Most books that I read and review fall under the paranormal, fantasy and dystopian genre pool. I’m fond of reading extraordinary stories and mythology-related tales. But in my almost one year of blogging, I’ve learned to love some contemporary novels of 2010 like The Julian Game by Adele Griffin, Winter Longing by Tricia Mills, Sing Me to Sleep by Angela Morrison and Songs for a Teenage Nomad by Kim Culbertson! For this reason, I’ve decided to give this a shot and join her challenge. Maybe it’s time for me to appreciate another face of YA.
My good blogger friend, Reggie from the Undercover Booklover is hosting 2011 Young Adult Contemporary Challenge! She listed some of the upcoming contemporary releases of 2011, you can use that as a guide.
The Details:
What is contemporary? It's the genre wherein the events can happen in real life at the present time. The characters in the novel can be present in real life.
Goal: To read a minimum of thirteen young adult contemporary novels published in 2011.

I confess, I am a huge fan of contemporary fiction, too. So I decided to participate in this awesome reading challenge. Heehee
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Precious! I too mainly read paranormal and dystopian, but the contemporary ones I have read have been brilliant. With the likes of Simone Elkeles, Sarah Dessen, Sara Zarr, Lucy Christopher... just some of the authors who's contemp books I've loved. I hope you have fun reading!
