Kaytee and Meredith are back in your earbuds with strong opinions and bookish concoctions!

You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each host, and we are TEASES this week. We both have books that we cannot wait to talk about\\u2026 but we\\u2019re not telling you what they are!

Next, we\\u2019ll remind you about our Bookshelf Thomasville coupon code for you: CURRENTLYLOVING will get you 10% off from our friends over there through the month of August! You\\u2019ve got just a few days left before this code expires, so get on it!

Moving forward, we discuss our current reads for the week. We are mostly GLOWING about our books this week, and we have lots of words about each of them.

We\\u2019ve got an update for you on our Slow But Steady reads as well, and we\\u2019ve loved having you chime in for what you\\u2019re reading for this challenge. Today, we\\u2019re also rethinking what Slow But Steady means in terms of content.

For our deep dive, we are discussing book clubs. All the different kinds of book clubs there are. How we feel about them personally. What we enjoy about the idea of book clubs. And some other weird tangents. What are your thoughts on book clubs?

Finally, this week, we finish the episode by Bellying Up to the Book Bar! Our drinking buddy this week is Angie Dawson, and we have LOTS of titles to throw her way. The show notes for this episode are bananas, friends. B-A-N-A-N-A-S.

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
