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. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.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! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Tackle Your TBR Read-a-Thon!

Ooooh, look!  Another Read-a-Thon to motivate me to read all those books on my TBR stack (especially the ones that have to be read this year for all those challenges I signed up for)....




Laura and Tressa from  Colorimetry and Tressa's Wishful Endings respectively ask: Does your TBR pile just keep growing? Well, so do theirs! And they think that now is a great time to host a Read-a-Thon and to try and do something about it.  I'm going to join in--how about you?  Jump on the links to see what's up. There are promises of give-aways and mini-challenges!

My goal is to knock out at least ten books in the next few weeks.  Let's see how that goes.  Possible reads: 
The Haunted Doll's House by M. R. James
Famous Ghost Stories by Bennett Cerf (ed)
The Temple of Death by A. C. & R. H. Benson

The End of the Alphabet by C. S. Richardson 
The Dreadful Hollow by Nicholas Blake  
A Love Worth Giving by Max Lucado 
A Pound of Paper: Confessions of a Book Addict by John Baxter
