Season 5, Episode 27: Popcorn Reading + Joys and Challenges of Reading as Our "Job"


Listen Later

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

  • Bookish Moments: a meeting with an app and a personal audiobook win

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

  • Deep Dive: we’ve been asked how it affects our reading lives to have to do it as a “job,” and we’re answering those questions today!

  • 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!
