1. Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
2. Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
3. Finally… reveal the book!

I’ve had this particular book out from the library for a little while now… Hopefully this post urges me to actually get around to reading it.

I scan the room, searching for familiar faces—-anyone in my department at Moorehead Media who I know well enough to strike up a mental conversation with.

Hi friends, and Happy weekend! If you didn’t know, today is Friday, and pheeewwwwww I am so ready to jump into bed for the weekend and forget about all my troubles. Dive into a good book and relax.

The particular book I’m mentioning today is a book that I’ve wanted to read…..I think for a few years now. Maybe even back in my tumblr days… Let’s get on with it so you can get to reading your book and/or enjoying your weekend faster! xD

….

The calming echo of a holy chant filtered down from the sanctuary and into the cellars. It was late afternoon, just before Vespers, a time where psalms to the gods were given up in an effortless chorus.

OK so more than one sentence, but o m g how could I not include the entire snippet?!

Hello friends, welcome back to Adele Is Reading!

Today’s post is another First Lines Fridays! I’m trying not to post these every week, just because I for sure know that I’d run out of books to take from.

Today’s author is one that I’ve read from in the past, and I actually loved one of their early series, back when I was around 14-years-old! 13 years ago now, wow. Time flies.

I have to.

I’ve been fighting it all night. I’m going to lose. My battle is as futile as a woman feeling the first pangs of labor and deciding it’s an inconvenient time to give birth. Nature wins out. It always does.

Hello friends! Welcome back to Adele Is Reading! Today on the blog we’ve got a First Lines Fridays post.

Today’s novel is a book that I’m actually pretty excited for! I love the author’s works. I wish I had more of their books in my possession truthfully.

It was me who took the order. It could have been anyone. I don’t know why I feel guilty. But it was me.

Hello friends! How has the week treated you?

Today’s post is a quick little post wherein I’ll be sharing the first sentence of a book with you, of which I haven’t read yet.

I can’t breathe. The trees are a blur of colors, the greens, browns, and reds tumbling and writhing together as I whip my head searching. I can’t see them, but I know they’re out there. Just like I know something’s wrong.

Hello hello friends! Welcome to today’s post: a First Lines Fridays.

The first in over a year, haha. my FLF posts are short in nature, so let’s dive into it! This weeks first sentence is going to contain a little more than one sentence, since there’s quite a bit to the sentence, but not enough (especially for FLF posts!).

An ax swings at my head.

The dull training weapon may not be enough to decapitate me, but I know all too well the sharp sting of metal on skin.

I duck.

Hello, hello, hello friends! So I haven’t posted a First Lines Fridays in about a month (give or take a few days). But I’m so happy to be doing this one! This book is one I’ve been wanting to read for more than a year and a half. Onto the sentence!

Hello friends! Today I’ve got my first (!) First Lines Fridays post of 2020!!

‘I had three brothers once.’

This book is a story that I’ve been waiting for the right time to read. However, I genuinely think that this book is a book that you just have to sit down to read it, once you have a copy in front of you.

No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream.
