Meredith and Kaytee are back in your earbuds for a show that ended up having heavier subject matter than we'd expected.
You\u2019ll hear a \u201cbookish moment of the week\u201d from each of us (and a surprise vocal appearance by Meredith's Boston Terrier, Cooper - oops!) and we'll go over 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 includes an accidental foray into non-fiction books, because we have a lot of words about them this week!
Next, we both discuss the ways we keep track of our reading: spreadsheets, journals, and apps.
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
