Introduction to the Newbery club

[Cheryl, Host of Miscellaneous and Newbery Clubs]

great!

For example, the biggest upset, according to a lot of people, was giving Charlotte's Web only an honor. We did discuss that a little bit back then in the appropriate threads.

Yes, and the book that did win, was in my opinion rather paternalistic towards Native populations.

My co-mod, Manybooks, has started a complementary thread here: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/.... Not all deserving books and authors have ever been honored.

Thank you, Cheryl, I should have thought of this.

So, as of November, we're caught up with the Newbery books. Any suggestions or preferences how we go forward? Open this thread once a year? Keep it open all year? One month a year do a Newbery theme in the Miscellaneous Club?

(that third option would be easiest for me, but this is your group...)

Since you are the host, I would suggest doing club in the way that it is easiest for you (and I also like the one month a year Newbery topic in the Miscellaneous Club).

Thank you.

I concur--Newbery topic once a year in the Miscellaneous Club, possibly in February or March, after the announcements have been made, and giving time for participants to read whichever winners/honors they are interested in.
