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!

Happy First Lines Friday! The book I’ve decided to feature today is one I just picked up at the library. It’s one I’ve been eager to read for ages and I’m glad I had the chance to snag a copy. It’s a non-fiction about a topic I’ve always found fascinating, though tragic.

The first line will most definitely give it away, but it certainly has me ready to dive in!
