MY READER'S BLOCK: Thankfully Reading Weekend 2011

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!

Thankfully Reading Weekend 2011

In just two weeks, the third annual Thankfully Reading Weekend will commence!

Two years ago, Jenn at jennsbookshelves with the help of Candace from Beth FishReads and Jen from Devourer of Books , Thankfully Reading was born! An excuse to do an obscene amount of reading over the long Thanksgiving weekend!

Here are the basic details (for more, click on the Thankful Link above):

There are no rules to the weekend, we’re simply hoping to devote a good amount of time to reading, and perhaps meeting some of our reading challenges and goals for 2011. We thought it’d be fun if we cheered each other on a bit. If you think you can join in, grab the button and sign on to their Mr. Linky. If you don’t have a blog, you can sign up the comments!

I'm definitely in. I have major catch up work to do if I'm going to meet all my challenge deadlines by the end of the year. In fact, according to my Goodreads Challenge, I'm five books behind. How did that happen? "Obscene amounts of reading," here I come.
