Description
On this episode of Currently Reading, Kaytee and Meredith are sharing their favorite reads of 2023. This year, we have two lists: favorite reading experiences and favorite books. With so many great reading experiences of… not so great books, we had to differentiate. We also had a few overlaps, and some reads that really surprised the other! Show notes are time-stamped below for your convenience.
