Blogger Meme: Friday Firsts

:!: I try to tweet about all participants, so don’t forget to include your Twitter username if you want to be notified of your tweet mention! :!:

The first line can make or break a reader’s interest. Just how well did the author pull you in to the story with their first sentence? To participate in this weekly book meme is extremely easy.

  • Grab the book you are currently reading and open to the first page.
  • Write down the first sentence in the first paragraph.
  • Create a blog post with this information. (Make sure to include the title & author of the book you are using. Even an ISBN helps!)
  • Did this first sentence help draw you into the story? Why or why not?
  • Link back to Well-Read Reviews in your blog entry.
  • Come back to this blog post, hosted on WellReadReviews.com and add your direct link to Mr. Linky! ** Very important!

That’s it :)

Here is my Friday Firsts: Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (ISBN: 978-0-545-12326-6) 390 pages.

I remember lying in the snow, a small red spot of warm going cold, surrounded by wolves.

The first sentence created a visual. I imagined blood – or maybe I just imagined the cover which shows a spot of red blood in the snow. Although it wasn’t the most “bring me into the story” sentence, luckily the book itself is very easy to get pulled into and an entertaining read!

Synopsis: (Taken from Amazon.com)

For years, Grace has watched the wolves in the woods behind her house. One yellow-eyed wolf–her wolf–is a chilling presence she can’t seem to live without. Meanwhile, Sam has lived two lives: In winter, the frozen woods, the protection of the pack, and the silent company of a fearless girl. In summer, a few precious months of being human . . . until the cold makes him shift back again.Now, Grace meets a yellow-eyed boy whose familiarity takes her breath away. It’s her wolf. It has to be. But as winter nears, Sam must fight to stay human–or risk losing himself, and Grace, forever.
Graphic: Thank you to Tara for the graphics! (And Cara for suggesting that she make some!)

    Now that I have some time ;) , I’m back to comment. It sounds really interesting–I have seen the book around but I didn’t know what it was about. The first line isn’t really calling to me, but the book synopsis has caught my interest.
