On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: a Christmas gift and a reading shift

• Current Reads: we’ve got a few unintentional book flights in this set of six and we love that!

• Deep Dive: we are pulling back the curtain with reading goals for 2021 and business goals for 2021, and letting you know how you can help!

• Book Presses: a crowd-pleaser and productivity to start the year off right
