I've read about 6 books from this section of the Newbery Medal Winners list.
Hi Susanne, I was surprised to see several that my children have urged me to read, and that I love! Nice blog, btw, I love your signature line at the top. Karen :)
Hi Karen, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Glad you like my blog.
I went and checked out your blog and left a comment. I'll be sure to stop by from time to time.
I feel terrible that I've only read a few from this list. I can understand why so many writers make it a goal to read all the NBs at some point in their career.
I regret to say that so far there's only one here that I've read. I am enjoying this post.
