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!

Spring Serenity Read-a-Thon Wrap Up


The Spring's Serenity Read-a-Thon is all over....unfortunately. But I did get a lot of reading in. Almost a book a day! I began my reading in mid-book. Starting at page 258 of Victorian Tales of Mystery and Detection by Michael Cox (ed) and just kept going from there. And a good time was had by all....definitely be me!

1.
Victorian Tales of Mystery and Detection by Michael Cox (ed) (4/26/11) [320 pages]
2. Death of a Doxy by Rex Stout (4/26/11) [174 pages]
3. An Author Bites the Dust by Arthur W. Upfield (4/27/11) [224 pages]
4. Black Sheep by Georgette Heyer (4/28/11) [279 pages]
5. Prisoner of Zenda by Anthony Hope (4/29/11) [168 pages]
6. Fantastic Voyage by Isaac Asimov (4/30/11) [186 pages]
7. The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman (4/30/11) [just barely started at 48 pages]
8. Heavy Weather by P.G. Wodehouse (4/30/11) [started this book on CD as I was heading towards sleep. Finished one disc out of four]

Total books: 5 3/4 books (4 full and I think the partials add up to about 3/4 of whole book)
Total pages: 1399 (plus one disc's worth...not sure how many pages that equals)

Thanks so much to Michelle at The True Book Addict for sponsoring this!

Congrats on a very productive read-a-thon! A book a day is great! I only managed to finish two books, but still had a good time. Good news that the surgery went well! Happy reading!
