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 Complete: Fall Into Reading 2012

  
Fall into Reading
September 22-December 21
Hosted by Katrina at callapidder days
 

Katrina has once again been hosting her low-pressure challenge. The only real requirement was to make a list. Just figure out what books you'd like to read this fall and sign up and read them. That's it.

Last year I followed the lead of Book Dragon's Lair. Her plan for the challenge was to set up two lists. One list for the rest of the year and a shorter list just for the Fall Into Reading Challenge.  That worked really well for me, so that was the plan for Fall 2012.  I have completed the short list (and then some!)--I have about three books left on the long list and I'll have all the challenges complete for 2012--Woo Hoo!

Oh, impressive. And I like the idea of two lists . . . may try that in 2013.
