Season 5, Episode 34: Many Generations of Readers + No-Prep Current Reads

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

Bookish Moments: the generations after us and before us in our reading lives
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: what did we learn from a no-prep current read section?
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!
