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!

Challenge Complete: Chunkster Challenge

With my book on Edna St. Vincent Millay, I have finished another challenge for 2011.





The Chunkster Challenge was hosted by Wendy and has its own dedicated blog.

I was initially reserved and signed up for the The Chubby Chunkster. But I was later able to find enough books to upgrade to the Do These Books Make My Butt Look Big? level. My completed reading list:

1. Tristram Shandy by Laurence Sterne (my edition just made it at 458 pages) [5/24/11]
2. Middlemarch by George Eliot (848 pages) [9/27/11]
3. The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón (544 pages) [7/6/11]
4. Savage Beauty: The Life of Edna St. Vincent Millay by Nancy Milford (608 pages) [11/19/11]
5. The Eustace Diamonds by Anthony Trollope (794 pages) [2/1/11]
6. The Book Thief by Mark Zusak (554 pages)


CHALLENGE COMPLETE 11/19/11 So...Do These Books Make My Butt Look Big?

Good for you - that's quite an accomplishment!

I do hope Wendy hosts this challenge again for 2012. I've got Vikram Seth's A Suitable Boy on my TBR pile. It's one of the top ten longest English novels (593,674 words) and I want to be able to count it toward something worthwhile!
