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 Friday to you! I hope this end to the traditional work week finds you well. It finds me relaxing because I have to work this weekend 😅 But still! It’s a lovely day and it’s time for another First Lines Friday! I didn’t have a particular book I wanted to share with you today, so I grabbed a random book off of my physical TBR to feature. This is a book that was raved about last year and I’ve been curious to check it out. It’s outside my comfort zone… but sometimes those end up being favorites!

Now, let’s see if the first line can entice me into picking it up sooner.
