How are you all doing? This week I&#8217;ve been rediscovering my love for YA Contemporary Books. It all started when I starting listening to the audiobook of Aristotle and Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz. I absolutely loved this book and will talk more about it in my wrap-up. After that, I jumped on to I&#8217;ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. This book blew my mind and I can&#8217;t even believe how wonderful it was. I wrote my feelings on this book and the one before that in short Goodreads reviews. You can check them out here and here. I didn&#8217;t stop and now I&#8217;m almost done with More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera. Also, all of these are LGBTQ books and I think this was the perfect time to read them since it is Pride Month \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8561 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/19542841\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/19542841-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/23573418-_uy200_\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"131\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/23573418-_uy200_-131x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/images-3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/images-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve read quite a few YA Contemporaries in the past but I hadn&#8217;t read many of these this year. Many of these books have very powerful and unique stories and that&#8217;s what I love about them. I also think these are some of the best books to listen on audiobooks. They are excellently done and form a huge part of my experience.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for this week! It would be amazing if you join us and share your own bookish discoveries with us.
