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: Ripper
Author: Amy Carol Reeves
Release date: April 8, 2012
“Damn.”
If the pickpocket had taken anything other than that I could have let it go.
Title: Seraphina
Author: Rachel Hartman
Release date: July 10, 2012
I remember being born.
Title: Shadowcry (Wintercraft #1)
Author: Jenna Burtenshaw
Release date: June 21, 2011
At the southern edge of a moonlit city, a woman stood over an open grave.
Title: Kat, Incorrigible
Author: Stephanie Burgis
Release date: April 5, 2011
I was twelve years of age when I chopped off my hair, dressed as a boy, and set off to save my family from impending ruin.
Title: Lost Girls
Author: Ann Kelley
Release date: July 10, 2012
It all began with my mother changing her mind.
So based on these first lines, which book do you think I should read next?
I have to say I’m most intrigued by Ripper.
I love the idea of this feature you started! I’ve never heard of any of these books but I would say SHADOWCRY
That’s a totally cool idea! I love it! Honestly the coolest is Kate Incorrigible. So that would be the winner if you picked my most intriguing. But I also really like The Rippers! Ooh-la-la!
I am going to say Shadowcry out of purely selfish reasons – I just won an ARC of the sequel but haven’t really heard much about the first book, so I wanna see what you think about it:P (If you like it I’ll be happy to pass on my ARC to you.)
Thanks for the offer, Nina, but I actually have the second book. That’s why I need to read this one. Lol. =)
I’m torn between Shadowcry and Lost Girls.
You know what? “Open grave”? My vote is on Shadowcry.
Enjoy!

I’m looking forward to reading Serephina. What an interesting first line. I’m definitely intrigued now.

Serephina caught my attention, but so did Kat Incorrigible.
Lost Girks- Ann Kelly
It starts right off the bat with a subject and truth. It’s also, not predictable. You don’t know anything at all so you have to find out more and get information.
Deffinetly not Sarafina & Kat, Inccorigible. They have obvious stories.
😉
Lost Girls OR Ripper
Those are all great! Ripper and Serephina are most intriguing, I’ll have to check them out.
By first lines I’d say KAT, INCORRIGIBLE but my own need for it says SERAPHINA.
sereaphina
I love the first line of Kat, Incorrigible! 😀
Oh based on the lines I’d have to say Kat, Incorrigible! That just intrigues the crap out of me!!!
They all sound great, but I would choose RIPPER.
hi shadow cry sounds good to me thanks joannie jscddmj[at]aol[dot]com
Seraphina is so dramatic, so I have to go with that.
Shadowcry sounds really good.
Seraphina’s first line sounds intriguing, my vote is for it.
What a fun feature! I enjoyed it!
Shadowcry! I don’t really like Seraphina.
The first line for Seraphina is a little odd. “I remember being born.” It’s so ominous. While I am looking forward to reading this book because it has dragons (yayyyyy), that first line actually is a little creepy. It’s sort of turning me off from the book a little…
Okay, now I have to read Ripper!
What did he take? Why is it important? All these questions show how awesome that line was 🙂
