The Newbery Reading Challenge 2014

http://www.smilingshelves.com/1/post/2013/12/newbery-reading-challenge-2014.html

Hosted by: Julie @ Smiling Shelves
Dates: January 1 - December 31, 2014

This one really looks like a lot of fun. I've always wanted to read more of the Newbery Medal winners and honor books - and this challenge even allows you to read Caldecott Medal winners, too.  And since re-reads are also allowed, I might even revisit some of my childhood favorites.  The challenge works on a point system, with a different number of points given for Newbery winners, Newbery honor books, and Caldecott winners; and there are five different levels of participation to choose from.

For all the guidelines, see the challenge announcement/sign-up page HERE.  (And be sure to read Julie's explanation for those "smiling shelves"!)

I'll be signing up at the first level, L'Engle - so I'll be gathering a total of 15-29 points.  Haven't made a list of potential books yet, but during the year I'll be tracking my reading progress over on my challenge blog, HERE.

Welcome and thanks for leaving me a comment. I love to hear from visitors.

Also, please note that while I appreciate the thought, I don't play the blog awards game. I think you all deserve awards! But you might think about becoming a follower of my blog -- that would really be the best award.
