Season 5, Episode 39: Our Favorite Publishers and Imprints

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

  • Bookish Moments: a mom win via a bookish fail, and fielding reader retreat questions

  • Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately

  • Deep Dive: we both got a bit of education this week learning about publishers versus imprints and discussing our favorites

  • 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! 

We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
