Five Words for Charity
When I read through some of the posts from the latest read-a-thon I saw that some people were giving money to charity based on the number of comments left on their posts. I like this idea. As with any good idea I must tinker with it and make it my own. Here’s what I’ve come up with…
Tomorrow is the end of the month and the day I post my 5 word movie reviews and it will also give you the opportunity to add your two cents for charity.
Leave a comment with 1-5 words to describe the movie (don’t forget to tell me which one) and you will have contributed $1 to charity. How easy is that?! As a bonus, I’ll also contribute $1 for any 1-5 word review you leave on any of my previously reviewed movies (the list is here). I’m going to count all the reviews you all have already contributed. That’s $22 already in the charity fund!
So, what’s the charity? You tell me. Once we reach $100 the person who has contributed the most reviews will get to pick a charity and write a blog post about it (if they want). Since I’m counting previous reviews that means Heather is in the lead with 4, but that’s not so many that you can’t catch up 
She is followed by Stephanie with 3, Bermudaonion, Jo-Jo, Jenners, Hannah and Richard with 2 each, and Kay, Bumbles, Carol, Alice and Margot with 1 apiece.
It’s up to you how long this lasts. You could all get busy and we could have a winner and a charity before the weekend is over or you could make us wait quite a while to know the lucky charity. My two stipulations are that the charity must have a website or be able to accept online donations and that the reviews are real and not made up
Looking forward to your participation and giving money to a worthy charity.

What about me?
I’m a forty-year-old newish mom who loves books. I also love movies, red wine, and chocolate, although not necessarily in that order. We’ve been in the Cleveland area for ten years. I have a wonderful husband who never complains when I bring another book home, new son Gage and two furry kids-Scout the cat and Max the dog.

Your result for The Classic Dames Test...
Rosalind Russell
You scored 19% grit, 38% wit, 29% flair, and 29% class!
You are one wise-cracking lady, always quick with a clever remark and easily able to keep up with the quips and puns that come along with the nutty situations you find yourself in. You're usually able to talk your way out of any jam, and even if you can't, you at least make it more interesting with your biting wit. You can match the smartest guy around line for line, and you've got an open mind that allows you to get what you want, even if you don't recognize it at first. Your leading men include Cary Grant and Clark Gable, men who can keep up with you.Find out what kind of classic leading man you'd make by taking the Classic Leading Man Test.
What Jane Austen heroine are you?
Oh, what a fabulous idea! I’ll eagerly await your movie post and hopefully, I’ve seen some of them so I can leave a review
Awesome idea! I might have to borrow your neat idea for myself if that is ok but I think I’ll do books. Full credit to you though.
