No Such Thing As A Fish fans and other strange fact nerds: someone brilliant has put together a Goodreads list of all the books referenced in the Fish podcast! I am dying, as is my TBR.

The Book of the Year | No Such Thing As A Fish

We are now over 3/4 of the way through the year and no doubt all running out of books to read! 😂 Time to add to that #TBRMountain

Share with other Littens what your favourite book of the year is. If you can‘t limit it to 1 share more than 1.

Andrew65 My top 3 so far are A Man Called Ove, The Name Of the Wind,

A Gentleman in Moscow: A Novel

(edited) 6y

LazyDays Best read for 2018!

The Good People

LazyDays It is sad, but worth it! 6y

LazyDays Ove is one of my favorites💗 6y

Andrew65 @LazyDays It was my first Fredrik Backman but not my last. Simply stunning! 6y

Andrew65 @LazyDays Sometime sad books can be the best. Nothing beats a good cry whilst you are reading. This book made me cry plenty.

The Light Between Oceans

Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare Ballad of the Whiskey Robber. True story of a Budapest hockey player who made ends meet robbing banks. Bunging cops, bungling criminals, bungled heists and a cop who honed his detective skills by watching episodes of Columbo

Ballad of the Whiskey Robber: A True Story of Bank Heists, Ice Hockey, Transylvanian Pelt Smuggling, Moonlighting Detectives, and Broken Hearts

tina_b.ooks I think there are still some really good ones to come... but so far my number one would be

Dunbar

Andrew65 @Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare Sounds great fun. 👍 6y

Andrew65 @tina_b.ooks Hopefully! 👍 This also looks very interesting. 6y

Itchyfeetreader Non fiction is probably

The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After

xicanti Definitely

Jane, Unlimited

Andrew65 @Itchyfeetreader Sounds well worth a read. 6y

Andrew65 @xicanti Don‘t know this one but sounds like I need to. 6y

Andrew65 @anored Read and enjoyed Good Omens, and do want to get to Ready Player One. 6y

riversong153 If I had to pick one, I‘d say Circe 6y

tonyahoswalt Three books have stood out for me, all fantasy. Children of Blood and Bone, Daughters of the Storm, and Onyx and Ivory. However, I am far from running out of books! 😋 6y

One of my favorite British panel shows, QI, spawned one of my favorite podcasts, No Such Thing As A Fish, this audiobook was basically a 9 hour long podcast, in spite of what the subtitle says, and I loved every minute of it. 🚫🐠

Did you know about the man who tied balloons to a camping chair in 2017 and flew over South Africa? If this and other quite interesting facts are of interest I recommend the Book of the Year from the No Such Thing as a Fish podcast folks. I listened to it as the Audiobook of the Year but either way it is nonfiction indulgent fun!

Tamra There was a guy in the US who did something similar and promptly got arrested. ☹️ Should have been rewarded for ingenuity! 7y

Booksnchill @Tamra i saw that- I think this guy was fined as well. I think they both deserved a Darwin Award but they survived so maybe next time! 7y

Tamra @Booksnchill 😂 Definitely have a crazy sense of adventure! (edited) 7y

For those who love the british quiz show QI the “elves” or research team, have a podcast- No Such Thing As A Fish which I highly recommend. They have written the tagged book but had thought the audiobook would not be available in US (really a 9 hour version of the podcast exploring quite interesting facts) It just became available and I am here for that!🤪👏👏👏🎉

The Book of the Year | No Such Thing As A Fish

I've been relying heavily on the No Such Thing As A Fish and Judge John Hodgman podcasts to entertain me on my work commute, but since those only last me so long, I'm looking to pad things out with some book-centric fare. I've been really enjoying Reading Envy. What are your favorites, Littens?

ReadingEnvy Wow, thanks for listening! The book podcasts I always listen to immediately are The Readers and The Librarian is In, although there are a bunch of others I dabble in. Non bookwise I can recommend The Mortified Podcast for hours of cringeworthy readings from childhood diaries. 7y

kalinichta @ReadingEnvy Awesome, thank you so much for the recs. 7y
