September is National Courtesy Month. Read a book with one of the following words or phrases in the title/subtitle: please, "thank you", thanks, "may I", pardon, welcome, sorry. Phrases in quotes must be found intact. No variations.

No, sorry, for this task the words must stand alone. No variation.

Sorry Please Thank You: Stories certainly works, though. ;-)

Yes, books in languages other than English may be used. But we ask you to please provide information on the book and/or title to your English speaking moderators so they can understand how the book fits the task.

No, sorry, books must have at least 100 pages to be used for points in the SRC. This appears to be a short story.

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11217 comments Farah wrote: "God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian

Does this work?"


No, sorry, Farah. The phrases in quotes must be found intact. So the word "thank" and the word "you" must be found together in the title or subtitle.

Thank You Notes by Jimmy Fallon


message 33: by Kristina Simon (new)

Kristina Simon (kristinasimon) | 11217 comments Amy wrote: "is this okay?
Thank You Notes by Jimmy Fallon"


No, sorry, Thank You Notes appears to be mainly pictures accompanied by a sentence or two that makes up the "thank you note." Books made up primarily of images without a substantial written component may not be used for points in the SRC.
