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

NUMBERS

"People in fairy tales wish for that all the time." the genie said. "They aren't stupid. It just isn't in the records because I can't grant that type of wish."
"Well," Wetzie said, a little perturbed, "if this is my trip I think at least you could say I could have one of these wishes come true!"
"You get three wishes," the genie said.
"I wish for a Duck for Dirk, and My Secret Agent Lover Man for me, and a beautiful little house for us to live in happily ever after."
"Your wishes are granted. Mostly,"said the genie..."
