Season 5, Episode 35: Mysteries and Romance + Books We Want to Own

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

Bookish Moments: reading mojo and a package of bookish delights
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: how do we decide which books to own or keep?
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
