Thanks for joining us!\"Anna<\/p>\n

I’m Anna, and I’m thrilled to be hanging out with you this afternoon as we count down to Australia’s top-voted book of the 21st century.<\/p>\n

All you need to know about me can probably be gleaned from my own voting card. I love books from all over the world \u2014 especially Ireland. Will any of these make it into the top 25, I wonder?<\/p>\n

And don’t forget, you can tune in live to the Top 100 countdown on Radio National on your radio or via the ABC listen app.<\/p>\n

Welcome to our live coverage of ABC Radio National’s Top 100 Books of the 21st century\"Nicola<\/p>\n

Hello to all the bibliophiles out there!<\/p>\n

I’m Nicola Heath and together with Anna Levy from Radio National, we’ll be taking you through the final 25 of the inaugural Top 100 Books countdown.<\/p>\n

The action kicked off yesterday and it’s been a literary extravaganza.<\/p>\n

We’d love to know what books you voted for and which book you think will take out the top spot. Will it be a Tim Winton classic? Or an international prizewinner like Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall? (Yes, both in my top 10!)<\/p>\n

Let us know in the comments and don’t forget to use the Reactions on each post to get involved!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1m agoSun 19 Oct 2025 at 3:23am Thanks for joining us!
