Episode description

On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: TBR evaluation and a great e-reader setup

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

• Deep Dive: an exploration and praise of the Quiet book

• 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’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down! 

We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
