    6th Annual Smut Report Superlatives

    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
