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: Time



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 Time (Clock, Hours, Minutes, Seconds, etc). 


Here is mine from Murder at the Portland Variety by M. J. Zellnik:
From the moment she entered the lobby of Crowther's Portland Variety, Libby Seale could tell something was amiss. (p. 1) 

Where are those moving men? I must be at my train in five minutes! There are nothing but lazy, no-good people in this city. They must hurry...I will stay in this city not a minute longer than I have to!

I love the frantic, cursing tone of the second sentence.
