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

• Bookish Moments: seeing each other in person and comfort Kindle reading

• Current Reads: books new and old, from new to beloved authors

• Deep Dive: what we think about "best" versus "favorite" books

• 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!
