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
Friday, March 6th:Reporter: (standing at the edge of a winding street with a large white stucco building behind her): Good morning, this is Liz Rosen with Channel Seven News, reporting live from Bayview High, where students are reeling from the loss of one of their classmates yesterday. It is the second tragic teenage death in the past eighteen months for this small town, and the mood outside the school is one of shocked deja vu.
Ok! Are you ready?
Truth or Dare?
