MY READER'S BLOCK: Challenge: Throwing in the Towel

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!

Challenge: Throwing in the Towel

I'm afraid that the Books Won Challenge sponsored by So Many Precious Books, So Little Time is not going to get done. There's just no way on earth I'm going to be able to read 4 more of these things before the end of the year. Especially since I could not finish Perfect Reader by Maggie Pouncey. I declared myself for the Silver level (see below) but have barely scraped myself into the Honorable Mention. Mark this one down as the big FAIL.

Honorable Mention: Read 1-3 book you won.

Bronze: Read 4-6 books you won.

Silver: Read 7-9 Books you won.

Gold: Read 10 or more books you won.

I plan on going for the Silver Level (7-9 books won) and here are the intended reads and reviews:
1. The Praise Singer by Mary Renault (12/20/11)
2. Scorpions: The Battles & Triumphs of FDR's Great Supreme Court Justices by Noah Feldman (7/1/11)3. The Outside Boy by Jeanine Cummins
4. The Queen's Pawn by Christy English
5. The Choice by Nicholas Sparks
6. The Heart of a Woman by Maya Angelou
7. Perfect Reader by Maggie Pouncey (Did Not Finish--just couldn't)
8. Death of a Chimney Sweep by M. C. Beaton (6/28/11)
