Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #1
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. My magnificent banner is made by Silvia @ Darkest Sins, and I love it – she really captured exactly what I want to do with this meme.
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.
For this very first Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, I want to share a great-sounding Martini Mac made in Burned by Karen Marie Moning. I would really like to try this drink, and it would be even better if Mac would make it for me 😉 At the same time, I think the fact that Mac was doing something productive and feeling good about herself in this scene is partly why I’d like for her to prepare my drink.
He just served a smoked martini that had begun promisingly, with gin and a dash of single malt Scotch – then apparently forgot what he was doing and added vermouth, and insult to injury, an olive, pimento intact, instead of a lemon twist.
I pull the drain on the filthy water, rummage beneath the bar for clean towels, wash my hands, grab a chilled glass and stir a perfectly proportioned smoked martini.
Do you have drink or some food to share from a recent read? Thanks for stopping by today, don’t forget to link up 🙂

Hehe! I think any girl would like a martini serves up by a hawt guy! Great post Lexxie! Looking forward to next Thursday!!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
uh, oh, it seems I wasn’t really clear in my post, Mac is a girl… But she’s bad-ass, and I love her anyway 😀
Thanks for stopping by Naomi.

This is cool. From now on I will have to try and make note of food or drink references in my books so I can participate. 🙂
I just figured that because I do sometimes notice food and drinks, it would be fun to have a special meme for it. Thanks for stopping by, Stormi.
I really had to dig deep – but I remembered one, for this very first Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts.
YAY, I can’t wait to see what you came up with, Marsha. Thanks for stopping by.

I don’t drink Martini’s however if he is as sexy as you say, he can make me whatever he wants 🙂
In a book I read from Maria Hall, The Mad hatter. She had cupcakes in it that I was dying to try the book was awful but I would have loved to taste the cupcakes she mentioned, I have to ask Berls because I think she actually posted recipes!
Great new feature Lexxie!
I wonder if I should change my post, because Mac is a girl…
Yum, I love cupcakes, Michelle! And recipes that actually make sense in a fiction novel are awesome.
Thanks for stopping by, Michelle.
The designer of the ‘magnificent banner’ *blushes* thinks the new feature looks and sounds great, Lexxie! 😀 I’m not really a drinker (you know that), so I’ll pass this time, but I’ll make sure to try some of the amazing stuff you and others are going to share 😉
Thank you, Silvia 🙂 You could ALWAYS write about something the characters are eating, though, or point out why you wouldn’t want a drink they had…
Have a terrific Thursday 😀
I really like this idea for a meme, it’s so original! From now on I’ll pay extra attention to books when food or drinks are mentioned so I can participate now and then in this meme :). I know I have had soem books were they mentioned really good or bad sounding foods, so it would be fun to talk about those books.
That’s awesome, Lola. I hope I’ll see you around next week 🙂 It is a fun way to get to know characters, and sometimes what they’re eating is pretty telling.
In a recent read, ehhh, blood ! I saw Dean Winchester drinking (or trying to) smoothies yesterday, does that count ? 😉
LOL yeah, I thought of vampires, zombies and the like for some *ew* moments, Iza. It actually depends on where you saw Dean Winchester trying to drink smoothies yesterday… if it was inside your house, I want proof!!… and if you post a gif it counts for sure 😉
Inside my house ? I would never let him go !!! Well, at least, I’d try 😉

Hmm, yeah I would love a martini served by a smexy guy. Great idea for the meme Lexxie.
Thanks, Kim! I often notice it when the characters eat or drink something that looks really good or really awful. I hope this meme will take off in the coming weeks 🙂 but at least I’m having fun with it myself 😀
This is a really cool idea! I’ll take note of this. Have you read books by Jenna Colgan? A lot of really enticing food in there!
I hope you’ll stop by, Goldie, I somehow always notice the food and drinks, they sometimes come at the same time as the sexytimes, so maybe that’s why 😉 I haven’t heard of Jenna Colgan yet, I need to check her out!
This is such a neat idea, Lexxie! I’m sitting here thinking of Hellfire, a drink served at Underworld – a bar from Eternal Mates series…not something I’d want to drink, I don’t think. But it sure was fun watching Loren’s reaction to it! 😉
Ooh, and in 95 days we can try out some of these drinks (in theory anyway – not made by Mac)…
*big hugs*
YAY! I have to search my kindle to find some from The Hollows, too, because there are some really good food and drink quotes in those books, too. I hope we won’t drink Hellfire in 95 days, Brandee, I’ll rather have a margarita 😉 *BIG HUGS*
