Just about a week, Book Riot put out a list of their top fifty must read young adult contemporary novels of the 2010s. It is crazy to me that this kind of list is even a thing – because in just a couple months the decade is over! WHAT! And it makes sense that this is a huge topic because the 2010s were definitely the boom of YA literature.

The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post is all about the books that I’d give different titles to. I really like this one because, well I’m notorious for judging a book by its title. All the time. I often end up reading a book anyway because someone begs me to but a title definitely can turn me off for a long time.
