I have been listening faithfully for a couple years now and Kaytee and Meredith feel like friends. I love their smart and honest conversations about books and all things bookish and thanks to this podcast my TBR has grown exponentially. I am also enjoying Journey to Three Pines and appreciate the in depth analysis of each book (My first time reading through the series!). Thank you Currently Reading team for all your hard work!!!

I have listened to CurrentlyReading the past two seasons and decided to go back to the beginning! Sooo good! I love it and it’s doing a lot of damage to my TBR but all the books are available at my library now!

I’ve gotten some of my favorite all time reads from Meredith and Kaytee. They give great pitches without spoiling the books. They have great chemistry also. Fully enjoyable listening!

Just discovered this podcast now that I am clawing my way out from under postpartum and rediscovering things I love to do and dang-I could listen to these ladies talk books ALL DAY. I love how kind and supportive they are of each other in their reading lives, the vibe is correct. I love the framework of the show, and I love their dialogue and the way they aren’t afraid to be truly opinionated. And to top it all off, their book synopses are 🤌 and now my TBR runneth over! Big thanks for a fun and always interesting listen!

This podcast is the absolute best. I am constantly recommending it to friends or acquaintances that enjoy reading. The format of the podcast is perfection. Kaytee, Meredith, and the show regulars are such a delight and the patron content is also so well formatted and worth the $5/ month. If you love books and want a variety of recommendations that will improve your bookish life, this is the podcast for you!

I reviewed this pod a while back after finding it and starting from episode 1, season 1. I binged the first three seasons, then took a break, and now I’m binging again. I am halfway through season 5 and I have some thoughts. Thought 1: Meredith has to be tied with Sarah and Catherine from Sarah’s Boklshelves Live for my favorite podcast hosts of all time. Her voice is so comforting, she has a knack for giving detailed and thoughtful reviews without giving too much about the plot away, she’s smart and well spoken, and I look forward to listening to her any chance I get. I’m getting ready to sign up for Patreon so I can have more Meredith in my life! Thought 2: I wish Meredith had a different cohost. I know this is going to sound harsh, but I cannot stand Kaytee. Everything about her is insufferable from her bossy, know it all attitude, to her overbearing, overly-woke political takes, to her choices in books. How many kid books can one grow woman read? I mean, if you enjoy that, great, but read the room, Kaytee. You’re speaking to adults! I’d venture to say most of us don’t want show after show of middle grade recs. Remember that one episode where you said you side eye anyone who “doesn’t read diversely” 🙄? Well, I side eye grown women who read books for 10 year olds all day. I’d even go as far as to say you shouldn’t be counting them towards your total number of books for the year. Grow up! Go read more dragon porn or rom coms or whatever it is that gets you all breathy on the pod. At least you’d be bringing adult recs to the show more often! Again, I know this is harsh, but it’s true. For now I’ll just continue to fast forward through Kaytees parts. Thought 3: love your guest cohosts. Mindy, Roxanna. Always great discussions and recs for us. Thought 4: Gave you ever considered having listeners on as guest cohosts from time to time? That would be so fun to listen to. Not me, of course, because I can’t stand kAytee, but maybe run a contest or something for your Patreon supporters and choose a winner every so many months and bring them on for an episode? Anyways, 5 stars, this is one of my favorite books pods! Thank you for all the effort you put in. Keep them coming!

I’m totally in! I just got done listening to an episode that talked about being midlife and apparently now loving birds and of course books. It’s good to be seen. Cheers!

I never miss a week — Currently Reading is hands down my favorite podcast about my favorite thing — books. Meredith and Kaytee are super professional, while also seeming like my book BFFs. I love the hour I get to dorms with them each week!

I’ve checked out a bunch of the different podcasts about books and this is by far my favorite. Love the format, the variety of books, the descriptions, and the general flow. They don’t exactly have the same taste as me, but I’ve definitely found some great books from listening.

I just listened to my first episode and it definitely won’t be my last. Meredith and Katie are so relatable and I just added four books to my TBR list from one show! My only complaint is that my TBR is already pretty long!😆

Listening to Kaytee and Meredith is one of the highlights of my week! It’s so much fun to hear them talk about books, and I have them to thank for getting me back into reading in recent years.

I look forward to hearing Meredith and Kaytee every week! I love their strong opinions and their soft hearts!

I love this podcast! The hosts are so wonderful and make this podcast so enjoyable to listen to. I really appreciate their thoughtful book recommendations which always seem to lead me to my next favorite book.

I am not someone who will go back and listen to all of a podcast’s backlist of episodes but that is what I have done with Currently Reading. Kaytee and Meredith feel like friends giving you reading recommendations in your book club.

I am a recent listener to Currently Reading and Meredith and Kaytee have already become my favorite bookish best friends! I love the consistent layout of the pod and all of the literary content, but my favorite part is simply listening to their conversation. Their banter and melodic voices have me laughing and smiling as well as feeling calm and at peace. I listen when doing chores around the house and sometimes the rhythm of the show is so soothing and cozy that I find myself going into zen mode and then have to rewind to make sure I heard everything! Check out this podcast if you love books, friendship, and snappy coffee house music :)

I’ve been listening on and off since the beginning. I always come back!

I love this podcast. It feels like hanging out with friends. Whether it’s Kaytee and Meredith or one of them with Roxanna or Mary, every episode is a delight. I’ve been listening since sometime in season two, and they just hit their 300th episode. I’ve gotten more good recommendations than I can count, and they’re some of the few bookish people that I trust, because they’re honest. If the way love a book you know it, if they hate a book you know it. I’ll be listening as long as the show keeps going, and I would recommend this show to anyone who loves book talk. Lots of book talk. There’s no filler and no ads. It’s just a solid good time.

This is my absolute favorite podcast, & the only one I’ve ever listened to consistently. I love the way the hosts interact & share their honest opinions on books. You can tell how much they love their listeners & the effort they put into preparing for each episode. They also bring lots of books I wouldn’t find otherwise.

I love this podcast! I always look forward to hearing what Meredith and Kaytee are reading. The deep dives are so fun and thought provoking. I’ve loved getting so many great outside the box book recommendations. I will gladly listen as long as they continue to podcast!

I’ve been listening to Meredith and Kaytee churn out book reviews for almost six years now. Their book talks have lead me to more five star reads than any other bookish podcast. I love that they are consistent with their content, give thoughtful reviews, and are all over the place with the genres of books that they bring to the show. If you’re looking for a community of bookish friends, and a bunch of books added to your TBR, this is the podcast for you!

It’s difficult to describe just how much joy this bookish podcast brings to my Mondays and my life. Kaytee and Meredith read broadly across genres, from YA to literary fiction with liberal sprinklings of murder and romance. Their interactions sparkle, and have a magical way of bringing their listeners into their circle of readerly goodness. Their reviews are thoughtful and intentional, and their playfulness with language has brought me to tears of laughter more than once. Highly, highly recommend.

Currently Reading is a fantastic podcast. I love: -The way they set up books: succinct and informative, without giving anything away -The fact that they are willing to share their “spicy” opinions -Their fine-tuned format, which keeps the episodes from dragging -Their insights into who would enjoy certain books (and who wouldn’t) -Their pure passion for reading and the reading community It’s one of my favorite listens and I heartily recommend to anyone who wants to build their TBR or just enjoy some good book talk.

This is my favorite podcast of all time and that’s saying a lot. The community built around the Patreon community has brought so many friends and so much joy into my life. I can truly say this podcast has changed my life in so many ways.

I have been listening to Currently Reading since 2021. I love to hear what Kaytee and Meredith have recently read and what their deep dive is going to be about for the episode. When I discovered this podcast, it transformed my reading life. I highly recommend checking it out!

One of the best days of the week is when a new episode drops. It is like sitting down with two friends, cup of coffee in hand, and talking all things books. The only downside- if you call it one— I’ve keep adding to my TBR. Pour your favorite beverage - download -enjoy!!!!

I absolutely love listening to Meredith and Kaytee every week even if I don’t read the same as them. It’s So inspiring to listen and learn what they are reading. This part should maybe not be shared with the whole audience but I have late stage breast cancer and turn towards Currently Reading for those cosy feels when I can’t sleep or have a procedure. Thank you deeply.

My favorite bookish podcast! Meredith and Kaytee give enough detail (without spoilers) to set up a book and help me decide if it is for me. I especially enjoy the fact that all of the hosts give honest opinions, not just favorable ones. That definitely helps me trust their recommendations more. Great camaraderie and I look forward to listening every week!

This is my favorite podcast that I always listen to the day the episode drops! Meredith and Kaytee are such authentic, awesome humans. Each episode feels like catching up with a close friend about books! You won’t be disappointed!

I have listened to many book podcasts so for the years and this honestly is the best book podcast out there! These ladies do a great job of talking about a wide variety of books in a concise and honest way. Over the years, they have brought me back to my love of reading and expanded my reading and ways that I will be forever grateful for. They also offer a Patreon that is a wonderful addition!

I look forward to this podcast every Monday! My TBR is miles long thanks to Currently Reading. I appreciate the broad range of recommendations— there is truly something for every reader in this pod. While I don’t always agree with Kaytee and Meredith in terms of favorite books, I love to hear their thoughts, and I’ve gotten some great titles from all four hosts. I’ve found myself listening to back episodes to make sure I didn’t miss any potential favorites! Love this pod, and I’ll bet you will, too.

This podcast is such a delight to listen to every week! I love the book recommendations, but it has mostly helped me learn more about how to discuss books and what I specifically enjoy in my own reading life.

Meredith & Kaytee share their opinions *respectfully* in a world that enjoys tearing people down. Yet their honesty about books they’ve read is intact. That says a lot about them as that’s a difficult balance to strike. I’ve listened since Season 2 & binged all the ones I’d missed. Every time I hear the opening music, I get excited & feel I’m amongst friends.

I love this podcast! It turned my reading life around. These ladies have such great and well articulated reviews and recommendations. It’s a fun listen I’d highly recommend to anyone who loves books and reading.

This is by far my favorite book-related podcast! Meredith and Kaytee’s reading preferences are varied enough to always keep the show interesting week after week. Their reviews are thoughtful and insightful (even if they did not love the book). In addition, their Patreon content is a must-listen. So glad I found this show! I hope you will give it a listen.

My favorite book podcast! If you love to read, across many genres, this is the podcast for you!

Greatly appreciate to Meredith & Kaylee for creating this amazing book podcast! They are genuine and down to earth women, mothers and book lovers!! 😍😍😍😍😍

The best book podcast out there. Meredith and Katee are delightful and their book talks are informative. This podcast has no commercials. Some of my all time favorite books have been recommended by this show.

Every Monday morning, one of the things that helps get me out of bed is that I know there is a new Currently Reading episode waiting for me. I love the format and content of this show, and I usually add at least one book to my TBR each week. I recommend this to anyone who loves reading and wants to hear more about books

I measure all other book podcasts to Currently Reading. They are simply the best, great team dynamic and of course, A+ content!

These two friends have created the most wonderful book podcast!! Their discussions are original and sound spontaneous, as if you’re discussing books with your friend at your kitchen table. They cover all genres and give enough of a book summary and opinions to help me decide if it’s for me. I love the fast pace and the large number and variety of books they cover each week. They are responsive to the listeners and have made many changes as a result of their input.

Hearing the opening music at the start of every episode instantly puts me in a happy mood. I’ve been listening for the past 6 months and have discovered so many good books that would never have been on my radar. I love that they cover backlist titles along with newer releases. The production quality is top notch and I enjoy the dynamic between all of the hosts. They truly come off as bookish best friends. I could do without the wishes at the fountain, but it’s at the end and I can easily skip it.

As I read the reviews of other listeners, I was surprised to see how many people were upset about the podcast being “woke”. In the media would choose to consume, including the books we choose to read we are following our political ideals. I think it’s surprising for listeners to be upset when recommenders recommend books that align with their beliefs. I listen to many book podcasts, and they all recommend books aligned to their beliefs. I think the difference here is that there is more of a celebration when books include LGBTQ or #ownvoices. Other but podcasts are also talking about similar books, but aren’t describing the population of the book. Overall, I really enjoy this podcast. I think the audio quality is really good, especially in the newer seasons. I feel like the format has changed overtime which has brought new life into the podcast and I think having a dynamic show is really good. I appreciate the lack of ads. Again, when you’re not advertising companies, you can be more open with your beliefs, which I think is reflected because they aren’t doing ads. All of the regulars are well spoken when they speak about their books. Not all of them are books I want to read or genres that I am interested in. However, I feel like I gain a good general knowledge for various genres so I can recommend books to others. I also read a lot of comments about Kaytee’s giggling or laughing. And I think it’s frustrating that for a woman her voice is critiqued on maybe sounding to “feminine” or “childish”. I appreciate that she isn’t robotic and allows her personality to be part of the show. Because my opinions do align with the hosts, but I also think it’s unrealistic to think that reading isn’t political.

My TBR list never ends thanks to these gals!

Love the honest/still respectful reviews and the inclusion of so many books that aren’t already overly buzzed. Thank you!

I just discovered this podcast and I have binged listened a whole year of episodes. My TBR list is huge now! Love the format, love the hosts, love the interviews, and of course, the book recommendations.

The way they talk about their current reads is entertaining, informative, and really helps me decide if a book will be right for me. As an HSP, I LOVE that they will often comment if a title is HSP-friendly or not…such a relief and a help!

Kaytee and Meredith are well-read and well-spoken. Thoughtful, well-produced episodes. They aren't afraid to talk about books they didn't like, which I appreciate. Kaytee reads a lot of middle grade and YA. Meredith likes horror, thrillers, literary fiction. They give excellent reviews. The only thing that annoys me is when they say, "Here's the setup" before every book they talk about. I know it's their catch phrase, but it's getting old. That's a small thing, since the overall content of the podcast is very good and I would recommend it.

The only thing that makes a Monday morning better is listening to Meredith and Kaytee and their book recommendations! Be prepared to have your TBR explode!

I listen to several different podcasts about books and what is recommended. This one is my very favorite. I recently signed up for a membership through Patreon for their bookish friends. I’m having a hard time getting into it. I did once but I can’t seem to remember how to do it. Would somebody help me with this please?

Hello! My mom actually knows Meredith and she is so sweet! Me and my mom love to listen to this podcast together. Keep going!
