Introducing a new book blog meme: Friday Firsts

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?
  • Grab an image code:

  • Come back to this blog post, hosted on WellReadReviews.com and add your direct link to Mr. Linky!

That’s it :)

Here is my Friday Firsts: Worst Nightmares by Shane Briant (ISBN: 978-1-5931315-514-8)

“Your dream… tell me more, Miriam,” the Dream Healer cooed at his computer.

For me, I believe Shane Briant chose a nice sentence to get the ball rolling and have me continue to read more. It made me feel like it wasn’t going to be a slow start to this novel, and would get right into the creepiness.

**NOTE ** When I wrote this blog entry, a few days ago, I was still reading Worst Nightmares. I just finished it up last night.

    I like your new meme! First lines can really make or break a book, although I usually give them an entire paragraph to grab my interest. *L*
