First Lines Fridays: November 23, 2018

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

First Lines:

My mother did not tell me they were coming. Afterwards she said she did not want me to appear nervous.

Did the quote pique your interest? View this book on Goodreads!

 

What Are You Reading Wednesdays: November 21, 2018

What Are You Reading Wednesdays #WAYRW is a weekly feature on It’s A Reading Thing. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Grab the book you are currently reading and answer three questions:

  1. What’s the name of your current read?
  2. Go to page 34 in your book or 34% in your eBook and share a couple of sentences.
  3. Would you like to live in the world that exists within your book? Why or why not?

  1. They Never Came Back by Caroline B. Cooney
  2. Sixty teenagers pretended to head for their cars, but in fact, paused to watch and listen. Their slow-motion walk was eerie, as if choreographed.
  3. Sure as long as I get to be one of those rich Greenwich residents.
