S5 Ep195: Season 5 Finale!

It's the last episode of a pretty epic season! Kate and Katherine talk the year that was for both of them, plus what they've been reading, watching and listening to. It's not a 'best of' list but it's a great list. Things that get mentioned include:

• The First Time interview with Kim Scott
• The First Time interview with Chloe Hooper 
• Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmun 
• This is Dating (podcast) 
• Interview with Esther Perel on the Dumbo Feather podcast 
• If Books Could Kill (podcast) 
• The Mel Robbins Podcast 
• Crafting with Ursula from Between the Covers Podcast - particularly episodes with Lidia Yuknavitch (Kate's fave 'new to me' writer of the year!) and adrienne maree brown
• Babel by RF Kuang
• Bliss Montage by Ling Ma. Kate's been impressed with short story collections this year including Cautionary Tales for Excitable Girls by Anne Casey Hardy (who we spoke to here), You Have a Friend in 10A by Maggie Shipstead and Here be Leviathans by Chris Flynn
• Kate's looking forward to putting Amy Thunig's Tell Me Again in the Summer book stack
• Kate loved watching Beforeigners, Stranger Things and just finished 1899
