Top Ten Tuesday is a meme created by The Broke and the Bookish
This is another hard Top Ten for me. So instead I’m choosing to portrait the best contemporary
romances (no paranormal things involved) I’ve read as it is difficult for me to
compare Sarah Dessen’s books to anything else :)
Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han
Love and Leftovers by Sarah Tregay
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Breathe by Abbi Glines
Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles
The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson
Leaving Paradise series by Simone Elkeles
Great list! I really like LOVE AND LEFTOVERS. It was a really really cute book. I also loved Leaving Paradise, even though I think when compared to Dessens' books Elkeles' books are a bit too steamy...
ReplyDeleteOh man - thanks for posting! So many of my students love Sarah Dessen but I'm just not a big fan so I struggle to come up with recommendations! This is perfect! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice list! I have about 3 Sarah Dessen books on my shelf that I actually haven't even read yet. All the books on this list are already on my to-read list though and I've heard good things about just a bout all of them :P
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge fan of contemporary YA books, but I've got quite a few you mentioned on my list of books to be read - like Statistical Probability. I'll have to check out the others too :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you try some of them, specially Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins :)
DeleteThanks for your comment :)
We did the same theme for Top Ten Tuesday! We had two similar books, and I guess I'll have to check out the other ones that you listed! Here's my TTT: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com/2012/07/top-ten-tuesday-books-for-people-who.html
ReplyDeleteI love Sarah Dessen and I have read quite many of these already, but I will definitely check out the ones I haven't. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah Dessen was popular this week! I'm cOnvinced that Dessen and Han were separated at birth because their books are just filled so much of the same awesome! :) There are a few on your list I haven't read so I'm going to have to add them to my never ending To Read list!! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI how you do try some of them, as I love them all :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteThis is a really good list. It's sad but I've only read 3 books ffrom this list. Perfect Chemistry (OMG I LOVE this book!) and both Stephanie Perkins books. (so good too!)
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Breathe by Abbi Glines, I love the new cover. I've never read a Sarah Dessen book either, which one is your favorite of hers?
Anna and the French Kiss was fantastic! Great list :)
ReplyDeleteI love Sarah Dessen so this list is perfect for me. I have TSPOLAFS and TFiOs so I'll start with those.
