Season 6, Episode 7: Bookish Get Togethers + Best Versus Favorite Books

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

  • Bookish Moments: seeing each other in person and comfort Kindle reading

  • Current Reads: books new and old, from new to beloved authors

  • Deep Dive: what we think about “best” versus “favorite” books

  • The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives

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!
