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 donโt give anything else about the book away just yet โ you need to hook the reader first
- Finallyโฆ reveal the book!
If youโre sharing on social media, donโt forget to use #FirstLinesFridays!
Hello, reader!
It’s Friday the 13th (ooOOooOO) and also time for First Lines Friday! I thought about featuring a spooky book to go with the spooky day, but I’m taking the opportunity to feature one of my current reads instead. Why? Because I’m having such a good time with it! It pulled me in quickly and it has been an incredible ride thus far.
Time to see if the first lines can pull you in, as well!
The Line(s):
“‘Hadrian could see little in the darkness, but he could hear them – the snapping of twigs, the crush of leaves, and the brush of grass. There were more than one, more than three, and they were closing in.”
