Today, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: white allyship minisode and stepping into hard places with reading

• Current Reads: Some strong opinions, some dissapointments, some heavy-handedness, and some glowing reviews

• Deep Dive: our favorite "beach reads"

• Book Presses: a book that should be read slow but steady, and an old favorite by a beloved author

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!
