  2. I posted the wrong link at first, so my apologies. This is my second time doing Friday Firsts and I hope to make it a weekly ritual. And my twitter name is Midnghtbookgirl, because it wouldn’t let me add one lousy extra letter.

    I think that’s a great first line. It has specific details, hints at conflict and sets a tone. Ooh_Books
