SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling himself "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.

State of the Blog

So....the New Year began and life suddenly got crazy and my attention to the blog went from massive postings in the first few days to zero in nothing flat.  I've got two reviews coming at you....two end of 2012 challenge (Vintage Mystery and Color Coded) prize drawings to do and.....HEY.....I just noticed.  I have 500 Followers!  Woo Hoo!  I promised long ago and far away (when I hit 300 followers) that there would be a major celebration when I hit 500.  So, watch this space, folks.  After I take care of the reviews and regularly scheduled prize drawings, there will be a Follower Appreciation Celebration to attend.  Your invite is in the works.

Congrats on 500!!! I always feel bad because I follow most people by RSS feed so I don't think it counts for most people. But I follow too! :-D

Geoff: I've also got that second box for followers--but I know several of them follow both ways. So, I have suspected that I've had 500 for a while, but had no idea how to count for sure. All you folks who follow by RSS feed/email will certainly be welcome to join the party once I get the details in place.
