This is Rebecca Shinsky, whoa,

This is the Book Right Podcast.

It's a weekly news and talk show about what's new, cool,

and worth talking about in the world of books and reading.

I'm Jeff O'Neill.

She is Rebecca Shinsky, who a recording on Wednesday, May 5, 2021.

And today is our summer preview draft.

I am out for vindication.

We've got a lot to talk about before we get started here because I've got several concerns I need to address.

Are you concerned you're going to lose this time?

I'm concerned I will not win fairly because this because we talked explicitly about how everyone wrote in to say boy I thought of Rebecca was going to win I usually like Rebecca stuff better

I'm worried about the sympathy vote poisoning otherwise

sympathy vote another wise pure and fair test of strength I think that by sympathy what you mean is people like me and I make good choices.

The narrative for that to be true is that everyone accidentally voted for me last time. They got confused and said, you know what? So I'm

concerned people are coming back to say, you know what? I really feel bad about Jeff's clear and decisive victory last time.

You're like advance raiding on my parade.

But see, then if we're both wet, then we're both easy.

That's the thing.

Little concern.

Maybe we shouldn't take votes this time

if you can't handle it.

Oh, I can handle it.
