MY READER'S BLOCK: Monthly Motif Challenge 2015

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!

Monthly Motif Challenge 2015

January 1, 2015 - December 31, 2015

Kimberly is also hosting the Monthly Motif Challenge. This one has 12 themes--one for each month. These are going to take a bit more thinking...so, I'll gradually add titles that I'm sure of and update as I figure out what books will fit. If you'd like to join, click on the link above for details and the sign-up linky.
