Thanks, Susan. This is absolutely FASCINATING!

Just for further clarification, and with her permission, I'll adapt what she prefaced her list with on PubYac:

Susan was updating her Pick of the Decade list and had been surveying the mock Newbery lists on the web and the best book lists in professional journals. Since she saw so many books repeated on the lists, she thought it might be interesting to see which titles appeared more than once. The preceding list is a compilation of the fiction titles cited more than once, along with how many lists she found each title on. She looked at nine sources including the list of Mock Newberys on Nina Lindsay's blog, and the lists she links to there at ninasnewbery.blogspot.com/ as well as SLJ's best books list, Hornbooks Fanfare, and the books nominated for Cybils (the children's and YA literature bloggers awards).
