Theme Thursday

Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event hosted by Reading Between Pages that will be open from one Thursday to the next. Anyone can participate in it. The rules are simple:

• 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)
  Ex: If the theme is KISS; your sentence can have “They kissed so gently” or “Their lips touched each other” or “The smooch was so passionate”

This will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.

This week’s theme is:

SMILE (Laugh, Grin, Giggle, Guffaw, etc)

Mercy Blade: A Jane Yellowrock Novel by Faith Hunter

“He gave me that half smile, the faint but intense one that had been known to curl my toes, and raked my body with his eyes again. ‘You look striking tonight, Jane, lethal and lovely.’”

“Bruiser’s eyes came alight and he showed teeth in a wicked smile. My blood pounded, following the percussive beat of the music. Our skin was slick with sweat from the humid night and the glowing coals, our hands sliding through perspiration, flesh heated beneath.”
