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!

Challenge Complete: 20 Books of Summer

20booksfinal 



 
 
Thanks to the Puzzle Doctor over at In Search of the Classic Mystery I discovered another Reading Challenge that didn't interfere with my "Read from the TBR" plan for 2016. It originated at the 746 Books blog – and it didn't provide too much trouble for dedicated readers. The challenge was to read twenty books over the summer (technically the 1st of June to 5th September). Last year I managed to squeeze in 39 books over that same time period--and I have now completed my 20th book!

Here's my list:

1. Murder in Amsterdam by A. J. Baantjer (6/3/16)
2. Midnight in Lonesome Hollow by Kathleen Ernst (6/4/15) 
3. The Cinnamon Murders by Frances Crane (6/6/16)   
4. A Is For Arsenic by Kathryn Harkup (6/8/16)
5. The Mystery Woman by J. U. Giesy & Junius B. Smith (6/12/16)   
6. The Silent Women by Margaret Page Hood (6/13/16)
7. Certain Sleep by Helen Reilly (6/16/16)
8. The Seven Wonders of Crime by Paul Halter (6/19/16)
9. The Ticking Clock by Frances & Richard Lockridge (7/8/16)
10. Too Good to Be True by J. F. Hutton
11. Murder in Any Language by Kelley Roos (6/21/16)
12. Bodies & Souls edited by Dann Herr & Joel Wells (6/28/16)
