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!

Vintage Sci-Fi Month [January Only]

Vintage SF badge

From Redhead at Little Red Reviewer: 

Welcome to the Vintage Science Fiction not-a-challenge!  Through out the month of January, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016,, 2017 I will be reading and discussing as much “older than I am” science fiction and fantasy that I can, and everyone is invited to join me!  We’ll be talking about time travel, laser guns, early robotics, first contact, swords and sorcery, predictions for humanity and the authors who came up with it all. Haphazardly, the defining year for “vintage” is 1979.  The only “rule” for this not-a-challenge is that your blog post must be during the month of January. To see previous posts about Vintage Science Fiction Month, just type “Vintage” into the little search box-thing.
 



I'm in again--trying for four SF books in January:
1. The Silent Invaders by Robert Silverberg (1/7/17)
2. Battle on Venus by William F. Temple (1/7/17)
3. The Hidden Planet by Donald A. Wollheim, ed (1/9/17)
4. Metamorphosis by Gene L. Coon (1/16/17)
5. I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison (1/24/17)
