Friday Freebies: I Used To Know That, The Witness, Assault With A Deadly Glue Gun


Welcome back to  Friday Freebie. It’s been a long break! This week Barnes and Noble is offering ‘I Used To Know That: Stuff You Forgot From School’ by Caroline Taggart. This is non-fiction, and sounds like a great way for me to get ready for the coming trivia season! You can see reader reviews at Goodreads, where the book gets. 3.41 stars. Here is the synopsis from Goodreads.
If you've forgotten the capital city of Chile; the basics of osmosis; how to solve a quadratic equation; the names of the Bennet sisters in Pride and Prejudice; who wrote the famous poem about daffodils; the use of a conjunction or the number of continents in the world, I Used to Know That will provide all the answers. 
A light-hearted and informative reminder of all the things that we learned in school but have since become relegated to the backs of our minds. I Used to Know That features hundreds of important snippets of wisdom, facts, theories, equations, phrases, rules and sayings. 
It is a practical guide to turn to when an answer is eluding you, when helping a child with homework or preparing them for the new school year, or maybe just to brush up on trivia for the pub quiz. 
I Used to Know That covers English Language and Literature, Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, History, Geography and General Studies, so never again will you find yourself stumped!
