Kaytee and Meredith are back and chatting about all the books this week. We\\u2019ve got surgery updates and silliness and everything in between.
You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host. We\\u2019re virtually joining in on a trip to a local booklover\\u2019s heaven, and sitting on the couch binging books together.
Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. Romance, and mystery, non-fiction, and YA. We\\u2019re chatting about all that we\\u2019ve been reading lately, even if it doesn\\u2019t jive with previous opinions on the show!
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 or Facebook, but this is an \\u201coff\\u201d week for this segment.
For our deep dive this week, we are excited to talk about what makes us skip or DNF (do not finish) a book. Some of these might be obvious to long-time listeners of the show, but some surprised us as well as each other, so let us know what you think and what you discover about your OWN reading tendencies here. We are SO interested to hear it!
Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: first, a small \\u201cbonus press\\u201d to add some hilarity to your December, and then a tribute to a recently deceased author, and something to press into the young adults\\u2019 hands in your life.
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
