You can thank MBC fan Dave O. for this rec: “It is everything you hate about White Suburban Women's Book Club literature, from a ‘modern day’ storyline to melodramatic dialogue to heavy-handed symbolism.” Plus, it’s been a NYT bestseller for more than 110 weeks and has sold more than 3 million copies? Uh, count us in!

You can thank MBC fan Alessandra Rosso for this rec: “I read this book a year ago and still talk about how bad it is… And the men… feel like giant Ken dolls for the women to transport, pose and pretend to interact with.” Plus, it’s a NYT bestseller set in NYC during 9/11? Uh, count us in!

Rec’d by pod fan Gus Stephens who told us that the author “pees on a dog in the first few pages and frames it as a good thing.” Amazing! A crazy successful football coach whose politics are questionable and lessons are even more confusing!

This one’s for our Canadian fans! Michelle Boucher says this alt-right psychologist “promoted an all-meat diet, said he was awake for a month straight” and is basically a sexist monster! Although TECHNICALLY not a NYT bestseller because it was only published in Canada, this book looked too juicy to not discuss. Turns out it’s horrible in more ways than one!

Thanks to special guest Jake Cornell who showed up to scream about this science romance. Big ups to Neha Kennard who told us she was "truly heartbroken about [this] garbage-sounding book becoming really popular” - a NYT bestseller! Neha was offended for all her friends in STEM and wanted us to share in her outrage. AND SHARE WE SHALL!
