MY READER'S BLOCK: Challenge Commitment Completed: I Dare You To

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!

I picked up the "I Dare You To" Challenge just few weeks ago and to make it do-able for 2014, I set my first year goal a bit low--a mere ten Dares to complete for the rest of 2014. I thought it might go fast, but I had no idea how fast. Now we'll just see how many more I can finish before December is over.
