On this week's episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Mary are discussing:
Bookish Moments: a great library newsletter and a reading milestone
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we've been reading lately
Deep Dive: taking a look at the feminist rage trope and diving in hard
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!
