Transcript excerpt

I read 30 books. Here are my top three. Number three, Salt to the Sea. This is a historical fiction that takes place in Worse War two with four different plots. A Nazi, a Lithuanian nurse, a Prussian artist, and a Polish teenager. Takes kind of a different POV of World War two. It's not your everyday. It's It's not your everyday World War two. Short chapters that change POVs better chapter. It was gripping, heartwarming with worst worse and turns. Number two, tier life of AJ Fickory. This is about a man who opens a bookstore on rank island. It's wholesome, it's sweet, but there's still a lot of really juicy conflict in it. This author, at least another good, blew up. This one is a lot less no. Still Extremely good. Made me cry. I'd want everyone to read it. At number one, we have shark heart. This is about a couple who are deep in love and one of them gets diagnosed with a special disease where they start turning into a great white shark. Crazy concept. Everybody looks at me crazy when I say it is my favorite book, but I loved it. I've never seen grief or love described so well. It's I'm speechless. It's so good. Book of the year. I rest my case.
