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: Ladies In Waiting
Author: Laura L. Sullivan
Release date: May 8, 2012
Eliza Parsloe, age fifteen, tickled her chin with her plumed pen and gazed levelly at her latest opponent, Lord Ayelsworth, second Earl of Lambert.
The clock says 6:45, even though it’s 6:25.
Title: Enchanted
Author: Alethea Kontis
Release date: May 8, 2012
My name is Sunday Woodcutter, and I am doomed to a happy life.
I should probably start with the blood.
Title: Wrecked
Author: Anna Davies
Release date: May 1, 2012
In many ways, Whym Island is like any of the hundreds of tiny islands dotting the South Carolina coast.
So based on these first lines, which book do you think I should read next?
Enchanted!! I really enjoyed that one. If you love a good fairy-tale retelling, you’ll like it.
omg. i dont even think it’s a choice. Book of blood and shadow!
I’m torn between ENCHANTED and THE BOOK OF BLOOD AND SHADOW. Both are fabulous, but it depends on the mood you’re in…
Based on first line alone, I’d say The Book of Blood and Shadow. Based on my reading of three of the five books you have posted? Well, I’d still say The Book of Blood and Shadow. I hope you enjoy it!
Breaking Beautiful was really good!:)
I’d love to hear your thoughts on The Book of Blood and Shadow! =)
I vote for The Book of Blood and Shadow because I LOVED it! 😀
I think Enchanted, but The Book of Blood and Shadow had a pretty awesome first line too.
The Book of Blood and Shadow. one of Robin Wasserman’s best books ever. 🙂
I vote Enchanted!
Love this feature! I really want to read Breaking Beautiful, so I’m tempted to take that one, but just from the first sentence, Enchanted and The Book of Blood and Shadow sound best 🙂
I vote The Book of Blood and Shadow, cause that first line is highly exciting!!
Ladies In Waiting! Love the first line!
Enchanted! It’s got me hooked already 😀

Breaking beautiful! that first line definitely wants me to read more!!!
Ladies In Waiting !
I’m a little bit biased, because the summary (and book trailer) sound completely awesome as it is, but my vote’s on The Book of Blood and Shadow. =D

I think you should read Ladies in Waiting 🙂
forgot to mention this is such an awesome post. Can I do it as a meme or something on my blog?

Based solely on the first line, I’d say either Blood and Shadow or Enchanted. Awesome feature by the way!
Enchanted! It sounds awesome! Enjoy whatever you choose to start 😀
Wow, these are some great first liners! I’d say Enchanted based on the first line.
I vote Breaking Beautiful. I’ve read the book and I loved it.
Blood and Shadow has a wicked first line!
I love the idea of this feature, Katie! I might have to borrow it some time, if that’s okay with you, of course. Based on the first line, I would have to choose either Book of Blood and Shadow or Breaking Beautiful. But because I’ve heard some pretty bad things about Blood and Shadow, I’d go with Breaking Beautiful!

I’m torn between Enchanted and The Book of Blood and Shadow! I would read either of them, but maybe based on only the first line I would go for the last one. But the cover + the first line of Enchanted made me really wanna read that too!
Breaking Beautiful looks awesome! I LOVE how one red show is on the bridge and the other is by the water. Enchanted also looks great.
Woops! I was voting for Breaking Beautiful
The Book of Blood and Shadow. – best line ever!
It’s definitely a toss between Enchanted and The Book of Blood and Shadow. Both of those sentences make me want to read more!
Oh wow. Love Enchanted’s first line!!
Now I know why you got hooked, if the rest is as awesome 🙂
