Season 5, Episode 15: Circling Back + Getting Out of a Reading Funk

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

  • Bookish Moments: a circle-back moment and reading blankies

  • Current Reads: lots of great non-fiction and some surprising hits

  • Deep Dive: getting out of a reading funk - some strategies!

  • The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives

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!
