Man, I’m getting behind on responding to comments. I won’t respond individually but thanks all! Jeanne – I have about 5 Darfur books I’d like to make through, but yeah, it’s kind of like my own read-a-thon.

I hadn’t thought about that as a challenge, but I’ve actually read five of the books you listed here, so I think I might just have to start.

I will definitely be looking forward to your Shannon Hale interview. LOVE her!!

Well, it doesn’t sound like a bright and cheery book but intriguing nonetheless.

Thanks for your review!

I have to say, that you have inspired me to pick up the Newberry list and start reading. I realize I have read many of them already, but as most of them are out of my daughters reading levels (4 and 6) I am reading them aloud to share. We are making a steady progress and it has been a hit so far.

On a side note, my younger daughter has less of an attention span and doesn’t always get what is going on in the Newberry’s so I started reading all of the Caldecott’s to her. Though some have no words…I like that it makes her think and tell about the pictures.

Anyways…I’m rambling now and Off to bed with me. Thanks Natasha.

I have read so many great Newberys this year. I hadn’t made it an official goal to read all ofthem but I have been reading as many as I can. They have honestly been some of my very favorite books this year– The Wednesday Wars, Elijah of Buxton, Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy, Hatchet, Rules and others are so good.

For some reason I thought ALL the books you read this month were going to be about Darfur. I’m actually glad I was wrong, because I was really wondering how you would find that many titles on the one suject.

There AIN’T NO WAY I could read a story about a thrown baby. You read all these books that are so heartbreaking to me. I’m glad someone is able to do it, because it’s not gonna be me. I know, I’m missing out on a lot of good stuff, but NO WAY. Just the thought makes me wanna grab the bug up and smother him in kisses.

Oh Yeah! I love Shannon Hale. That is a good goal to read all of those books.
