It's the Final Countdown! For our last big episode of the year we're talking about our favourite fiction and non-fiction of the year (which was a real struggle)! Plus we get real nerdy and talk about our reading stats from Goodreads. Make sure you subscribe to Apple Podcasts for some sneaky bonus episodes over the summer and we'll be back in January! And please excuse some interruptions to this episode, Salem's son Judah was keen to get involved with the recording.
