Season 5, Episode 29: Bookish Discoveries + Fictional Travel Destinations
On this week’s episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:
-
Bookish Moments: and a bookish clean slate
-
Current Reads: all the great, interesting, and/or terrible stuff we’ve been reading lately
-
Deep Dive: our first second-part deep dive! Today we are making a travel list based on the (fictional) places we’ve traveled in books
-
The Fountain: we visit our perfect fountain to make wishes about our reading lives
As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!
We are now including transcripts of the episode (this link only works on the main site). The goal here is to increase accessibility for our fans!
