Best Books for Young Adults
Policies and Procedures | Previous Lists | Previous Top 10 Lists | BBYA Publications
Through 2010, The Best Books for Young Adults committee each year selected and annotated a list of significant adult and young adult books, as well as chooses a list of top ten titles from the full list. It is a general list of fiction and nonfiction titles selected for their proven or potential appeal to the personal reading tastes of the young adult.
Best Books for Young Adults evolved into Best Fiction for Young Adults after the 2010 BBYA list was published.
