On this week's episode of Currently Reading, Meredith and Kaytee are discussing:

• Bookish Moments: an ASMR playlist + supporting indie bookstores

• Current Reads: climate fiction, romance, non-fiction, and murder

• Deep Dive: the books that we want to see on the large or small screen

• Book Presses: another cinematic pick and a quick option for non-fiction November

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!

0:10 Bite Size Intro

2:18 - Your homework: Record a voice memo on your phone.

Make sure your voice memo includes: your name, your location, the name of the indie bookstore you are referencing with its location, a book that was hand sold to you (either by the seller or a shelf talker, etc.) with the title and author, and all the reasons why you love the book and the bookstore!
