    Want to know what kind of reader you are? TAKE OUR QUIZ:

    https://www.currentlyreadingpodcast.com/quiz

    In this episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are back together to discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each. For this week's episode, our current reads vary from ones we felt bland about, to books that we loved. For our Deep Dive, we answer a listener question about how to utilize the library well. We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Meredith shouts out a bookish friend who shared a neat graphic and Kaytee brings something she read about because Meredith read and brought it to the show.

    In this episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Mary discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each. For this week's episode, our current reads bring beloved authors and new to us reads, with some spicy opinions. For our Deep Dive, we discuss reasons why we wouldn't rate a book we read, or why we WOULD share a book with a low rating. We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Kaytee shouts out a bookish friend who is looking for writing compatriots and Mary brings something she is curious about.

    In this episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each.

We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Meredith shouts out the entire bookish friends group as a whole and Kaytee tells us about a book that she DNFd and why.
