Bookish Moments: pet conspiracy against Meredith + airport friendships
Current Reads: A whole slew of books that might be hard to listen to us talk about for various reasons
Deep Dive: the goodies to buy for the bookworm that doesn’t need books
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
