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!

What My Book Piles Say About Me


Wallace Yovetich over at BookRiot has written an article telling book hoard.....ER, collectors, yes (!) collectors what our piles of books say about us.  Here's the one that seems to fit me best....Although I can proudly say that I don't have more unread books than those that I have read.....Yet.


Poor dear. You are the one that had the BEST of intentions. You began your stacks with the belief that you would actually read the books you placed there. You had no idea, when you started this, that you would have so little will power when it came to bookstores and libraries. Soon the lust for books overcame you, you greedy little thing, you, and the stacks grew taller and wider. You now have more unread books than read books… welcome to the club.

I've been on a purging kick and have gotten rid of about 50 books that I have not read, but no long feel like I will want to read them either.
