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!

Bout of Books Update & Wrap up

Bout of Books Read-a-Thon
Bout of Books Read-A-Thon Update for Day 7:
Number of books I’ve read today: 0 (managed 73 pages of the final book)
Total number of books I’ve read:6
Books:
The Morning After Death by Nicholas Blake (5/14/12)
The Last Escape (aka: Dishonour Among Thieves) by E. C. R. Lorac (5/14/12)
The Man in Lower Ten by Mary Roberts Rinehart  (5/15/12)
A First Class Murder by Elliott Roosevelt  (5/16/12)
A Dram of Poison by Charlotte Armstrong  (5/17/12)
Such Friends Are Dangerous by Walter Tyrer (5/19/12)
Final book: Garden of Malice by Susan Kenney (73 pages completed)


Well, I feel like the Bout of Books has been a success.  I wanted to finish at least five of the seven books and I came pretty close to knocking out all seven.  The mini-challenges were a lot of fun (thanks to all the sponsors!)--my favorite was the Book Spine Poetry with Books & Shoes a close runner-up.  Thanks for another great read-a-thon!  It really helped me get my reading pace back on schedule.
