Hello, lovelies! Great news! Contemporary Fiction Month starts in just 2 days! Are you as excited as I am?! Cause I am pretty flipping excited! :)
I am co-hosting this fabulous event with Bonnie from Words At Home and Asheley from Into The Hall Of Books. Both my lovely partners-in-crime will have their own unique schedules filled with reviews, interviews, guest posts and giveaways, so be sure to check out their blogs and follow them (if you haven't yet done so).
What will you be served here, at Bookish? Why, I'm glad you're asking! I prepared a full-course meal for you, lovelies, and it's full of wicked awesomeness! More than 30 reviews, nearly as many interviews and guest posts, fun contemporary-related posts, and - get that - more than 40 giveaways (some separate, some prize packs, some totally MIND BLOWING) :) Yep, you heard that right!
Contemporary Fiction gets awfully neglected and the truth is we don't appreciate it as much as we should. And it deserves to be appreciated and cherished. This wonderful genre is so much more than just light and fluffy romances and silly comedies, it offers insightful, profoundly meaningful stories, mind-blowing complexity and three-dimensional characters. Contemporary Fiction speaks to us like no other genre out there, because of its authenticity and relatability. Sometimes it makes us laugh, sometimes it makes us cry, ultimately, though, it makes us feel and it teaches us something about life, relationships, growing-up, and dealing with difficult issues. Most importantly, it teaches us something about ourselves.
So why not show contemporary fiction some love?
Visit Bookish daily throughout the month of June and dive into the world of realistic fiction. Fell in love. Get your heart broken. Make friends. Enjoy!
