On Monday, the American Library Association announced the winners of the Newbery and Caldecott Medals for this year, along with the Honor books. I watched part of the live broadcast, which was a fun way to participate. For anyone participating in the 2018 Newbery Reading Challenge, every one of these books counts towards your point total! If you're not participating, feel free to sign up, or just enjoy reading these books!

My library holds are starting to come in and my order with Piecing Me Together arrived! This maybe the first year I actually read all of the winners and honors — and it does help I already read Long Way Down — though is definitely reread it :) Maybe I’ll start catching up on 2017 too! :)

I'm excited to read all of these, too! I only put a hold on Hello, Universe, but I should get my name on the lists for the other winners and honor books. They all look so good!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.
