CBR15Bingo: Bodies Bodies CBR15Passport: Recommended to me I have Emmalita and her review of Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 8 to thank for turning me onto this collection. Volume 7 did not disappoint. I keep trying to come up with a good metaphor using chocolate but I’m at a loss. After reading the first three short stories in linear fashion, I quickly learned that skipping around a bit was more suited to my reading style. Each story is self-contained, therefore it is easy […]

I didn’t entirely consider that I would be writing a review of erotica for the Cannonball Read audience when I requested Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Best Women’s Erotica of the Year, Volume 6 from NetGalley. I just thought about how much I wanted to read it. I got a copy of this arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I don’t generally review erotica because to do so in a meaningful way would get rather more revelatory than I usually do. With an anthology […]
