24 Hour Read-A-Thon Goals

Most importantly, I’m hoping to finish the book I’m currently reading: Paper Valentine by Brenna Yovanoff. After that I plan to read Orfe by Cynthia Voigt, and it would be really cool if I could finish that too, but I won’t get my heart set on that since Paper Valentine has been slow going.

If I get stuck during PV or Orfe, I’ve also got a couple other books I’m currently working on, Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell and The Truth About Forever by Sarah Dessen, which I can read a bit on as a palette cleanser.

Wish me luck!

First Lines Fridays: September 21, 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:

Addie and I were born into the same body, our souls’ ghostly fingers entwined before we gasped our very first breath.

Ahhh, the Greeks
dead longer than America has even existed
and still invading our lives with their myths.
