Welcome to the first Smut Report book club! We’ve done buddy reads before, of course, but this year we’re going a little more unstructured. Our plan is for each of us to take a turn picking a book to read—any book, for any reason—and our discussion may be based on a specific idea or it may simply be a discussion of what the book is doing on its own merits.

Our first book discussion is An Extraordinary Union by Alyssa Cole.

It’s a new year, which means it’s time to look back on the past year. We were tired and found comfort in books. We were tired and struggled to read books. But no matter what, we reaffirmed how much we love to read and talk about books. So instead of a best-of list, we bring you without further ado: The Sixth Annual Smut Report Superlatives.

Superlatives in list form can be found at smutreport.com/podcast

Isn't it amazing how some people are good at making and analyzing art?!?
