It's Time for Contemporary Conversations

I can't believe it's already March! The start of the year went by ridiculously quickly...
But since it is March, it's the start of a new bookish event: Contemporary Conversations. Basically this is an event hosted by Kayla @ The Thousand Lives (a.k.a. beloved book twinnie) and Veronica @ Talking Bookworm that lasts for the entire month of March and is to celebrate the contemporary genre.

I'm actually a massive fan of contemporary novels, especially in the way that they can really make you empathise with the characters. Often your main characters are in situations where you can easily imagine yourself being in. They're not in some fantasy world, they're not trying to take down a government. They could be the girl who lives down the street or the boy who works at your nearby grocery store, or your sibling, or your best friend. There's just something very real about the contemporary protagonist.

There's a basic theme schedule which I've sort of followed and sort of not followed:
(1st-7th): Coming of Age tales
(8th-14th): The Hard Stuff
(15th-21st): Rereads
(22nd-28th): Conspiracies

And here's my full schedule:
