Today, we are revisiting our very first episode of Currently Reading, because 2020 has thrown us for another loop! Tune in to hear Meredith and Kaytee, for the first time. We are discussing: Bookish Moments: starting a series as a readaloud and being part of a launch team Current Reads: we’ve got some classics, some apocalypse, and some differences in opinion! Deep Dive: we didn’t even know what a deep dive was! We do spend some time talking about our next planned reads Book Presses: a book that will give you all the warm fuzzies and a sci-fi epic that takes you to space As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.
