1. ghost2 & 3 are blank, because the others I have read I do not believe are worthy. I really need to get a hold of other 2 in the top three.

I couldn't pick a third from this bunch myself. I am astonished Raymie Nightingale didn't garner enough votes for this round.
1. Ghost2. Wolf Hollow (only read part)
3. Nothing
I don't feel fully qualified to vote, because I've only read about half of the options. This just ups my respect for the folks on the actual committee.

I know this is not one of our final contenders, but does anyone suspect March: Book Three might be receiving a bit of a Newbery boost this week? I'm rethinking my predictions.
It does have a good chance. March Bk 3 recently won a National Book Award.
I voted for March, but Book 1. I think the books are awesome. I must pick up books 2 and 3 soon!!!

And my only pick is Wolf Hollow.(I think Ghost and The Inquisitor's Tale fit more comfortably in the Printz basket.)

Time for round two of our voting.
Keeping in mind the point system used by the Newbery ("Each committee member votes for three books, with four points assigned to first choice, three points to second choice, and two points to third choice) vote for your new top three selections. After this round we will have our Mock Newbery winner and will then decide how many honor books we would like.
List your top three (and only three) books, from the following list, in order of importance and we will tally the points.
Wolf Hollow
Ghost
The Inquisitor's Tale: Or, The Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

The Girl Who Drank the Moon
