Season 4, Episode 34: Forever Favorites + Books That Live in our Heads, Rent-Free

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

Bookish Moments: the change of the seasons and a young fan
Current Reads: a few books that will stay with us forever, and some that… won’t
Deep Dive: the books that live rent-free in our heads
Book Presses: a fairy tale retelling and a beloved brick

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!

If you’d prefer to shop on Amazon, you can still do so here through our main storefront. Anything you buy there (even your dishwasher detergent!) kicks a small amount back to us.
