MY READER'S BLOCK: January Reading Wrap-Up

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!

January Reading Wrap-Up

What Red Read posted a January wrap-up post with these statistics. I was intrigued (and love tracking things like this) and decided that I just had to do it too--adding a couple of stats. Here's what my reading for the month of January looks like:

Total Books Read: 20
Total Pages: 4120
Percentage by Female Authors: 55%
Percentage by US Authors: 50% (not bad when you consider I'm a Brit Lit girl)
Percentage Fiction: 80%
Percentage written 2000+: 10%
Percentage of Rereads: 5%
Percentage Read for Challenges: 100%

Number of Challenges fulfilled so far: Zero (hoping to change that this weekend!)
