On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a rhythm change and deeper reading
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: we are bossing the TBRs of some bookish friends that we know really well and don’t know at all
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!
