Pond Scummy Books (29 books)

Have you ever read a book that was like sticky, slimy pond scum that squelches under your feet when you swim in a lake?
Or just a generally bad/cringey/disgusting/weird book? Well, then, this is the list for you.
BRING IN THE POND SCUM!!

(Books that are like the lid of a garbage bin--touch it quickly then flinch back, lest the germs/odor touch(es) you--are also acceptable.)
