Summary
This week Kate and Doree discuss reading as self-care and how to make time for it when your schedule feels too busy. They also offer up their current book recommendations. Plus Kate's got new strategies for getting to bed on time, and Doree discovers the power of fandom on a recent trip to a Star Trek convention in Las Vegas.
Then they welcome author Melissa Broder (The Pisces, Last Sext, So Sad Today), creator of the mega-popular Twitter account So Sad Today. She talks about using social media to cope with anxiety and depression, the meaning of sobriety in her life, and her compulsive need to announce every chin zit.
