MY READER'S BLOCK: Winter's Respite Readathon January 2018

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.

Winter's Respite Readathon January 2018

Michelle @ Season's of Reading is hosting her Winter's Respite Readathon and I thought maybe it would be just what I need to kickstart my reading for the New Year. I'm going to sign up and see if I can read all the books on my "Need to" list by the end of January. Hopefully, I'll get more than that done, but these are what I definitely want to knock out this month.

The readathon runs for the entire month of January. So, we start at 12:00 am on January 1 and end at 11:59 pm on January 31. Times are set for the central time zone so adjust your times accordingly. For full details, please check out the site (click link above).
