I've had a goal that I've slowly been working toward for years--read all of the Newbery Award winning books. I have a handful of older ones that look dreadfully boring to me left to read. The best part about the goal is reading the newest winner each year.
This year I actually read the book before it won the Newbery, so I'm ahead in that respect. When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead was a very touching book and I'd recommend it even if it hadn't won the Newbery.
Read more about this year's winners here.
It's the first year I've read a Newbery winner before the awards, too. Unfortunately, now that means I need to read another Newbery winner from the past to keep up with my at-least-one-a-year goal...
