On this week\\u2019s episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith are discussing:

  • Bookish Moments: rethinking the book slump and nerdy book stats

  • Today, for the meat of our episode we are hearing directly from you, the listeners! We\\u2019re visiting your favorite indie bookstores and hearing about the books they pressed into your hands.

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

New: we are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!

*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop 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. If you\\u2019d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your dishwasher detergent!) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your\\u202fsupport!*\\u202f\\xa0
