On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: reporting back on homework and an exciting interview
Current Reads: some great summer break reads from both of us, and one spicy opinion
Deep Dive: we report back on how we spent our five weeks off and how much we missed you all!
Book Presses: one last time - a very Kaytee book and a series starter to keep you going.
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 laundry detergent, if you recently got obsessed with switching up your laundry game) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
