Mystery Lover...but overall a very eclectic reader. Will read everything from the classics to historical fiction. Biography to essays. Not into horror or much into YA. If you would like me to review a book, then please see my stated review policy BEFORE emailing me. Please Note: This is a book blog. It is not a platform for advertising. Please do NOT contact me to ask that I promote your NON-book websites or products. Thank you.
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!

I have now completed the whole of the gold bingo grid =)
The last remaining books I needed were:
Place name in title: Passenger to Frankfurt (alas the worst Christie novel I have ever read)
Size in the title: Five little Pigs by Christie
Borrowed book: Death in the Clouds by Christie
Sorry just realised that Passenger to Frankfurt was published after 1960 (drat lol).
Does any one have any good recommendations for novels with place titles in them?
Well, Kate...I read Murder at the Villa Rose by A.E.W. Mason for "Place." I don't know how easy it would be to get hold of.
Would Murder in Mesopotamia count as a place? I know it's an anachronistic term, but technically it was counted as a place in the past.
Kate: Yes, indeed. Mesopotamia is definitely a place.
Oh great =) I have completed my gold bingo grid then
Kate keep your eyes on the blog at the end of the year for final wrap-up postings and prize opportunities!
Managed to score my second bingo today - getting there Bev, getting there!
