The Newbery Challenge

 

August 02, 2005

The Newbery Challenge

This page is still under construction. Please check back later for more!

    Thing I hope you'll see:
  • Searchable lists of Newbery Award Winners (Medal & Honor Books)
  • Possibly lists of other Awards Types
  • Follow along with my progress as I attempt to read all of the Newbery adn Caldecott winners
  • Track your own progress, should you choose to accept the Challenge on your own!


    • The Newbery Challenge I have set forth a challenge to myself to read as many of the Newbery and Caldecott Award Winners as I can possibly take. It is not without rules, however:
    • My goal will be to focus on winners since 1950. I already have a few older ones under my belt (like Rabbit Hill by Robert Lawson, 1945 Medal Winner), and I may choose to read more. My goal, however will not include winners between 1922 and 1949 by default, since a girl has to have limits.
    • My goal will "require" only Medal Winners, but I would like to attempt as many Honor Books as I can.
    • I will limit myself to books I can get through the library (including Inter Library Loan), from friends, and from the bowels of our stacks upstairs. I will not eBay just to finish the list.
    • I will finish the books. Any book that I can't get through does not count.


    1 Wish me luck!
