Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #50
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, I bring you a sweet meal from David Levithan’s Another Day:
My Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote:
I take the plates, napkins, and silverware from one of the trays and set the table that isn’t a table. When I’m done, A serves – some of everything for each of us. As we sit across from each other, we comment on the food – it’s all turned out better than it has any reason to be. The sauce on the pasta primavera tastes like a spice I can’t quite identify – I ask A what it is , and he doesn’t remember. He thinks I might have put it in. I don’t remember, either. It was all just part of the improvisation.
There’s a carafe of water on one of the trays, and that’s all we need. We could have wine. We could have vodka. We could have Cherry Cokes. It would all be the same. We’re drunk on candlelight, intoxicated by air. the food is our music. The walls are our warmth.

Thanks for stopping by today, I look forward to reading your Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts quote. Have a terrific Thursday and don’t forget to link up.
Nice excerpt! Thanks for sharing…and the reminder of Cherry Cokes takes me back.
Thank Laurel-Rain! I’m not a fan of Cherry Cokes, myself…
I love this line “We’re drunk on candlelight, intoxicated by air. the food is our music. The walls are our warmth.”
Me, too, Felicia! That is just gorgeous, and it made me feel all the feels 🙂
I love the same lines Felicia does 🙂 Great quote ! I don’t know if it’s because romances are mostly written by women, but food and drinks are mentioned all the time, lol
Actually, this isn’t exactly a romance, and it’s written by a man, Iza 😉 I love this quote, though.
Oh those last couple of lines are magical!! I really need to read more od David Levithan!
I absolutely love his prose, Grace! And I agree those last few lines are beautiful!

I would adore a few nights like this!
Me too, Xxertz! It sounds both magical and beautiful, don’t you think?
I agree with everyone else. Those last couple lines are awesome. I read David Levithan years ago. I think it might be time to read more of his books 🙂
Oh, you should read more of his books! I’ve only just started reading him, and I’m loving it 🙂
Wow, that sets quite the scene, Lexxie. You can tell how into each other they are – nothing can impose on what they’re feeling. I hope you enjoyed Another Day. 🙂
Sounds like a romantic meal! I’d feel good about that too! Awesome tease.
