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!

2018 Monthly Key Word Challenge: My Sign-Up



I always enjoyed the Monthly Key Word Challenge, and since it looks like the last host has left blogging and isn't responding to questions about whether she plans to host again, I've posted my own edition of the challenge. And, of course, am signing up for it. The task is to read at least one book each month whose title includes one or more of the key words for that month. For instance, in January you might read Mystery in White by J. Jefferson Farjeon. All of the key words are listed below and full details may be found at the link above or in the Headquarters link on my left sidebar.

Here's my plan for the year. All titles subject to change if my reading whims take me to different books.


January: The White Cottage Mystery by Margery Allingham (1/1/18)
February: The Pink Camellia by Temple Bailey (2/5/18)
March: Green for a Grave by Manning Lee Stokes (3/13/18)
April: Mrs. Mallory & the Lilies that Fester by Hazel Holt (4/13/18)
