| 0:16.1 | Hey readers, welcome to the currently reading podcast. We are two bookish best friends who spend time every week talking about the books that we've read recently, and as you already know, we won't |
| 0:21.1 | shy away from having strong opinions so get ready. |
| 0:24.1 | We are light on the chit chat heavy on the book talk and our descriptions will always be |
| 0:28.4 | spoiler free. We'll discuss our current reads, a bookish deep dive, and then we'll press books into your hands. |
| 0:35.0 | I'm Meredith Monday Schwartz, a mom of four and full-time CEO living in Austin, Texas, |
| 0:40.0 | and sometimes when I really need to go someplace else, books are the only way I can do it. |
| 0:45.0 | And I'm Katie Cobb, a homeschooling mama for living in New Mexico. |
| 0:49.0 | And we are all just trying to keep from losing our minds around here. |
| 0:52.0 | This is episode number 35 of season 2, |
| 0:54.6 | and we're so glad you're here. |
| 0:55.8 | Boy, that is absolutely true. |
| 0:57.8 | Hey Katie, before we jump into all of the goodies |

| 1:14.3 | So I, this month, was really tempted, there were multiple that were grabbing at me and I decided |
| 1:21.6 | though that there was one that rose above the crowd and that is the guest list by Lucy Foley. |
| 1:27.0 | Now I read the hunting party and talked about it on the show by Lucy Foley, which I liked it was very atmospheric I think she does |
| 1:34.4 | place as a part of the her story really really well and this new one the guest |
| 1:39.7 | list sounds like it's going to be equally evocative of place. So this one takes place off an island, an island off the coast of Ireland, and basically it's a bunch of people getting together for a lux, Lux wedding. And then of course, because it's a Lucy Foley thriller, someone ends up dead. Lots of suspects. Fantastic details, fantastic, you know, just mood, it's going to be, I just absolutely can't |
| 2:08.2 | wait for this one. |
| 2:09.2 | So that is my pick. |
| 2:10.2 | That's the guest list by Lucy Foley. |
