The inimitable Lazy Genius, Kendra Adachi! (FYI: she exudes just as much joy as this photo shows)

On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Kendra Adachi is joining Meredith and Kaytee, and we are discussing:

Bookish Moments: perfect reading weather, winning fifth grade, and bookish nerdiness
Current Reads: the very first time this has happened in Currently Reading, there’s a double up!
Deep Dive: we get to Lazy Genius a reading life and it’s the actual best
Book Presses: and some non-fiction from authors we 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!
