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!

Challenge Complete: Library Books Reading Challenge

Even though my goal for 2013 is to read primarily from my own TBR stacks, I do love the library and I did sign up for a few challenges that are going to require some library check-outs.  My husband and I stop by the library once a week on our lunch hour and then again on Saturday--and there are times that I just can't resist the chanting of the books over on the "New Releases" shelves...particularly the new mysteries.  I also want to support my local library as much as I can.  That's why I signed up for the Library Books Reading Challenge hosted by Book Dragon's Lair.  Reviews were not necessary, but I do them for all my reads, so you will find links to all the library books read for the challenge below.






I signed up for the Middle Grades level which required me to read 18 books borrowed from libraries. I threw in one more for good measure....

wow, already? Good job!

The Man in the Empty Suit sounds interesting and I've got Ready Player One on it's way from my library.
