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.Link*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 ruin 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 mine from The Jesus Incident by Frank Herbert and Bill Ransom (p. 51):

Poetry, like consciousness, drops the insignificant digits.


[This sentence was such a grabber for me, that I only picked one this week.]

Nice - Great Teaser!

This week at SunnyReads is “Gail Carriger & The Parasol Protectorate Week,” and we are celebrating the release of the final book in the series, “Timeless,” by taking a look back at the series as a whole. So today I have a Teaser from each one of the books published so far! That’s FOUR Teasers for the price of one!

This one has always interested me. I've never read anything by Herbert besides a couple of the Dune books, but really enjoyed those. Good teaser!

Oh my goodness, that's a pretty heavy sentence. Might take days for me to work it out.:)
