Welcome to another day of bookish delight, as we celebrate two events.
Theme Thursdays, hosted by Reading Between Pages, is all about finding themes in the books we read and enjoying the writing styles of the authors we explore.
Booking Through Thursday is like a conversation amongst bloggers in response to a prompt issued each week.
Come on by and join in the fun!
Theme Thursdays:
Our themes will give us a wonderful opportunity to explore and understand different writing styles and descriptive approaches adopted by authors.
The theme for this week is
TIME , Clock, Hours, Minutes, Seconds

Today’s snippet comes from What I Did For Love, by Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
How did this happen? Georgie York, once the costar of America’s favorite television sitcom, has been publicly abandoned by her famous husband, her film career has tanked, her father is driving her crazy, and her public image as a spunky heroine is taking a serious beating.
What should a down-on-her-luck actress do? Not go to Vegas . . . not run into her detestable former costar, dreamboat-from-hell Bramwell Shepard . . . and not get caught up in an ugly incident that leads to a calamitous elopement. Before she knows it, Georgie has a fake marriage, a fake husband, and maybe (or not) a fake sex life.
***
Snippet: Bram had spent eight miserable years rescuing Georgie from thorny situations, but his days of playing gallant Skip Scofield to Georgie’s spunky Scooter Brown were long behind him.

Booking Through Thursday:
Prompt:
Two questions about your reading habits that just seem to go together.
GigiAnn asks:
Do you have a favorite season of the year that you read more? (Example: during snow storms, rainy weather, or sunny and warm weather) Sorry, that was the best I could come up with.
Lisa asks:
Where is your favorite place to read? On the beach? Inside/outside?
***
I like to read in all seasons, but I must admit that there is nothing quite as cozy as curled up on a sofa under an afghan, with cups of hot liquid nearby.
Unless, of course, it’s on a sunny deck facing the ocean and hearing the lapping of waves nearby.
There you go…reading goes with all seasons for me!
As for where I prefer reading, I guess I’d say indoors, unless it’s beautiful out…like in the aforementioned beach scene. I also enjoy having lunch at an outdoor cafe (in nice weather) with a book as my companion.
What about the rest of you? Inquiring minds want to know!
SNOW SPARKS 
Looking over my reading for each month it looks like I like each season, but I do have my favorite seasons for reading, and my favorite place to read.

It’s great to curl up with a book, the season doesn’t really matter.

I have a little bit of problem on reading by the ocean – too bright. Or at least that’s how I find oceans near me. But of course the ocean is such a good place to read with all the fresh oxygen going into the reader’s brain.

Yes, the light might be an issue…under an umbrella would work, though. Thanks for stopping by, Hazel.
