First Lines Fridays (92) – May 31, 2024

First Lines Fridays is 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?

  • 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!

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Was Super Excited to Get My Hands on but Still Haven’t Read

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is Top Ten Books I Was Super Excited to Get My Hands on but Still Haven’t Read. This list could be so much longer than ten. lol. I have so many books that I’m dying to read. It often leads to decision paralysis, which means I ultimately pick up even more books because getting something new is the only way to break through being stuck on what to get from my shelves. Without further ado, here are ten books that I rushed to add to my shelves only to have them languish there indefinitely. The covers link to Goodreads in case any of them catch your eye!
