Season 4, Episode 3: Going Noodle + Venus Flytrap Books
On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
-
Bookish Moments: playing library and a murderful bookmark
-
Current Reads: a bit silly this week, we are threatening book characters with violence and one of us throws a temper tantrum.
-
Deep Dive: we are discussing the genres that pull us in and then we usually hate them, the Venus Flytrap of books
-
Book Presses: a YA fantasy that flies under the radar and a sweet love story
