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.

Scavenger Hunt Check-in Winner!



Well, the first check-in post drew few contestants this time. The telephone, musical instrument, bottle of poison, flower/s, food, and moon just weren't popular items. I only found one of those myself--the telephone on Murder at Government House by Elspeth Huxley. So--with only three entries, the custom random number generator didn't have to think too long and hard to come up with a winner. 

Our first Vintage Scavenger Hunt winner for 2017 is link #2: Linda @ Philly Reader who found a piano on Elizabeth Daly's Somewhere in the House. Congratulations, Linda! I will be contacting you soon with the prize list. 

Thanks to everyone who is out there scavenging in the mystery fields with me. Another set of scavenger items is waiting in the wings for our next check-in post.
