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!

What's In A Name 4

Yep. You got it...I'm signing up for "just one more" challenge. Thanks to Cheryl at CMash Loves to Read and Violette at The Mystery Bookshelf, this one has been on my radar for a little bit. I've finally figured out how I can get at least half of the books to cross-over with other challenges I'm doing...so I'm only adding three books. And besides, I've signed up for that "Outdo Yourself Challenge" too, so the more books the merrier, right? Right?


Heres' the scoop on the What's In a Name 4 Challenge for 2011 sponsored by Beth at Beth Fish Reads:

Read one book in each of the following categories...

*A book with a number in the title: 5 Bullets by Lee Thayer (read 1/12/30)
*A book with jewelry or a gem in the title: The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope (2/1/11)

*A book with a size in the title: The Giant Rat of Sumatra by Richard L. Boyer (5/17/11)

*A book with travel or movement in the title: The Dancers in Mourning by Margery Allingham (5/11/11)

*A book with evil in the title: Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury (5/5/11)

*A Book with a life stage in the title: Tom Brown's School Days by Thomas Hughes (5/13/11)

Challenge Complete: 5/13/11

The books may be in any format (printed, audio, e-book) and can overlap with other challenges. But you must read a different book for each category (six total). Creativity for matching the categories is encouraged! You don't have to list your books before hand and you don't have to read the books in the order given.

On January 1, Beth will publish 7 posts, each with a Mr. Linky (for each category and one for the wrap-up post) on her blog so you'll have a place to post review links (bloggers) or leave comments (non-bloggers) as you complete your challenge journey.
