Not YA but Listed as YA

This is a list of fifty books that I have seen on YA lists in places like goodreads etc, none of which are actually marketed as YA (in the UK at least!). It's interesting to see what comes up - obviously the category is a slightly blurry one, but it's unsurprising to see which authors get treated as though their work is "younger" than it is.
