It’s PSL season! The Something Smutty Book Club read SEDUCED BY THE PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE by Evelyn Cloves.

We also play a few rounds of F*ck, Marry, K!ll and Smash or Pass, indulge in some delicious pumpkin-flavored treats baked by Amanda (Reverse Harem BB) and PSLs by Stephanie (Daddy Zeus). We follow up with talking about some of our current spicy reads.

Something Smutty Book Club is a monthly book club featuring a group of cousins (sort of), cheese, and several bottles of wine. These episodes are unhinged, uncensored, and very much NSFW.

Something Smutty Book Club: Game Night Edition THE AUDIO GAME

Welcome to our funniest – and dirtiest – episode yet! In this episode, four of us play The Audio Game. This game is essentially Cards Against Humanity but with audio clips of memes, quotes, and the occasional *interesting* sound effect.

Slowburn, DNF, Daddy Zeus, and Smut Slut recorded this episode immediately after recording our book club episode for Mating with Mallows. It’s the middle of the night, Daddy Zeus has peeps in her wine, and Daddy Zeus, DNF, and Smut Slut are all big fat cheaters!  I hope you have even half as much fun listening to game night as we did recording and enjoy this crazy smutty time!

Something Smutty Book Club is a monthly book club featuring a group of cousins (sort of), cheese, and several bottles of wine. These episodes are unhinged, uncensored, and very much NSFW.
