***PLEASE NOTE: You CAN read ahead. So if you've already read some of the books on the October list and want to read from the November or December list, you can.

You are also allowed to read eligible titles on your own & submit recommendations of titles that are NOT on the list, so that something great that Kris might have missed can be discussed by the whole group & considered for our Mock Newbery Medal. AND Kris reserves the right to add a couple of titles if she finds more. : )

10 bonus titles will also be added in the future; 5 in October and 5 in November, equaling 21 titles for the club.
