First Line Fridays is a new feature that I have come up with and it will hopefully become a weekly feature here at Katie’s Book Blog. It all depends on what you guys think of it!
For this feature I will pick 5 to 6 books that are on my to-be-read list and post the first couple lines. You guys will then vote on which book you think has the best first line. I will then read and review that book before the next Friday where I will post new first lines and so on. I think you guys get what I am trying to say. =)

I felt her fear before I heard her screams.
So based on these first lines, which book do you think I should read and review next?
Seems like a fun feature! I’m jealous you have Crossed. 🙂
-Meredith
Ah! You have CROSSED!
Anyway, its kinda hard to choose one based on the first line… but I loved POSSESSION and liked FORGOTTEN 🙂
This is a fun feature!
Based on the first line I’d say Forgotten. But if I were you I would drop everything and forget about the whole fun feature thing to just get started with Crossed!
I’d say it’s a tie between Vampire Academy and Possession. Talk about hooks!
I love this! So jealous you have crossed!
Tie between Vampire Academy and Forgotten!I read V.A. and loved it!
I think based on the first line, Forgotten wins my vote!
Forgotten or The Girl in the Steel Corset 🙂
fun feature!
I’m going to vote for Forgotten as well. 🙂 Fun new feature! I like it!
POSSESSION
Ooh! This is a great feature! Definitely Girl in the Steel Corset, with VA in a close second.
Possession, hands down. I would’ve said Vampire Academy but I have read and I wanna know how Possession is… Excellent feature idea!

Oh! I forgot to put what book you should read next! I’m going to go with Crossed or Forgotten. But, they all look like great reads!
I loved Possession’s opening line! <3
What a brilliant feature! Based solely on the first line, I vote for Possession 🙂
ooo, how nostalgic I am reading that Vampire Academy line.
I miss it <3
Based on first lines im gonna say Vampire Academy! but i’d love to hear your review of Possession (whose first line is also great) before I read it….so my vote is for Possession 🙂
Ooh! I LOVE this feature. I say read Forgotten =)!
You should definitely read Vampire Academy!! I read the whole series and loved it!!!!
I vote Crossed!
I love how the first line of Vampire Academy really captures Lissa and Rose’s link 🙂
