Contemporary Summer: July 2012

Hello darlings! I want to tell you about an event that will be going on on my blog throughout the whole of July! Contemporary Summer will be hosted by me and Liz over at Planet Print and will be a celebration of all things contemporary YA! At the moment Liz is battling both a fatal illness (I joke, I joke she has a cold or something) and stressful final exams, but she will be doing her own post once she is free better and has finished her exams!

I've been very much a paranormal fiction girl for a long time, despite reading a lot of contemp fiction as a teen, so this is a chance for me to branch out, read some of the amazing contemp out there and rediscover my love for this genre!

We'll have reviews, recommendations, a Road Trip week and a host of other stuff going on during the event!

And on that note, we need your help my bloggy loves.

We want to feature blogger's contemp recommendations, in three separate categories:

Favourite Contemporary Reads

Most Underrated  Contemporary Reads

Most Anticipated/Favourite so far 2012 Contemporary Reads

along with a few words/sentences about your choices! We would LOVE it if you could take the time to email me (caitlinhlomasATgmailDOTcom) so we can feature you and your picks in our lists!

I would also like to know, if you could take a road trip to/around anywhere in the world, where would you pick?

It would also be totally immense if any of you would want to do a few sentences, or a guest post on something to do with contemporary fiction; either it's appeal, or general gushiness about your favourite reads, or anything else you can think of! We really want to involve the blogging community in this =]

Hope you're as excited as we are for this festival of contemporary goodness!
