Here is my annual list of books which appeared on BOTH the YALSA's Best Books for Young Adults List and the Quick Picks list. Per usual, there was no overlap in nonfiction and just a small group of titles that impressed the BBYA team for their literary quality and the QP team for their readability. While no official YALSA honor comes to this small group of books, its a real achievement to get on one of this lists, let alone two. Many authors would like to have nailed down a place on either -
