Season 3, Episode 26: I Live There Now + Books That Make Us LOL

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

• Bookish Moments: a mini book club and a lack of restraint

• Current Reads: fantasy is the name of the game here, along with some YA, a book pan, and a graphic novel

• Deep Dive: we are chatting about the books that made us actually laugh out loud

• Book Presses: a middle-grade treasure and a humorous work of stunt journalism

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! 

New: we are now including transcripts of the episode. These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!
