MY READER'S BLOCK: Reading Challenge Addict Checkpoint

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!

Reading Challenge Addict Checkpoint

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!

Now that we've hit the midpoint of 2013, I thought I'd take a moment and see how I'm doing on all those challenges I've gathered up for the year. Here's the scoop on where things stand at the beginning of July:

Signed up for a total of 28 Challenges....so far. (Including the Challenge Addict Challenge) Yes, I said "so far"--I'm sure that there will be future challenges come along that will sing their siren song and lure me in.
