Today, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: the fifth COVID(eo) episode and a new look

• Current Reads: books that other people made us read, and another (shocking) second in a series

• Deep Dive: our processes for reading non-fiction by genre and format

• Book Presses: some non-fiction to round out your reading life

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!
