Season 5, Episode 45: Special Guest Jaysen Headley @Ezeekat

On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are joined by special guest Jaysen Headley, and are discussing:

Bookish Moments: sick reading, a surprise book from an author, and breaking other people’s reading
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
Deep Dive: we talk all things Ezeekat and get to know the man behind the accounts
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!
