Peeps:

What are some first lines in books you‘ve read that have been brilliant?
I‘m trying to come up with catchy quotes to pique student interest in reading but I am up against cell phones and social media here, so Jane Austen ain‘t cutting it.

Post your faves below!

BookmarkTavern I can‘t think of any right now, but scroll through the #FirstLineFridays tag! There‘s some awesome examples there! 2y

I hereby MUST double, triple, QUADRUPLE check books before reading bc I am tired of these cliffhangers, y‘all!!! This flew by and now I have to wait till Jan for the next book. Rude

brittanythebookdragon I had the hardest time getting into this book. It‘s still just hanging out because I put it down. Maybe I‘ll give it another shot given such a positive review. 2y

I‘m TRYING to not DNF this book, because I love this author, but holy guacamole I‘m so annoyed with the main character. Halfway through, and I‘m HOPING it improves

kplovesbooks Everyone keeps saying that but idk, I like her! I mean...she weird as hell, but still! 😂😂 I'm 76% through...things will take a very different turn soon if you keep going. 3y
Dcueto @kplovesbooks I‘m gonna trust you on this!! 😝😝 I guess I‘m at the point where I‘m like, I need you to make some better decisions. But let‘s see 3y

The last few times I read it, I hated it. Funny how books resonate differently at different seasons in our lives. Really enjoyed it this time

Ruthiella I‘ve only read it twice, but for sure my take on it changed from when I was in my 20s and when I was in my 50s. How I interpret Cathy and Heathcliff‘s relationship definitely changed. 3y

It was predictable, so if you‘re looking for suspense, this may not be it. That being said, I enjoyed how some of the characters evolved.
