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!

2014 Science Fiction Experience

2014sfexp200

Carl V over at Stainless Droppings has been a little sneaky this year...instead of starting his 2014 Sci-Fi Experience in January, he's giving us an early start in December 2013.  So...I'm going to be looking over my TBR stacks and lining up some SF reads for December and January.  I'm going to take a wild guess and say that I'll finish at least five by January 31st.

The goal? Just to read, discuss, and enjoy some science fiction.  No required reading levels.  Low pressure and fun!  So go on and join us!

Reviews not required, but if you'd like to share them then the Review Site can be found here.


Okay--I've had a chance to look things over.  Here are some possibilities:

1. Other Times, Other Worlds by John D. MacDonald (1/26/14)
2. Dangerous Visions #3 by Harlan Ellison, ed (1/11/14)
3. Triumph by Philip Wylie (1/18/14)
4. The Big Eye by Max Ehrlich (12/27/13)
5. The Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1/2/14)
6. Shakespeare's Planet by Clifford D Simak (1/6/14)
7. Angels & Spaceships by Fredric Brown (1/12/14)
8. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick (1/29/14)

Good luck! I've already read two so am also reckoning on at least five read too. And the January ones candidates for Mount Ararat of course.
