First Lines Fridays 21

So I asked ChatGPT to recommend a thriller, and it suggested The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. I wonder how it picked that one, because something tells me it wasn’t as random as I'd hoped. Anyway, it’s a novel I have been wanting to read, so I did. I wanted it to be twisted, as … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 21 →

My reading plan is out the window: *window* is a hint at the book I picked for today. Now, it could have a window on the cover or as part of the title. I feel that most people who love the thriller genre have read this. I was going to do The Woman in Cabin … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 20 →

First Lines Fridays 19

I don’t know what the author was thinking while writing my current read because I’m 78% in, and the whole book they did one single thing (have sex). I will keep reading since I’m curious if they will move from that room in the end. I will make a wheel with random words and pick … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 19 →

This should be my wrap-up, but as is my brand currently, I’m late and behind on posts. I'll have time next month since I think I’m doing poetry month, which will free up some time for my to-do list. I figured this would be an easier post to do, sorry. Weird reading fact is that … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 18 →

First Lines Fridays 17

First Lines Friday is a weekly feature for book lovers that was formerly hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 17 →

I’m worried about the blog storage space, but it will have to wait for now since I don’t have a solution yet, apart from deleting posts, which I don’t want to do. Maybe this is a question for ChatGPT to answer. For today, I have two books in mind, so doing a random spin of … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 16 →

First Lines Fridays 15

There are two things that both readers and writers have in common: the love of words, and when we start a story, we don’t really don’t know where it will take us. That’s my rant for today. I was going to do a list of trans rep books I wanted to read, but as a … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 15 →

First Lines Fridays 14

First things first, a bit of a book rant, there’s a book I was so excited about when I found out about it, but I can’t get past the 20-page mark and still understand what is going on, and I have restarted four times, so I think it’s time to remove it from my TBR. … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 14 →

First Lines Fridays 12

The plan I had for thrillers didn’t work, but I’m keeping them because I know I want to read them at some point. In fact, I grabbed another one that I found on Amazon, and I believe it is self-published for the simple reason that it is badly formatted, or however you say it. I … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 12 →

First Lines Fridays 11

So I was going to talk about Perfect Peace by Daniel Black, but running late, so I had to change. I looked up 100 must-read LGBTI+ books, and I picked one. I feel pretty dumb about it since when I looked it up on Goodreads, it is marked as a classic, so a lot of … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 11 →
