Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #34

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.

Today, my Hungry Hearts quote is from Nalini Singh’s Rock Courtship which I recently listened to, the narration made the story even better, and I loved it more than when I read it myself. David comes from a very tight-knit family, and they all used to cook together, so there is quite a bit of delicious sounding food in this volume. However, more than the food was the bonding they did over making or eating food – so well done!

My Hungry Hearts quote:

“David’s favorite chili.” Her eyes twinkled. “So, you finally took notice of my boy.”
Skin flushing, Thea leaned back against the counter, her hands braced on it. “I always noticed him,” she admitted. “I just… wasn’t in the right place to do anything about it.”
“Ah, the other one, hmm?” Alicia Rivera shook her head and went over to toss a bowl of salad sitting farther down the counter that held the tempered black glass of the built-in stovetop. “I had one like him before David’s father. I still haven’t forgiven Vicente for not finding me first, but he says I had to go through the other one so I’d appreciate him.”


Dont’ forget to link up. Thanks for stopping by today. Have a terrific Thursday and happy reading.

  1. Ooh, I like that…I have a similar story. 😉 I’ll share it with you sometime. I really think I’m going to listen to this series, Lexxie.
    I didn’t get my post up this week – again! The past few weeks I haven’t had as much time to read and what I am reading doesn’t have any good food or drink scenes. 🙁 The Seven series does but I haven’t figured out how to bookmark and/or highlight. One drawback (for me) to audio. Anyway, Happy Thursday, my dear! Enjoy the rest of your day! **BIG HUGS**

    • If you listen through the audible app, I think it’s possible to bookmark… I usually take notes in my bookjournal when I listen to books…
      I will have to find you on FB to get this similar story of yours, Brandee 😉
      Happy Thursday to you, too, my dear! *BIG HUGS*

  2. I am not a big chili eater because of the beans, but I really liked this quote and now of course I am probably going to buy it. I just looked-do you have to read the first book before this one or can this novella stand alone? Thanks for sharing 🙂
