'll be featuring something I'm waiting to come out. Now it's not necessarily a blog hop but if you'd like to join in, by all means do so. The reason I'm not participating in the Waiting on Wednesday blog hop is because it is targeted towards books and books only. Sit Tight Sunday is for me to be able to do music that I'm waiting for. If I ever felt like it, I could do a book as well and if your a blogger with a different theme, you can do anything. I've been neglecting music on my blog and this is my way of bringing it back. Like always, please don't be afraid to leave me recommendations because I'd really really love some. I want to listen to music that my readers listen to. If you have a genre or artist you love, let me know!
Welcome to Sit Tight Sunday by Music Plus Books.

For the very first Sit Tight Sunday, I'm featuring the City of Bones Soundtrack. Republic Records has released three sneak peek snippets of SoundCloud. What I'm most excited for is Demi Lovato's song Heart By Heart. The snippet proves that it will definitely be an absolutely wonderful song. The album will also have a song by Zedd called Into The Lair. It's definitely different to Clarity but I love EDM. I'm also anticipating Colbie Caillat's and Jessie J's songs. I guess you could call this a double feature since I'm also waiting for the City of Bones movie itself coming out in late August.
