MY READER'S BLOCK: Theme Thursday (on Friday): Weather

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!

This week's theme is Weather. Here is my selection from Flaubert's Parrot by Julian Barnes (pp. 11-2):

On my last day in Rouen I drove out to Croisset. Normandy rain was falling, soft and dense.

kavyen said...: Great snippet.. Soft and dense is the perfect description for a pouring rain. Thanks for your theme suggestion, I hope it gets selected in the random selection next week. I think it will be a cool theme as well...; April 22, 2011 at 12:45 PM
Crystal (I totally paused!) said...: I'm so glad to hear your surgery went well!

Mine had rain in it as well, it mirrors the weather outside this week! It's from The Vespertine.; April 22, 2011 at 1:14 PM
Cat said...: I like that description - soft and dense brings to mind a gentle rain.
My snippet is also about rain but rather more uncomfortable.

Happy to hear your surgery went well . :-); April 22, 2011 at 5:35 PM
