Please accept this cat tax as an apology! We have to postpone Episode 64 until next week, due to a combination of our perpetual enemies, Real Life Busy and Chronic Migraine. We'll be back next week with the episode - and the result of last week's vote!

This might have been the closest vote we've had since the show began 😂 I'm going to have to come up with a tie-breaker method if this keeps up! Any suggestions?

Tune into Episode 64 this Friday to see which result won! 🤩

Sometimes you read a book and it makes you lose your fucking mind. Sometimes that's a good thing - and sometimes... not so much. This week on the Ko-Fi blog, I'm discussing 5 books that, for better or worse, made me absolutely lose my marbles.
