SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling himself "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.

I'm Still Stylin'


It's true. It hasn't worn off yet. Thanks to Anne at My Head Is Full of Books, I've had my stylishness reinforced. That makes two people that think I've got stylish things going on here at My Reader's Block. Woo Hoo! Now, I've already done the drill the first time--so I'm going to stylishly rebel and not repeat the whole thing this time around. You can pop over to Anne's place to read the full criteria or just to say "Hi" cuz she's got a stylish blog too. But I will answer the questions again and I'll even add on the two extra that she's asking for.


7 Things About Me:

1. I am the proud mama of an Eagle Scout. I repeat this every chance I get. I can't help it.
2. I love snow. I hate other people driving in snow. Being an adult I have to put up with too much of the second part.
3. I absolutely believe the statement "There is no such thing as too many books."
4. I have a black thumb. People should only give me plants they hate so I can kill them for them. I wonder how much I could make as a plant contract killer?
5. I am really glad to be home for an extra day this weekend (Martin Luther King Day Monday) so I have extra reading time!
6. I have a life-long dream of visiting the British Isles. I've bookmarked a page that offers yearly mystery-lovers tours--now that would be perfect!
7. I wanted to be an Olympic figure skater when I was little. Unfortunately, I had two things against me....weak ankles and I cannot skate backwards for anything.

So many of the bloggers that I really want to give this award to have declared themselves "Award-Free"--so, having given out awards once, I'm just going to add one instead of the 15 asked for:

Freda's Voice Freda has an incredibly stylish blog and I love, love, love her Saturday meme Quote It! Stop by and see for yourself.

To see the others that have been nominated by me, go to my first stylish post, HERE.
