Katrisa wrote: "Esther are you reading the novellas too?"

Yes. My library has them all so I am making my way through it all. The novella I have read so far provided backstory. I read one on Fred, Bobbie (not in the first book i think but a favorite of mine) and Amos so far.

I showed 15 unread, but then I realized I had Card 9, History, Nay - River Marked entered without a badge number.

I fixed that, and now I'm showing 14 left to read. My spreadsheet agrees with the list you've got above.

[Katrisa]

do you have 60 books read for badge 5 then? Where am I missing a book?

[Janice, Moderator]

I count 61 books.

thanks Janice - I'll go find which one I missed. Of course it has to be when I'm 61 books in!

[Katrisa]

Ok - it was Card 17 Science Yay A Pale View of Hills that I was missing in my list. So I am not sure which post I missed but can I just count books from 61 now?

3. Down from the Mountain: The Life and Death of a Grizzly Bear
4. Audio (Hardcover pages 288)
5. Theme of animal research or preservation
6. This is sort of both animal research and preservation. The author writes about the clash of grizzlies and farmers/ranchers in Montana and tries to find a way for the two to co-exist and ends up trying to find care for orphaned bear cubs. DId you know a bear enclosure at a zoo costs like $11 million just to build!?!

[Janice, Moderator]

✔️

Wow! That's a lot of money. Swanky residence for the bear. :)

[Cherie]

I remember visiting a small bear sanctuary near Helena about 20 years ago. There were three black bear cubs in small wood and wire enclosures. I think they had been rescued from a fire. Bear conservation has come a long way since then.
