On this week's episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith are joined by Laura Tremaine, and we are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: a bookish moment of a lifetime, a new device, and a family read-aloud.

• Current Reads: six books that range from poetry to memoir to thriller to to something a bit more difficult to an interesting conversation about sex in middle marriage.

• Deep Dive: we are talking all things about Laura's forthcoming book and the conversation is just pure golden goodness.

• Book Presses: an unforgettable collection of essays, a dystopian novel, and advocating for therapy

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!
