On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a giant buddy read to be proud of and recommending specific books
Current Reads: a mish mash of books across all genres
Deep Dive: Meredith and Kaytee go into the specifics of writing a review and sharing it
Book Presses: last presses of season 4! A violent but huggable book and a mystery that looks like it contains something different
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!
