SCAM artist alert

Apparently there is someone calling himself "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. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.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! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Theme Thursday: Crockery/Utensil



Rules:
*A theme will be posted each week (on Thursdays)
*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you're reading that features the theme.
*Post it and don't forget to mention the author and title of the book.
*Since we may take a few days to finish a book, this event is open for one whole week.

This week's theme is Crockery/Utensil. Here is mine from The Last Defender of Camelot by Rober Zelazny (p. 11):

The falling star did not burn out. It grew to the size of a dinner plate, a house, and hung in the air, exhaling the souls of suns.

Wow! I think that would be frightening or beautiful, just depending what kind of mood you were in to start with.

Never thought that a "dinner plate" could be in the same sentence as "air", "suns" and "star".

Nice one!
