Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books To Read if You're Book Club Likes Contemporary YA Fiction.

Happy Tuesday Guys!

I'm super excited to be here today participating in Top Ten Tuesday again. :)

If you're not familiar with Top Ten Tuesday, it's a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and The Bookish and here's the link to their page if you're interested in learning more about it:

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books To Read If You're Book Club Likes____(if you're book club likes historical fiction, inspiring stories, YA books, non-fiction, controversial books to debate about, or pick a specific book).

Since YA is my favorite genre, and everyone knows I'm the queen of reading contemporaries, I decided to use YA contemporary fiction as my picks for this week.

Here's the ten books I'd recommend:


1) Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins:


I couldn't recommend YA contemporaries without choosing my favorite book of all time. On top of this being one of the cutest romances ever, it's set in Paris, and has an extremely lovable cast of characters. I can't stress enough just how much I love this book.


2) The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han:



There's just something about this beautiful novel that has it always being a favorite choice of mine for a reread. I love Jenny Han's writing style, the beach town setting, and the adorable brothers fighting for Belly's attention.


3) Second Chance Summer by Morgan Matson:



Even though you definitely need to have tissues ready for when you read this book, it's a beautiful story that I think would be the perfect read for a book club. Especially for summer meetings. 


4) My Life With The Walter Boys by Ali Novak:


One prim and proper girl who's about to learn some harsh realities about life when she's forced to move in with twelve boys. Well eleven actual boys, and one tomboy if you want to get technical. One of my all time favorite contemporaries, and definitely a great choice for discussion at a book club meeting.



5) Lovestruck In London by Rachel Schurig:



This would be an ideal pick for an abroad romance. On top of it taking place in glorious London, it's a charming romance story, and it's a "famous person falls for the regular person" type of storyline. I truly adore this one.




6) The Statisitical Probablility Of Love At First Sight by Jennifer E Smith:



Really any of Jennifer E Smith's books would be great picks for a YA contemporary read, but I'm going to go with my favorite. What could be a better book for discussion than a chance meeting, family issues, and another abroad romance. :)


7) Crash Into You by Katie McGarry:



This would be my pick if you're book club is looking for something a little less sweet, and perhaps a little more spicy. Katie McGarry's novels are always the perfect choice for this category, and Crash Into You is my personal fave. 



8) Whatever Life Throws At You by Julie Cross:



On top of this being a sizzling, sassy romance YA contemporary romance about a seventeen year old girl who falls for one of the ball players on her dad's professional team. It's also one of very few YA books I've read that portrays an awesome relationship between the main character and her father, and this is one of my all time favorite reread novels. 


9) The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen:


I love how Sarah Dessen's novels always dive into a wide range of serious topics facing real teens today, but somehow she still manages to throw in the perfect amount of humor to have you laughing out loud at the same time. The Truth About Forever is my favorite novel by her, and I'd love the chance to get to read and discuss this one with a book club someday.



10) The Distance Between Us by Kasie West:



My last pick is a novel by another one of my favorite contemporary authors, Kasie West. The Distance Between Us is a heartwarming novel about a teenage girl who falls for a guy from a vastly different social status than she's currently in, and has to learn how to deal with her insecurities over her own situation in the process. 



And those would be the ten novels I would personally recommend to any book club that loves Contemporary YA Fiction. 


Thanks for reading guys, and I can't wait to see which books everyone else chose this week. :)

Announcing My Temporary Hiatus From Book Blogging

  Hello all my sweet bookish lovelies :) I pray you all had a lovely Christmas, and are looking forward to having a wonderful New Year's as well. I've shared a little bit of info over the past few months on my blog about why I wasn't around as often, but now it's time to share with you all exactly what that is. My hubby and I found out we were expecting earlier this year, and we had the immense pleasure of welcoming our precious baby boy into the world this month. Because of this, I've decided to take a temporary step back from book blogging and reviewing, while I adjust to being a first time mom to a newborn. I will definitely be back blogging in some form or another, but not sure at this point exactly when that will be as my little man deserves all of his mommy's attention right now. I thank you guys all for being a part of another wonderful year here on The Preppy Book Princess, and I look forward to jumping back into the Christian book community sometime in ...

A Refuge in Montana by Allie Pleiter Review

  Happy Monday My Sweet Bookish Friends :) It's been awhile, how have you all been doing? Originally, I had hoped to be back doing at least semi regular book reviews by now, and since I had an author offer me an ARC copy right around when I wanted to start trying again, I figured I'd give it a go. Unfortunately, I've been dealing with some health complications post partum (which I really don't want to go into at the moment), and my energy is just not where it needs to be at this point. I'm excited to get to share this review with you all as I did enjoy the title and would love to tell you more about it, but this will be my only review for awhile, at least until we can get everything figured out with my health. With that being said, let's dive right into today's review, but first if you'd like to check out my reviews of the previous titles in the series, you can do so using the links below: Rescue on the Farm A Montana Sized Secret Otherwise, keep on read...

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books.
