MY READER'S BLOCK: Vintage Mystery Challenge Checkpoint

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!

Including myself, there are 51 challengers signed up to read Vintage Mysteries this year. And of those fifty-one, seventeen intrepid souls have already completed their challenge level--and several like those mysteries so much they have kept on reading. Here are the winners so far...
