Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #94
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’m sharing a Hungry Hearts quote from Archangel’s Heart by Nalini Singh. The Guild Hunter series is one of my favorite series, and the latest instalment was filled with adventure, tension, love and mystery. In the following quote, Elena and some other angels have left the Luminata stronghold in Morocco to go to a nearby village to get a change of scenery.
At first, all they did was walk through the market, looking at various things. When Elena spotted a short, skinny man cooking some type of filled bun, she wandered over to the card he’d parked in front of a closed shopfront. Hot and with a touch of spice, the scent had her stomach rumbling, her mouth watering. “Two,” she said to the cook, who’d gone as motionless as a deer who’d spotted a wolf.
Nodding jerkily, he prepared two buns with expert hands, then half wrapped them in greaseproof paper, providing an easy way to hold the hot items as they ate. Elena dug into her pocket an placed enough local currency on the counter to cover the cost – the night before her and Raphael’s dawn departure form New York, she’d rung Sara and asked if the Guild could convert some dollars for her, she knew it held a small amount of all types of currencies.
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.

Somehow, I can almost smell those goodies, all hot and spicy! I love the scent of delicious food, and this does sound wonderful. Thanks for sharing (and hosting).

I really loved this book. Reading it has really made me want to go to Morocco. It has not really been on my radar before. Not because I don’t think its interesting, but because there are other places that were higher on my list. I tend to be more interested in wildlife and nature, so places like Africa and Australia are high on my list. But history is big too. So Egypt, Rome too. This did peak my interest in Morocco.
