Theme Thursday - Any Action

Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event that is hosted by Reading between Pages. It 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 ANY ACTION (ex: go, walk, close, clap, etc.)

    We just had a downpour, and if I were to go for a sprint across my yard, I would be kicking up mud also. Fun action words.

    Great choice! Although she looks too pretty to be sprinting through rain and kicking up mud!

    Sounds like one of those "feisty" Romance heroines. ;-) Makes me think how often it is they (rather than the typically "active" heroes) who are responsible for a lot of the action in their books.
