Talk Booky To MeTalk Booky Blind Ranking: OneIn this special episode of Talk Booky, we, Felicia and Aaron, decide to rank some book related topics in a way that is a little more...competitive? Mean? Fun? A little of each. We choose four categories and compile lists of items for each category. The list is then read to the other cohost, one item at a time, and the listening cohost has to choose to keep or leave each item. The catch is that we only have five "keeps" and five "leaves," so without a little strategy, we might end up with our favorite book about Minotaurs...2025-02-0929 min
