Season 4, Episode 28: Not a "You" Book + Books About Marriage
On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith are discussing:
Bookish Moments: reader app ideas and Meredith’s bookish grandbaby
Current Reads: we both bring books that the other host is NOT interested in reading.
Deep Dive: our very favorite books about marriage, almost entirely fiction!
Book Presses: fantastic social justice and a book about marriage and parenting
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!
*Please note that all book titles linked below are Bookshop affiliate links. Your cost is the same, but a small portion of your purchase will come back to us to help offset the costs of the show. 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. Thanks for your support!*
