SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling themself "Luigi Calloway" out there who is claiming to be associated with the Mount TBR Reading Challenge. He is contacting authors and telling them if they pay him, then their books will be used for the challenge. It's possible he's also telling people they must pay to participate in any way. Please know that there is absolutely no charge associated in any way with this reading challenge and that this person does not represent me or anything associated with my blog. There will NEVER be a reason for anyone to have to pay for participation in any way for any of my challenges. If only people who exert this much time and effort on scamming people would put it into something worthwhile....like reading their own books!

Booking Through Thursday:


This week Booking Through Thursday wants to know: "Even I read things other than books from time to time....like, Magazines! What magazines/journals do you read?"

I have had a subscription to the London Review of Books for quite some time and was a faithful reader. But I just let my subscription lapse so I won't be reading it this year. I still have a Smithsonian subscription and read that. And any time there's a New Yorker available I'll read that too. But, really, I'm not much of a magazine reader. If I want something shorter, then I'll go for short stories or poetry.

I don't read a lot of magazines either.

My guilty pleasure each week is Entertainment Weekly and US Weekly. Last year, we used a lot of unused air miles to get free magazines and were inundated with all these magazines that we could not keep up with for 6 months. To be honest, we only really read them in the bathroom ... to help "pass the time."

Oh my gosh, I used to be SUCH a magazine reader. At one time I remember receiving as many as ten different magazines every month. Although several of them were art work related.

I used to receive the old version of Victoria Magazine for years and years.

Now I just receive Country Living and occasionally when I remember to renew, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. I do like to read decorating magazines and every once in awhile I also read Vogue and Elle.

I've always loved magazines. Don't have as much time to read them these days. And those New Yorkers do stack up alarmingly!
