Season 5, Episode 41: Summer Reading + Book Hangovers

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

• Bookish Moments: summer reading guides and plane reading

• Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately

• Deep Dive: we are chatting about the dreaded book hangover, the ways we deal with it, and what it means about our reading lives.

• 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!
