Hosted by: Julie @ Smiling Shelves
Dates: January 1 - December 31, 2017
In 2017, Julie (at Smiling Shelves) is once again hosting the Newbery Reading Challenge. I like this challenge a lot, even though I didn't do very well with it this year (only read one book). Hoping to do better next year. Of course, that's what I said last year about this year. Hmmm. I seem to be repeating myself.
Anyway, I'd like to read at least half a dozen books for the challenge, and will be signing up at the first level ("L'Engle"). I don't have a set list of books to read, but I do have quite a few that've been on my TBR list/pile for a number of
Newbery Winners and Honor Books
- By the Shores of Silver Lake. Laura Ingalls Wilder
- The Cricket in Times Square. George Selden
- Hitty, Her First Hundred Years. Rachel Field
- Miss Hickory. Carolyn Sherwin Bailey
- The Westing Game. Ellen Raskin
- When You Reach Me. Rebecca Stead
- The Witches of Worm. Zilpha Keatley Snyder
- The Funny Little Woman. Illustrated by Blair Lent; text: retold by Arlene Mosel
- Golem. David Wisniewski
- The Invention of Hugo Cabret. Brian Selznick
- Many Moons. Illustrated by Louis Slobodkin; text: James Thurber
- Owl Moon. Illustrated by John Schoenherr; text: Jane Yolen
- Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. William Steig
This year, Julie is allowing Caldecott Honor Books as well as winners, so that gives me a few more books to explore. During the year, I'll be tracking my progress and keeping all my lists 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.
