About books labeled as the Popular Paperbacks committee YA list

The lists of popular or topical titles are widely available in paperback and represent a broad variety of accessible themes and genres." It says nothing about the books being exclusively YA books, only that they are books that would appeal to young adults. If you look at the list for 2003, many books marketed to adults are included (e.g., The Eye of the World):
