MY READER'S BLOCK: Theme Thursday: Numbers

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 have this book on my TBR list. Haven't gotten around to reading it, there are just too many books to read and not enough time. Thanks for stopping by. Have a question for you. How do you color your words? I've tried, I must not be doing it right or something. Can ya help me out? Just email me or leave a comment. Thanks. Have a great day!
