Theme Thursdays -- Furniture -- The 100-Year-Old Secret by Tracy Barrett

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 Thursdays)
• 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 – FURNITURE.

The pub seemed like a cross between a bar and a restaurant.  There were small wooden tables all over, and a lot of people stood or sat at the bar, eating lunch.  The ones who weren't talking were watching soccer on the large TV.  A rushed-looking waitress waved them to a table, and when she had a chance to come over to them, she seemed pleased that they already knew what they wanted.

A very fun book my almost seven-year-old and I are reading.  Xena and Xander Holmes are siblings who've just learned they are Sherlock Holmes' descendants and are asked to solve his unsolved cases.  The first in a series.
