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!

Spring into Horror Read-a-Thon Wrap-up

Spring into Horror

Read-a-Thon

April  18 - 24

I beat down my horror of horror and joined up for Michelle's read-a-thon over at Season's of Reading. Fortunately, for those who are weenies when it comes to horror (like me!), that included a thriller, mystery, Gothic novel, or something similar. In addition to the required one book in the theme, I managed three more--and two of them were fairly spine-tingling. The Chalk Circle Man featured a serial killer of sorts and I wrapped it all up with a collection of 13 ghost stories. Thanks for hosting, Michelle!


I'll list my books below:
1. One Foot in the Grave by Peter Dickinson (4/18/16)
2 The Chalk Circle Man by Fred Vargas (4/21/16
3. Death in Cyprus by M. M. Kaye (4/22/16)
4.The Pocket Book of Ghost Stories edited by Philip Van Doren Stern (4/24/16)

I am not much into horror either...but do try to read it sometimes...in small doses. I finished a condensed thriller and started a "TV show thriller." The second book had a van with a plane of sorts stored inside...definitely TV show.
