Anybody up for a low-stress challenge in 2015? 🙂 One of my lifetime goals is to read all the Newbery Medal winning titles, so I thought–why not get started sooner rather than later? And why not ask some friends to join me? Here’s how the challenge will work:
- This challenge will run January-October.
- Each month will focus on a decade’s worth of Newbery Medalists and honor books.
- January: 1920s
- February: 1930s
- March: 1940s
- April: 1950s
- May: 1960s
- June: 1970s
- July: 1980s
- August: 1990s
- September: 2000s
- October: 2010s
- I will post a list of all the eligible titles for the month on the first day of the month. I will also post which title(s) I plan to read. I’ll provide a linky for your own “I’m in” post.
- You may read one title or two or as many as you want.
- I will post the wrap-up post for you to link up your thoughts and reviews on the last day of the month.
- You’re welcome to play one month and not the next. This is low-stress.
How does this sound? I’d love to have you join me. Please leave a comment if you think this is something you’d like to do, and feel free to grab the button up at the top to share!

Yes, yes, yes. I am terrible at link-ups and challenges, but I’d like to try this. I’ve also been trying to read all of the Newbery Award and Honor books for a while now, but I forget to follow through. So many reading projects, so little time to follow through. I would be happy to send you the links for the reviews I already have a Semicolon for the various decades also, since my reviews might help someone else who is trying to decide what to read.
Sherry,
I’d LOVE to share your links!
I’m also usually a fail at challenges (except for the Cybils one, which is right up my alley). But I love the idea of this one and will try and join in.
Hmmm, I like the sound of this … it’s follow-through that kills me! : )
This does look good! And I love the low-stress part. 🙂 Count me in for at least some of the months. Thanks, Amy!
I’m in
Yippee! 🙂
I love this idea…I keep toying with the idea of getting back to blogging, so maybe this will be a little bit of gentle motivation. 🙂
