Music Disappointments Of May 2013!

There aren't many songs that I wish I could've liked this month but there are a few. Most months, I just skip this post because I don't find many. I decided that five was enough. I'm going to sound really mean but I promise that I was just being honest. None of these songs are extremely terrible and I still urge you to check them out. These are only my opinions.

Songs I Wished I Could've Added To My Playlist:
Best Friends - Janoskians
I actually really like the Janoskians' videos even though they are really stupid. This is their second single and I was really excited until I listened to the lyrics. Also, their singing is reasonable but it's not enough for me.
"Best friends, you are my f*cking best friends. 
Honestly, this is the best night ever. 
And this song, I'm really feeling this song. 
Honestly, the f*cking best night ever."

Live It Up (feat. Pitbull) - Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez and Pitbull were the dream team when they did On The Floor but this was too much of the same. The parts that were unique just didn't make up for it. I think the only part I enjoyed was when no one was rapping or singing. There was this one part where JLO was just talking and that was kind of weird for me.

#Beautiful (feat. Miguel) - Mariah Carey
Who doesn't love Mariah Carey? I love her too but I just didn't like this song. I'm not sure why because everything about the song is quite nice. I think it's a little bit to soft for me. It doesn't have that part where I just break out and start singing. There's nothing exciting to lead up to.

Blurred Lines (feat. T.I & Pharrell) - Robin Thicke
There's been a big hype going around this month. I don't know why, I just don't like the style of the music. I think the lyrics are just a little stupid. "You dah hottest girl in dah world." Yeah, I don't know. I can see why the song can be really catchy but the lyrics ruin it for me. At first, I'll nod my head to it, then I'll listen to it and be like uuuh ew. The lyrics are ruining a lot of songs for me huh?

Book Disappointment Of April 2013!

Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea.
America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide.
Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

What can I say? I give this book 3.5 STARS but that's me being extremely generous. I absolutely loved the first book and did a review a while back. This wasn't necessarily a bad book, just a very big disappointment. The story was good, it was well written, it was fast paced, everything was fine except for one thing. The most important thing. I hated America's attitude so much. If anyone has watched Boys Over Flowers, I hate America for the same reasons I hated Jandi. The most amazing guy loves you and don't treat him well?! He gives you everything and you can't even be respectful?! It's such an easy and obvious choice I see no point of the love triangle. Oh I don't know if I want Maxon or Aspen. Oh I want to change the world but I'm just going to get eliminated instead of marrying Prince Maxon and changing it for real. I just don't see her deal. It took the whole book for her to realize she was wrong. Jeez, took you long enough. If she ends up with Maxon in the next book, alright, a good series and I recommend it but if not, I'm taking The Selection out of my favourite books of all time. I don't want to recommend the first book if the rest is bad. Sorry for ranting but overall the book wasn't that bad. I guess I did feel a bit sorry for America but I can't help but love Maxon. Read this series if you have time but there are definitely better books you can read for now.

Book Disappointment Of February 2013!

  Thanks to Connor, Lev, and Risa—and their high-profile revolt at Happy Jack Harvest Camp—people can no longer turn a blind eye to unwinding. Ridding society of troublesome teens while simultaneously providing much-needed tissues for transplant might be convenient, but its morality has finally been brought into question. However, unwinding has become big business, and there are powerful political and corporate interests that want to see it not only continue, but also expand to the unwinding of prisoners and the impoverished. Cam is a product of unwinding; made entirely out of the parts of other unwinds, he is a teen who does not technically exist. A futuristic Frankenstein, Cam struggles with a search for ...

So I realize that its only halfway through the month but I'm doing this now because I don't wanna jinx it. Maybe if I post this now, I won't have to read any more disappointing books for at least the rest of the month right? Also I don't want to write a complete review on this but I do want to tell you why I was extremely disappointed with this book. So here it is:
UnWholly - Neal Shusterman
3 STARS
This is the sequel to Unwind. I really liked the first book which is why I had such high hopes for UnWholly. I loved the characters and their development. I loved the writing and the storyline. Unfortunately, in UnWholly I absolutely hated the characters. There was character development but not enough to make me satisfied. The book is written in different points of views which is why you can really get into the character's minds. On the bright side, I guess that the characters being - insert rude word - makes them more realistic but honestly, even if I did meet somebody like the characters in real life, I would hate them. Maybe I'm just hateful but they really did piss me off with their ignorance, stubbornness, stupidity, and craziness.
But, the good parts were that I still liked the characters that were in the first book, I still liked the writing and the storyline. Overall, okay book, but I can't give it more than 3 STARS.

Have you read it? What did you think?
