0:41.5

disappointment and shortest book. And we're going to give you guys what book is in each

0:47.1

category for each of us. I'm going to start by prefacing this by saying I think this year, out of the three years we've done this podcast, has been

2:04.8

Red Rising. I think I only read the last, maybe they're not considered this year, Red Rising. I think I only read the last two this year. Anyways, I don't know. It was just a pretty mid for me, I'd say. I don't know

2:12.3
