MY READER'S BLOCK: Classics Reading Challenge 2013

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! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

The Classics Reading Challenge is hosted by Thoughts at One in the Morning, and it goes from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. I've already signed up for the Back to the Classics Challenge and will be aiming for a definite six books and a hopefully 12 books.

Sincere there is no set levels for this challenge - the goal is to read at least one classic book--I'm going to set my personal goal for the six books that I've already committed to. Here's the list as I finish them:

1. Sherlock Holmes: His Last Bow by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (2/25/13)
2. The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith (3/6/13)
3. Mary Poppins by P. L. Travers (3/11/13)
4. The African Queen by C. S. Forester (4/6/13)
5. Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (7/8/13)
6. The Call of the Wild by Jack London (7/14/13)
