69 - The Collection by Nina Leger Mar 17, 2020

Show notes

This week we read and discuss The Collection by Nina Leger which is about a lady who commits her sexual partners penises to memory. It's explicit. I literally cannot imagine any of you listen to this with children, but just in case you normally do, don't this time. There's also a quiz about the Bad Sex in Fiction Award at the end of the episode, plus a Mad Lib. So, what I'm saying is. This one is fun.

Our next book discussion is going to be Weather by Jenny Offill. We mean this always, but this time we really mean it when we say get it from a local independent bookseller. They need you now more than ever.
