Episode notes

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

Bookish Moments: zooming with an author and a slow but steady encouragement
Current Reads: fairy tales and graphic novels and non-fiction and middle grade. We're all over the place.
Deep Dive: "gentle murder" is for those readers who want the propulsive and page-turning nature of mysteries and thriller, but can't handle adding new fears to their arsenal
Book Presses: propulsive but gentle books we think you'll love
