Here we go.

Shrifa Williams, Rebecca Shinsky. I'm Jeff O'Neill, the patron you know who we are. We're going to talk about our ballots that we submitted to the New York Times for their survey of the

hundred best books of the century. I think we'll do first is we'll just each read our

lists, talk for a minute about each other's

lists, and then maybe get to what the things on our list we were surprised to see there or not,

and sort of how they related to the list at large.

Shrifah, since you're joining us on a Patreon, why don't you take honors and

read your list first?

Okay, so my list was Braining Sweetgrass by Robin Wall, Kimmerr, and Gideon the 9th by Tams and

Mure becoming Michelle Obama, our share of night by Mariana and Riequez, translated

by Megan McDowell. Fates and Furies, Lauren Groff exit West, Mosin Hamid, Never Let Me Go,

Katsu Ishiguro, the Underground Railroad, Colston Whitehead, homegoing.

Yeah, Jesse, the fifth season and K

Jemison.

Okay, it's an excellent list.

I like all these books.

I think the only what I haven't read is our share of night,

which I know people like.
