Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #148
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 Thirsty Thursday quote is from The Schemer by Avery Flynn. It’s from Everly’s gallery opening night, and the wine makes an appearance more than once 😉
My Thirsty Thursday quote:
“Is everything all right?” he asked, ready to reach for his wallet if necessary. “Well,” Helen said, her dissatisfaction obvious in the pinched look to her mouth. “The wine is horrible, but it always is at events like this.”
[…]
He waved his hand, gesturing to the gallery now empty except for two waiters picking up the very last of the trash and giving Helene a wide berth, before turning to face her. “If you still spent most of your days maneuvering your sons into doing what you wanted them to do, then you wouldn’t be here with bad wine and good art.”
“Great art,” Everly corrected, her voice strong and sure behind him.

bad wine makes art better than good sometimes.
LOL, that was exactly it, Ailyn! The owner figured she couldn’t hand out great wine – then people would just become drunk and not pay attention to the art 🙂
I just noticed it says a hot romantic comedy on the cover. Hmm yes please! 😀
Plus, hot romantic comedy is exactly what it delivers, too 😉 This whole series is great!

In Australia I think it’s to avoid ppl getting drunk and make unnecessary changes to nice art.

Ew, horrible wine. I can only imagine how this could go… plus the combination of art involved…
I’m scared now. O_O
The book sounds good but I am not liking that dude’s facial expression for some reason lol. Bad wine gives me the worst headache. Happy reading!
Sorry I forgot to link up last week, darling. :/ It sounds like there’s a little animosity between these two? But life’s too short to drink bad wine! Or read bad books! LOL
Love you!! <3
