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 Juneteenth, y’all! I spent the day working which, frankly, how dare my job? (I make the schedule… I did this to myself, lol) But now it’s time to relax and enjoy the rest of the day. That means it’s time for another First Lines Friday post! The book I’m featuring is a library pick that I’m hoping to read very soon.

Reading the first line made me even more eager to give it a read! Let’s see what it does for you.
