On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a giant fanfic and a kid’s rec
Current Reads: books that have very little in common with each other
Deep Dive: a listener-suggested topic, what are the three themes of your reading life?
Book Presses: productivity non-fiction and pregnancy-related non-ficiton
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 (this link only works on the main site). These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!
