I touched books. I smelled them. I read more first lines than I can count. (I am a sucker for a compelling first line. Thus the reason for this previous post).

That line drew me in because, in all honesty, who is balanced all of the time?! It made me laugh and I knew I was hooked! “No one’s ever accused me of being balanced.” -Ivy Schneider, Club Sandwich by Lisa Samson.

It was the worst of times..." "Call me Ishmael." I could go on forever, but for brevity's sake I'll stop! :) “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times…”

“Call me Ishmael.”

I wait for Henry." (The Time Traveler's Wife) is one of my favorite opening lines. It sets the tone of the whole book, as Claire spend her life doing just that. "It is a truth, universally acknowledged, that a man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." Jane Austen, Pride and Predjudice. I love that Jane Austen basically tipped the tables of the stigma of a woman unable to be happy with out a husband, and placed it on a man....such subtle humor, I love it!!!! “It’s hard being left behind.
