The '''Alex Awards''' annually recognize "ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18".<ref name=home/> Essentially, the award is a listing by the [[American Library Association]] parallel to its annual Best Books for Young Adults, a longer list of recommended books that have been promoted in the YA category. YALSA also names several other "Top Tens" annually.<ref name=toptens/>


The '''Alex Awards''' annually recognize "ten books written for adults that have special appeal to young adults ages 12 through 18".<ref name=home/> Since 2002, the Alex Awards have been administered by the [[Young Adult Library Services Association]], a division of the [[American Library Association]].<ref name=toptens/>
