First Lines Fridays: May 31, 2019

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:

They called the world beyond the walls of the Pod “the Death Shop.” A million ways to die out there.

Update: Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi

Just finished Under the Never Sky, the first book I decided to read from my 34 library books I checked out.

Granted I read about 50 pages of Daughter of Smoke & Bone first before I found out that Maria and I could read that one together and she suggested I read this one first since she had finished it recently and was on the final book of it’s trilogy. (Good suggestion Mar like holy hell I loved this book.)

Also I basically started this book, got 10 chapters in, and had to stop because it was too dark even for me to read. Then started again at first light of course.

Not even sure what I was trying to say with this post, except that I went to the library yesterday for the first time in years and I haven’t done much besides read and talk about books since.

Time for book 2: Through the Ever Night!
