No problem. Only reason I've been doing it because I don't really know the answer and person who come up with it isn't here. :)

I'm in festive mood, so yeah. :)

I have a question about the category Body of Water: Will the book One Mississippi by Mark Childress count, since it's the name of a river.

I'm also having problems with the category Cultural. I don't know what counts for this category. Does Heaven Is For Real and On Agate Hill count, since they are name of places.
