you always come off as so genuine and passionate in your videos which I really appreciate. My absolute, absolute favorite contemporary of all time has to be Radio Silence by Alice Oseman, it's a beautiful quiet story about friendship, struggling with your future, allowing yourself to be uncertain, and making your own decisions and mistakes. I'm sure you would love it!
hi hannah this is a bit off topic BUT first of all you’re the first booktuber i ever watched and still remain my favorite 💓 part of that probably has to do that our reading tastes are practically same altough (until literally a few days ago i thought) minus the contemporary on my side bc i really just read fantasy, sf or hf. that being said - until a few days ago - when i after watching your video where you mentioned you recently fell in love with the ‚all the boys i’ve loved before‘ books watched the trailer 2 days ago and fell in love. i immediately started listening to book 1 on audio, finished it on the same day and was BLOWN AWAY. it really spoke to me and made me emotional besides being a fun story. i started book 2 that day and finished it yesterday and - well of course - started book 3 and at this very moment i’m a little over halfway through. these books already changed my life in a way and once again because of YOU. i’ve discovered so many wonderful books through your recommendations (most recent one ‚the night circus‘ and omg LOOOOVE) and i’m truly thankful. 🧡 you bring me so much joy with your videos and your recommendations never failed me. so now i’m going to watch this video and probably start getting into contemporary which is until now so out of character for me hahaha. so thank you 🧡🧡🧡
your video’s always make me so calm when i’m stressed or distracted. it feels so warm and cozy and this is just why i love books and reading. love from amsterdam xoxo
Hi Hannah, I just finished reading The Astonishing Color of After. And I'm just blown away. It was so beautiful and it left me utterly speechless. I loved it just so, so much. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation :)
The astoniching color of after was fantastic . I read Eliza and her monsters this year and I agree! It's the best contemporary book ever. I related so much with Eliza.
Wintergirls is a long time favorite of mine. As soon as you held it up I got so excited because nobody ever talks about it! I read it for the first time about 5 years ago, and since then I have read it at least 7/8 more times because it is just that good. Glad to see that others really enjoy it as well. x
i've never felt so represented with your description (and your emotional journey) on to all the boys i've loved before! i had the same thoughts before and after i've read it! will totally read your other fave contemporary reads because of this, thank you hannah!
You're so beautiful ❤ Love your videos. I've had so many of these on my list! History is All You Left Me, Eliza and Her Monsters, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before were soooooo good in completely different ways ❤ I love fantasy but contemporary has this grounded sense that helps me out of slumps and often makes me cry.
I first started watching your videos for book inspiration and the more videos I watch the more I relate to you. I also think you have a wonderful taste in books. I have read many of the ones you recommend and love them! So thank you for making your videos🤗
i’ve finally gotten out of my 2 year reading slump, so stumbling upon this video is a LIFESAVER. i have added almost all of them to my 2021 read list so thank you !!
I think you should definitely check out Jenny Han’s Summer trilogy “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” “It’s Not Summer Without You,” and “We’ll Always Have Summer.” I absolutely adore these stories and I’ve love to re read it over and over again. Also for a darker tone from Jenny, I’d also suggest the Burn For Burn trilogy.
yesss literally dropped my math textbook as soon as i saw this video! Contemp books are some of my absolute favourite and i'm so gladddd you are liking contemporary books more now.
I have read Dear Martin and it was a phenomenal read. I have also read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Tyler Johnson was Here by Jay Coles and every single one of these books made me cry due to the fact that there is still no equality in this world and I feel as an African American woman we as a people should stand up and use the voice that we have in order to stop police brutality, police shootings, and so much more. I just feel that this world has the potential of being amazing :)
I felt like I was running out of good books to read, but then, out of nowhere your channel pops up in my recommendations and I’m so inspired omg, I’ve added so many new books to my reading lists, thanks 😊
My recommendation is All American boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely. I also finished Eliza and her monsters book today and I love that book so much!
Oh my God I just finished reading the To All The Boys I've Loved Before series and was looking for more contemporary books to read so this video came at the perfect time. I'm glad you liked the book too.
I love To All The Boys I've Loved! I agree it makes you so happy you cant help but to love Laura Jean. The whole series is just adorable and I couldn't help to reminisce about high school and high school love.... I love those books
I heard The astonishing color of after's audiobook and it became one of my favs too. I had so many feelings reading it... Completely loved it! Thanks for recommending it!!
Your suggestions are always spot on! For anyone who loves some of these books, I recommend Because You'll Never Meet Me by Leah Thomas and the sequel Nowhere Near You. The relationships between characters are absolutely fantastic, and they've become two of my all-time favorites, even as someone who is lukewarm about most comtempories.
I’ve been dying to read Dear Martin after reading The Hate U Give because that was such a good book that I fell in love with and I feel like I’m going to fall in love with Dear Martin because I heard it’s almost the same
I just finished reading Dear Martin and it's my favorite book of all time. I've never cried while reading. I just wanted to know what you thought about it?
Hannah, I don't know you, but I think that you are so beautiful, both inside and out. Whatching your videos really makes me happy! Thank you so much for the effort you put into them and for your enthusiasm, I know that they help so many people read more and share your passion for books! xxx♡
The Poet X was such a touching story. I appreciate the Afro-Latino representation and how it handles the issues of religion within the Latino community.
Since you said you were into deeper contemporary books, I highly recommend Hatelist by Jennifer Brown. It’s so good and involves the topic of school shootings and the aftermath of someone related to the shooter. It’s amazing and discusses lost, hope for a better future, and forgiveness. I definitely recommend giving it a try.
I TOTALLY agree on turtles all the way down 😍😍😍 it is my favorit book and you have to read holding up the universe and all the bright places they are just😍😍
omg so many book recs!! i've only read three books on this list so i'm excited to get to the rest you mentioned. but like TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN !!!!!
The Poet X is next on my TBR! Knowing it's written in verse makes me even more excited to read it. If you're looking for more books in verse, check out most of Ellen Hopkin's books! They're older, and collectively have every content warning I can think of, but I still love them.
I read "Turtles All The Way Down" and I love it so much. The reason are because I'm have too OCD, like Aza, and i have too anxiety, so i'm felt so identify with her. P.S.: I love the video, you're the best.
I haven't really been much of a reader, but I am looking to turn that around. I feel as if I may be too late though, because I'm entering my second year of high school and everyone has read far more than me. I have been moving around a lot and therefore can't really bud in any library, and I'm not the wealthiest.. so buying all of the books I've dreamt of indulging in is out of the question. aGH! Anyways, thank you for the recommendations! I'mma hit the nearest library (when I can) and try out a few.
Turtles, Eliza and Her Monsters, and The Poet X are definitely on my favorites list as well. They were just all so beautifully written in their own ways.
Wintergirls is such a good read, probably my favorite Anderson book besides Speak. Hadn't heard of Down & Across but sounds interesting & added to the TBR. Countless by Karen Gregory & Paperweight by Meg Haston are other great contemps featuring ED issues. Paper Butterflies by Lisa Heathfield & The Last To Let Go by Amber Smith are also fantastic reads.
I loved To All the Boys I've Loved Before! I underestimated it at first, but was blown away once I started reading it. I loved the relationship she has with her sisters. I'm excited for the Netflix movie!
I'm currently reading To All The Boys I've Loved Before and I didn't expect to love it so much!!! 💕 I didn't bother to pick up the book before because it seemed really cheesy but I was really curious when I saw the trailer for the film adaptation and now I don't regret reading it. Anyway, this was a great video and btw I love your book faves/review videos. 💖✨
I've read Turtles All The Way Down! It too is my favourite John Green book. Need to get to reading your other recommendations though. Not sure if you've already covered these ones in your first contemporary recommendation video, but I'd recommend basically anything by Nina LaCour, especially We Are Okay, which I know you have on your shelf anyway. :P
i fell in love with the To All The Boys I've Loved Before movie and then moved on. but your endorsement of the book just gave me the incentive to power thru all the three books this past week. i loved them. thanks for pushing me to read them.
I met Laurie Halse Anderson a few years ago at a writing festival in New Zealand and I can say she is such a sweet and funny lady. At the time I was going through my OCD and after her talk about Wintergirls and her other books I went and talked to her. She listened to me about my own issues and I still can't BELIEVE I haven't picked up any of her books yet. I guess now is the perfect time since that aspect of my life is over.
I absolutely love Eliza and Her Monsters! You might like Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum. It's one of my favorite contemporaries. It deals with loss and change and finding yourself and I love it so much!
I can’t believe you just finished to all the boys I’ve loved before !!!! That series is amazing 😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️. I’ve read that entire series at least 3 times !!! This book is everything you want from a contemporary book and more !!! It got friendships, family, romance and so much more !!! 😭😭😭 ahhh I just love this book . Lara jean is just so relatable. She is just so funny and awkward. 😂🤭
This video came just at the right time for me!! I was looking for some new books to read so thank you! ❤️❤️ Can’t wait to purchase and read down and across, it sounds so great🤗😁.
I actually JUST picked up Love and Other Carnivorous Plants, I know that you won’t lead me astray so I’m even more excited to read it now that you’ve praised it!
I also bought Turtles all the way down because of you. I reread it this year and I love it! I’ve been wanting to read To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, but I am holding back, because yes you said it’s cheesy and I am not much into cheesy YA books. But since you recommend it, I will definitely buy this book and the rest of the series. The only downside is that they don’t have the original cover of this book and the only once they have are now a movie cover. Which I don’t like. :(
Literally just finished to all the boys i've loved before tonight ! And i too only picked it up FINALLY after all this time because it's becoming a movie. I honestly didn't think i would like it or would be interested in the story but i completely agree with you!!! I feel in love and now i'm dying to read the rest of the series pronto
I read *Foolish Hearts* by Emma Mills recently and this book took me by surprise so much! I loved it and I want more people to read it so I can talk with people about it. It's so so so good!
I suggest reading The Lies They Tell by Gillian French. Although I haven't finished the book myself, it is a YA Contemporary, Mystery with a little bit of romance in the midst of it. It's quite short, only around 300 words, give or take. It'll be a quick read and I believe it's standalone so you shouldn't need to buy a whole series of it. To get the gist of it, it's about a tragic fire that took place in a family of 5, reduced to 1's, home and no one knows who did it however all the 'rich hands' pointed to the main characters father, who was the caretaker of the property at the time, rather referred to as the 'help'. And, to add on to all of that, the latest paperback edition (i believe the April edition) is quite beautiful and intriguing. *I know this is a little late (2 months or so) but I was watching your previous videos as I had just recently subscribed to your channel. So, I thought to recommend this to you.*
I fell in love with The Poet X! Picked it up because of this video and the praises you heaped upon it! It’s one of my all time faves now! Continue to spread the book love! Lots of love, From India ❤️
I don't really read too many YA contemporaries, but I recently read Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman and it was fantastic. It was hard to read at times because of the subject matter, but it was a very good book.
I am not really a YA Contemporary books kinda person, but looking at those recs, I am diving into few, especially, The Astonishing Color of After 💛 My god!! I looove you and your videos, you inspire me soo much!! Love you girl 💛💛
I’d just like to say I’m recently getting into booktube ( I did not know this wonderland existed) and you are by far my favorite booktuber 💜
I would also suggest: Hailey in Bookland, jessethereader, and readbyzoe.
Dixie Reads Books it’s like you read my mind I watch all those booktubers
Emmmasbooks is one of my favorites too!
@@dlynnemgirl8870 Merphy Napier is a good one too
me too:)

Summer time is contemporary time ❤️☀️
The fact that this video is 20 minutes long warms my heart 😍
you always come off as so genuine and passionate in your videos which I really appreciate. My absolute, absolute favorite contemporary of all time has to be Radio Silence by Alice Oseman, it's a beautiful quiet story about friendship, struggling with your future, allowing yourself to be uncertain, and making your own decisions and mistakes. I'm sure you would love it!
All the books to get lost into💛
This video is a blessing. I have been in YA contemporary mood lately and you just added so many books on my reading list. Much Love!!! ❤️❤️
Rishika Dembani yayyy!
"The Summer I Turned Pretty" is definitely for you if you liked "To All The Boys I've Loved Before", Jenny Han is such a genius !!!
Who do you like more Jere or Conrad
THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END BY ADAM SILVERA IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS YOU HAVE TO READ IT
Kay Ravioli YES

I literally just bought The Poet X two days ago and now I feel more motivated to read it! Love your channel xx
I bought "Eliza and her monsters" after your recommendation. I loved it soo much! As a person, who writes, I found so many inspiring quotes 💕💕💕
I definitely recommend Radio Silence if you are looking for a more emotional contemporary with a wonderful friendship dynamic.
Also loved The Boys I've Loved Before! Loved how much space the sisters got and how well thought-out the characters were, even the small ones.
your video’s always make me so calm when i’m stressed or distracted. it feels so warm and cozy and this is just why i love books and reading. love from amsterdam xoxo
Hi Hannah, I just finished reading The Astonishing Color of After. And I'm just blown away. It was so beautiful and it left me utterly speechless. I loved it just so, so much. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation :)
The cover The Astonishing Color of After is so beautiful! It sounds like an amazing read that I should get to it soon.
The astoniching color of after was fantastic . I read Eliza and her monsters this year and I agree! It's the best contemporary book ever. I related so much with Eliza.

Have just finished reading a pile of YA contemporary and needed new ones to read!! Thank you for uploading this!xx
I think you should definitely check out Jenny Han’s Summer trilogy “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” “It’s Not Summer Without You,” and “We’ll Always Have Summer.” I absolutely adore these stories and I’ve love to re read it over and over again.

I agree with everything you said about Wintergirls. I just read it a few weeks ago and I was blown away!

I’ve been switching back and forth between this video and goodreads adding books to my wish list :)
The Poet X is next on my TBR! Knowing it's written in verse makes me even more excited to read it. If you're looking for more books in verse, check out most of Ellen Hopkin's books! They're older, and collectively have every content warning I can think of, but I still love them.

I just started To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before because of you and I’m already addicted!
Everything is just perfect with your videos. The books are incredibly interesting and you are such an amazing person❤️

Gabby Mortellaro. *hands you a box of tissue* Good luck stranger.
If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend Ready To Fall by Marcella Pixley. It’s heartbreaking and funny and inspiring. I loved it!
I always get so excited when you post!
The poet x seems really interesting. I'll have to pick it up for sure.
This video came just at the right time for me!! I was looking for some new books to read so thank you! ❤️❤️
Can’t wait to purchase and read down and across, it sounds so great🤗😁.
Turtles all the way down!!! U mentioned it and i took it off my shelf to read it again right now. Its just so good.😍❤❤
Your bookcase is my dream room ♥️
I feel the exact same about To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I love that book SO MUCH
Eliza and her monsters is on my nightstand... I'll get to it soon
I actually JUST picked up Love and Other Carnivorous Plants, I know that you won’t lead me astray so I’m even more excited to read it now that you’ve praised it!
I’m about to read that jenny han book for YA book club at my library! :) so excited
History Is All You Left Me and Dear Martin are a couple of my favorites too!
I need to read the other ones you mentioned that I haven't read yet!
I also bought Turtles all the way down because of you. I reread it this year and I love it! I’ve been wanting to read To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, but I am holding back, because yes you said it’s cheesy and I am not much into cheesy YA books.

Also, even i read to all the boys i have loved before series recently! And God knows i love it so much!!! 😍😍❤️
I love your videos! You helped me realize it is actually cool to be nerdy!⭐️⭐️📚📚
Literally just finished to all the boys i've loved before tonight ! And i too only picked it up FINALLY after all this time because it's becoming a movie. I honestly didn't think i would like it or would be interested in the story but i completely agree with you!!! I feel in love and now i'm dying to read the rest of the series pronto

LOVE this video. You mentioned some really awesome books. You are so beautiful Hannah. I love you so much! ❤️❤️
I think you should try ( the bell jar ) and ( under Rose tainted skies ) both of them are contemporaries which includes mental illness , enjoy
I have the same edition of Wintergirls and it is absolutely my favorite book ever.
I had no knowledge or expectations going into The Poet X and was completely floored by it. I ate it up in a day!
If you haven’t read All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven yet I highly recommend it.❤️
Ahh this was so helpful!! Because I'm really trying to delve more into contemporary novels so this definitely gave me some books to look into!
I love down and across too! I didn’t know anyone else like it too!
Sydnee McConnell loved down and across one of the best books I read this year
I've personally never read any YA contemporary, but these recommendations sound great! Thanks for sharing your favs!
I fell in love with The Poet X! Picked it up because of this video and the praises you heaped upon it! It’s one of my all time faves now! Continue to spread the book love!
Lots of love,
From India ❤️
I don't really read too many YA contemporaries, but I recently read Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman and it was fantastic. It was hard to read at times because of the subject matter, but it was a very good book.
I've ordered 'the astonishing color-of after'. And to see this review can't wait to read it 😍
The Astonishing Color of After is sooo good! One of my all time faves too! :)
I am not really a YA Contemporary books kinda person, but looking at those recs, I am diving into few, especially, The Astonishing Color of After 💛
My god!! I looove you and your videos, you inspire me soo much!! Love you girl 💛💛
I’m obsessed with your eye shadow 😍🙌🏻
