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

Bookish Moments: fall reading to the max and spooky season satisfaction
Current Reads: some wonderful picks for November and then a bunch of spooky witchy creepy stuff
Deep Dive: we are chatting about our favorite books under 200 pages that really blow your mind
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!
