Kaytee and Meredith are so excited to be sharing YOUR presses with our listeners this week! We asked for you to call us or email us with your books you want to press, and you certainly delivered!

You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host: a realization about the true status of hoarding tendencies, and a book that immediately led to dinner time yumminess.

Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We\\u2019ve got 6 (or more) books that someone will want to read ASAP, so get those library cards ready!

For our deep dive, we are sampling 10 of our favorite \\u201clistener presses\\u201d for our Reading Challenge! If you sent us a press that didn\\u2019t make it into the episode, it was just because we didn\\u2019t have time. We loved hearing from all of you! You\\u2019ll hear our thoughts on each of these books as well, because, you know we have them!

As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we\\u2019d like to press into every reader\\u2019s hands. This week we\\u2019ve got a title that\\u2019s perfect for the extreme heat of mid-summer, and a press that comes with a caveat.

As per usual, 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
