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:
PATHWAYS (reference to roads, streets, passages)
The Marked Son by Shea Berkley
“Within minutes, the rain streaks between the trees as if searching just for me. I finally break through, glad to be out of the woods. With rain pelting down, I run along a dirt path that’s grown muddy and slick, and I nearly slide past the back gate in my rush to safety.”
(Kindle location 492)
A very vivid description. Great snippet and a great cover too.

I'm about 70% finished with it, and so far I've really liked it. Can't wait to see how it ends, though since it's book 1, I know everything won't be wrapped up of course.
