Season 3, Episode 42: Buzzy Buzzy Books + Bookish Gifts for Dads

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

• Bookish Moments: reading peace for mama and a bookish husband dilemma

• Current Reads: a few of these ones have been all over Bookstagram, and I guarantee there’s at least one you’ve never heard of

• Deep Dive: books that are perfect for the men in your life

• Book Presses: a non-fiction, self-help book and a magical school that is can’t miss
