Episode notes

Meredith and Kaytee are back, chatting books and strong opinions with you!

You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us: leaning into the DNF (did not finish), and a recovery book as reading "Advil."

Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We've got three books each to discuss, including some revisits of titles that have already been discussed.

Our Slow But Steady check in is short and sweet, just like you like it!

For our deep dive this week, we are talking True Crime. This is an unknown world for Kaytee so we're hearing from Meredith about what she loves about True Crime and her favorites in the genre.

Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands: a cry-fest book that not everyone will love, and a book for middle graders that one of us still needs to pick up!

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! *Please note that all book titles linked above are Amazon affiliate links.
