Today, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: connecting through book recommendations and having the exact right reading experience

• Current Reads: an unpopular opinion and some unputdownable fiction

• Deep Dive: the title words and cover images that draw us in

• Book Presses: a few more gorgeous covers for your consideration
