Welcome to the Book Ride 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. Today is Thursday, June 9, 2022.

I'm Jeff O'Neill.

I'm here with Rebecca Shinsky,

interested once again in listening to that. Speaking of I'll continue on that

moment for a minute right after we

record this recording next week's bonus episode I'm very excited and I'm very

Which is we're looking at the books of the year 2000

and we're power ranking the top 10.

We'll talk about what that means. Maybe we'll even make it up a little as we go along to see
