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

• Bookish Moments: a birthday gift for a friend and winter prep

• Current Reads: we've got lots of five-star books for you today readers, and one that didn't hit the mark

• Deep Dive: the fictional worlds we would love to live in (or maybe just visit)

• Book Presses: a graphic novel and a perfectly quiet winter book

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!
