15.9 - Facts Matter!
Since we'll likely spend a lot of time at home this summer, let's get ready for a game of Trivial Pursuit.

Trivial Pursuit is all about facts, trivial though they may be. Read a nonfiction book with one of the original trivial pursuit genres listed on its main page - geography, entertainment, history, arts or literature, science or nature, sports or leisure.

I assume a MPG of "Literature" works and does not have to be "Arts & Literature"? Life Being the Best & Other Stories

Literature would be fine, but the book must be nonfiction, and this is fiction.

Please confirm Everyday Watercolor: Learn to Paint Watercolor in 30 Days for MPG Art. Not sure if it works as the MPG is Art not Arts.
Thanks.
