First Lines Fridays & The Friday 56 ~ 7/19/19

Ali here ~

Happy Friday!! I hope you all have had a great week!

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!


The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice and asks you to turn to page 56 (or 56% in your e reader) of your book (any book) and share a sentence or two that doesn’t have spoilers.

First line:

My godmother lived in a handsome house in the clean and ancient town of Bretton.

56%:

Amidst the strange scene, with a chilly wind blowing in my face, and midnight-clouds dropping rain above my head; with two rude rowers for companions, whose insane oaths still tortured my ear, I asked myself if I was wretched or terrified.

I’m on a mission to finish this book soon. Hopefully before the end of next week.
Happy Reading,

Ali
