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!

Strictly Print Reading Challenge

The Strictly Print Reading Challenge at Book Dragon's Lair is ideal for me since hard-copy books are what I'm all about.

There are several levels:
  • Board Books: 12  (New level)
  • Picture Books: 26  (New level)
  • Chapter Books: 52
  • Middle Grade: 78
  • Teen: 104 
  • Young Adult: 156
  • Adult: 208 or more  

I am in fort the Young Adult level of 156. I used to be able to read over 200 books a year, but I haven't hit that mark for quite some time. If I read like a house on fire in 2018, then I'll level up.
