Eldertalk's video: The 2021 Newbery Variety Challenge

I'm reading for the 2021 Newbery Variety Challenge this year. I love reading books from the Newbery list - it has been a long-time hobby of mine. It started back in the 1990's when I was homeschooling my two youngest children. I used to read a lot of these books out loud to my children and eventually wanted to read them all. That, however, is easier said than done. I'm still working on it and don't have much hope of completing the mission - but I'm having fun trying. This Newbery Variety Challenge (created by Lynette) is a great way to stay focused and get more of the books read.
