Weekly Wrap Up: August 11, 2019

So I’m low key trying to convince my birthday twin (who is also my roommate) to start a BookTube channel with me because we are funny as hell and he also reads. Unlike my darling husband, who so far has only read the Percy Jackson series (he liked those) and the first Red Rising book (he liked that a lot too) and doesn’t read as much.

I won’t say that I’m shaming him because I’m not, but it would be nice if he would read with me too. Or at least read in general so we can talk about the books we are reading. Oh well! We will see what happens! Help me convince him, friends!

First Line Fridays: August 9, 2019

August 9, 2019August 8, 2019 by Leelynn @ Sometimes Leelynn Reads ♥ 15 Comments

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!
