Since my participation in the Debut Author Challenge has been so fun this year (and greatly expanded my reading), I’m joining in to the one year Contemps Challenge. This post will be my starting and ending line, so you won’t be inundated with posts. This is the work of contemporary teen authors getting their work out there and known, and as any casual reader of the blog knows, contemporary is my FAVORITE genre. If you’re interested in joining, make sure you click the link on Contemps Challenge to learn more. The goal is to read 18 of the 21 titles listed below. Links go to reviews!
