I have been really wanting to get into some contemporary but since I'm not someone who ever reads books in that genre, I don't know where to look and what to buy.

Do you guys have any Contemporary Books that you think I should try? Thanks.

No problem. I read all of those this year when I tried contemporary. I kind of read a bit of everything, but I wanted to read more contemporary this year.

Out of all of those, I might like How to Love the most because it seems the most real.

I will be definitely purchasing How To Love when I go to B&N on the 26th! So excited!

Irene (raenne) Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits, #1) by Katie McGarry is one of my favorites.
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson isn't that good imo, but a lot of people likes it, so maybe you will as well.

I haven't read Flat-Out Love (Flat-Out Love, #1) by Jessica Park but I've heard really good things about it

I do too. I only get a paperback if I know I'm taking it somewhere it could be ruined.

Really anything by Sarah Ockler is good. I forgot to add one of my favorites.

I'm just going to make my next book order to be just Contemporary... there's just so many I now want to get.

I will definitely get Anna & The French Kiss, Pushing The Limits & the rest of that series, How To Love, Slammed & a couple other Colleen Hoover books.. and etc.

Have you read any of Colleen Hoovers books? Is she any good or is she a new to you author as well?

I would recommend: Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green

I got it as a Xmas present and really enjoyed it. It's one of those books that totally pulls off being about real life (not a fantasy or adventure book) but is still interesting and SO emotional - hard to achieve, I think. Definitely worth the read. :)

Jessica Just One Wish by Janette Rallison it was a cute & funny. A fast read too.

Shelby | 8 comments From Fame to Shame by Veronica Blade Wait for You (Wait for You, #1) by J. Lynn Perfect Chemistry (Perfect Chemistry, #1) by Simone Elkeles Beautiful Disaster (Beautiful, #1) by Jamie McGuire The Boy Who Sneaks in My Bedroom Window by Kirsty Moseley

I agree with Pushing The Limits and Hopeless. Both great books!

I've been wanting to get my hands on that forever now. I requested an ARC of it through multiple places, but I didn't get it, and now I'm just waiting on a paycheck so I can grab it from Target.
