First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for readers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, readers were hooked on a book by the first lines?
Psst I found this at Becky’s Book Blog. Please go check her out!
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be a current read, ARC, TBR, favorite read, close your eyes and pick a book) 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
My life is a carefully constructed lie.Even now as my sister and I prepare to slip into the darkness of the the tunnel network that runs beneath our city, each movement we make must remain cloakd by magic. Everything we say, everything we do, is designed to mislead and persuade that we’re exactly like the people we live amongst.If we’re found out, we’ll be executed.
Ok! Are you ready?
Would Rose Lie???!
