YA National Book Award 2017

I got looking at the longlist, then the shortlist, of the National Book Award nominees for 2017, and wondered how they correlate with other awards, such as the Printz and maybe even the Newbery AND how they "match up" to what Goodreads readers feel about them.  So, as part of that investigation, I thought I would look at this year's list:
