Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults
Annual book list / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Popular Paperbacks for Young Adults was an annual list of popular books geared toward young adult readers, collated by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA), which was published from 1988 to 2017. The aim of the list was "to encourage young adults to read for pleasure by presenting to them lists of popular or topical titles which are widely available in paperback and which represent a broad variety of accessible themes and genres".[1] Unlike other lists published by the American Library Association and its subsidiaries, books on the list did not have to be published recently.[2] Researchers, librarians, and educators have used the list to better understand books popular amongst young adults.[3][4][5][6]
