Theme Thursdays 3/24/11


Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event 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 - BUILDING

"Then the bus got underway after one last head check, slowly creeping out of the parking lot.  Sitting next to the window, Linda turned away, watching the buildings fade behind them." ~ The Killing Game by J.C. Stevens.  page 63

The Killing Game is about a mob hit man forced out of retirement to kidnap and deliver a government witness but instead has a plan of his own to survive...The Killing Game.

  2. It sounds like the bus of doom or, maybe, it's taking its passengers to some place safe? Come see mine if you get a chance.
