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

• Bookish Moments: a big sale, a reading husband, and 2023 reading observations

• Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately

• Deep Dive: author completists - the ones we’ve read all of and the ones we want to read all of

• The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about 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! 

We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
