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!

Teaser Tuesdays


MizB of Should Be Reading hosts Teaser Tuesdays. Anyone can play along. Just do the following:

*Grab your current read.*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 Death of an Old Girl by Elizabeth Lemarchand (p. 108-9):

"These middle-class murders mean a hell of a lot of work," he [the Chief Superintendent] remarked.
"Sir?" replied Pollard, accepting the gambit.

{I couldn't just leave it with that...}

"The nobs," pronounced Crowe, "are news. Thanks to the press their lives are an open book.  In the working-classes the neighbours know everything, and a bit more.  The middle-classes are much better at covering their tracks. They're reticent, and expert at not attracting attention, all tucked  away in their detached homes with a nice bit of garden.  You have to dig.  Jolly deep, sometimes."
