Young Adult Contemporary Romance discussion

We are asking our members to help create out two month summer challenge, by choosing the books we can read. All participants can fill our SWIMMING POOL OF BOOKS by posting 5 books you'd like to have in the pool. Here are the rules for selection:

1. The books must be YA and/or NA.
2. Each participant must add at least 2 YA books (we want to make sure we have a variety of YA books for our younger members)
3. The books must already be released or release during our challenge time frame.
4. Start posting your books now, so we have our pool ready for July 1st.

Once everyone has posted their book choices we will post a list containing our SWIMMING POOL OF BOOKS broken down by YA and NA genre! The challenge is to read at least 10 books from the pool!! You don't have to stop with 10, get bragging rights for the most read!! Have fun!!!

What if we've already read some of them? I know I've read at least 3 of them.

Well I'm hoping once I send out the monthly newsletter we'll get even more books added to the pool that there will be more than enough that you haven't read. Crossing fingers. If there isn't enough we can ask everyone participating to add additional books.

What about "The lovely Reckless" by Kami Garcia for a YA and "Tell Me Three Things" and for New Adult "When It's Real" by Erin Watt, " Paper Princess" and "Nowhere But Here by Katy McGarry.

Great Samantha I'll add your picks to the pool!!

I know I already sent in my picks but I know that Deanna reads a lot and I wanted to possibly offer a few more contemporary suggestions (if they don't count that's fine). I would like to offer "A Sky full of Stars" by Samantha Chase, "The Rescue" by Nicholas Sparks and "When Dimple Met Rishi" by Sandhyda Menon.

Great I added them!! Plus one of your original books was already in the pool!

I thought our pool of books would be big, so I anyone wants to add a few more books too the pool go ahead and post them!! :D
