Weekly Opening Lines – Sep 28th

By

on

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 are the first lines of Braving the Wilderness, by Brené Brown:

“When I start writing, I inevitably feel myself swallowed by fear. And it’s especially true when I notice that findings for my research are going to challenge long-held beliefs or ideas. When this happens, it doesn’t take long before I start thinking: who am I to say this?”

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!
