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.
Whoops
You were too many days old when you realized the answer to a very simple question.
First Line(s) Friday
I wasn’t born a monster.
As a child I had no bloodlust, no desire to manipulate or control. No dream of immortality. I wanted to survive the long winters. I wanted my mother back.
