Brought to you by Penguin.
The Audiobook of the Year is back, with yet another pro-rogues gallery of the most amazing, audacious and absolutely absurd news of 2019.
Featuring an audio-exclusive bonus chapter and live recordings for the Book of the Year 2019 tour.
Once again the fact-finding foursome behind the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish have been newspaper-trawling and website-crawling to create your ultimate guide to the past twelve months.
Learn which of Donald Trump's claims are so bizarre they can't even be fact-checked. Find out why every single French MP received camembert in the post. And get to the bottom of all the improvements made to the Ford company's robotic bum. All this and much, much more, including the news that:
· Two tourists planning to visit the Norwegian village of Å, ended up 1,310km away, in Aa.
· Five guys were arrested at a branch of Five Guys.
· Hollyoaks was partly written by the British government.
· The US town of Hell froze over.
From Assange to Zuckerberg, taking in Cardi B, CCTV, D-Day, and eSports, The Book of the Year is the only book you need to make sense of the year, no matter how senseless it might have seemed.

First time for me: audio over print
Usually I prefer reading print to listening to a book. Sure, there are times on long road trips a good audio book passes the time, but those are the exception moments in my life.
This is special circumstance. I made the "mistake" of buying their Book of the Year 2018. Without the quartet's banter, asides, and, well, voices, reading quirky facts went down a bit dry. Nowhere near the fun. The audio book of the year comes far closer to the experience of the podcast and that is A-OK with me!
