MY READER'S BLOCK: Booking Through Thursday Response

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!

Booking Through Thursday Response

Today's Booking Through Thursday Question: Do you prefer reading current books? Or older ones? Or outright old ones? (As in, yes, there’s a difference between a book from 10 years ago and, say, Charles Dickens or Plato.)

Bev's Answer: I'm very picky on current books. I probably read one current title for every 20 or so older books. My general range is Golden Age mysteries (1920s-1940s) & literature from the same period and anything on back from there. I'll take a good Golden Age or classic lit book over anything that's been written recently.
