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

• Bookish Moments: reading to a new generation and an online event

• Current Reads: six books we read over the summer that we want you know to about

• Deep Dive: slow but steady reading, what works in this format and where do we fit it in?

• The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes over our reading lives

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!*
