Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #12
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted here at (un)Conventional Bookviews. So many of the books I read have food or drinks in them, some I’d love to try, and others I’d never ever want to taste… and I thought it could be interesting and fun to share some food and / or drink quotes… If you want to participate, you can grab my logo if you’d like, or you can make your own, but please link back to me in your own post.
The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not. Please share the title of the book it happened in, as well as the character who ate or drank the special little something you discovered between the pages of a good read. Please link up beneath, and visit other bloggers who are participating in Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts as well.
This week, my Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote is from Talon by Julie Kagawa. I just finished reading it, and I really enjoyed it – even if there are still a lot of things that I want to know about that universe, in which dragons exist alongside humans.
I looked up from where I was poking halfheartedly at my boiled lobster. As a whole, I didn’t like seafood. Dragons were carnivores; seventy percent of our diet had to consist of meat, and Sarah made sure we were fed appropriately, but in my opinion, lobsters weren’t food. They were big bugs that lived underwater, and ugly ones at that.
Thanks for stopping by today! I look forward to seeing your food or drink quote, too. Have a terrific Thursday and happy reading.

This is such a cool meme, Lexxie! 🙂 To be honest, I’ve never tasted lobster in my fifteen years of living. 🙁 I should definitely try, right?
Thanks Aimee 🙂 I guess it depends on whether or not you enjoy seafood? It’s pretty expensive, at least where I live, and lobster is the top of the top…
I have a strict sea food rule. TO NEVER EAT IT. Nope, just nope. Sea food and me don’t mix. I think this is the first comment for your feature where I don’t comment on being hungry. I just can’t be. Not when lobster is involved. LOL
I hope I didn’t make you feel queasy, Lily! I actually love sea food, but I can totally see what Ember meant about lobsters looking like some kind of ugly bug.
LOL Oh, that made me giggle. Because I wholeheartedly agree!! I’m not a fan of seafood myself – I know, I know… But I like the quote. And you know I’m eager to read Kagawa…oh to find the time. 😉
Sorry I didn’t get a TT&HH post done for this week. I’d scheduled my posts for this week waaay in advance, which is so unlike me. 🙂 But I didn’t take the time to look for a quote. Next week though, I promise. **BIG HUGS**
*gasp* you’re not a fan of seafood? Good thing I’m also an omnivore when it comes to food, then, so I won’t make you feel creeped out by what’s in my plate while we’re in Dallas 😉 *BIG HUGS*
Ugh, underwater insects. Not a huge fan of seafood myself! 😀 What an interesting meme, GREAT idea!!
Oh noes. I actually love seafood, which is possible why I thought that quote was so funny, Vlora 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

Ha..I love lobster and could eat it all day. I love this author but have been leery about this novel. I am glad to hear you enjoyed it.
I did enjoy it – it didn’t blow my mind like some of her other books, but I enjoyed it, and look forward to reading Rogue soon.
And like you, I could eat lobster and other seafood every day, if only it wasn’t so expensive here in the middle of Europe with no sea in sight.
What a great idea for a meme! I’m actually just finishing up a post on Books for People Who Love Food. Have a great week!
Thank you, Elizabeth 🙂 I figured I might as well make this something weekly, because I always notice what characters are eating and drinking.
