Contemporary

The mass majority of books fall into the Contemporary category. Anything in this section could happen to your best friend or your neighbor. Some circumstances in these novels are a little wild, but anything that happens in them is 100% possible. The great thing about realistic novels are that they feature people that are different than you, so it's easy to learn about different types of people. My Contemporary section features people that are deaf, handicapped, gay, poor, of different religions and races, and so much more. If you want to learn more about other people or see how different types of people handle the same circumstances, this is the genre for you.
