Top Ten Books Contemporary Books I Can't Believe I Haven't Read

Contemporary books are by far my favorite.  I read that genre more than any other, but there are books I've missed over the years that I still can't believe I haven't read yet.

I've been wanting to read this forever, I just never found the time.  It's supposed to be a classic, and it's shameful that I haven't read it.

I am making it a goal to read this book this year.  I've heard nothing but amazing things about it.

This is one of those books that slipped my attention when it came out, but the reviews are great.  I have become more curious in the last year.

I like everything Maureen Johnson has written. I haven't gotten to her most popular and well known books yes.  Hopefully soon.

I've read everything that both Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian have written, and I will continue to do so. For some reason I haven't read their collaboration series yet.

Jennifer E. Smith is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, and yet I haven't found the time to read this early work by her.

I put this one here, but really I've only read 3 of Ellen Hopkins books.  With is terrible considering that I really like every one I have read.

Another one of my favorite authors, and yet I somehow missed reading this one.  I bought it as soon as it came out, and yet I never got around to it.

I put Winger on this list, but the shameful truth is that I haven't read a single book by Andrew Smith.  I have heard nothing but good things about this book, as well as many of his other works, I just haven't found the time.

Another one of my favorite authors, and yet another book I didn't get around to reading.  I need to prioritize this one.

Top Ten Eight Books People Have Been Telling You That You MUST Read

This is really hard because almost nobody tells me that I must read a book.  I am usually the one that doles out recommendations.  But here are my best efforts.

I've been told that this book is awesome and that I would love it.  I will get to it eventually.

I've read the first couple of books in the Mortal Instruments series, and I've been told these are just as good.

 This week was pretty slow, but I've really been making an effort to cut down on what I'm buying.  Those $2.99 nook books really add up.
