Season 4, Episode 3: Going Noodle + Venus Flytrap Books

57 min • 16 augusti 2021

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

  • Bookish Moments: playing library and a murderful bookmark

  • Current Reads: a bit silly this week, we are threatening book characters with violence and one of us throws a temper tantrum.

  • Deep Dive: we are discussing the genres that pull us in and then we usually hate them, the Venus Flytrap of books

  • Book Presses: a YA fantasy that flies under the radar and a sweet love story

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!
