Happy Friday! It's time for First Line Friday, hosted by Hoarding Books.
It's time to grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line. Today on First Line Friday, I'm featuring a book from one of my many TBR piles, Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I have a number of friends who love this book and have tried to get me to read it for years. Well, it's finally getting close to the top of one of my piles.😊
And the first line is ...
The screw through Cinder's ankle had rusted, the engraved cross marks worn to a mangled circle.
About the book...
Cinder, a gifted mechanic in New Beijing, is also a cyborg. She's reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's sudden illness. But when life becomes entwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she finds herself at the center of a violent struggle between the desires of an evil queen and a dangerous temptation.
Cinder is caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal. Now she must uncover secrets about her mysterious past in order to protect Earth's future.
This is not the fairy tale you remember. But it's one you won't forget.
Let me know the first line of the book closest to you and then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating.

Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from The Bright Unknown by Elizabeth Byler Younts. Oh my word is this book amazing!!! Currently, I am reading Once Upon a Christmas: Contemporary Retellings of Timeless Tales. It's a really fun Christmas collection of novellas. I'll share a line from that book here.
"Being escorted out of the firm by building security wasn't on his to-do list, but he could write it in later ... and cross it off."
LOL! This book is filled with sweet and sassy stories. I am loving it so far.
Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!
Nicole, I've heard great things about it.
ReplyDeleteOh, I loved "The Bright Unknown"!
The Christmas book sounds fun. I'll have to check that out.
Happy reading. Have a great weekend!
Today I'm sharing the first lines from The Words Between Us by Erin Bartels: "Mostly people only die once. But my father is not most people. He is a monster." Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
