First Lines Friday//February 19, 2021

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!
  • 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

Book Review//Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Since starting my re-read of the Harry Potter series, the author (who I am not naming) has expressed certain views which I do not share. I am separating her views from reviewing these books. Her opinions are being held separately from my re-reading and reviewing of these books. I will never support anything else this author publishes, and I refuse to buy any Harry Potter products again — I am not going to give this author more money. This author doesn’t deserve any royalties from any Harry Potter licensed product or book.

Loving the Lines: The Lost Manuscript

I saw that Julie over at One More Book came up with a new post called Loving the Lines.

Basically, Loving the Lines is dedicated to books with stand-out quotes that need to be shared. I’m often moved by passages and lines from the books I read, and I thought this would be a great way to show the love!! Many thanks to all the wonderful writers who inspire, empower, entertain, and make people think.
