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! 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.

Alphabet Soup--Authors Edition 2019


Every year Lori at Escape with Dollycas sponsors the Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge (A-Z titles)--which I will be signing up for momentarily (because it's a challenge and I can't resist). BUT this year she's added a version for reading the alphabet in authors as well: Alphabet Soup--Authors Edition. So--our mission is to read books by authors whose first or last name will allow us to read one book for every letter of the alphabet. If you'd like to join in, please click on the link above for full details and the sign-up. X is going to be a tricky one. Especially since I prefer to read from my own shelves, if possible.
