Contemporary Fiction – Top 5 Tuesday

Contemporary fiction is not my usual genre (I think you guys can all guess that’s fantasy, followed by sci-fi), but sometimes you just need a good, fluffy break between expansive world building and epic space operas. So I pulled together my favourite five contemporary books (and as usual it was really tough because there are a lot of good ones out there, but I actually stuck to the five I was supposed to.)

Top 5 Tuesday is a weekly meme that the lovely Bionic Bookworm does. If you are interested in doing any of her topics on your blog she welcomes it! Don’t forget to check out her upcoming topics if you’re interested in participating in future Top 5’s! Be sure to check out her post here!

Contemporary Fiction:

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

Eliza and Her Monsters by Francesca Zappia

To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

    Eliza and Her Monsters almost made my list! I really liked it! I loved how art was such a big part of her personality and how she made friends with people online opposed to in real life. That’s a lot like me 🙂 Great list!
    Thanks so much for participating – added you to the list!

      Oh yeah, I definitely related as well. I think that’s how a lot of us are and it’s usually not put out there as the norm.

    Eliza is certainly a brilliant contemporary. SO MANY FEELS. Anna and the French Kiss was quite good as well. Wonderful picks, Kyera, and I think I need to get on a few!

      I feel like I might not like Anna as much on a reread just because of the cheating, but in my head it’s precious and French.

        I agree. That’s why I’ve been postponing reading it again for that reason. But yes, it is precious XD

        You’ll have to let me know what you think if you do reread it.

        Yes! I always did prefer Lola, though, from the start. I’ve been trying to find a copy of it for a long time, though, because I was planning on rereading the series, but alas, a hardcover is hard to find. XD

        They don’t have them on amazon? The online land of magical things?

        They probably do, but I’m feeling cheap. XD I hunt Book Outlet for it, and it’s forever sold out in two seconds, lol.

        I AM SHOCKED. It is a delightful place. I go on binges there. I will say that it does have some rather good prices.

        I know I’ve heard about it a lot, but they all just kind of bleed together in my head. Book depository.. book outlet..

        Ahahahaha, ik. They all do blend together. I’ll tell you if they have any good sales every once in a while to maybe eventually check it out.
