MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Aug 30 2024 : 1:05:41 PM Jill, I do too. I am just a slow reader and need some extra hours in the day to read what I want lol! Krista
jillyd	Posted - Aug 28 2024 : 1:10:36 PM Thanks, Krista! I do love reading!! Jill Farmgirl #6748 "When life gets super crazy, do your art. It helps you remember the exquisite, imaginary, delightful, lovely side of what is otherwise sometimes a bit much" Sylvia Olsen
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Aug 28 2024 : 1:01:26 PM Great pile Jill! Enjoy the many adventures you will go on with all these books. Krista
jillyd	Posted - Aug 26 2024 : 5:33:30 PM I was inspired by Shennandoah's post about this badge and have started by taking a picture of my TBR pile. I have a bit of a habit of going online to my library and putting holds on too many books at once. But this picture is all the books I have out from the library currently. I'm sure some will have to go back unread to get borrowed again later. Jill Farmgirl #6748 "When life gets super crazy, do your art.

shennandoah	Posted - Aug 30 2023 : 5:19:50 PM Thanks Krista! I started a chapter but don't have members yet. But I got my sister, mom, and eldest daughter set up as members. So I think I'll do a reading challenge for them.
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 31 2023 : 1:56:15 PM That's a good question and to be honest I am not sure. You can always send them an email to find out for sure. I haven't done that badge level yet. Krista
shennandoah	Posted - Jul 29 2023 : 6:30:35 PM Thanks Krista! I’m reading a book now on the Zero Waste Lifestyle so still plugging along. I have a question about the reading contest/challenge. Are there guidelines or best practices for running the challenge?
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 24 2023 : 4:23:31 PM Welcome Shennandoah! Your TBR pile looks awesome. I hope you are able to read all the books you are wanting to this year. Have fun with all the badges. Krista
shennandoah	Posted - Jul 21 2023 : 6:05:24 PM New farm girl here posting toward my first badge! I've long held a library card. The library (and book store) are one of my favorite places. I was a single mom for over a decade and the library let my daughter and I check out books, audiobooks, and movies for our entertainment -- all free! A couple of years ago I discovered that the library has a Libby app so I can listen to audio books on my phone. They also have free access to a few genealogy sites such as Ancestry (just for searching not for building your own tree). I took my daughter to story time when she was younger (she's 20 now) and was part of a genealogy club that met at the library. I buy most of my books these days (because I have the funds now) and have a habit of buying a bunch at once then devouring them. I read a variety of topics, mostly nonfiction, both for my own interests and for my work/professional development. Here is my current TBR pile(s). I have a Reading Journal I bought off Amazon to help me keep track of what I have read and need to read. Last year I read 42 books! I took on a bigger role at work and have been managing a couple of large change projects, so haven't been doing as much reading outside of work since I've been spending so much time learning new technologies. But hoping to end the year strong!
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Aug 24 2020 : 7:43:33 PM Kathleen, that is a great start on your badge. Also, your reading buddy is adorable! That’s really nice that your library is letting you download the books. Right now that would be an easier option for me. That way I don’t have to drag my 3 littles in with me. Krista
MsKathleen	Posted - Aug 21 2020 : 7:56:12 PM I love reading, but I never really get a lot of time to read (there's always something for us to do). So, I'm glad to be finally working on this badge. This is my recent pile of books that I plan to read. Our library is opened only one day a week right now as long as our Covid numbers stay down, but our librarian has set up a digital library (using our library cards) so we can download books to Kindle for the rest of the time. I love this system, but I prefer the feel and smell of books in general. These books are from the library and the topic this week is history, which I love. I love finding the tidbits of information that make you go, "Wait, what?" from these types of books. I also really enjoy that there is always another story to follow in history and even minor events can lead to the butterfly affect. Additionally, I have a book buddy who loves my reading time now. Have a wonderful day! - Kathleen
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 24 2020 : 12:11:02 PM They were amazing! I was actually thinking and I will order him the book and save it for his birthday! I bet he will love it. Krista
slsundgren	Posted - Jul 23 2020 : 04:32:40 AM Thanks Krista! Those Viking tours sound awesome! I've read quite a bit about them and if the world ever gets a little more back to normal, I would love for us to be able to do that. Hope you can find Northmen for your husband. I think it will be a very interesting book. Have a great day! Stacy
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 22 2020 : 1:05:46 PM Stacy, that’s a great pile of books! My husband loves Vikings. We even did some Viking tours when we went to Norway. I’m going to show him that book title and see if he will be interested in reading that one himself. Enjoy your reading material and good luck with your badge. Krista
slsundgren	Posted - Jul 22 2020 : 11:26:09 AM I'm finally getting around to starting my Bibliophile Badge. I've had a library card since I was a child (that's a really loooonnnnggg time now). These books are my personal copies. Our wonderful city library is mostly closed right now because of Covid-19. They are able to work on a limited basis. That's okay, though, because I have lots of books here to keep me busy. As one might detect by the list, I love fantasy romance and action stories. The book on the bottom is another type altogether. I Love Vikings! This book was recommended by someone I have done volunteer activities with and it has gotten awesome reviews.Let's go read! Stacy Sundgren, Farmgirl Sister 7112
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 13 2020 : 1:10:18 PM Welcome Heather! You TBR pile looks amazing and it sounds like your off to a good start. Good luck with your badges! Krista
hasmartz	Posted - Jul 11 2020 : 2:11:04 PM I work in 2 libraries, so my TBR pile is often pretty eclectic, depending on what's new. I'm about halfway through Untamed, but that cookbook is calling me :) Heather Ann Martz MJF #8097
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jun 17 2020 : 1:57:25 PM Hi, Kelsi! Thanks for sharing your TBR pile. Sounds like you are off to a great start. You will have your stack finished in no time! Enjoy all your books! Krista
KWilliams	Posted - Jun 17 2020 : 1:20:19 PM Oh, I also love seeing the stacks of books that everyone has posted. Thank you! Kelsi Kelsi R Williams
KWilliams	Posted - Jun 17 2020 : 12:44:04 PM Here is my short TBR stack. Okay, I have already finished the one on top. It was such a quick and entertaining read. I have already passed it along to my auntie who I know will enjoy it. I am about 3/4 of the way through the second book and I am really enjoying learning about the history of both the beef and dairy industries. I have also ordered a few more that should be coming next week. I would love to join a book club, but all the ones that I know of do not read the style of books that I enjoy. I do participate in the Science Friday book club when I can. Thank you, Kelsi Kelsi R Williams
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Aug 09 2019 : 1:12:36 PM Judith, great TBR pile. I looks like you may have already started your first book. Enjoy reading your books and working on your badge. Let us know how good the books are! Krista
StitchinWitch	Posted - Aug 07 2019 : 2:39:51 PM My beginning TBR, started by my Secret Sis with Ken Follett's Hornet Flight Judith 7932 Happiness is Homemade
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Aug 05 2019 : 2:49:41 PM Judith, those are some great badges to start with! What book did you get? Krista
StitchinWitch	Posted - Aug 04 2019 : 3:31:33 PM I'm just starting on badges, beginning with Bibliophile, Herbs, and Bread making. My Secret Sis sent me a book to start with. Judith 7932 Happiness is Homemade
MaryJanesNiece	Posted - Jul 12 2019 : 1:02:24 PM Lori, you have been super busy! I hope you are enjoying all your badges and learning so many things! Krista
