Season 5, Episode 23: Starting the Year Right + Author Completists

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

Bookish Moments: a big sale, a reading husband, and 2023 reading observations
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: author completists - the ones we’ve read all of and the ones we want to read all of
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
