Weekly Opening Lines – Sep 14th

By

on

Starting a new tradition in this blog, that is becoming more literary than ever.
Every Saturday morning, I’ll share the first lines (or better yet, the first paragraph or first round idea) of a book I’m currently reading.

Here’s the first line of West With the Night, by Beryl Markham:

“How is it possible to bring order out of memory? I should like to begin at the beginning, patently, like a weaver at his loom. I should like to say – this is the place to start, there can be no other. But there are a hundred places to start, for there are a hundred names.”

Join me in the trend, grab the nearest book, and share the first lines in the comments with us. Or share the first line of a book you’ve recently reviewed and link to the post!

    Happy Saturday!
    I’m currently reading Of Shadow and Gold by Michelle Griep. It is so good!
    “It felt wrong to leave like this, which was frustrating.”
    I hope you are having an excellent weekend so far. Happy reading! 🙂❤️📚

      That sounds interesting! Is it a thriller?
      Thanks for commenting and happy Saturday!

        It’s a Historical Romance, but it also a Suspense story. It’s so good!
