Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #114

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 Hungry Hearts quote is from Silver Silence by Nalini Singh, and it’s a quite long quote. So good though, because it tells so much about Silver and how she functions. And it also showed a lot about Valentin’s personality.

Shifting priorities, she lifted the lid off the covered tray. No nutrition bars or nutrient drinks, but she recognized the flatbread as one she’d eaten during a long work session in another region. It was created of lentils and was deeply nutritious while not overwhelming her taste buds. Alongside sat a bowl of what appeared to be a dip. She tore the flatbread into small pieces, used it to try the dip. Not a strong taste, but it appeared nutritious. And if Valentin had wanted her permanently incapacitated, all he would’ve had to do was leave her on the floor of her apartment. The deliberately obdurate bear had also been sending her unexpected and inexplicable gifts of food for months. Whenever she asked him to stop, he grinned and pretended he had no idea of the identity of her “Anonymous admirer with the exceptional taste in food.” All the while, they both knew he was responsible for the red velvet cake, the flavored nutrition bars, the individually wrapped nashi pears, the gourmet dinners delivered hot from a restaurant close to her office, and more. The last cake, a dark raspberry, had been accompanied by a card that named her admirer […]



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.

  1. I can’t wait to read this one. Silver has been such a great sidekick for Kaleb and now has her own chance. Just need to read Allegiance of Honor then I’ll be on this one.

    Fun quote. Love that he’s playing with her and courting her with food.

    • I know, right? That and books would be the very best way to seduce me, for sure… Not that I need a secret admirer, of course, but it would be nice if my husband got me some amazing food, or books instead of perfume 😉
