Season 5, Episode 38: Bookshelf Joy + Boss My TBR

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

Bookish Moments: new bookshelves and Bookstores for Bob
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: we are bossing our bookish friends into reading the next three books on their TBRs
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
