                                                 MAKE #TIMETOREAD 

                                                             24th, Jan 2015

I came across this very noble cause through a friend at work and felt obliged to share it to raise awareness. 

Basically +Penguin Random House is teaming up with the chaps from +Goodreads and +Mashable to encourage more people to take part in next years National #Readathon day which will be happening towards the end of January 2015.  

The task is quick and simple: Make more #timetoread and help change someones life this winter by celebrating the National Readathon. 

All you've got to do is pledge to sit down, brew yourself a nice cuppa and read from 12 to 4PM with other book fans all across the country. Host your own book parties, arrange a trip to your local bookshop and show the world just how important it is to #maketimetoread 

Get started right now and make a change! Create your own fundraising campaign page over at +FirstGiving and invite people to donate. Any small amount can make a difference and change someones life.

Time for another Special Guest Post,  Huzza!   Today's Guest Post will be from Nottingham-based Author Jack Croxal l! His new best-selling   short story X is now available for purchase from Amazon UK & Amazon US.  Halloween Guest blog – Jack Croxall I love Halloween. Not just because of the fancy dress and mischievous hijinks, but because of all the spooky stories that rear their creepy heads to give us goose bumps, shudders and, most importantly, that little something extra to think about.
