Removed Alienated, since that is clear cut science fiction. Katie (or anyone else), what do you think about Pandemic and My Not So Super Sweet Life? Should they be taken off?
Pandemic looks science fiction from the description, and My Not So Super Sweet Life does say that it's time travel, so I think those should probably be removed.
Thanks Katie! I removed those for you.What do you think about Ask Again Later? It's contemporary, but it kind of verges on fantasy since there are parallel stories that play out as alternate realities.
I'm not sure about Ask Again Later. I feel like that book is completely contemporary except for one small thing (the alternate realities), and I don't think it really is science fiction either.
Yeah, it's a tough one. Ask Again Later seems more like contemporary to me than anything else.Removed these....
No Returns
Uncovering Cobbogoth
Both were clear cut fantasy novels.
What about that Learning to Love a Rogue book? It's got 3 votes, but it doesn't seem to be either contemporary *or* YA.
Ok, this list had gotten to be a huge mess, so I spent some time cleaning it up. It's frustrating that so many people completely ignore what the list is supposed to be for.Removed these for wrong publication year....

Right-Hearted: Finding What's Right With a Wrong-Sided Heart (memoir)
Are memoirs allowed on this list? I was assuming it was for contemporary fiction only, but didn't want to remove without asking.
I also removed Burn for Burn. I hope you don't mind. I just get annoyed when people add books to my lists that don't belong.
Maybe it would be a good idea to change the description of this list and add a definition for contemporary? So many people seem to think paranormal books belong. And perhaps specify that the list is only intended for books with a *first* publishing date of 2014.Also did some housekeeping....
