/report: Children's Books

[mklutz]

Guys, we recorded for over an hour this week before scrapping the episode and re-recording on a different topic entirely. If we sound punchy at all it's because it was late in England and in Canada. (Oops?)

But! This week we cover a delightful range of children's and young adult books, which we hope you will enjoy, and we finish up with some book recs for you.

As per usual, you can click here to download the episode.

As usual the iTunes feed will be up later. Since it's a week about children's books we don't actually have any fic recs for you. Go read a book! You can follow us on twitter over here for other updates.


Due to request, a (hopefully mostly complete?) list of the books mentioned:

• Matilda

Winamp is seriously hating my face at the moment. I've pulled the single file from your link. If it's still being pissy after next week, I'll try recapturing the feed or something. (It could just be Winamp being pissy at Feedburner. It happens.)

Feedburner might also take a few minutes to an hour or so to catch up to the ftp change. That happens. Thanks for letting me know!

Had to pull and replace the feed in Winamp - it was convinced of the bad information. If iTunes wasn't such a system fungus, or if Miro and Songbird were unified...

Anyway, thank you for reloading it!
