What to Read is a little post I'll do every Friday. It was started when a commenter asked me what my favorite Civil War books are. Obviously, I can't feature Civil War books each week but I can to a new topic...and this week's topic is:
CONTEMPORARIES!
Ones I want to read, and ones I'd recommend!
Favorite Contemps:
Well, anything by Sarah Dessen but these three are my favorite! These three are my favorites, though and I can't wait till she has a new book coming out!
Moonglass by Jessi Kirby is also an amazing contemp. I LOVE this book. The writing was amazing, the plot was slow yet engrossing and the characters made me feel all warm and smiley. I can't wait to read more from Kirby.
I read Fixing Delilah over the summer and I could not stop thinking about it. Sarah Ockler has amazing, amazing writing and the characters paired with her writing just shined.
Amy and Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson! I just feel so awesome whenever I think about this book. I felt such a special connection to the characters and the places they went. READ THIS!
How could I not mention this book!? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! It doesn't come out till October 4, so watch for my review!
Other notable mentions: You Wish by Mandy Hubbard, so cute!
Flawless by Lara Chapman, adorable!

I love Sarah Dessen. I think she is one of the best (if not the best) contemporary writers. Her characters are amazing. Another contemporary writer I love is Melina Marchetta. She is another one that has the most realistic characters that deal with common issues.
You can't go wrong with Sarah Dessen! I loved Moonglass and Past Perfect, too. :) Thanks for the recommendations!
