What is the opening introduction and purpose of this episode?
Oh
Hey readers, welcome to the Currently Reading podcast. We are bookish best friends who spend time every week talking about the books that we've read recently. And as you know, we won't shy away from having strong opinions.
So get ready.
What bookish moments of the week do Kaytee and Meredith share?
We are light on the chit chat, heavy on the book talk, and our conversations will always be spoiler-free. Today we'll discuss our current reads, a readerly deep dive, and a little something bookish before we go.
I'm Meredith Monday Schwartz. I'm both a mom and a Mimi and a full-time CEO living in Austin, Texas. And I am refusing to let print die
on my watch. And I'm Katie Cobb, a single homeschooling mom of four in Arizona, and I'll take an easy bookish craft her 100, Alex. This is episode number six of season nine, and we are so glad you're here.
All right, Katie, we have a lot to I just jumped in. You're driving.
Which current reads are highlighted and why are they recommended?
I did it on I didn't even mean to. I've just been so excited to talk about books, Katie.
We are gonna have so much fun today, Meredith. There is so much to pack.
In though, and we've had some long episodes lately. So let's see how we do with the two of us back together again this week. First, though, we have a little mischief to manage. It is the first Monday of the month, and that means it's time for our only ad for ourselves that we do every month here on Currently Reading. It's the only ad you ever hear on Currently Reading, is when we tell you a little bit about our Patreon and what your $5 a month gets you. This month we have something a little special to share with you. So we're gonna bounce it over to another little video conversation between me and Bookish friend Holly Farrell. Hi there, Bookish friends.
How do the hosts discuss the novel *House of Sky and Breath* and its themes?
I am so excited this month that I get to introduce you today to Holly Farrell, our newest contributor here. I'm currently reading this month for our ad for ourselves, which we only do once a month. We cannot wait to share with you about a new project we have been cooking up behind the scenes.
Yes, hi everyone. I've been so excited, Katie, since you and Meredith approached me about this idea. So starting this month, we are debuting a new Bookish Friends exclusive show, World Play, where we cover fantasy, sci-fi, and everything in between.
Molly, I knew that you were the perfect person to co-host a show focused entirely on sci-fi and fantasy. So many of our bookish friends and listeners already know you through your fantastic Instagram, which we talk about all the time. It's at Holly's LitMagic, and your Substack. They're probably reading along with you as we speak to the Crescent City series. It's the same name. They've been faithfully asking, separately from that, for content just like this from current. reading.
Yes, Katie, I've been champing at the bit to get this new show and more fantasy sci-fi goodness into people's eardrums. And I can't wait to transport all of our listeners to the realms beyond our own. The first episode will air on the second Thursday of September, and we'll be back every other month for even more sci-fi and fantasy goodness. Yes.
Y'all, we are gonna alternate this genre show with our beloved Love and Chili Peppers so we can cover even more of your favorite sections of the bookstore. We can't wait to get started.
What does the deep‑dive into a day/week in the reading life cover?
It'll be joining our Patreon lineup along with the other shows you love. This is not replacing anything. We've got the indie press list, we've got all things murderful, we are simply welcoming worldplay to the fold. For only five bucks a month, you get all that content. The bookish friends community and you keep the big show commercial free. What else could you want? Until then, may your maps be detailed and
your worlds be infinite.
All
right, Meredith,
I'm so excited. Katie, this is going to be so much fun. We know that so many of us, I mean, certainly you and I, so many of our listeners love. fantasy and sci-fi and have said to us, can we please talk more about that? And so I think Holly is going to be an excellent choice. She's one of my favorite people in the world. I am so excited that we're going to be able to add worldplay to what we're doing for our book Sprints.
