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 Goal Complete: Century of Books






Just realized that I had made it half-way through my century of books (my declared goal for 2018). Simon at Stuck in a Book has challenged us through the A Century of Books Challenge to review a hundred years' worth of books (1919-2018). Any books, any genre--fiction, non-fiction--didn't matter. And we could set our pace. Since I have so many challenges, I decided 50 per year for 2018 and 2019 should be about right. But to make it a little trickier, I'm going to try and fulfill every year with a mystery or mystery-related book.

Here's my list of 51 books read so far with their years:
