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 – SHAPE
Instead of going to my room, I made my way to Central Processing. It was still early but that's another great thing about Lish: she doesn't sleep. I loved Central Processing. Unlike the rest of the Center, it didn't look sterile. The entire room was a circle, with desks placed against the wall and everything based around Lish's gorgeous aquarium. About fifty feet in diameter, it was fifteen feet high and a perfect circle. They even managed to transplant a living coral reef, complete with tropical fish in the crystal blue water. Way better than my unit.

Sounds an amazing room. Great snippet for this week's theme. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a good book!
ReplyDeleteI think circles give a feeling of endlessness specially if your are confined in a room. This is a unique description and probably the first circle I saw this month. BTW, the cover is catchy specially the colors on her dress. PS: Did I tell you I used your cover last week again in my meme (ofcourse I mentioned I stole it from you :) )
ReplyDeleteVery nice description and I love the cover...
