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!

Ten Pins 2023-24

 


Rick at the Mystillery has the bowling lanes waxed, the bowling pins polished, and the bowling shoes all lined up for those who don't have their own. Your reading challenge goal is to knock down all ten pins using books with numerals in the title. You can use any book read this year. For full details click on the link above.

I've got my bowling shoes on and am on my way to knocking all ten pens down:


Number One Is Walking by Steve Martin
"Missing: Page Thirteen" by Anna Katharine Green MINUS Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel = 2

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome
The Four False Weapons by John Dickson Carr
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hallie Rubenhold
6 X H by Robert A. Heinlein
 "The Eighth Lamp" by Roy Vickers MINUS "Four to One--Bar One" by Henry Wade = 7
 Murder for Two by George Harmon Coxe X The Four Just Men by Edgar Wallace = 8
Nine--And Death Makes Ten by Carter Dickson
12 Impossible Daredevil Stunts by Samantha S. Bell 
"The Problem of the Five Marks" by Melville Davisson Post (the 2 in 12 X 5 = 10)

Pin 8 is a tough one. It just doesn't have the mysteriosity of a "three" or a "nine". Odd numbers just seem more ominous for mystery titles. May have to resort to some fancy math to knock it down. Say, they just put out some fresh pizza at the snack bar. Shall I grab you some while I'm up?
