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.

Secret Santa: Present Bonanza!




So, back in November Jamie & company over at The Broke and the Bookish announced that we could participate in this year's Secret Santa. I had so much fun with it last year that I signed right up again. I sent my package out to my Secret Santa friend on December 3rd (hope it got there safely!!!)....and guess what arrived in MY mailbox today. Yep--my Secret Santa package. Sheila Gallagher is an angel....or a devil. I'm not sure which.

You see, she sent me an amazingly heavy box stuffed full of wrapped goodies. That makes her an angel. BUT she also numbered the presents and sent a little instruction sheet with the gifts. She has put me on my honor to follow the "Twelve Days of Christmas" gift opening instructions....starting December 26th!!! Which means that I have to have this pile of goodies




staring at me for Eleven. More. Days. That makes her a devil. I don't know if I can stand it. But, Sheila, I promise I'll be a good girl and wait till the 26th. After all, Santa is watching me. :-)

Thank you, Sheila! I will post future updates as I unwrap my goodies.

What a cool idea! I don't know if I would have the patience to wait until the 26th.

Happy Holidays!

I'm not sure I would have the patience either, but it sure will be fun to see what's inside them!
