On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a Kindle device hack and the Edgar awards
Current Reads: books that whelm us and surprise us in the best ways
Deep Dive: the different ways we interact with our books and what we are reading
Book Presses: a verse novel and an oldie but goodie
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!
*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. If you’d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your dishwasher detergent!) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
