Season 2, Episode 34: When Life Hands You Lemons… You Maybe Read a Bunch of Pandemic Books
Today, Kaytee and Meredith are discussing:
Bookish Moments: local indie bookstore support and the first video episode of Currently Reading
Current Reads: each of us shares three books we’ve been reading lately.
Deep Dive: books that are about pandemic and epidemic situations. You do you, reader.
Book Presses: two books (one giant, one little) that will transport you to a different place and time
