Meredith is recording with a special guest this week and has a big announcement, so be sure you tune in right at the top! You\\u2019ll hear again from our friend Mindy Brouse, best friend of the show and reader extraordinaire.
You\'ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host. These bookish moments have a common thread in that they involve real life pressing books into the hands of friends and the reactions of those friends.
Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We\\u2019ve got books spanning genres and time periods and continents. We\\u2019ve got ones that will spark discussion, we\\u2019ve got books that\\u2019ll leave your heart aflutter. It\\u2019s a great week of book talk!
Our Slow But Steady check in is going to move to every once in a while instead of every week. You can still check in on Instagram on the regular, but we\\u2019re not going to keep banging the \\u201cI\\u2019ve got very little to report\\u201d drum. Thanks to the listener survey and all your great feedback!
For our deep dive this week, Meredith and Mindy are chatting about raising readers of all ages. There are some really fantastic tips and some great encouragement in this episode, friends. Even if you don\\u2019t have kids (or don\\u2019t like kids), I\\u2019m guessing you know a reader in your life who would love to hear this chunk, so pass it along!
Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: we\\u2019ve got one that has been mentioned many times on the podcast but never \\u201cpressed\\u201d and one that should be in your box of Christmas books that you haul out every December.
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*Please note that all book titles linked above are Amazon affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. Thanks for your\\u202fsupport!*\\u202f\\xa0
