Season 4, Episode 38: Curating Our Shelves + Reading During a Big Switch-Up
On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Mary are discussing:
Bookish Moments: delightful Zoom meetings and used books for “complete” shelves
Current Reads: some thrills, some nonfiction, some YA, and some romance
Deep Dive: reading during a big life change
Book Presses: a married people romance and a narrative non fiction gem
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 laundry detergent, if you recently got obsessed with switching up your laundry game) kicks a small amount back to us. Thanks for your support!*
