First Lines Friday – 23 October

October 23, 2020October 23, 2020 Dini @ dinipandareads6 Comments

Happy Friday book lovers! We’re back with another First Lines Friday, a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Here are the rules:

Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) 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!

First lines:

“Elsie could just barely hear the toll of Big Ben in the distance. Four o’clock. A decent enough time for breaking the law.”

A few months ago I was nominated by Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog for the Sunshine Blogger Award! If you haven’t already, I’d recommend checking out her blog because she writes some great reviews and has some really fun posts and recommendations lists that always have me saying “Yaas!” every time I read them! Thanks for nominating me, Becky 💜 Sorry its taken me an age to get to this… I’m terrible! 😅
