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!

Theme Thursday: Women & Relationships





Rules:


*A theme will be posted each week on Thursday
*Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from your current book that features the theme

*Post it and don't forget to mention the author and title of the book
*Event is open for the whole week

*Link back to Reading Between the Pages

This week's theme is Women Relationships: Relation that one can have with a woman like Mother, Aunt, Sister, Girlfriend, etc.



Here's mine from A Piece of Justice by Jill Paton Walsh:

It was a bit of a struggle for Granny Vi to get herself out of the car, and up the steps, and into the hotel. She was frail, and slow. But she gave Imogen the curious impression that she was good at being frail; quite practised and skilled at it.
