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!

Reading Event Complete: Vintage Science Fiction Month

Vintage SF badge

Sponsored by Redhead at Little Red Reviewer, the Vintage Science Fiction month! (not a challenge) has us focus on reading “older than I am” science fiction. Our mission (not a challenge :-) ) is to read science fiction and speculative fiction published before 1979. We're also encouraged to visit those worlds via audionovel, radio plays, TV or silver screen as well.

After participating in 2014, I signed up for another round and, as a personal challenge, committed to at least two science fiction reads in January.
 
Here's what I managed last month:

1. Ten Thousand Light-Years from Home by James Tiptree, Jr. [1973] (1/2/15)
2. Asimov's Choice: Black Holes & Bug-Eyed Monsters by George H. Scithers (ed) [1977] (1/9/15)
3. Alpha 2 by Robert Silverberg (ed) [1971] (1/18/15)
4. Rod Serling's Twilight Zone Revisited by Walter B. Gibson (adapted by) [1964] (1/20/15)
5. The Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham [1951] (1/22/15)
