I'm not calling this one over quite yet, but I'm very happy with my progress so far. I set my goal at the Lowry level, so trying for at least 60 points. Currently, I've read 37 books totaling 47 points (so many Caldecotts!) 13 more points might be a bit of a stretch at this time of year, but we shall see!

Looking forward to joining again for 2017 -- I'm 99% sure I am only joining 3 challenges for next year, and this is one of them!

Some of the Newbery winners are really short (like Missing May by Cynthia Rylant) - you could fit in a few in December! :) 47 points is still impressive, even if you don't make your level. I'm so glad you're on board for next year!

Gosh - I really lost traction on this. I started out with "A Long Way from Chicago" which I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Then I read the "One-Eyed Cat" which I also really liked. and there it was left. I('m going to read Because of Winn-Dixie" tonight, just to make up for lost time. But I thought I would have read a lot more. On to 2017!
