Meredith and Kaytee are back in your earbuds for more bookish chat.\\xa0\\xa0

You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each of us \\u2013 something readerly in our lives that we want to highlight, and a few of the books we\\u2019ve finished reading lately. Then we\\u2019ll chat about what\\u2019s next up on the TBR pile.

This episode we truly begin to show our love for middle-grade fiction. We hadn\\u2019t planned it this way, but we recommend a plethora of fantastic titles for your kids - or for the lover of kit lit in you.

Next, we both divulge our worst bookish habits, and chat a little bit about how we try to \\u201ccombat\\u201d those habits.\\xa0

We finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we\\u2019d like to put into every reader\\u2019s hands: something that has consistently 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.\\xa0\\xa0

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!\\xa0
