Episode 33 – The President Did Me From Behind and I Liked It
Kait, Renata, and their guests Becca and Kristi read The President Did Me From Behind And I Liked It, I Got Freaky With Santa Claus And I Liked It, and Bigfoot Did Me From Behind And I Liked It by Raven Blackbird. These self-published erotic comedies proved to be neither very erotic nor very comedic, but they are available for 99 cents on Amazon. Listen to this NSFW (unless you happen to work at the North Pole with Dirty Santa) episode now to hear us long for the straightforward world of dinosaur erotica.
Readers advisory: Here.
Footnotes: Fanfiction 101
Forget Dinosaur Erotica, It’s All About Bigfoot Erotica Now
Candy pairing: Becca says root beer barrels, Kait says Sour Skittles, Kristi says Reese’s peanut butter cups, Renata says Cadbury Screme Eggs.
Coming up next: Whisper of Death by Christopher Pike.

Episode 32 – Dino Park After Dark
Kait, Renata, and their guests Ashley and Sam dipped their toes into the confusing and unsanitary waters of creature erotica with Dino Park After Dark by Christie Sims & Alara Branwen. We’re still not convinced it adds up physiologically, but sometimes love is strange. A bonus (for us): it’s the shortest book we’ve read for the podcast, which gives us more time to devote to reading biographies of Alexander Hamilton!
Readers advisory: Here.

Candy pairing: Ashley says restaurant peppermints, Kait says a bag of gummy dinos with a few gummy penises accidentally mixed in, Renata says bacon-flavor mystery Dum-Dums, Sam says dinosaur egg Peeps.

Worst Bestsellers Drinking Game
In celebration of our one year podcastversary, we crowdsourced a Worst Bestsellers drinking game! (Originally, we intended to make a New Moon drinking game to play as we recorded our episode, but we decided it would work better to make a general Worst Bestsellers drinking game that we could play as we recorded, but also that you guys could play along with any Worst Bestsellers episode.)
Disclaimers: If you are not of legal drinking age, or do not partake in alcohol, or if it’s a school night, you can play with a non-alcoholic beverage! If you are playing with actual alcohol, remember that alcohol poisoning is real. Hydrate!

Episode 31 – New Moon
It’s been one year since our very first episode, when Caroline of Fantastic Fangirls read Twilight by Stephenie Meyer with us! To celebrate, we decided to return to the scene of the crime and read New Moon, the next book in the Twilight saga. Also, we decided to drink heavily while we talked about it. We crowdsourced a Worst Bestsellers drinking game and played it as we recorded. It turns out that if you drink every time one of us says “literally,” you’ll get pretty drunk! We hope you enjoy listening to this extra-long special episode as much as we enjoyed recording it, but that’s honestly probably impossible. Thanks for listening to us this year! We hope to continue reading stuff so you don’t have to for years to come.

Special note: We’re having a Twilight movie tweet-along on 7pm (EST) the evening of October 4th. It’s currently streaming on Netflix. We hope you’ll join us with #TwiWorst ! Netflix took down the Twilight movie on October 1st, so we’ll be livetweeting the documentary TWILIGHT IN VOLTERRA instead.

Episode 30 – Dianetics
Kait, Renata, and their pre-clear guest Sigrid (@SigridEllis) read Dianetics by L. Ron Hubbard, a man who is on record as not believing in second drafts. It’s definitely the worst thing we’ve ever read, and also now we’re afraid we’re going to get sued. Why didn’t we just keep reading Nora Roberts books? Because then, dear listeners, we wouldn’t be able to explain to you how to clear all your engrams and reach Tone 4. You’re welcome.*
* We are not actually licensed auditors and cannot promise to clear any engrams whatsoever. Please don’t sue us.
Content warning: This episode contains discussion of abortion, attempted abortion, and domestic violence.
Readers advisory: Here.

Candy pairing: Kait says an apple with a razor blade inside, Renata says a misprinted Laffy Taffy, Sigrid says Candy Blox.
Coming up next: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer.
Special note: Our New Moon episode is our one-year anniversary! To celebrate, we plan to play a drinking game while we record. Please send us suggested rules for the drinking game, either on Twitter, Facebook, or email at worstbestsellers at gmail. We are also tentatively planning a Twilight movie tweet-along for some time the evening of October 4th. It’s currently streaming on Netflix, but if you don’t have Netflix and want to participate, start tracking down a DVD now.
Thanks, Best Listeners!
