First Line Friday is a feature created by me, where I post five first lines from some books that I have on my TBR pile. You guys then get to vote, based on the first lines, for the book that I will read next! =)
Title: Fire
Author: Kristin Cashore
Release date: October 6, 2009
Larch often thought that if it had not been for his newborn son, he never would have survived his wife Mikra’s death.
I used to think our town, buried in the South Carolina backwoods, stuck in the muddy bottom of the Santee River valley, was the middle of nowhere. A place where nothing ever happened and nothing would ever change.
Title: The Future Of Us
Author: Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler
Release date: November 21, 2011
In 1996 less than half of all American high school students had ever used the internet.
Facebook would not be invented until several years in the future.
Emma & Josh are about to log on to their futures.
Okay, so it’s true. I can time-travel. But it’s not as exciting as it sounds.
Title: Under The Never Sky
Author: Veronica Rossi
Release date: January 3, 2012
They called the world beyond the walls of the Pod “the Death Shop.” A million ways to die out there. Aria never thought she’d get so close.
So based on these first lines which book would you like me to read and review next?
TEMPESTTTTTTTTTTT
I’ve read Tempest, but I am going to place my vote for The Future of Us. I’m totally curious about that teaser!
I can’t help you there. But if I had to pick one, it would be one of the last three choices! I think this time you gave us too many choices to choose from. Hahas…good luck!
Oooh, Under the Never Sky sounds really awesome. That’s my vote! 🙂
Tempest! that first line made me smile =D
– juhina
I vote for either Tempest(which I enjoyed) or Under The Never Sky (which sounds interesting).
I would vote for Tempest. Sounds good to me.
I vote for The Future of Us. I think the whole idea of exploring the facebook non plugged in past/future intertwining thing sounds really interesting.
Beautiful Darkness — That first line is captivating!
Under the Never Sky! I love that first line and really wish I had that book right now so I could read it 😉
I’ve read Tempest and Fire… and like them both. My brother thought Future of Us was boring, so I didn’t even bother, lol. So… all? 😛
Under the Never Sky
Wow. I’ve read several of those, and I’m slightly biased in what I think you should read.
I want to grab you by the shoulders, shake you, and scream at you to read Fire.
But my vote for best line is actually on the two books I haven’t read: Tempest, and Under the Never Sky.
I say Fire, but I’ve only read two of these lol
I liked the sound of Tempest. That is my vote. 🙂
I didn’t see “Yesterday’s Gone” by Sean Platt and David Wright, so, as a native of SC (shhhh, DON’T tell anyone!), I vote for Beautiful Darkness 🙂
My vote would be for The Future of Us but since you are reading Graceling, you should read Fire next.
I think Tempest’s first line is pretty awesome!
Tempest is interesting and hilarious!
Under the never sky but they all sound great!
I love this meme! I haven’t read any of these, but all of their first lines have me intrigued. I would vote Tempest though 🙂
My vote goes for Tempest. Sounds really interesting and the first line made me smile 🙂
Jackson’s attitude in Tempest shines from the very first line.
And you gotta love Ethan Wate from Beautiful Darkness – that was an awesome book. Loved all the new characters introduced there.
