The podcast summarizes and tiers ranks 10 years of the speaker's favorite books, book club picks, and book covers featuring eyeballs. The speaker reflects on her reading journey and preferences, highlighting how her tastes have evolved over time and acknowledges the problematic nature of some authors and books she enjoyed in previous years. The speaker concludes by sharing her current opinions on book covers with prominent eyeballs, categorizing them based on her comfort levels.

Book Club Tier Ranking

00:00:45 The speaker shares a tier ranking of her book club picks over four years, categorized as iconic, solid, meh, and woof. This is based on general consensus and discussion, not solely her personal preferences. The list includes titles like 'There's Screaming Now', 'Verity', 'Night Watching', and 'Sister's Lost Nation.'

10 Years of Favorite Books

00:13:17 The speaker tiers ranks her favorite books from the last 10 years into four categories: most epic reading year, living my best life, nothing to write home about, and I will never financially recover from this. Each category reflects a different level of enjoyment, impact, and the speaker's current opinions of those books.

Eyeballs on Book Covers

00:24:04 The speaker discusses her feelings toward the current trend of eyeballs featured on book covers. She categorizes covers into three tiers: 'The Apple of My Eye' for tolerable covers, 'Bombastic Side Eye' for covers she is not enthusiastic about, and 'Cross My Heart, Hope to Die' for the most disturbing covers. Some covers of books that the speaker has read are included, as well as covers of books on her TBR.
