On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Roxanna and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a circle-back moment and reading blankies
Current Reads: lots of great non-fiction and some surprising hits
Deep Dive: getting out of a reading funk - some strategies!
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
