MY READER'S BLOCK: What's in a Name? 2020

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!

What's in a Name? 2020

Andrea at Carolina Book Nook is back with another round of the What's in a Name Challenge. This has always been a favorite of mine, so of course I'm back for another round as well. The format is the same--six categories and one book required for each one. For full details, see the link above.

Here are the categories and my preliminary list:

1. An ampersand: The Ampersand Papers by Michael Innes (8/8/20)
2. An antonym: The Life and Death of the Wicked Lady Skelton by Magdalen King-Hall (4/25/20)
3. Four letters or less: Kept by D. J. Taylor (5/2/20)
4. A given/first name: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie (1/9/20)
5. Reference to children: Blotto, Twinks, and the Ex-King's Daughter by Simon Brett (7/1/20)
6. One of the four natural elements: Murder on the Waterfront by Michael Jahn (1/20/20)

Complete!
