    In this episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are back together to discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each. For this week's episode, our current reads vary from ones we felt bland about, to books that we loved. For our Deep Dive, we answer a listener question about how to utilize the library well. We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Meredith shouts out a bookish friend who shared a neat graphic and Kaytee brings something she read about because Meredith read and brought it to the show.

    https://www.currentlyreadingpodcast.com/quiz

    In this episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each. For this week's episode, our current reads cover a wide range of topics from children's classics to cannibalism. For our Deep Dive, we discuss books that we either need to revisit or books we have already re-read and formed a new opinion. We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Meredith shouts out the entire bookish friends group as a whole and Kaytee tells us about a book that she DNFd and why.

    In this episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith discuss their bookish moments of the week, and then tell you about three current reads each. For this week's episode, our current reads span the years from 1963 to 2026, ranging from murdery goodness to literary fiction to non-fiction about our bodies. For our Deep Dive, we discuss what it means to us to go into a book with no prior knowledge whatsoever. We'll always end with our Before We Go segment, where we shout out a Bookish Friend of the week or talk about a specific small piece of our reading lives that we want to share with you. Today, Kaytee tells us about stocking our summer TBRs, and Meredith enters "fragrance corner" but makes it bookish.
