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. 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!

Back in June I signed up for Quirky Girl Reads' Classic Bribe Challenge. Here are the basic requirements:


  • Read at least 1 Classic over the summer – between June 1st and the end of Labor Day Weekend, September 5th


  • You can have begun the Classic prior to June 1st, but it needs to have been completed between the challenge dates above


  • Post a review on your blog of each Classic that you read during the challenge period and reference a link to this The Classic Bribe challenge page


    • Completed Book List:
    Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen (6/11/11)Seven Gothic Tales by Isak Dinesen (8/15/11)

    I had hoped to complete the following two books in my original post, but Middlemarch proved too much for me...at least for now. I will have to complete these two if I want to finish a few more challenges (no wiggle room on those...)

    Middlemarch by George Eliot
    Hide & Seek by Wilkie Collins

    That makes for 14 Challenges Complete! Only about 17 more to go.....
