Episode notes

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

Bookish Moments: reporting back on homework and an exciting interview
Current Reads: some great summer break reads from both of us, and one spicy opinion
Deep Dive: we report back on how we spent our five weeks off and how much we missed you all!
Book Presses: one last time - a very Kaytee book and a series starter to keep you going.

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!

New: we are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!
