Why is a fly circling the deli? What can you learn from your dog about aging? Is Mahjong the real game of champions?

If you’re a fan of David Sedaris, Erma Bombeck, or Andy Rooney, you’ll love Brad Graber’s new release What’s that Growing in My Sour Cream? – a compilation of over 70 humorous essays on the joys, challenges, and absurdities of life in America. Drawn from Graber’s blog “There, I Said It!” Graber introduces listeners to his sharp observations on everyday subjects such as Facebook friends, the odd messages stuffed into fortune cookies, and awkward man hugs. A bold new voice, Graber’s humor and wit are on full display in What’s that Growing in My Sour Cream?.

Brad Graber writes novels because he grew up in a family where no one listened to him – so he made up stories about them. He’s the award-winning author of The Intersect and After the Fall, and writes a humor blog: There, I Said It! He currently resides in Phoenix with his husband, Jeff.

What’s That Growing in My Sour Cream? Humorous Observations on Modern Life made me laugh so much and I found myself nodding at many of his observations as I could really relate to a lot of them.
Each section was a blog post that Brad had previously published on his blog, some very short but funny all the same. He seems to have a way with words that makes you want to know more of what he is thinking and has made me want to look his blog up and read more.

The narrator Derek Neumann had a lovely voice and it really helped the humour get across, but also the more serious thoughts too.

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Brad Graber. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
