Award Winning Reads Challenge

Ashley from Books from Bleh to Basically Amazing  is hosting an "Award Winning Reads Challenge" from May 30th to September 5th 2011.  If you have expressed a desire to read or re-read any of the Newbery or Printz award winning books, here's an opportunity to do so.

Click on the button in the side bar or go here to read about the challenge as well as to find links to the book lists.  There are 4 levels to the challenge so it's something that anyone can accomplish.  I am going for Teacher's Pet - 12 books. Summer reading! Yippee! 

The 18 books that are highlighted, in all those purdy colors, are the ones that I am most interested in reading.  If I get through them all, I will be a SUPER Teacher's Pet. Haha!

    I decided I wanted to read all the Newbery Winners when I was twelve . . . but I've taken so many reading detours since then, I haven't really made much headway since then. =P

    I've read #s 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, and 12 on your lists, and a whole bunch of others.

  2. As I was looking through the Newbery lists, I became sad that I didn't read so many of them as a kid. Better late than never :)
