Contemporary Appreciation Day!

Happy Valentines Day!!

I don't really do anything special on Valentines Day, but I choose to be excited anways because today's the perfect day to read contempories! Of course any day is a good day to read contemporaries because escapism and raised standards for love are awesome right?!

Also...did anyone notice my blog redesign? I've actually been wanting to redesign it for a long time but every design I made looked worse than the one before it but I'm satisfied with this one for now!

Ok, so onto the post the contemporary appreciation!

💖Comfort Rereads

Comfort rereads are pretty specific to each person, so I'm not gonna be like "HERE YOU GO! SOME CONTEMPORAIES WHICH WILL TURN INTO COMFORT REREADS!"

Instead, I'm going to show you some of mine!

I don't have that many contemporaries that I reread, but here are the two that I do!

Tweet Cute and Ten Things I Hate About Pinky

ohh would you look at that...they're both enemies to lovers...I love this trope in both fantasy and contemporary because it's both complex and entertaining! I know some people think enemies to lovers could never happen in real life, but I feel like it totally can because sometimes you find someone annoying but once you really get to know them, they turn out to be wayy better than you thought. But of course both of them deny it...Anyways, I just love their entertaining banter and cute almost-moment moments!

💖TBR

My school library actually put up a beautiful display with just romance books at the start of February and it looks soo good! That just inspired my to search through my TBR and find some contemporaries!

1. Instant Karma by Marrissa Meyer

I'm actually already reading this but I'm putting it here anyways since I only just started reading it and haven't gotten very far. So far it's pretty cute and entertaining, but I can't really say since I read so little. Also it has enemies to lovers!!

2. Perfect on Paper by Sophie Gonzale

Anonymous love advice?? hmm...I wonder if I can get some wisdom out of this...

lol, just kidding, but Darcy sounds wise and also I wanted to say, I love her name! (not me thinking of Mr.Darcy :) )

3. Made in Korea by Sarah Suk

This sounds like a contemporary with plot and suspense plus the cuteness so I'm all for it!

4. This Train is Being Held by Ismée Amiel Williams

This seems like an interesting concept since it takes place over the span of three years in subway encounters and I'm really curious to see how the romance will play out.

5. One True Love by Elise Bryant

I read the first book in this series and I thought it was really cute so of course, I want to read this one! I could really relate to the main character's writery moments in the first book, but I'd love to read a story from another character's point of view as well!

6. You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao

I heard it's emotional and I want to have a good cry over a book! I rarely cry over books, but at least I want to feel kind of emotional, and I feel like this one will be sad so yay!

7. Now that I've Found You by Kristina Forest

soo...this has an eccentric grandma in it and I kind of don't need to know anything else to want to read it!

8. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

I've been hearing sooo much about this one and it sounds amazing!! I don't think I've ever read a sceincy contemporary book before and also I'm already getting good vibes from the characters, so I'm excited about this one!

9. Once Upon a K-Prom

It's a K-Pop Romance!! Ahhh nooo my other inner-fan-girl is waking up! Actually it's obviously a good thing ╰(*°▽°*)╯

10. When you get the Chance by Emma Lord

I LOVED Tweet Cute and as I said earlier, it's one of my comfort rcontemporaryeads, so of course I'm going want to read another book by this author!!

💖Upcoming Realeases

1. A Show for Two by Tashie Bhuiyan

Enemies to Lovers, Celerity Lovers, a South Asian main character, and cute romance?! This sounds sooo good and I really want this to be released quickly so I can start reading it!

3. Cafe Con Leche

All I have to say is...It has food and enemies to lovers?! I need this!!

༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

woohoooo there are more contemporaries to come!!

These are of course, just a few of the books on my contemporary TBR, but I hope that you found some interesting new ones or were at least reminded of some of the ones on your TBR! I would love to hear about any more contemporaries that should be added to my TBR and just general contemporary appreciation!!
