How are you all doing? How is working at home going?
Today I'm taking part in First Lines Friday. I love this one as you find lots of interesting first lines that make you want to read the book!This is run by Becky over at Becky's Book Blog.All you have to do is:
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!

Any ideas?
