Description

Meredith and Kaytee return to their microphones (albeit, one is in a different location than normal) to talk all things reading and great books. You'll hear a "bookish moment of the week" from each of us: choosing road trip audiobooks and a new Little Free Library update! Next, we discuss our current reads for the week: there's no rhyme or reason to our picks this week but almost all of them are wonderful. Which is my favorite thing. For our deep dive this week, we chat about books we buy and books we borrow and books we keep. How do we decide which books deserve a place on the physical TBR shelf (rather than the library hold list)? How do we decide which ones to let go of (and where to put them) when we've read them? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we'd like to press into every reader's hands. This week's picks are a great beach read option and a lovely autobiography. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.
