Bookish come up with a subject and I will try to find 10 results combined with that weeks topic.
This weeks topic was not really that simple for me. If a first line is catchy I will settle myself and start reading but to say that I remember that one book with that catchy sentence or that surprising or poetic end is something different. So I had to go and check some of the books that gave me that feeling while looking at them and I managed to gather some of these beginnings and two ends.
It begins with absence and desire-The beginning and the end of A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness-
It begins with blood and frea
It begins with a discovery of witches

It was night again. The Waystone Inn lay in silence, and it was a silence of three parts.-The beginning of The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss-
And they each take a key: and lock opposite ends of the chest-The end of The Rose Labyrinth by Titiana Hardie-
The Circus arrives without warning-The beginning of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern-

My friend just finished A Discovery of Witches and loved it. Now after reading those two quotes, I can't wait to borrow the book from her!
ReplyThose sentences would certainly inspire me to continue reading.
ReplyI like that one from The Shadow of the Wind! Rebecca by Du Maurier's opening line is also a favourite!
