Season 5, Episode 35: Mysteries and Romance + Books We Want to Own


Listen Later

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

  • Bookish Moments: reading mojo and a package of bookish delights

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

  • Deep Dive: how do we decide which books to own or keep?

  • 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!
