The Book of the Year 2018
The Book of the Year 2018: Your Definitive Guide to the Worlds Weirdest News | No Such Thing As A Fish
2 posts | 5 read
__________ My favourite geeks. Hilarious. Sideways. Brilliant. Tim Minchin In a year dominated by Russian collusion and Brexit confusion, The Book of the Year returns with another dose of barely believable yet wholly unimpeachable facts and stories from the past twelve months. Every week for the past four years, Dan, James, Anna and Andy the creators of the award-winning, chart-topping comedy podcast No Such Thing As A Fish have wowed each other and millions of their listeners with the most astonishing trivia they have learned over the previous seven days. Now, once again, they have put down the microphones, picked up their pencils, and transformed a years worth of weird and wonderful happenings into one uplifting book that you wont be able to put down. Discover how Peruvian mummies affected the World Cup, and why Love Island contestants are experts in game theory as well as hundreds of stories that may have passed you by entirely, including the news that: NASA sent a man with a fear of heights to the International Space Station. An ice hotel in Canada caught fire. Mark Zuckerbergs private data was compromised while he was talking to Congress about compromised data. From Kim Jong Uns personal potty to Jeremy Corbyns valuable vegetables, The Book of the Year 2018 is an eye-opening tour of yet another incredible year you didnt know youd lived through.

If you love trivia you should absolutely listen to the podcast “No Such Thing as a Fish”! Well they also write books about the year that just happened and this year‘s is out and very fun! I also listened to the one for 2017. They are physical books as well but the presenters who make the podcast so fun read the book and add their own asides so I recommend in audiobook format. Fun way to review the wacky year that was!

Well-ReadNeck Yay! I love podcasts. Excited to give this one a go! 6y
