Well well, my fellow Bout of Book-ers! You have landed at THE CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGE!

Are you ready? I think you are!  Let's do this...

For this challenge, I will ask you several questions:

• Choose your favorite contemporary of 2012 (thus far)
• Choose your favorite contemporary COVER of 2012 (thus far)
• and explain your biggest *SURPRISE* contemporary book of this year..

Here's my responses:

Favorite Contemporary thus far is: Pushing the Limits By Katie McGarry

My favorite cover is My Life Next Door (seen left) by Huntley Fitzpatrick

and my SURPRISE contemporary would have to be     Something Like Normal by Trish Doller.  I didn't think I would like the male persepctive, but in FACT,  I adored it!  I'd love to read more from a male point of view!

The prize will be a copy of CATCHING JORDAN by Mirana Keneally
