YA / MG Read-A-Holics Not-So-Anonymous discussion

Hey, guys! This is your place to discuss Newbery Medal and Newbery Honor books. You can talk about the books themselves, or about whether or not you thought these books should have won, which book(s) you think deserve the Newbery Award, etc. etc. In addition, I would like to have a group read for Newbery Books. I will be listing all of the Newbery books on another thread (or at least I'll try), and nominations for group reads will be held in the "Current and Upcoming Group Reads" folder.August 2013's nominations, however, will be picked by me as August is getting closer and we don't have that much time for nominating books. Thanks!
