Seeing as how they used to call me “The Man With the Tin Pipes” at my college radio station* (*untrue), it’s been fun contributing audio book reviews to the Brain Burps About Books podcast by author/illustrator Katie Davis (click here to subscribe on iTunes). I get a chance to do some of my favorite things – chat about wicker suits, rail on Kraft Singles, and generally get ridiculous. It seems like a good idea to share some of the recent books I’ve reviewed there:
