Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event that will be open from one thursday to the next. Anyone can participate in it. The rules are simple:
- A theme will be posted each week (on Thursday’s)
- Select a conversation/snippet/sentence from the current book you are reading
- Mention the author and the title of the book along with your post
- It is important that the theme is conveyed in the sentence (you don’t necessarily need to have the word)
Ex: If the theme is KISS; your sentence can have “They kissed so gently” or “Their lips touched each other” or “The smooch was so passionate”
This will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.
This week’s theme is
LOCATION (reference to the location where the story is happening)
Honestly I thought this would be an easy one, but I struggled with finding an apt snippet. Finally after a lot of hanging around I found this. If you have just as much trouble as I did, just find any location – a doctor’s office, a park, a room, anything would work fine.
My THURSDAY THEME for LOCATION is here.
She inhaled deeply and knocked on the door of the large, two-story, wood-frame house. Nestled among other old Tarpon Springs, Florida, mansions, the Papadopoulos family home overlooked the Anclote River’s Spring Bayou.

Those who’ve seen the movie ‘The King’s Speech’ may be surprised at my choice of location from the book: http://abigailannreading.blogspot.com/2011/08/theme-thursday-location.html

O very descriptive. Being from Florida, I can almost imagine it.
That is a lovely-sounding setting! Thanks for sharing.

I thought this theme was going to be a little tricky – but not so! Love it when that happens 🙂

Mine was early in the book so it was easy to find:

Yeah, I can definitely see why this one would be hard. It was fairly easy for me, but this book does a good job of constantly pointing out where it takes place., Whether it was tough or not, that was an awesome snippet! Kudos!

You found an excellent example of location. I mapped mine out here
The one I’m reading takes place at Oxford, so there’s a mention of one of the colleges…I think, lol. It’s a location of some kind I guess, hahaha.
