Season 4, Episode 26: Finding Readers for Authors + Bookish Bucket Lists

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

Bookish Moments: reader profiles on Instagram and connecting authors and readers
Current Reads: we are revisiting some authors that we’ve read before, sometimes successfully, sometimes not.
Deep Dive: the items we have on our bookish bucket lists. What do we want to “achieve”?
Book Presses: an oldie but goodie mystery and a graphic novel

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!

New: we are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). These are generated by AI, so they may not be perfectly accurate, but we want to increase accessibility for our fans!
