Last year around this time I looked at a far-from-complete list of new books by Alex Award winners to see which ones we had reviewed and might be reviewing. Today, I show my compulsive side by trying to put together a complete list of every 2014 book by a former Alex winner. Altogether, I found 29 new books from the 169 Alex winners.  I probably missed a couple, and I purposely excluded a few collections of older work–but all-in-all, a pretty good haul.  The biggest surprise for me is that three of last year’s ten winners are back with new books (as opposed to one 2013 winner who put out a book in 2013–Juliana Baggott, who also has a book out this year).

Probably the best benefit for me of making this list was that it drew my attention to a couple books I probably would have missed, particularly Steve Almond’s Against Football: One Fan’s Reluctant Manifesto and Jeff Lemire’s Teen Titans: Earth One. Feel free to let us know if there are any books here we should be paying special attention to. Anyway, here they are, broken down into similar but not identical categories to last year.
