SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling himself "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.

Challenge Complete: Christmas Spirit


Michelle of Seasons of Reading sponsors Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge each year. In short, the challenge runs from November 21, 2016 through January 6, 2017. The books read must be Christmassy in nature--novels, short stories, books of poem, etc.

There are various levels:
--Candy Cane: read 1 book
--Mistletoe: read 2-4 books
--Christmas Tree: read 5 or 6 books (this is the fanatic level...LOL!)




Additional levels:
--Fa La La La Films: watch a bunch or a few Christmas movies...it's up to you!
--Visions of Sugar Plums: read books with your children this season and share what you read

*the additional levels are optional, you still must complete one of the main reading levels above



And each year I sign up for the Mistletoe level. I got my three books in and my challenge level is complete.
 
1. Beverly Gray's Mystery by Clair Blank [takes place during the Christmas holidays] (11/22/16)
2. Do Not Murder Before Christmas by Jack Iams (11/30/16)
3. A Corpse for Christmas by Carter Brown (12/31/16)

Not your typical Christmas fare, for sure! Thanks for alerting us to this challenge - I enjoyed participating in it for the first time this year.
