Season 4, Episode 35: Dream Bookshelves + Exiting the Comfort Zone

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

Bookish Moments: beautiful bookshelves and a booktuber to love
Current Reads: we’re all over the map this week with poetry and Cozy+ and a book I should have loved but didn’t and so much more!
Deep Dive: reading outside of our comfort zones
Book Presses: books that we didn’t expect to love

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!
