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!

It’s another First Lines Friday and, this time, I’ve picked a book club book that I’m pretty excited about reading! It’s a mystery that has a full cast audiobook and, full disclouser, I’ve already started reading this.

The first line certainly grabbed my attention, so let’s see if it can do the same for you!
