Welcome to the Currently Reading podcast!

In our inaugural episode, we try out our format for the first time. You get to hear us get over our microphone nerves and get comfortable chatting with each other.

We share a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each of us \\u2013 something readerly in our lives that we want to highlight, a few of the books we\\u2019ve finished reading lately, and what\\u2019s up next on the TBR pile. We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we\\u2019d like to put into every reader\\u2019s hands: something that has ranked on our favorites list or been well-beloved by the people in our lives that we\\u2019ve convinced to read it. Perhaps it will become one of your favorites as well.

Time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book we mentioned in this episode. If you\\u2019d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don\\u2019t scroll down!
