This week’s topic: Things I’ve Googled because of a book

I do a lot of googling and have found out some interesting things.

How far underground can a dog smell a body? Yes, I read suspense and was curious. Answer a dog can smell remains 15 feet deep.

I live in the US and read a lot of books taking place in the UK so I google to see if these are actual places.

I read a lot of historical fiction and look up words of old-fashioned objects. For example, I’ve looked up what a U boat was and jack boots. These are WWII related.

I look up events in history I’d like to know more about.

I look up foreign words in books I don’t understand.

While reading a historical fiction about a person going to someone for a natural substance for poisoning, I had to look that up. They were given purple nightshade berries.

I google series of books or what book is releasing next by an author I read.

I google people I read about in books to see if they’re actual people and find out more about their life.

I’ve googled words from books I’ve read taking place in the UK. I’ve learned boot is the trunk and bin is for household waste and recycling.

I’ve googled what current places used to be called for example I didn’t know Nova Scotia used to be called Acadia until I read The Seamstress of Acadie by Laura Frantz.

I’m sure there are more things I’m missing.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping in.
