These are just the winners. I can't add the honors since I can only vote 100 times- if we want the honors on here too (since #nerdcott is winners and honors) I'd need help getting them on here....

I really must read more carefully before I sign on the dotted line. :-)
Tamara- I, personally, am only doing the winners, but the complete challenge is winner and honors so I'd like the list to reflect that even if I am not doing it :)
Thank you so much Kellee for all your work on making this list.So far this list has all 74 of the Medal books and the Honor books up through 1961.
Since each person can only add 100 books, we will need some help getting more honor books added. I stopped for the moment, but will be able to add 25 more honor books later (now that I removed the ones I duplicated). I will leave a comment here after I do so we know from what year the next person should start adding.
If you are looking for a list with only the Medal books (and no Honor books) go here: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/31...
If you would like to know how to get this list into your own shelf on goodreads, go here:

I think there are other folks who are just reading the winners as well.
Laura did you add honor books from 1938 to 1961 or from today back to 1961?
From 1938-61. That's what I had so far in my shelf since I am starting with the earliest books and working forward.
When I have a real computer not my phone, I will add a chunk too. Thanks all.
I added the honors books from 1961-1996, so all that needs to be added now is 1997-present
I just added 1997-2001. Will add more later.
I added all the way through 2010. Only the 2011 honors need to be added now.
Just added the 2011 honors. Thanks everyone!
hmmm... just saw that the list is 302 books and not 306, not sure what we are missing.
I noticed there were only 302 too.When I added the list to my bookshelf, I found a few honor books that were missing from the early 50s... Maybe 52? I wasn't sure if I somehow missed copying them over or if they were never on the list.
May have been me... I'm sure we will figure out which ones are missing eventually.
Anyone can add books to this list.
