    2024 Superlatives

    Now Presenting…The Fifth 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 Fifth Annual Smut Report Superlatives. Note: These are books we read this year. We might have reviewed them or not, and they may be published in 2024 or not. We just like books. If you'd rather read the list, full show notes are available at smutreport.com/podcast [https://smutreport.com/2024/12/31/now-presentingthe-fifth-annual-smut-report-superlatives/].
