On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: broken reading and reading companions
Current Reads: some brand new books and a surprising classic
Deep Dive: our between-book processes
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
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!
We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
