Favourite Contemporary Authors

In today's post, I will be revealing my all time favourite Contemporary Authors!

--This will be in no particular order--

So let us begin!!!

1# Rainbow Rowell

Rainbow Rowell is the author of Landline, Attachments, Fangirl and Eleanor and Park...and now Carry On! I am obsessed with her writing - her favourite of mine probably being Landline, and I read her books all sometime last year. 

She is one of those authors that reduced me to millions of tears leaking from my eyes- more tears that usual because when I read I almost always cry. She is amazing, if you haven't heard of her - I am shocked, now you know!

2# Becky Albertalli 

Becky Albertalli is an author that I am very very openly obsessed with. I have read the one book she has published - Simon Vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda, and was broken for days. I tweeted her to inform her of my feels that have been obliterated, so I am sure she is aware that she is that awesome. 

3# David Levithan

I was first introduced to David Levithan through Will Grayson Will Grayson which he co wrote with John Green. I read it and loved it - particularly the characters that he created so I decided to check out his other work. That is when I found the truth out. 

David Levithan, is my twin brother. Let me explain...his writing, does things to my brain, it's like we're soulmates in a blood related or DNA related way...thats the best way I can explain it. He's just everything. 

4# Holly Bourne 

Holly Bourne is an author that I discovered by accident. I saw a book that looked like a red velvet cake...I was hungry so I bought it. I went home, opened the book and before I knew it, it was 4am and I was crying on the floor of my room. 

This may be confusing if you have never heard of or read one of her books. If you are one of these people then, where have you been!? It's not too late though, you can still join the fandom! Her book - The Manifesto on How To Be Interesting, has red pages aka red velvet.

 I then read Soulmates, and died further. Then recently I read 'Am I Normal Yet' and surprise surprise, she killed me again. Can your heart literally shatter permanently? That's how I feel.

5# Holly Smale

Holly Smale is an author that I casually discovered. I picked up the book, read the blurb then thought this sounds pretty good. haha! pretty good, silly past me. This book series has been amazing so far, I have enjoyed every single book and I am in love with all of the characters!

6# Stephan Chbosky

Stephan Chbosky as you may or may not know, is the writer of the brilliant novel 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'. I loved the book, and surprise surprise, ended up a blurbering mess by the end. You have probably heard of and or watched/ read Perks....but to avoid false assumptions, it is awesome so read it.

7# John Corey Whaley

I read his book - Noggin, last year when I read a review on it that described it as amazing and awesome and a must read blah blah blah. I needed a book to read, and I liked the description. I wasn't expecting much when I went into the book, because I didn't know much about the author or his work. I wish I could re read that book over and over again, using the memory serum from divergent to wipe my brain of the plot so that I can love it again.

I still need to read his other novel 'When things come back', so I am veryy excited!!

Those are my favourite Contemporary authors! Hope you enjoyed reading and agreed with me on some of my picks? hopefully all because I adore all of these authors. 

Stay tuned for more!
