Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event hosted by Reading Between the Pages. It 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”
". . . with sleek blonde hair pulled back in a ponytail and the sort of fresh no-makeup look I wished I could pull off. I looked like death without makeup, and while my hair was blonde as well, it was that way because I dyed it myself, which meant it was a frizzy, damaged mess."My Life as a White Trash Zombie by Diana Rowland, pg 5
Great extract! I wish I could pull off the fresh, blonde hair, no make up look too, but alas no!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today. Don't feel ashamed about not having read Anne of Green Gables - I haven't either, hence reading it now. As for other classics I haven't read any of them - and not even Harry Potter!!!! Terrible.
