#FirstandLast

So many times we over look the first and last lines of books. These lines are the most important. One draws us in and the other concludes what we been reading from that first line. It is crazy to think those two sentences can be so important in deciding whether someone loves or hates a novel.
After considering this, I decided to add this aspect to my #BookTalks. Also I decided to use this concept to talk about books I haven't read recently. By giving these lines, I hope it sparks something in your reading mind about maybe picking it up and read the book. So I am going to give the first and last sentences of some of my favorite books.

White Cat by Holly Black

First Line: I wake up barefoot, standing on cold slate tiles.
Last Line: Marks forget that whenever something’s too good to be true, that’s because it’s a con.

Burning Bridges by Nadege Richards

First Line: I knew, without a shadow of a doubt, I was going to die tonight.
Last Line: Stay alive.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare

First Line: The fog was thick, muffling sound and sight.
Last Line: "I have come to be trained as a Shadowhunter."

Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

First Line: The newborn wailed as the midwife wrapped her in a receiving blanket and quickly handed her to Sister Ruth.
Last Line: Deal me in.

Switched by Amanda Hocking

First Line: A few things made that day stand out more than any other: it was my sixth birthday, and my mother was wielding a knife.
Last Line: Everything was so new to her, and the beauty and wonder of it all struck her deeply.

Vesper by Jeff Sampson

First Line: I was halfway out my bedroom window when my cell rang.
Last Line: "There is much we should discuss."

Enclave by Ann Aguirre

Fist Line: I was born during the second holocaust
Last Line: But whatever came, Thimble knew they could endure it. Together.







I hope one of these books catches your fancy!

Happy Reading
