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!

That is the L-line completed

L1 “Read one book set in the Entertainment World” – Edmund Crispin – Frequent Hearses (1950)
L2 “One Book that has been made into a Movie or TV Show” – Agatha Christie – The ABC Murders (aka The Alphabet Murders) (1936)
L3 “Read One Book with an Amateur Detective” – Edmund Crispin – The Moving Toyshop (1946)
L4 “Read one book with a man in the Title” – Margery Allingham – The Case of the Late Pig (1937)
L5 “Read One Academic Mystery” – Dorothy L. Sayers – Gaudy Night (1935)
L6 “Read one book that involves a mode of transportation” – Agatha Christie – Death in the Clouds (1935)

I may have cheated a teensy bit by using 2 authors a lot but I do like Edmund Crispin and Agatha Christie.
