NewberyEpicChallenge

This post contains spoilers

A Question for the kind Litsy community, does anyone know of an active Newbery Medal Winners challenge here? I looked through Litsy Events and also searched some tags, but only found one challenge (#newberyepicchallenge) that seems to no longer be active. Maybe I missed something though. I've read some of the Newbery winners already but would like to read more, especially the more popular, highly rated books. Thanks so much for your help. 🙂

PageShifter I have not seen one 🤔 13mo

Librarybelle There is not an active challenge at this time, as far as I know! 13mo

Seabreeze_Reader @PageShifter @Librarybelle - Thank you both for letting me know. 🤗
I suppose I could create one for Litsy but I'm not sure if anyone would be interested in participating, especially since the old challenge is inactive. There is a Newbery Winners challenge on Storygraph but I'm not very that active in that site. 13mo

Librarybelle You could do a general ask on Litsy and tag the profile LitsyEvents…anyone who follows the profile would see your question. That could help you gage interest. 13mo

Seabreeze_Reader @Librarybelle Thanks for the suggestion. 🤗 I'll think about it. 13mo

Seabreeze_Reader Since I'm such a #moodreader, I think I'm going to do an unofficial flexible challenge and use the tag #newberyreading. After looking through the Newbery Medal winners list, there are some I've read before. Others winning books I don't care to read, so I might substitute an Honor nominee for those years. 13mo

Shen of the Sea: Chinese Stories for Children | Arthur B Chrisman Chrisman

Ugh, I‘m struggling to finish this. Only four more stories to go, but I don‘t want to pick it up. The stories are so cheesy and not entertaining at all. I‘m not sure how this got an award. Maybe because it was a unique look at another culture. It‘s just not good, though; although, maybe children would enjoy it. I dunno. 😖 #NewberyEpicChallenge
