Season 5, Episode 27: Popcorn Reading + Joys and Challenges of Reading as Our "Job"

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

Bookish Moments: a meeting with an app and a personal audiobook win
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: we’ve been asked how it affects our reading lives to have to do it as a “job,” and we’re answering those questions today!
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
