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.

Back in August 2013 I signed up for the Non-Fiction Adventure.  Since this is a perpetual challenge lasting five years, I set myself the goal of reading at least 10 non-fiction books each year (my years will be the calendar years--not August to August).  I pushed and met that first goal in 2013, and now I've grabbed my 10th book for 2014

Non-Fiction Books Read in 2014:

1. The Kingdom by the Sea by Paul Theroux [1/20/14]  
2. You Can Write a Mystery by Gillian Rogerts (2/9/14)   
3. XCIA's Street Art Project by Hank O'Neal (2/20/14)   
4. It's Not All Flowers & Sausages by Jennifer Scoggin (3/10/14)

Great job! You're doing a lot better than me. But I'm going to be reading more non-fiction soon since I'm making three months out of the year designated non-fiction months for my TuesBookTalk read-a-long group. I'm determined to read more non-fiction!
