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

• Bookish Moments: regular reader kids and bookish friends lavishing love

• Current Reads: mysteries abound, as does middle grade, plus some overlap between the two

• Deep Dive: how many books do you read at once?

• Book Presses: a book that shifted our perspective and a retelling of a Greek myth

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! 

New: we are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!
