The Currently Reading Podcast

Meredith and Kaytee are back together this week and they are chatting books and Penelopes! You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us: a Harry Potter deep dive conversation and Little Free Library progress. Next, we discuss what we are currently reading, and this week includes quite a few thrillers, a book that makes Kaytee blush, and a new title from a favorite author. This week for our deep dive, we introduce a new section of the website for your first reading challenge category (A Book That Currently Reading Pressed Into Your Hands) and then have a conversation about a term we've mentioned in passing but never explained: Penelope. Who is this Penelope, and why do we care about her notebooks? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to press into every reader's hands: a book that MUST be consumed on audio and a happiness-boosting favorite. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

Meredith is on a leadership retreat this week, so Kaytee is joined by her friend Morgan Tallman to chat books this week. You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each host: busting out of a reading slump (and some tips), and a bookish resolution from a young family member. Next, we discuss what we are currently reading, and this week includes some fantasy, a funny thriller (is that a thing?), and a few non-fiction picks. This week's deep dive is a conversation with Morgan about re-reading. Since Meredith and Kaytee rarely re-read, we are chatting with someone who really loves to re-read books about what she gets from those re-reads. Morgan talks about the books she loves re-reading as well as the frequency of her re-reads. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to press into every reader's hands: a book to add depth to your Harry Potter love, and a sweeping historical novel with trigger warnings.

Meredith and Kaytee return to your feed this week to chat about what we've been reading and what we plan to read in the coming year. You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each host: a reading project for you, our listeners, and New Year's gift from the library. Next, we discuss what we are currently reading, and this week includes some new titles, some old ones, and one that (I'm sorry) will release at the end of the summer. Doesn't matter, you still want to hear about it. This week's deep dive is a survey of our reading goals for the year. Some are very specific, some are more general, but both of us are excited about the Currently Reading Challenge!

You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us: a surprise book present, an accessory to make binge-reading the next big thing, and choosing books for a trip. Next, we tackle what we are currently reading, just two titles from each of the three of us because that still gives you a whole stack to check out. Our deep-dive this week delves deep into the ins and outs of running a book club. And this episode is for you whether you have a group of friends that meet at a coffee shop each month or you are looking for a group of bookish friends on the internet so you can "book club" in your PJs! We even toss around some ideas for those of us (like Meredith and Kaytee) who are "book-club challenged" in that our inner rebel shows up whenever someone says we have to read a certain title. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to press into every reader's hands. This week we have some classic dude-friendly literature, a lovely little fun romp, and a sweeping American and African family story.
