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!

October Reading Wrap Up


I'm still keeping up with my love of lists and keeping track of all sorts of things (especially bookish things), so here are the vital statistics for the month of October:

Total Books Read: 10 (slacking...slacking...will never finish all those challenges at this rate)
Total Pages: 2634
Percentage by Female Authors: 50%
Percentage by US Authors: 20%
Percentage by non-US/non-British Authors: 0%
Percentage Mystery: 70%
Percentage Fiction: 90%
Percentage written 2000+: 30%
Percentage of Rereads: 20%

Percentage Read for Challenges: 100% {It's easy to have every book count for a challenge when you sign up for the Out Do Yourself Challenge. Every book I read counts towards my goal of 220 books read in 2011}


Number of Challenges fulfilled so far: Twenty-two! (65%)

I thought I was slacking a bit too, but 10 is still decent. Some people read 10 a year!
Happy November reading!

10 books in a month is slacking? Geez. I have yet to exceed 12 in a month. You do need to do something about that 0% non-US/non-UK authors after completing the EuroPass Challenge. Time for me to wave my finger at you. ;^)

@ John: Yes. I know. I've got some sitting on the TBR pile...so I'll definitely be traveling when I start mountain-climbing....

Oh...and normally I read about twice that. My reading speed has slowed considerably since I took up bifocals. Ick.

As with every month, I'm in awe of your reading stats. Your slacking month is still incredibly impressive :)
