MY READER'S BLOCK: Challenge Complete: European Reading Challenge

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.

Once again, I joined Gilion on a tour of Europe with her European Reading Challenge – where participants tour Europe through books. I actually finished my announced travel commitment back in April and thought I might add a few more countries to the journey before the year's end. But--I wound up spending most of my time in England and roaming around the US. I think I may take a year off from virtual European visits--I have a first-time ever real-live trip to England in the works for this summer! But will plan to rejoin again in 2021, if Gilion keeps sponsoring.

FIVE STAR (DELUXE ENTOURAGE): Read at least five books by different European authors or books set in different European countries.

1. Clouds of Witness by Dorothy L. Sayers [UK] (1/12/19)
