On this week's episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Mary are discussing:
Bookish Moments: reading with family and choosing family's reads
Current Reads: lots of books great for fall!
Deep Dive: books that follow a formula, and when it feels phoned in or not
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!
