The Formula One “96 Facts” Book Comes Out on March 3rd!
Attention, racing fans! (Or more accurately, parents of racing fans!) 96 Facts About Formula One will come out from Penguin Random House on Tuesday March 3rd, 2026. Like most of the previous “96 Facts” books, this one was written by yours truly and illustrated by the amazing Risa Rodil.
Here’s the official publisher description of 96 Facts About Formula One:
Packed with fun facts, quick quizzes, and bonus pages for journaling, this is a must-have for anyone wanting to know more about some of F1’s most famous drivers, including Charles Leclerc, Jamie Chadwick, Lella Lombardi, Lewis Hamilton, Marta García, and Max Verstappen.
The book is available for preorder HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE.
BTW, if you’ve read my previous blog post, you’ll notice that 96 Facts About Formula One is not the only “96 Facts” book which will be published on March 3rd. 96 Datos Sobre Taylor Swift, the Spanish-language edition of my bestselling book 96 Facts About Taylor Swift, also comes out that very same day. So if you have a kid who’s into pop stars, racecars, or some combination
thereof, they’ll have something to read that day!

“Amusing Jews” Podcast Interview!
A few weeks ago, I was a guest on an episode of a podcast called Amusing Jews, where hosts Jonathan Friedmann & Joey Angel-Field spoke to me about my nonfiction book The Encyclopedia of Curious Rituals and Superstitions. The episode (Ep 136) is out NOW, and you can check out two versions of it: the video version (which I highly recommend, because – well – you can actually SEE Jonathan, Joey, and me), or the audio version, which you can listen to on Spreaker.
You can see the video version immediately below.
Or you can listen to the Spreaker version HERE.

Perhaps you even want to buy a copy of the book, after listening to that podcast interview. Well, you’re in luck! You can buy it HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE!
