We weren’t sure what to get you for the holidays this year, so we thought we’d gift you the best present in our sack (ha), a holiday-themed edition of obscure erotica. We scoured Kindle Unlimited to find the absolute most unhinged smut for your enjoyment—there are sexy Santas, engorged elves, and so many female protagonists named Holly. Get in the sleigh, we’re going somewhere absolutely unhinged!

It's finally time to discuss our listener-chosen July Book Club Pick, Margo’s Got Money Troubles by Rufi Thorpe! We’re thrilled to dive into our overall thoughts, what genre we’d place this book in, how the book deepened our perspective about sex work, the romance subplot, and how much the final line stuck with us.
(Liked the book? We loved this Rufi Thorpe interview about her writing process!)
