What's coming up for #AgBookClub? Fair question. After 60 books (!!!), @FarmKidBlog and @farmoutloud are taking a bit of a break. No real plan just yet, but we'll check back in sometime this spring. Love y'all — we'll see you around!

A6: Buy farms. šŸ˜‰ Jk. Buy books and craft supplies. And read those books and use those craft supplies. šŸ“ššŸ§¶āœ‚ļø #AgBookClub

A4: I mean, the farm. And the opportunity for truck (and now tractor and combine) rides. #AgBookClub

A3: Someone who is a people person and fearless. I am neither of those. 😬 #AgBookClub

A2: More domesticated, but I feel the likelihood of that is higher with three girls. Bet things would’ve been different with a brother. 🫣 #AgBookClub

A1: Honestly? At first I thought it was going to be more agritourism based. Pumpkins plus ā€œvintageā€ looking bus made me think that I guess, plus what I know about ornamental pumpkins in Illinois. #AgBookClub

A5: Maybe 2 stars? It’s not that the stories were bad, but I found it really difficult to stay focused. I really liked the story second from the end, though - I expected more like that, I guess. Felt like the other authors were trying to fit their experiences into… #AgBookClub

…the perspective of a teenager today, which felt odd to me. #AgBookClub

A4: Title was intriguing, so I probably would’ve picked it up on my own. Didn’t love it though. #AgBookClub

A2: A lot. At least on my dad’s side. But that’s something my family tracks religiously. #AgBookClub

A1: ā€œMeme and Papaā€ (pronounced pawpaw) and ā€œGrammy and Papaā€ (pronounced the way you’d expect). I already had a Grandma and Grandpa, which were our great-grandparents. #AgBookClub

A8: Honestly, I prefer standard chapters, but I do really appreciate good storytelling. Or at least a good story line. Something I can get invested in and want to keep reading. #AgBookClub

A2: Town I grew up in (well, near) was 500 or 600. Town I live in (again, near) now is 1400-1500. #AgBookClub

A3: Midwest, but 100% influenced by where I live. Which is the Midwest. šŸ˜… #AgBookClub

A4: Feeling more and more like fiction, having some non-fiction influence? Maybe from the authors’ personal lives? Some more storytelling than others, but not a bad deviation from other books we’ve been reading. #AgBookClub
