Reading the Newberys

|
It has been one of my long-time goals to read all of the Newbery Award winners. This is the place where I will keep track of which books I've read, so that I can someday accomplish that goal! I know I read some of these books when I was a kid, but I'm only going to mark as read those books that I have read since January 2014.
