Season 5, Episode 8: Unexpected Book Opinions + Fall Reading Ambience

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

Bookish Moments: finding our best reading time and bookstore trauma double visits
Current Reads: we thought we knew what we were getting with these books, but we had no idea
Deep Dive: curating the perfect fall reading ambience, all the goodies and links
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
