Hosted by Katie at Katie’s Book Blog and Angela at Reading Angel, the YA Contemporary Challenge of 2012 promises to be exciting and I look forward to opening my eyes to more new books in this genre. I read few contemporary books, but I have noticed the number has grown since I started blogging almost two years ago, and there are quite a few that I have read in 2011 that I really enjoyed and some that even made my personal favorite list of 2011. I thank these lovely ladies for hosting this challenge and broadening my reading comfort zone!

For my own purposes and for any of you who might be interested in signing up, here are the rules from Katie and Angela:
