I have a deep fondness for this YALSA list.  As a librarian, I see it as a list of sure-fire hits for teens as well as titles that  may have slipped by us and have great pop culture appeal.  There are 87 titles on the 2011 Quick Picks list  that includes nonfiction and fiction in a variety of genres.  Below is the Top Ten list.
