Welcome back to the Horny Book Club! This week, it's the first installment of the FIST FIGHTING BROTHERS trilogy (also known as the Knockemout Series), which if you know the pod, you'll know is part of our DEEP lore, and we're so happy to be finally getting around to talking about it!! Unfortunately we do have to add another man to our list of enemies (it's getting LONG) as in this book we come across the awful and terrible Knox Morgan, fist-fighting brother numero uno and general fool. Other than that, not bad! Enjoy!

*Please heed the content warning below!*
Welcome to The Horny Book Club! This week it's SWIMMERS AND DIVERS in the land of Ali Hazelwood. This one is a bit more of a serious one for us (although obviously we still have some LAFFS) because honestly this book was a bit much. Would love to know everyone's thoughts! Enjoy.
Content Warning:
This book contains consensual explorations of the power exchange kink (i.e Dom/Sub), and therefore in this episode we discuss not only this as a general idea, but also in-depth acts associated with the kink. We also briefly discuss emotional abuse and assault and talk about being personally triggered by different parts of the book.
If this doesn't sound like the episode/book for you, MASSIVE no worries, we love and appreciate you regardless and will see you for the next one. <3

Welcome back to The Horny Book Club! This week it's the long awaited second Penelope Douglas book, Five Brothers. Honestly I feel like we've been going ON about this book for MONTHS since we read and recorded it omg. And that is because it is CRAZY BONKERS. Please excuse how long the plot summary is because this is actually a 500-page book and it was DIFFICULT. Hope you like the chaos, this is definitely going to go down in history as a HBC Podcast classic. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Horny Book Club! This week we've gone rouge as f*ck and done a quiz about our own podcast. This incredible quiz was written by our friend Amy who you might remember from the Icebreaker episode. She's arguably our biggest fan and has listened to every episode (of her own free will!!!) and so we're putting our pod knowledge to the test. Play along at home! Enjoy.
