We can't really blame BookTok for being late to the party on Ruby Dixon's Ice Planet Barbarians since most of TikTok users have only been old enough to read books this dirty for about six months. As a long time Ice Planet aficionado, Beth told us to read them years ago. But Heidi has now joined the tribe, and together they break down all the reasons that these seven-foot cerulean tapeworm alien erotica books are so damn addictive.

Ok, and fine. Now that TikTok is stealing all our book recommendations, you can follow us there too: @thecool_table
