Episode notes

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

Bookish Moments: finding our best reading time and bookstore trauma double visits
Current Reads: we thought we knew what we were getting with these books, but we had no idea
Deep Dive: curating the perfect fall reading ambience, all the goodies and links
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!
