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? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:
- 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!
If you’re sharing on social media, don’t forget to use #FirstLinesFridays!
Hello, reader!
The end of the work week is here! I’m particularly excited for the weekend because I’m heading to a concert with the family. It’s also almost my birthday week 🥳 For now, though, it’s time for another First Lines Friday! I’m featuring a book that I picked up on a whim because I saw it on Kindle Unlimited and a friend recently read and loved it. I figured, why not give it a go?
Now let’s see if the first few lines might draw you in.
The Line(s):
“‘I’ve arrived in London without incident.
There are few triumphs in my recent life, but I count this as one. My existence of the last three years has been nothing but incident.”
