Death Becomes, Well, Whomever You Choose – First Line Friday

First Line Friday

 

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for readers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, author, or prestige. We try to hook Readers by the first line, instead.

Psst, I found this in Becky’s Book Blog. Please go check her out!

Rules:

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be a current read, ARC, TBR, or favorite read (Hello, 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.

Death Is What Happens When You Aren’t Paying Attention

John Lennon DID not say that. I did.

Also, your first post back being a First Line Friday on an already published book is what happens to me when I’m on hiatus for two years.

 

First Line(s) Friday

So you’ve decided to commit murder.

Congratualations. Simply by purchasing this volume, you’ve already taken the all-imortant first step toward a successful homicide of which you can be proud, one that would gain you the admiration of your peers, were they ever to learn of it.

This book will see to it that they don’t.
