Best Book Ever


Aug 16, 2021

The Kids and YA Gift Giving Guide (Episode 027) was my most popular episode last year, and it’s not hard to see why – kids are friggen awesome. Today I’m sharing something that’s usually reserved for my Patrons: the outtakes from that episode. I’m gearing up to start work on the 2021 Kid’s Episode, so if you know a young person who likes to read, stay tuned until the end of the episode to hear how they can be a guest on the Best Book Ever Podcast.
