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. 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.

WWW: Wednesdays


WWW: Wednesdays is hosted by MizB ofver at Should Be Reading.

To play along just answer the following three questions....

*What are you currently reading?
*What did you just recently finish reading?
*What do you think you'll read next?

Current: Leave It to Psmith by P. G. Wodehouse (for the Blandings Castle portion of the Wodehouse Challenge). "'Do you want someone to manage your affairs? Assassinate your aunt? Psmith will do it! Crime not objected to!' Freddie Threepwood needs a small crime performed to further his courtship of Eve Halliday (and to provide him with a bit of ready cash) and hires Psmith to come to Blandings Castle, his ancestral home. But Psmith takes charge in his own way and the affair becomes a mad mixture of pearls, pigs, and pandemonium." [So far, I've had nothing of the pigs and pearls. I would substitute poets and posies.]

Read Since Last Wednesday (click titles for reviews):
McKee of Centre Street by Helen Reilly
You Can Die Laughing by A. A. Fair (aka Erle Stanley Gardner)
Dividend on Death by Brett Halliday
Colour Scheme by Ngaio Marsh

Up Next:
Elegance by Kathleen Tessaro (for Take a Chance #3 Challenge)
The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop: A Memoir, A History by Lewis Buzbee
The Rim of the Pit by Hake Talbot (vintage mystery)

Do you get your books from the library, bookstore, or other? Do they have a special Bev section? Are these vintage authors?
