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*.

Music Review: Excuse My Rude (feat. Becky G) by Jessie J

Genre: Pop, Urban
Released: 12 August 2013
℗ Universal Republic Records

Once again, Jessie J is back with another single from her upcoming album. I haven't seen much of Becky G but I do know that she's a young teenage rapper who's ready to burst into the scene. I loved that they collaborated to make Excuse My Rude. Also, today, I'm introducing my new rating system for my music reviews! Basically, I've picked out the five things that I think are the most important things that define a good song. Here is my rating for Excuse My Rude.

Along with my new rating system, I've banished my old boring subtitles which now allows me to more freely express myself. So first things first, I love the beginning so much. I can't even explain how amazing it is. It's that type of beat that makes you want to do body rolls. The production is spectacular as well. Without it, I don't think the vocals and melody would make up for it. Either way though, the melody is really catchy with a nice steady to fast tempo. At different points, the tempo slows down quite a bit but I think the changing tempos make it wow.

Jessie J doesn't have amazing singing power but it's not bad either. It's nice, just not special but Becky G's rapping really makes up for it. The lyrics are actually quite empowering. It's about not giving in to a man who's doing bad things. It's about a woman standing up for herself.
"I've held it in
But it's time you know the truth
Excuse my rude
But I really ... hate you."

As you can see from how I rated it, I loved this urban and pop infused song. It's super fierce, fun and catchy. Check out the lyric video below.

Feature and Follow Friday #15: Tricks Learnt + Last Time

Feature and Follow Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
Click here for more info!

Q: Share something you’ve learned about book blogging or just blogging in general in the last month.

I've learnt many many things in the process of blogging. In the past month, I've learnt how to do things such as the slider that features my latest posts. It was excruciatingly hard but it wasn't too bad. I know, paradox but it was only hard because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my blog. My experience with blogging has been amazing because I've learnt how to do so many things with blog design. I'm Asian, which makes me really cheap, which means I still have yet to pay someone to do my blog design. I'm guess I'm glad I never did though because otherwise, I would've never learnt how to do things like my blockquote, slider and how to use Photoshop CS6. Just while I'm talking about blog design, just a reminder that I offer free blog designing for all the simple stuff. If there are any elements on my blog that you'd like to see on yours, feel free to contact me.

I know that weekly memes are meant to be forever. I feel really bad 'quitting' but at this point, I don't want to continue doing the Feature and Follow Friday posts. I still and always will follow back anyone who lets me know that they have a blog. Nowadays, I have so many posts that I have to do and this post takes up a day of what could be a different post. I don't like posting too much on one day. Once again, I will still follow back everyone because I love my followers, I've just decided that I don't want to do these posts again. Farewell guys. Especially to Jessica @ a GREAT read who manages to leave a comment on every single one of these posts.

You can continue to leave comments on this post and I will follow you back.
