How is your week going? Are you ready for Halloween? Do you dress up at all or do you not celebrate it? This year we are going trick or treating and passing out candy. I hope all of you that do celebrate it have a safe Halloween!
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!
“She was born breech, in the deep of the night. The midwife, Martha, had to seize her by the ankles and drag her from the womb. She slipped out easy, dropped limp into Martha’s arms, and lay still as stone.”
Can you guess what book it is?
Did you guess right? And I don’t know why I picked books with births in their first paragraphs for the past two weeks! LOL that is totally coincidental! 🤦🏻♀️ I just read this one and it’s dark and witchy! Have you read it?
