Hosted by Well Read Reviews.
The first line can make or break a reader’s interest. Just how well did the author pull you in to the story with their first sentence? To participate in this weekly book meme is extremely easy.
- Grab the book you are currently reading and open to the first page.
- Write down the first sentence in the first paragraph.
- Create a blog post with this information. (Make sure to include the title & author of the book you are using. Even an ISBN helps!)
- Did this first sentence help draw you into the story? Why or why not?
On the first, I'm going to cheat and give you two lines:
Witch Child by Celia Rees
I am Mary. I am a witch.
Thirsty by M. T. Anderson
In the spring, there are vampires in the wind.
Sea Glass by Maria V. Snyder
Worry and dread clawed at my stomach.
