YALSA's 2014 Best Fiction for Young Adults

Ahhhh! I am so excited to post the link to the 2014 BFYA list.  Countless hours of reading (and re-reading), notetaking and discussion went into the creation of this list (and not just on my part either; the 15 committee members read every.single.one of these books - and one even had a baby in the midst of all the work!).

You can click the link above for the full list, but I've included our Top Ten here:

• Berry, Julie. All the Truth That’s in Me. Penguin/Viking Juvenile, 2013.
• Clark, Kristin Elizabeth. Freakboy. Macmillan/Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2013.
• Federle, Tim. Better Nate Than Ever. Simon & Schuster/Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2013.
• McNeal, Tom. Far Far Away. Random House/Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2013.
• Rowell, Rainbow. Eleanor & Park. Macmillan/St. Martin’s Griffin, 2013.
• Sedgwick, Marcus. Midwinterblood. Macmillan/Roaring Brook Press, 2013.
• Sepetys, Ruta. Out of the Easy. Penguin/Philomel, 2013.
• Smith, Andrew. Winger. Illustrated by Sam Bosma. Simon & Schuster/Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2013.
• Sullivan, Tara. Golden Boy. Penguin/Putnam Juvenile, 2013.

Can I get a "What? What!?!"
