Meredith and Kaytee return to your feed this week to chat about what we\\u2019ve been reading and what we plan to read in the coming year.

You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host: a reading project for you, our listeners, and New Year\\u2019s gift from the library.

Next, we discuss what we are currently reading, and this week includes some new titles, some old ones, and one that (I\\u2019m sorry) will release at the end of the summer. Doesn\\u2019t matter, you still want to hear about it.

This week\\u2019s deep dive is a survey of our reading goals for the year. Some are very specific, some are more general, but both of us are excited about the Currently Reading Challenge!

As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we\\u2019d like to press into every reader\\u2019s hands: a brand new illustrated volume, and a short story fairy tale collection.

As always, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you\\u2019d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don\\u2019t scroll down!\\xa0
