34

While we are all getting amped up for the Bazowie! Awards IRL in Las Vegas and the community fun of BazowieCon presented by Zinetastic, I thought I’d just highlight a few categories. This category is for your favorite books with nsfw themes and genre goodness.

Dear readers, we hope you will join us this March 27 to 29 for BazowieCon capped off by the Bazowie Awards on March 29 with red carpet, open bar, and ceremony hosted by Dr. Jo and Kristie Bish (and Lionel).
