Hi, everyone! I’m back with another book list (sort of). Since I’ve been seeing a lot of people in the book community tier-ranking the books that they’ve read, I decided to do one for all the contemporary book that I have ever read.
I really enjoyed doing this and literally had a hard time raking some of the books! To start off, I’m going to list the books that I’ve included in the raking and show you the results of the ranking itself. So here goes:

I have a total of 58 books! So I’ve ranked them according to the following tiers:
- Excellent Tier
- Amazing Tier
- Great Tier
- Good Tier
- Okay Tier
- Nope, this book just didn’t work out for me Tier
Of course, with Excellent being the highest. If you know me personally, I don’t really like saying that I hate a book or that a book is badly written, so instead, I named the lowest rank as how I usually feel after reading a book that I didn’t like: It just didn’t work out for me. So moving on the my ranking:
Wow, I guess I really am appreciative when it comes to books because I only have one book in the “Nope, this book just didn’t work for me” tier. I badly wanted to like Playlist for the Dead because I remember looking for it all the time in bookstores since the synopsis sounded really intriguing for me. I finished reading the book, but it just didn’t give any impact on me.
I really enjoyed tier-ranking my books and I’m looking forward to doing this again with my fantasy reads.
Been looking for more contemporary books to read besides my usual sci-fi/fantasy. Thanks for making such a great list!

Omg, I LOVED The Summer I Turned Pretty when I read it years and years ago, I need to read it again to see how it holds up. Same goes for Looking for Alaska.
Every Day is one those books that I’ve been meaning to read since before it came out. I might start it now, it’s time to make my TBR smaller 😀

Same! I loved it back then, too. 🙈 It was such a light read. Hope it still holds up the feels when you read it again. Looking For Alaska is my favorite John Green book. Haha And you should definitely try Every Day. It is also a really nice contemporary novel for me. 😊
