MY READER'S BLOCK: Teaser Tuesdays

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!

Teaser Tuesdays

MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

*Grab your current read.

*Open to a random page.

*Share two "teaser" sentences from somewhere on that page.

*BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! You don't want to spoil the book for others.

*Share the title and author too, so other TT participants can add it to their TBR lists if they like your teaser!

Here's my teaser from Mrs. Hudson and the Malabar Rose by Martin Davies (p. 219)

Otherwise, he'll just become one of those tedious, dusty old men with butterfly collections. And I know exactly what they are like because I've been forced to take tea with them all week. He calls them lepidopterists, which as far as I can see must be Latin for dusty old men.
