Kaytee and Meredith are chatting again this week and we\\u2019re talking books and celebrities. Kaytee was apparently recording in a tunnel, so\\u2026 sorry about that! We\\u2019ve got it sorted out and it won\\u2019t happen again, but we can\\u2019t re-record, because then it\\u2019s stale and boring.
You\\u2019ll hear a \\u201cbookish moment of the week\\u201d from each of us: stalking the UPS guy and the perfect way to meet other moms in a new setting!
Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We\\u2019re only doing two books a piece because these Book Bar episodes get really long otherwise!
We\\u2019ve got an update for you on our Slow But Steady reads as well, what progress looks like for us. We are loving having you chime in for what you\\u2019re reading for this challenge. This week we\\u2019re discussing a few emails from listeners about their thoughts on Slow But Steady.
For our deep dive, we are chatting about the ninth category for the Currently Reading Challenge: a book pressed by a celebrity. There are a billion celebrities pressing books into our hands these days!
Finally, this week, we Belly Up to the Book Bar with Erin House, who tells us about her 5-star reads and we\\u2019ve got a bushel and a peck of titles to fill her cart!
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
