MY READER'S BLOCK: Theme Thursday: Female Name

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!

Here's mine from: The Yellow Room Conspiracy by Peter Dickinson (p. 25):

"This is Paul Ackerley. He was at school with me. Lucy Vereker."
"Hello," she said. "Nan's in the library."

"What is Nan doing in a library?" said Gerry.
"Practising ping-pong with an eyepatch."
"Paul is a bit overcivilised, so I thought it would do him good to spend an afternoon with the Visigoths."
"Aren't you going to ask me about the eyepatch?"
"I assume she's bet someone--your father?--that she can beat him like that."
"Was he always as irritating as this?" she said.
