I ended up getting a lot of reading done over the long holiday weekend.
My husband and I did some traveling and I am one of those terrible people who lets their spouse drive the whole time while they relax and nap or read or basically just be useless and whose husband is so wonderful that he doesn't mind.
Here are some of the reviews for the items I completed. Really was a great reading weekend.
ALSO: don't forget! My giveaway ends in 2 days so make sure to get those entries submitted and check out my review for OMNI by Andrea Murray!
THE FADE OUT by ED Brubaker and Sean Phillips
Actual rating 3.5.
I did not love this. I also didn't hate it.
I am a big fan of Noir film and writing and although the art elements were there I just could not get into the story as much as I would have liked and would have enjoyed seeing more depth from the characters.
This is only the first Volume but I might not continue on since it was just okay for me.

LOSING IT by: Cora Carmack
Actual rating: 4.25 or 4.5
Seriously a quick, fast and wonderful read.
As the title indicates it is about a 22 year old girl who wants to finally get rid of her V-card.
The writing was fun and fast paced. The characters were easy to relate to and really seemed the ages they represented in the books.
They were really people I could have seen myself knowing in college.
I am not a huge theater buff but I didn't feel like those elements of the story were overpowering so I could still relate to the story line throughout.
Overall, I thought the love interest was great and the sex scenes were minimal in terms of a New Adult.
If you like college romances and enjoy the new adult genre as a whole I think you will really enjoy this quick and cute read.
EVERYTHING EVERYTHING by Nicola Yoon
Last but certainly not least check out this amazingly beautiful cover for this book!
Actual rating: 5 ***************'s
Seriously.
Stop what you are doing. Go to wherever you do you book shopping and PREORDER this book.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from Random House Childrens, Delacorte Press, and netgalley.com.
I love getting review books but in all my time receiving them I have never read a book I have loved as much as this one.
Lets talk cover. Absolutely beautiful. Also, completely relevant to the story.
This book is about a "bubble girl." The main character has a disease that basically keeps her air locked into her house.
She has a physician for a mother, a nurse that takes care of her every need, she studies online and tries to live as normal of a life as possible while having no friends in the outside world.
Until one day a new family moves in next door. The cute neighbor boy starts communicating by emails and they hit it off.
Of course this being a contemporary there is a very sweet romance but this books isn't only about that.
There are a lot of family dynamics for both the main character and the love interest.
One comes from an abusive family and one lost their dad and brother to a driver who fell as asleep at the wheel.
Overall, I think the relationships and characters are really what set this book apart.
I could relate to certain aspects of the family issues and to being young and in love but more than anything I could relate with the main character wanting to explore and be adventurous and a part of being young and traveling and making mistakes.
Seriously, this was just a really great book.
