I've watched everyone else post their wrap up but then I realized that I too have completed this challenge. I didn't stick with my original list but I did read 12 award winners since July 2007. I enjoyed all of the books for various reasons; some for the writing, some because they made me think, some were just plain inspiring. Here is my list, in order of favorite on down:

Congrats, Petunia!!!
Yay!!! I still have 2 books left and for some reason I feel like this challenge has been heavy baggage. It must feel great to be finished! :)
You too 3M.
Trish-it felt that way to me at times too. I am grateful that I could count the Newbery's that I read for the Newbery Challenge. That was a big help.
Congratulations! That's an impressive list, although I'm not familiar with all the books. (And I always find that peculiar, as if I should know all books. Which, yes, clearly I think I should. ;)
Carrie-I feel the same way quite often. I have so many lists of good books, great books, kids books, etc., that it seems that I should be familiar with every book ever made. It's humbling when I see how wrong I am.
My favorites on your list are:
To Kill a Mockingbird
Carry On, Mr. Bowditch
&
The Bronze Bow
I wish I could find time to read as much as you do. Your reviews are wonderful! Thanks for taking time to write about what you read.
