September M-o-M Challenge –Marti
Begins: 01Sept16 / Ends: 30Sept16

.
Our August M.o.M. (Member of the Month) was Marti. So this challenge is based on the information she shared about herself.

1. Marti has been a Junior Great Books facilitator. Read a book whose author First AND Last initial can be found in JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS. The last name is the last word with a space before it. Middle initials can be ignored. Letters may be used only as often as they appear in JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS (so you can use two 'R's but only one 'N'.

2. She'd like Kathy Bates to play her in the movie of her life. What's your favorite Kathy Bates movie role?

3. She'd like to attend all events in the Tennis Grand Slam. Read a book set in one of the TGS sites: New York, England, Australia, or France.

4. Marti has known her best friend for 47 years! How long have you known your BFF?

5 Among her pets, Marti has three chickens. Read a book with a bird on the cover (BONUS point if it's a chicken!).

---------------------------------------------------------

Rules of the challenge
Books must be at least 100 pages in length
Re-reads are fine, as long as you actually read the entire book
Book should be finished within the time-frame of the challenge.
Any format ("dead tree," e-book, audio...) is fine.

As always, have fun!

✔ 4. Marti has known her best friend for 47 years! How long have you known your BFF? - Since 1975 - 41 years! - regrettably I have lost contact with my first BFF - Laura - we met as toddlers because our mother's worked together. Our earliest shared memory was her 3rd birthday party (I was still two, but only 6 weeks from my own birthday); and we were BFFs all through high school and into our college years. Were we still in contact I'd be answering "almost 63 years."

I'm in but I can't seem to copy and paste. Does anyone know how? This has only happened since Goodreads changed their home page.

5/5

1. Lilliana Jones and the Temple of Groom--Rich Amooi

2. Miss Sue in the Blind Side. I loved that movie.

3. The Paris Effect by K. S. R. Burns

4. I don't know that I have a best friend. It's probably Joyce and it would be 20 years.

5. The Trouble With Chickens by Doreen Cronin

Sheila - welcome to the challenge. I have you linked.

@Sheila - I don't know why your cop and paste are not working as my copy and paste are still working. However, I have noticed some other stuff doesn't seem to like to work if the "Add to my Update Feed" (located under text box) is checked and I have to uncheck it and then it works. Try unchecking that option maybe?

James are you trying to use the add book/author link directly above the comment box in which you are typing?
