First Lines Friday

What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

Step 1: Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
Step 2: Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
Step 3: Finally… reveal the book!


“Death arrived at twilight. The little girl was down by the river picking jerriberries with her younger brother, their father crouched at the icy water’s edge replenishing his supply of aloeweed.”
