Theme Thursday 28/07


Theme Thursdays is a fun weekly event hosted by Reading Between the Pages


This week’s theme is

ANY ACTION (go, walk, close, clap etc)

This one is perfect for my current book I'm reading as it's all about action. There's a lot of movement when you're trying to build schools in Pakistan! Excerpt from Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin


Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time


"Twaha strode seriously away and returned with a massive ash-colored animal with nobly curving horns. "Usually you have to drag a ram to make it move," Mortenson says. "But this was the village's number-one ram. It was so big that it was dragging Twaha, who was doing his best just to hold on as the animal led him to its own execution." (p143)

    It reads like the beginning of an action scene! Anyone else betting on the ram? ;-)
