But All the Colors 181 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: of the Dark really kept me guessing. 182 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: That was four and five, three and four, three and 183 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 2: four okay, Book five. 184 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 3: Book five is okay, So I guess I have another 185 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 3: by two authors, and I forgot to write this one down, 186 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: so I'm gonna go five is Code Girls, The Untold 187 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: Story of the American Women code Breakers of World War 188 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: Two by Eliza Mundy, and I believe I gave that 189 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: one five stars, so it is about Synopsis's Code Girls 190 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: is a book by e. Liza Mundy that tells the 191 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 3: story of the American women who secretly broke codes during 192 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: World War Two, meaning like they figured out where like 193 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: German ships were going to be when they were moving 194 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: in all of these things. I love this book because, 195 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 3: as we all know, I love a book about a 196 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 3: badass female heroin most of the books on my lists 197 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: this year are about women, I don't think. I think 198 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 3: All the Colors of the Dark is maybe the only 199 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: one that has like a prominent male character. I didn't 200 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 3: have time to read about men this year. 201 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I know, I'm going back to what the 202 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: episode they came out before this. Of my underrated movies, 203 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: a lot of those were women's stories. Yeah, female directed, 204 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: female starring female leads. 205 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: That's where we've been deprived of female stories for so long. 206 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 2: In me and people, Yeah, underrated. 207 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: I loved this because the idea was that you know, 208 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 3: the men all go to fight off in the war, 209 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: so women would kind of take like the administrative jobs. 210 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: No women were. 211 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: Solving, I mean and when I I still to this 212 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 3: day don't entirely understand how they broke the codes because 213 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: these things were encrypted with an encryption key that changed 214 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: every day. So they had these machines that you would 215 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 3: type a message and then you would like encrypt it, 216 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 3: and so like the third letter would shift to become 217 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,839 Speaker 3: the seventh letter. So they got the finish puzzle, and 218 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 3: they worked backwards and solved all of these things and 219 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: it became like a fully readable message. My mind is literally, 220 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 3: if you feel like giving yourself a headache, look up 221 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 3: the machines that they used for code breaking, because I mean, 222 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: I have a master's degree, and that thing looks like 223 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: I'd never be able to do it. 224 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: That's worse than No Kim. 225 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: Trying to figure out how to hack into something exactly. 226 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 3: So then going off of that one, my next book, 227 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 3: book six is The Sisterhood, also by Eliza Mundy, So 228 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: this is a book about women in the CIA and 229 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 3: this one. 230 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 1: Phenomenal also gave this one a five. I love books about. 231 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:45,080 Speaker 3: Women in professions that like the world deemed too frail, 232 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: too fragile, that women wouldn't be good at Women in 233 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: the CIA so fascinating to me. Learned a lot about 234 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: just the CIA as an organization, a lot of interesting 235 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 3: stuff in there, specifically a round pre nine to eleven, 236 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: what was happening with intelligence and like learning about organizations 237 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 3: plotting things. I really want to say the word on 238 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: this podcast, hopefully everyone else does. I thought that was 239 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 3: really interesting and about how like women would go out 240 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 3: in the field and they would do these undercover jobs 241 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 3: and they were better at being undercover operatives because no 242 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 3: one suspected that women were undercover. Ciah and Say were 243 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 3: expecting it to be the men, and so women were 244 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 3: kind of the like surprise, Like I've been collecting intell 245 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 3: on you. Eliza Mundy's research is so detailed, like her 246 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: notes at the end about how much research she does 247 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: is what makes her think an incredible like investigative journalist 248 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 3: and to be able to tell these stories because it's like, 249 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 3: I mean, she's got like the days the transcripts, Like 250 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: she is going off of so much research and then 251 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 3: is able to put it into a story that doesn't 252 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 3: bore you. It's like some of these things if you 253 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 3: just start like reading case reports, but she like weaves 254 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: it into a story. So I highly recommend that one. 255 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: Next one, Let's see what book is this? This is 256 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 3: book four seven? Oh, I thought we're going the other oay, 257 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 3: I lost dragon numbers. All right, we're at book seven seven. 258 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: We're going to go into a break here and come 259 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,959 Speaker 2: back with the rest of the list because got to 260 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: pay the bill around here. We are back, and we're 261 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 2: back book seven, all right. 262 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 3: Book seven is Becoming Madam Secretary by Stephanie Dre also 263 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: gave that one a five. So this one is about 264 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 3: the woman who would become the Secretary of State under FDR. 265 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: So interesting. 266 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 3: She is responsible for like the creation of Social Security 267 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 3: and her relationship working with FDR. I was like, women 268 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 3: politicians don't always get their own stories. Again, deprived of 269 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 3: women's stories. 270 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: Thought that one was really good, couldn't put it down. 271 00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: Book eight is All You Have to Do Is Call 272 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 3: by Harry Mayer, and I gave that one of four 273 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: point seventy five out of five. One of the things 274 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: that I learned about this year, and I feel that 275 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: it's very timely in the light of twenty twenty four, 276 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 3: is about the Jane Network in the seventies before bro 277 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 3: v Wade was passed, and it was an organization of 278 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 3: women who first just kind of connected women to safe 279 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: abortion providers, and then the women in the group like 280 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 3: actually learned how to provide these services. 281 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: So it's a group of women. 282 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: They were like, why aren't we the ones doing this 283 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: if we're the ones having to receive it, and like 284 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: know how women feel. So it was a story of 285 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,839 Speaker 3: the Jane Network, and the idea was all you have 286 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 3: to do is call and you just say. There was 287 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 3: another book that I read where you would say, like 288 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 3: I'm looking for Jane, and that meant you needed access 289 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: to abortion services. 290 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: And I won't make this. 291 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 3: Political, but as someone with a background in public health, 292 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 3: I do have a master's degree in it, access to 293 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 3: women's healthcare is one of the most important things. So 294 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 3: the idea was these women banded together in the early 295 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 3: seventies and they said, we're going to be the safe 296 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 3: space for each other. And initially, like I said, they 297 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 3: were reaching out to mail doctors asking them to partner 298 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 3: with them, and then finally they were like, why are 299 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 3: we sending all these women to male doctors who like 300 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 3: aren't doing this. So they became trained and they would 301 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 3: like have a full operation, and I thought it was 302 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 3: so cool that they were willing to take that risk 303 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 3: to provide healthcare for women. So there's a lot of 304 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: books about that. I've read a couple fiction and then 305 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: I read a nonfiction one. They're all kind of similar 306 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 3: titled like Oh you have to Call looking for Jane. 307 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: I think one was just called the Jane Network and 308 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 3: it was actually written by a former member, so that 309 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: one was really interesting. Next one, book nine is We 310 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter five star. 311 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: It is also a mini series on Hulu. 312 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 3: I would recommend reading the book first because you get 313 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 3: obviously way more of the stories than you do in 314 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: Hulu mini series. But I thought the miniseriies was really 315 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: well done. I think it took it so the book 316 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 3: spans an entire family across like twenty years, so the 317 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 3: mini series I feel like, just had to kind of condense. 318 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 2: It afferent mini series. 319 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 3: I thought the cast was great. Joey King Logan Lerman 320 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 3: is really well done. I think it's six or eight episodes, 321 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: maybe eight came out earlier this year. I'd had the 322 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 3: book on my list forever and it was just one 323 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 3: of those that, like I kept getting off the wait 324 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: list for another Library book and another Library book, and 325 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 3: then it was just at the bottom of my list. 326 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 3: And then when I saw the mini series was coming out, 327 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: I was like, I need to read that, and then 328 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: I read it and my life was changed. It was 329 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: It's one of those that you read it and you're like, 330 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: how is this story real? Because it's almost so unbelievable 331 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 3: the things that they went through and endured that you're like, 332 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 3: this has to be made up, but it's not. And 333 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: I think that's my fascination with World War two books 334 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 3: is that. And I've said this before, it's still it's 335 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 3: not even it's what eighty years ago, Like I can't 336 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 3: imagine people going through these things and surviving, but they did, 337 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: and they're still telling their stories. And I'm just mind 338 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: blown of the things. Like I talked about the people 339 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: in Poland that lived in the sewers, people we talked 340 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: about it with the Blitz movie, people sending their kids 341 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 3: away to keep them safe. Like the things that humans 342 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: endured and made it through to live and tell the 343 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: story about feels. So I just can't fathom it. I 344 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: simply can't fathom the way that they were treated and 345 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: the conditions that they lived in for so many years, 346 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: and like the human spirit prevailed and like people just 347 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: did what they had to do to survive. And I'm 348 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: sure we all think when push comes to show, if 349 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 3: we could do it, but I'm like, I don't know. 350 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: I don't know that I could. So I highly recommend. 351 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: If I was going to recommend just one off this list, 352 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: I think it would be We Were the Lucky One. Yes, 353 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 3: I think it would because it's just it's based on 354 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 3: the author's family, so it's someone who has like the 355 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 3: first hand interviews and experience, and I think that makes 356 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 3: it more personable too, because she writes with an emotion. 357 00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: And then it's cool you can read it and then 358 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,040 Speaker 2: go watch to see your. 359 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I highly recommend reading it before you watch the series. Okay, 360 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 3: Book number ten, The Six by Lauren Grush five stars, 361 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: and I'm now so obsessed with space, which I mentioned 362 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 3: briefly when we did the Underrated Movies that you had 363 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 3: talked about fle Me to the Moon. I have a 364 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 3: fascination with all things space. Now I want to understand it. 365 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: So the six is about the first six. 366 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 3: American women in space, because the Russians did beat us 367 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 3: two that unfortunately in sent women to space before we did. 368 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: But it's the first six. 369 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 3: It was the class of like nine, either nineteen seventy 370 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: six or nineteen seventy eight that NASA first started accepting women. 371 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 3: And so it tells the full story of the first 372 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 3: six women, Sally Ride, Judy Resnick, Shannon Lucid, Kathy Sullivan, 373 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 3: Raya Sedden, and Anna Fisher. I think, and I just 374 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 3: did that off the top of my memory, thank you. 375 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: And I think the order was Sally Sally Ride was 376 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 3: the first, Sally, Judy, Anna, Kathi, Rayah and Shannon, and 377 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: then I went on a deep dive and Raya Seddin, 378 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: who was the fifth woman. She was trained as a surgeon. 379 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 3: She's from Murphysboro, Tennessee. She then went on to work 380 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 3: in Nashville, like in medicine, which I thought was really cool. 381 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400 Speaker 3: Like imagine you go somewhere and it's like, oh yeah, 382 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: she was a former astronaut, like she casually like still 383 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 3: doing surgeries and stuff. I think she went on to 384 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: hold some leadership positions, but I thought that was cool, 385 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 3: kind of a local celeb. 386 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 2: And all those women paved the way for Sandra Bully 387 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 2: to go to space. 388 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 3: Yes, they did so then and history is not a 389 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 3: spoiler alert. So the book ends on Judy Resnick being 390 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: on the Challenger when it exploded. So now I'm reading, well, 391 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 3: I started reading the book about the Challenger and then 392 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: weird full circle. I'm in the Sharon mc man Virtual 393 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 3: book Club and Challenger was actually picked just one of 394 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 3: our books. 395 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 1: For next semester. 396 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 2: You're already reading it. 397 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: He's already reading. 398 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 3: It, which means we get another plug if you would 399 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 3: like to join Sharon McMahon's book club. 400 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: It's so cool. 401 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 3: You get author meetings, so we're gonna get to hear 402 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 3: from the author that wrote the Challenger book, and I 403 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: want to hear all about his research. But I have 404 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 3: fascination with space now, and most of these women were mothers, 405 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 3: so they had kids and they were like going to 406 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 3: space and then just hearing all the things that they 407 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 3: did in space, like they would do a space walk 408 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 3: and they'd use this robot arm to pull out like 409 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: what they called the payloads. Fascinated by it. So loved 410 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: that book. That was my eightieth book of the year. 411 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: Once I started it, I was like, this is gonna 412 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 3: be on my top ten list. I was like, this 413 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: is so good. And then I actually found out that 414 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 3: a friend of ours knows the author, So I'm gonna 415 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 3: have to see if I can get the author's contact 416 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 3: just so I can write her and be like, I 417 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: loved this book. 418 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm now obsessed with space. 419 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 2: You know how much I love space. The crazy thing 420 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 2: to me is when you look at those like scales 421 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 2: of like how small we are compared to everything. When 422 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 2: you just start pulling out further and further and further 423 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 2: and there's all these different planets, this huge galaxy. We're 424 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 2: just so small. It's this little rock just floating here. 425 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: That's what blows my mind about space, Like what is 426 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 2: out there? I will go? How long will it take 427 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 2: you to get there? Some say that the aliens aren't 428 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,360 Speaker 2: invading the world, they are leaving it. They've been here 429 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: this whole time, and they're like, we gotta go. 430 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: One thing I learned was one of the missions I 431 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 3: don't remember which one their windshield like had a slight 432 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: cracking it. Thankfully it didn't like fully bust because they 433 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 3: would have fall died, Like your windshield can't come off 434 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: in space, like you can't be exposed to that. But 435 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 3: it was from a paint chip, because things in space 436 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 3: moved so fast that a paint chip flew off the 437 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: space shuttle hit the windshield and cracked it. 438 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: That's also what blows my mind about space. I literally, 439 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: how can you go through and not be hitting things 440 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: all the time that are making holes in the spaceship 441 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 2: as that happened, I don't know. 442 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 3: And then like it's just funny too, like this world 443 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 3: was fully designed for men, and it's like women are 444 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: an afterthought most of the time. Like they designed all 445 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 3: the like space suits and stuff for men, and then 446 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,359 Speaker 3: they had to be like, well, how are women going 447 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 3: to pee in space? And I'm just like why are 448 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 3: we were an afterthought? 449 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 2: And every design are they addressed in the book? 450 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: They do? They do? 451 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 3: They basically like they had to do like a it's 452 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 3: almost like a tube that like connects to you because 453 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,120 Speaker 3: women can't. It's a lot harder for us to pee 454 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 3: into something steadily than it is for men. But yeah, 455 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: so I thought those books I would highly recommend. I 456 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 3: think the lowest one on the list is a four point. 457 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 2: Twenty five strong list. 458 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: I will also give up plug for the app story Graph. 459 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: How do you say, where can people find Do you 460 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: have that boasted on there. 461 00:20:59,200 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: My book reviews? 462 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 2: Yeah? 463 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 3: Like I have all the books I've read this Yeah, okay, 464 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 3: so I have a good Reads, which I'm still using 465 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: because I know some people just to really love good Reads. 466 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 3: But I'm also using a new app called story Graph. 467 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 3: It is female founded. There's no ads. You can do 468 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: like a five dollars a month subscription which I have, 469 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 3: which allows you to build really cool like charts and 470 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 3: graphs based on what you read for the year. But 471 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 3: the biggest thing about story Graph is that you can 472 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 3: rate books by quarters, so point two, five point five 473 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 3: point seven five. My biggest hang up with good Reads 474 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: besides the fact that it glitches half the time, so 475 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 3: you can only do whole numbers. 476 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: So like, you'll go on my good Reads and. 477 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 3: All of these will probably be a five because they 478 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 3: were above a four, so I didn't want to give 479 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 3: it a four, but not all of them were a five. 480 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 3: But on story Graph, you can see exactly what you 481 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 3: give things, so I think you have to add people 482 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 3: in StoryGraph. We'll put that in the show notes. Because 483 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 3: I don't remember my username, it's probably the Kelsey Rod 484 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 3: or something. And we'll put my good Reads on there 485 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 3: as well. I love hearing what other people are reading. 486 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 3: I like seeing on Goodreads what everyone's reading. Shout out 487 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 3: to my friend Mandy who got me into the Sharon 488 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 3: McMahon book Club. 489 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: It's so much fun. I think that's all I am 490 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 1: to say. 491 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: I didn't do an honorable mention because if every other book, 492 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 3: all the other seventy are honorable mentions. 493 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: You can go look at out everything you've read. All 494 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: the other honorable mentions are on there. Yes, for me. 495 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 2: My favorite comic I read this year the series was 496 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 2: Ultimate Spider Man, which is Spider Man now and like 497 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: his mid thirties. He's an adult married to Mary Jane. 498 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: They have a couple of kids, and he's Spider Man. 499 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: He that's when he becomes Spider Man, instead of becoming 500 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 2: Spider Man as a teenager. He's in his thirties. So 501 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 2: I loved this series. 502 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: That is really interesting. 503 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 2: I think it would make a great movie because they've 504 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 2: done everything else they've done high school teenager. I think 505 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: having somebody in their thirties, which is a lot of 506 00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 2: Spider Man fans like me who grew up with you know, 507 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: the nine show, Toby maguire, you've had all those iterations. 508 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 2: I think that would really speak to people now who 509 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 2: are like people who grew up with Spider Man in 510 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 2: that era of like, oh, it's somebody now at our 511 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: age being Spider Man. But he probably had to take 512 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 2: like a lot of advil and you know, have other 513 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: things going on.

Hold on, I still feel 549 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 3: like I had some other book thoughts. My favorite book 550 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 3: light is called The Mighty Bright. I can put that 551 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 3: in the show notes as well.

Oh, 558 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 3: this year we are going to do We didn't do 559 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 3: it last year. I talked about it, and then when 560 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 3: it was my birthday, people are like, I hope you 561 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 3: get your like books at the bookstore. We are going 562 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 3: to do the thing. Let's set the ground rules now, Okay, 563 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 3: where we go to our low bookstore? Shout out Parnassis 564 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 3: greatest place ever? How long do I have to go 565 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 3: around the store to get books? 566 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: Ninety seconds? 567 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 3: Do I get like a pre Do I get a 568 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 3: warm up lap? Because I have to read about some 569 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,080 Speaker 3: of these books. I can't just buy based on the comer. 570 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 2: You can know going into it, but it's in ninety seconds. 571 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 2: How many can you grab? I feel like you could 572 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 2: have a list, but you can't go through and see 573 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: where everything is. I think that's part of it. Who 574 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: because that's the that's. 575 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 1: Okay, two minutes. I think ninety seconds too short. 576 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 2: I think ninety seconds is good. I don't like that 577 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 2: because it's a skill thing, Like you have ninety seconds 578 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 2: to get all the books? How many can you get? 579 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: But I don't necessarily know what I want? 580 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 2: That's what you can do. You can look it up 581 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 2: before and have a list and then you have to 582 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 2: go find them ninety seconds because if you have two minutes, 583 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 2: that's a lot of time. Then it becomes less of like, 584 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 2: oh I had to get these quickly. They'll be like, 585 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 2: oh I can, I can take some time. I think 586 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,160 Speaker 2: the ninety seconds puts the pressure on you. 587 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: And what if it's crowded in there? Can we extend 588 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: the time. 589 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: That's ninety seconds. 590 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: I can't mow people over. 591 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 2: That's part of the game, that's what makes it fun. 592 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't want to agree to these terms and conditions. 593 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 2: Initially I was thinking sixty seconds. I thought ninety seconds 594 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: was being generous. I think nineties perfect. Okay, I think 595 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: that makes it fun. And you can film a video 596 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: in ninety seconds. 597 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: Boom, I'm not filming the video. I'm too busy looking. 598 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 2: I'm filming it ninety seconds. That's the only rule. In 599 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: ninety seconds. You can have a list going into it, 600 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: but you can't go through and plot it out. You 601 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 2: can't like go in and do a test run. It's 602 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:38,919 Speaker 2: ninety seconds. 603 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I know the layout of the story. 604 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, you already, you already kind of know the layouts 605 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 2: you already have an advantage there. 606 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: Okay, fine, are we shaking on it? 607 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 2: Shake?
