Four4U: Little Bits and Pieces

It's a #Four4U Friday! :-)

I like nonfiction compilations that offer interesting bits of information about lots of things, all in one package. As the reader, I get to pick and choose what to explore each time I pick up the book. There's no need for a book mark - just choose a page and start!

So here are four titles with a #44U theme of Little Bits and Pieces. They cover a wide range of topics: photography, history & chronology, literature & pop culture, and (a forthcoming title about) geography & travel. 

• With these books, it's all about the subtitle! :-)

 
Finding Momo by Andrew Knapp (2014) - a colorful, little photo collection along the lines of the older children's puzzle book: Where's Waldo. The subtitle tells the reader what to do: "My Dog is Hiding in This Book. Can You Find Him?" 

 
Bad Days in History by Michale Farquhar (2015) - the subtitle says it all: "A Gleefully Grim Chronicle of Misfortune, Mayhem, and Misery for Every Day of the Year" Want to find out what bad thing happened on your birthday, then this is the book for you. 

 
Slaughterhouse 90210 by Maris Kreizman (2015) - has the very apt subtitle: "Where Great Books Meet Pop Culture" This one is for those who like to mix classic literature with present day media. 

 
Atlas Obscura by Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras & Ella Morton (coming Oct 2016) - has the subtitle: "An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders" and offers an around the globe tour of unique & amazing sites; some known, most not.
