First Lines Friday | 03.18.2022

Posted on March 18, 2022March 18, 2022 by Stacia @ Stories On These Walls

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?

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!
