Theme Thursdays é uma rubrica semanal, que funciona de quinta a quinta, organizada pela kavyen do blog Reading between Pages.
- Um tema será colocado online todas as semanas (à quinta)
- Pegar no livro que estamos a ler e escolher uma conversa/fragmento/frase
- Mencionar o autor e o título do livro no post
- É importante que o tema seja mencionado na frase (embora esta não tenha, necessariamente, de conter a palavra)
O tema desta semana é - ÁRVORES
