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: The Official 2019 TBR Pile Challenge



I was very glad that Adam from Roof Beam Read started hosting the Official TBR Pile Challenge on a regular basis again. This is one of the first challenges I did when I started blogging and I love the ones that help me knock out some of those books that have been sitting around for a while.

I've now completed my original twelve books as well as the alternates on the list. Thanks, Adam!

Added 12/18/19: I'm sad to learn that Adam will not be hosting this again in 2020. As I mention above, this was one of the first challenges I did and I've always enjoyed reading through the year with Adam. Thanks so much for all the years of hosting, Adam!
