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. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.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! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Saturday Snapshot: Happy New Year!

Saturday Snapshot is a meme hosted by Alyce at At Home with Books. All you have to do is "post a photo that you (or a friend or a family member) have taken and then leave a direct link to your post in the Mr. Linky on [her] blog. Photos can be old or new, and be of anything as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give is up to you." All she asks is that you don't just post random photos that you find online.



This is a picture of Times Square in NYC. No, I wasn't there on New Year's Eve. This is from my last trip in October 2009. But this is a view of the area where I would be...if I were going to travel all the way to NYC just to watch the ball drop. Which I don't plan on ever doing.

It was really neat watching the ball drop (from the comfort of my home) after having visited NYC last summer. I don't plan on ever being there for New Year's either - too many people!

Happy New Year!

I used to think I should go to Time Square to see the ball drop at least once. And then one year I spent NYE at a bar not far from Time Square and realized this is an immensely better idea. I'm warm, I have drinks and I can watch the ball drop on TV while hearing the crowds.

Oh, I've always wanted to be there, but not necessarily when the ball drops. That crowd would make me claustrophobic! LOL

Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.

Reminds me of the clean-up they will be doing today. I wish to visit at some point in the future.
