the Alex Awards, in reverse!

YALSA has a wonderful award for books published for adults which have appeal for young adult readers, the Alex Awards. At our next meeting, April 28, 2010 at 9am at the Emmet O'Neal Library, the RA Roundtable will be turning the Alex Awards upside down and discussing books published for young adults that have appeal for adult readers.

Look to J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer if you don't believe this crossover takes place!

If you'd like a bit of assistance in finding a suitable title, here are a couple of lists!

Publisher's Weekly online, "Adult Readers in the Kids' Section"

About.com: Bestsellers, "Top 7 Young Adult Books for Adults"

Amazon.com, "YA Books that Adults Can Appreciate"

SF Signal: MINDMELD, "Young Adult SF/F Books That Adults Will Like Too"

I'm having a hard time narrowing down my selections! A lot of these I've already read, but I love a good reread! Have you read any of the titles on these lists?

Happy reading!
