Currently Reading Made Me Read It + Utilizing The Library Well (S8E47)
Season 8, Episode 47
Show notes
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.
