| 0:00.0 | Hey readers, welcome to the Currently Reading Podcast. We are bookish best friends who spend |
| 0:15.6 | time every week talking about the books that we read recently. And as you know, we won't |
| 0:20.6 | shy away from having strong opinions, so get ready. |
| 0:24.4 | We are light on the chit chat, heavy on the book talk, and our descriptions will always |
| 0:27.9 | be spoiler free. Today, we'll discuss our current reads, a bookish deep dive, and then we'll |
| 0:32.4 | press books into your hands. I'm Meredith Monday Schwartz, a mom of four and full-time CEO living |
| 0:37.9 | in Austin, Texas, and I'm just going to admit it. Sometimes I love a one-night stand. |
| 0:43.4 | And I'm Katie Cobb, a homeschooling mom of four living in New Mexico, and I'm more polyamorous than |
| 0:48.8 | monogamous when it comes to my reading. This is episode number 30 of season four, and we are so glad |
| 0:54.4 | you're here. All right, Katie, I am so glad to be back behind the mic back from Memphis. |
| 1:02.4 | My weeks and weeks of absolute joy of being with my new grandson, but I am so excited to be back |
| 1:09.2 | in a normal routine and talking books with you. I'm excited to be here too. We even had a little |
| 1:14.4 | bit of spillover like we couldn't wait to talk books before we got on mic today. There was lots |
| 1:18.6 | of chatter in our messenger chat. Exactly. I have a lot of book talk that I want to do with you. |
| 1:25.6 | So first, we want to tell you guys a couple of things. First of all, our deep dive today is going |
| 1:31.0 | to be about what I am calling, and if you get mad about it, blame me because it's my phrase, |
| 1:37.7 | one-night stand books. Now, it's not what you think. It's palette cleanser slump busters, |
| 1:44.8 | but a really specific kind that I think doesn't get a lot of attention. We do want to say right |
| 1:50.5 | here at the top of the show that we're calling them one-night stand books, and while the conversation |
| 1:54.3 | itself will be no spicier than any other conversation that we have at currently reading, |
| 1:59.6 | the fact that we're calling it one-night stand in the little bit of innuendo that will probably |
| 2:04.4 | follow that, we want to let you guys know about it right up front. We know a lot of you guys listen |
