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

• Bookish Moments: some wonderful bookish podcast episodes we had to highlight

• Current Reads: books that have complicated feelings attached, and ones that you cannot “at us” about

• Deep Dive: we are curating the perfect reading space

• Book Presses: uncomplicated feelings about books from authors we love

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!
