First Lines Friday: August 30, 2019

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

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!

Friday Favorites: Read in School

It’s officially been a week since I’ve used my new graphics and I am so in love with them! I feel like they match my aesthetic better than before, and they just seem cleaner. Thank you so much to everyone for giving me some comments and feedback on my graphics! I so appreciate the constructive and positive feedback! It helps me to figure out what I like or don’t like with my blog. I’m always tweaking it, after all.

So Kibby @ Something of the Book wants us to go back to our school days and tell you what we loved to read in school. Do I even remember that? I’ll figure out something.

[Tag] Song Shuffle Book Tag | Boricua Reads

I’m so glad I found Boricua Reads because she created this super fun tag that I just had to try! I may actually do this more than once, honestly.

Here are the rules to the book tag:

Put your playlist or music library on shuffle.
You must build a book list (can be read or in your TBR) out of the words in the title of the song that comes up.
Song must have more than two words in the title.
You can use more than one song if you so want.
If you can’t find a book in your shelves with one of the song title’s words, you can choose a book that has a letter starting with that word or the word can sound similar/be part of the one in the song title.
Then, proceed to talk about the books in the list, your thoughts or opinions on it and whether it’s on your TBR or you’ve already read it.
