Abigail H. Leskey Sorry, C.B., I don't really read enough Christian contemporary books to know which are best :)


message 2: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Storm it, need to read the title before I go adding votes. Someone smack me.

XD I've done that sooo many times before.

Abigail H. wrote: "Sorry, C.B., I don't really read enough Christian contemporary books to know which are best :)"

:) That's kind of the point of this, just your favorites. I find it hard to find really good contemporary, which is why I made the list.


message 4: by Kendra (last edited Sep 15, 2015 02:18PM) (new)

Kendra Ardnek So I just added the only real christian contemporary that I've read and loved but ... um, what's all the christian fantasy doing on here? I can kinda get the Dragons in our Midst series, but I know for a fact that Goldstone Woods is NOT contemporary.

And I just noticed Sarah's comment.

C.B., I believe that as the list creator, you have the power to remove anything that doesn't fit the list. Also, decide whether or not Contemporary fantasy counts or not, because if it does, I'll vote on the DioM series.

Yeup. Thaaaat was me. Like I said, I need to pay more attention to things . . . sorry. *hides*

"XD I've done that sooo many times before."

Heh. Glad I'm not the only one.


message 6: by C.B. (new)

C.B. Cook Contemporary Fantasy is fine with me. ;) I think the voters have to delete it, but I'll have to check...


message 7: by Kendra (new)

Kendra Ardnek I know another list I voted on had the creator remove one of my books because it was slightly off topic.


message 8: by Sarah (new)

Sarah C.B. wrote: "Contemporary Fantasy is fine with me. ;) I think the voters have to delete it, but I'll have to check..."

I cannot delete the books I added. I just checked.

Also: the CotB series is in a sort of few-years-into-the-future setting, so I'm not sure it counts or not.


message 9: by Kendra (new)

Kendra Ardnek I think that if you remove your vote and no one else has voted on them, they'll disappear. I'm not sure on that one though.


message 10: by Merenwen (new)

Merenwen Inglorion Just to be clear: Christian contemporary are typically stories set in a more real world/historical fiction type of setting, and not a fantasy world like Goldstone Wood/Narnia, right? *feels rather silly for having to ask* :P


message 11: by Kendra (new)

Kendra Ardnek Contemporary is fiction set in the modern day real world.


message 12: by Sarah (new)

Sarah Kendra wrote: "I think that if you remove your vote and no one else has voted on them, they'll disappear. I'm not sure on that one though."

That did not seem to work, unfortunately- I removed my votes as soon as I took another look at the list.

C.B. Cook Merenwen wrote: "Just to be clear: Christian contemporary are typically stories set in a more real world/historical fiction type of setting, and not a fantasy world like Goldstone Wood/Narnia, right? *feels rather ..."

Yes, modern day fiction. So instead of Lord of the Rings, it would be... *tries really hard to think of a famous Christian contemporary book* Okay, fine, The Fault in our Stars. *throws up*

If there's a way to remove books, I have no clue... :P That's fine, I think most of the fantasy ones have negative votes, so eventually they'll move off the page, when more votes are added.


message 14: by Rebecca (new)

Rebecca Only GR librarians can remove books from lists.


message 15: by C.B. (new)

C.B. Cook Ah ha! I thought so. And I am not one of those. :P


message 16: by H.M.R. (new)

H.M.R. *turns bright red* oh I thought it meant new books! Oops sorry


message 17: by C.B. (new)

C.B. Cook XD That's understandable.


message 18: by Elisha (new)

Elisha Andres Well, i don't read much of Christian Contemporary either...so you know what I voted :D


message 19: by C.B. (new)

C.B. Cook XD Awww, thank you! Your comment made me smile. :D


message 20: by ashley (new)

ashley elliott Whoa, I can't believe my book is above Lizzy and Jane. Half of me is happy and half of me is like, "Nonono, guys, Lizzy and Jane is soooo much better!" XD


message 21: by C.B. (new)

C.B. Cook Same here! ;) Seeing mine right below Dear Mr. Knightley is soooo awesome. :D
