Read Goblin Fruit and I'll donate

I have done two Goodreads giveaways now. A very large number of people signed up for a chance to win a copy of Goblin Fruit. A smaller, but still very large number of people added it to their "to read" list. However, judging from ratings and reviews, only a very small number of people have actually read it, and a tiny number of people have actually paid to read it.

SO to try to generate more buzz about my book, and hopefully get more people to read it (and because it will give me a warm glowy feeling and make me feel like my book is contributing something to the world) for each of the next twenty-five reviews people write of Goblin Fruit that cleverly include the word "pomegranate" I will make a $1 donation to a fruit related charity. That's a penny more than it costs to buy the kindle version of the book.

I am thinking the donation will either be to the The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation or a micro-loan through Kiva to a fruit related business (I realize the micro-loan is not technically a donation, but it still does incredible good.) I am definitely open to suggestions. I promise that none of the money will go to planting "goblin fruit." ;-) When I've gotten 25 reviews I will make the donation all together at one time (or if it takes a really long time I might break it up or do the whole thing early.) After I've donated I'll post some kind of proof here. I was thinking a screen shot, but I don't see anywhere to attach a picture so I might have to get more creative.
