After talking with Kayla at The Thousand Lives and learning she isn’t, or more accurately now, wasn’t, a fan of contemporary books I decided to do a spin on that for today’s Top Ten Tuesday. Instead of me suggesting books for a certain person I decided to like of 10 books I would suggestion to dystopian/fantasy/sci-fi lovers that would get them interested in Contemporary books. And then I did 10 books for contemporary lovers that would get them interested in other worlds.
Anna and the French Kiss/Divergent/The Distance Between Us/Shadowlands/If I Stay/Splintered/What Happens Next/Altered/Delirium/Something Like Normal/The Program/Twenty Boy Summer/The Selection/Fangirl/Juliet Immortal/Parallel/Shatter Me/Second Chance Summer/Pivot Point

Wow this was ambitious of you!! Very well thought out list! I totally agree about Shadowlands. I’m a contemporary fan who fears most of the fantasy and dystopian and paranormal genres. But I loved Shadowlands… even though it kind if tricked me into thinking it was contemporary for 99% of the book. Then I read the 2nd book and I was totally feeling the different world thing 🙂 I might try some of you other suggestions too… like Splintered, The Program, and/or Delirium. Those all sound cool!

Oh, I like what you did here! I’ve read some of these and want to read others, like IF I STAY, THE PROGRAM, and JULIET IMMORTAL. Great list!

The Distance Between Us was one of my favorites of the year. It’s on of those books that I have to hug. I like how it was mostly light but still dealt with a heavy topic (ish) in a palatable way.

Amazing list! I either want to read these books or I’ve read and loved them. 🙂
I was scrolling through your list and I was like…ok I see Anna but where is Pivot Point…then I saw it there at the end. I knew this list of yours wouldn’t be complete without it. lol
Love how you did this. I always love when people go a tad bit rogue on TTT. 😉
My TTT is here.
I love what you did here! Great job and fantastic choices. 🙂

Ooh, such a fun list!! I really really really need to read Second Chance Summer. I’ve been dying to read it since I read and loved Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour, and I own it, but it’s just sitting on my shelf! D:
Also: love what you did with Delirium, haha. XD
Wow this is a really great list! I love both, contemporary and more dystopian, sci-fi books. I’ve loved loads of these myself – Divergent and If I Stay especially. There’s also loads on here that are on my TBR list or Xmas wishlist – especially The Program, it looks amazing. My TTT.
I love your list!!!!!!

Aha! It was contemporary! I’m glad I’m the guinea pig for your post 😉 And I think you’ve already had an influence on me, because most of those books are already on my shelves waiting to be read, or are on my wish list.
Cool idea for a list! I love Amy & Roger’s Epic Detour.
