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

• Bookish Moments: a giant buddy read to be proud of and recommending specific books

• Current Reads: a mish mash of books across all genres

• Deep Dive: Meredith and Kaytee go into the specifics of writing a review and sharing it

• Book Presses: last presses of season 4! A violent but huggable book and a mystery that looks like it contains something different

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!

*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. If you’d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your laundry detergent, if you recently got obsessed with switching up your laundry game) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
