The Big Book of American Trivia review and giveaway!

  Trivia fascinates me.  I may not know where I left my phone, but I can tell you that minoxidil is used for treating hair loss and that male seahorses- not female seahorses- give birth to their young.  I know you're impressed!;)  I love Jeopardy, Trivial Pursuit and playing Wii Smarty Pants.  When I set my eyes on The Big Book of American Trivia, written by J. Stephen Lang, I knew I had to read it.  It practically had my name on it!  The Big Book of American Trivia is a really fun collection of over 3,000 questions and answers!  Entertainment, History, Music, Literature, Art, Memorials, Holidays, Politics, Landmarks, and even Scandals are some of the many topics.  

A few of my favorite sections were Ten Questions (About Each State), America Month by Month, which states trivia questions by the month in which they occurred, and Doing it by the Decades- the 20's, 30's and 40's all the way until present day.  I rocked the 1970's, 80's and 90's.:)  Let Us Entertain You, which covers movies, theme parks, songs, TV, Toys & Games and more was also a blast!  

   The Big Book of American Trivia would be great to bring along on your next road trip, for a family gathering, or a gift for your favorite trivia lover or the person that has everything.  It truly includes a section for everyone!
