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 Titanic 2012 by Bill Walker (p. 133):

Aside from the fact that nothing I wrote inspired me, I was haunted by what happened with Maddy on the Boat deck. She'd even invaded my dreams, my waking time disturbed by vague feelings and images I could no longer clearly recall.


Be watching this blog on April 24th for my review of Titanic 2012 as part of the Partners in Crime Blog Tour!

Those kind of feelings drive you nuts. You just can't get away from them. Good Teaser

Here are two lines from Persuasion by Jane Austen:

"You will stay, I am sure; you will stay and nurse her," cried he, turning to her and speaking with a glow; and yet a gentleness, which seemed almost restoring the past. --She coloured deeply; and he recollected himself, and moved away.
