Season 2, Episode 38: Tackling Controversial Titles + How We Read Series Books

Today, Kaytee and Meredith are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: our bookish friends buddy read of Still Life by Louise Penny with the Patrons of Currently Reading

• Current Reads: we each have three books to share, but we’re messing with the format a bit this week as the discussion needs some nuance.

• Deep Dive: reading books in a series and what we do when “the next one” releases

• Book Presses: a few of our favorite series choices to round out the deep dive

As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!
