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!

1. Hercule Poirot's Christmas by Agatha Christie


2. Tied up in Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh


3. The Twelve Deaths of Christmas by Marion Babson


4. The Christmas Crimes at Puzzle Manor by Simon Brett



5. The Christmas Night Murder by Lee Harris



6. Shrouds of Holly by Kate Kingsbury


7. A Christmas Visitor by Anne Perry


8. Envious Casca by Georgette Heyer


9. The Twelve Crimes of Christmas by Waugh, Greenberg & Asimov (eds)



10 "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Very creative list. I think you must love mysteries! Ha! (How did I guess?) My selections centered around books my family and I read aloud each year.

Oh my gosh, I did not know about some of these! I will have to check them out! I'm doing the Christmas Spirit Challenge, so I might manage to squeeze one in there. :D
