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!

Another "Life in Books" for 2011

srvalli from Valli's Book Den stopped by my first listing and told me about this list that was found earlier this year over at Pop Culture Nerd. And for those who wish to take part, all you have to do is finish the sentences Pop Culture Nerd has come up with using the title of the books you have read this year. And I just had to do this one too....

Here is My life as a Book

One time at band/summer camp, I: did The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell
Weekends at my house are: A Family Affair by Rex Stout
My neighbor is: The Man in the Brown Suit by Agatha Christie
My (ex) boss is:The Giant Rat of Sumatra by Richard L Boyer
My ex was: a Beast in View by Margaret Millar
My superhero secret identity is: The Last Defender of Camelot by Roger Zelazny
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry because: I am the Lord of Misrule by Jaimy Gordon
I’d win a gold medal in:The Lost Art of Reading: Why Books Matter in a Distracted Time by David L. Ulin
