Gem of Books | The NYT Best Books of the 21st Century Missed These Corkers! @GemofBooks | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
The New York Times made some questionable choices in their 'Best Books of the 21st Century' list. I would recommend that you check out the reaction videos here:

And if you want to throw you choices into the mix you can do so in Shelly's google form linked in this video: youtube.com/watch?v=dclvQG1TfGQ&t=196s
