Season 5, Episode 10: Repeat Authors, Good and Bad + Getting Into a Rut

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

Bookish Moments: matching reading and values and a library mood boost
Current Reads: murderful goodness, plus visits to previous beloved authors
Deep Dive: when you read a bunch of one type of book, do they start to dilute in ratings?
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
