MEREDITH MONDAY SCHWARTZ AND KAYTEE COBB
About this episode

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

  • Bookish Moments: new library cards and new projects

  • Current Reads: so many books we convinced each other to read

  • Deep Dive: tropes that we usually like, but might diverge into something we hate

  • 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!

*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’d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your laundry detergent, if you recently got obsessed with switching up your laundry game) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
