Newbery Medal Books

The first Newbery Medal was awarded in 1922, which adds up to quite a few awards, especially when you count the honor medals as well.  I enjoy well written Junior Fiction, so I've got a personal perpetual challenge to read through these books.  I don't read in any sort of order, just how and when the mood hits.

Currently, I've read 38 out of 91.
