I mostly loved the 22 books I‘ve read from this list and feel inspired to read more. Although, I have to admit that I DNF‘d their top pick. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #nyt #nytbest100

AmyG Same here. I bailed on it. 🤣 4mo
rachelk @AmyG I really think it was a weird choice for the top spot! 🫣😂 4mo
AmyG I think quite a few books were odd picks. Whatever. 🤷‍♀️ 4mo
Suet624 😂😂😂 I just saw this post. Yeah, such a weird choice. 4mo

Thanks to @Kitta for posting hers.

Are the best lists the ones you disagree with?
(I'm never going to be 100% behind any list with this #1)

The 100 Best Books of the 21st Century https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/books/best-books-21st-century.html?unlo...

thegirlwiththelibrarybag It‘s quite niche - heavy on the litfic & I think quite interesting that no YA titles made it. I was surprised at how many titles I had no awareness of (I work in a library, I spend my days surrounded by books - even if they are not ones I personally want to read, I thought my general awareness was higher). I found the author submission lists that I saw floating around on social media the day before the “official” list dropped more interesting. 4mo
charl08 @thegirlwiththelibrarybag the author choices are fun 4mo

tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I have only read 7- I‘m glad or at least don‘t feel as bad that I haven‘t heard of the majority of these titles if you haven‘t. @charl08 great job!!! I obviously don‘t read a lot of litfic… 4mo
tpixie @charl08 thanks for the link. Apparently my reading habits are most like James Patterson‘s, Jenna Bush Hager‘s , and Ann Napolitano‘s! 4mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie, which is why I feel the author submissions are more interesting than the list… it‘s more personal. 4mo

I get list-frantic this time of year. A solution to the problem of “how am I going to read all these books!?!” is choosing shorter titles to listen to. Eastbound was first up from the #NYT top 10 list, one not on my radar. A book in translation written years ago but feels very “now” as a Russian solider meets a French traveler on a train. It felt like being on a train: chugging along at a fast pace, full of people and sights and sounds.

TheKidUpstairs I'm so excited to read this one. It took me by surprise in the NYT list because I'd never ever heard of it! Glad to see it got a pick from you! 12mo

December #BookSpinBingo plans. Though I have a feeling things will go off the rails as I‘m inundated with best of the year lists and get squirrel-y around the holidays. 🐿️
Most of these are #tob24 long listers with a few #NYT best of the year and #NaturaLitsy and bonus #europacollective

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 12mo
Megabooks Great list!! 12mo

Borrowed on Libby, loved it so much, purchased my own copy to keep on my shelves. This story will forever stay with me. #pulitzer #nonfiction #andreaelliot #dasani #nyt #nyc

marleed I do that often. I know I don‘t purchase as many books I‘m not sure about because of my public library‘s association with Libby but it sure justifies that I can purchase what were originally 5* library reads! 2y
DisneyFan @marleed Yes!! You totally understand! (edited) 2y

Stopped at Starbucks to get coffee and snagged the last hard copy of today's NYT, which has this annotated version of the Constitution, and which I've been meaning to grab all day. Since it's already after 8pm, my favorite barista let me take it for free. #realnews #NYT

Cinfhen Yay! Starbucks for the win☕️ 7y
