I'm creating some lists for the 2026 bingo Goosie shared last week!! and of course I had to start with my beloved nonfiction genre💖 I'm taking inspiration from some AMAZING lists I have saved that have a ton of other books beyond just the history of niche subjects lol go check them out!!

There is a similar list of these types of books called “teach me something new and oddly specific” by endless_tbr_list! Not saying you should delete yours, but looking at that could give you good ideas for yours 🥰

YES!! I love it, I'm currently going through all the list I have saved, I added a comment so more people can take a look at those lists🥳

Love that!! And thanks for the info about the Bingo board!

3

nothing sexier than fun facts🙂‍↕️ I'm being 100% real

3

and you’re so correct about that

3

I think I just added half of these to my TBR… this is right up my alley!

I read majority nonfiction but I guess I need to use the forums more 😂😂

3

I love this!!

I love niche info to share with unsuspecting random people. 😂 Awesome list!

2

sameeee! the thrill it gives me to share a random fact is intoxicating

1

this is so cool! Can I suggest Who Ate the First Oyster by Cody Cassidy or Why Are People Into That by Tina Horn?

2

I'm trying to stay in the history of just one thing so I think the first book will not make the cut😭 but it looks sooooo interesting!! And Why are people into that is going straight to the list! Thank youuuu

1

ooh makes sense totally get it! love a very specific, very niche subject

1

also a cultural investigation might be my kink

2

great idea!! love

2

💖💖

This is just the list I needed and I am so happy to have already read the book about anthropodermic bibliopegy.

2

That book immediately caught my eye!! How was it?

1

I really enjoyed it! And have convinced a classmate to read it for research for the fantasy mystery she is writing because one of her characters is a necromancy librarian lol

If you are taking recommendations, Whack Job: A History of Axe Murder Rachel McCarthy James seems very interesting. ☺️

2

Of course!! Will this be your pick for bingo next year?👀

2

1

Oooo where can I find this bingo card you speak of? 👀
