Do you enjoy calendar based trivia collections?
We love them here at Edspire HQ and are building a collection of books that we call
Our Daily Reads or Our Daily Books
We keep these books in a basket on the table where we work, eat, craft and play
Every Day Amazing is from Laurence King Publishing and we absolutely love it.
There is an entry for every day of the year. Each day includes people who were born on the day and people who died on the day. They are the arrivals and departures. There also facts related to each day for discoveries made, books published, famous people, places and events.
For example on this day, 9th September. The founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken was born in 1890 and William the Conqueror died in 1087. In 1913 Russian military pilot Pyotr Nesterov became the first person to loop the loop in a plane.
