Some of the Newberry Award books can be real shelf sitters, according to one librarian I asked. Still, I think it's important to read the competition :) or at least know what's out there, and what the big publisher houses are publishing. I too like the titles :)Sharon Himslhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835934582653243661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908408097679531435.post-67777447800277561952015-02-11T12:24:08.035-08:002015-02-11T12:24:08.035-08:00Some titles continue to pop up, I've noticed. ...Some titles continue to pop up, I've noticed.
