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!

Book Bingo: Square #15 (& Challenge Complete)


I just completed Square #15 for the Book Blogger Bingo....and with that I have scored TWO Bingos.  One down the left side and one diagonal--for a total of three Bingos so far.  That also completes my initial commitment to the Book Bingo Challenge.  I decided on sign-up that two Bingos would be my goal and here I am with three.  But don't think I'm done...Oh, no.  This challenge-a-holic is going to try and cover the card.  We'll see how that goes.  Reading those books that "everyone by me" has read is going to be the real challenge....But I do see a couple of Bingos on the horizon.  You can see a complete list of all 38 books that I have read for the challenge so far HERE.

You're doing great, Bev! I just want to make sure that you're following the card right, though ... for the first column, for example, you'd read ONE book to cross off the first square, then you'd have to read TWO books in order to cross off the second square. This means that for the first column, a total of 15 books would have to be read.

Also, the free square isn't a free space. Instead, you have to read a book recommended by another participant.

Does that make sense? I have a check-in going up on the 1st of April that clarifies a lot of this!

Yes, I realize I have to read new books for each square. I've updated my post above to make it clear that I've read 38 books so far and directing the curious to the complete list.
