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

  • Bookish Moments: reading addiction and revisiting a favorite book rec source

  • Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we\\u2019ve been reading lately

  • Deep Dive: the bookish bait & switch - sometimes it\\u2019s great, sometimes\\u2026 not so much

  • The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives

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
