MY READER'S BLOCK: Theme Thursday

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. I DO NOT endorse anything that he claims.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! A message to Luigi: Please cease and desist contacting authors (or anyone) in my name or claiming to represent this reading challenge. You absolutely DO NOT.

Theme Thursday

Hosted by Reading Between the Pages

Rules

A theme will be posted each week (on Thursday’s)
Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
Mention the author and the title of the book along with your post
It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)

*Link back to Reading Between the Pages

And this week's theme is Drinks (tea, wine, beer, water, anything liquid).

Here is my selection from "The Murder at Troyte's Hill" by C. L. Pirkis in The Dead Witness: A Connoisseur's Collection of Victorian Detective Stories (p. 334):

"When shall I see Mr. Craven? At dinner to-night?"
"That's what naebody could say," answered Hales. "He may not come out of his study till past midnight; sometimes he sits there till two or three in the morning. Shouldn't advise you to wait till he wants his dinner--better have a cup of tea and a chop sent up to you. Madam never waits for him at any meal."

I wouldn't mind a cup of sweet tea while I wait for someone. =) If a book is the best waiting companion, then a cuppa is definitely a close second!
