Episode 1 - A {Slightly Awkward} Beginning


Listen Later

Welcome to the Currently Reading podcast!

In our inaugural episode, we try out our format for the first time. You get to hear us get over our microphone nerves and get comfortable chatting with each other.

We share a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us – something readerly in our lives that we want to highlight, a few of the books we’ve finished reading lately, and what’s up next on the TBR pile. We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to put into every reader’s hands: something that has ranked on our favorites list or been well-beloved by the people in our lives that we’ve convinced to read it. Perhaps it will become one of your favorites as well.

Time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!
