On February 2 the Youth Media Awards were announced. I noticed two things about this years winners and honors. There was a lot more diversity (likely due to the We Need Diverse Books campaign) and several graphic novels. I was happy to see how many I had already read. I've marked them on the list below. I've also marked which titles which are on multiple awards lists (including National Book Award).
