On this week's Very Special episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are starting to wrap up Season 3 with our Listener Press episode!
We had so many listeners leave us voice memos that it was difficult to narrow them down, but we hope you love this selection of books pressed by you, the listeners and Bookish Friends of Currently Reading!
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!
