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
