First Lines Friday 27

One of the issues I had last week was that I hadn’t read, but I’m happy to report that I only have one left outside of this one because that's the whole point. Next month, there should be KIKI’s Readathon and Readathin, but I haven’t seen any announcements yet. They both have a similar aim, … Continue reading First Lines Friday 27 →

I have a confession: I haven’t read the books from the last two posts I’m talking about, Dirty Play by Violet Paige and The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History by Elizabeth Kolber. I need to read the last one for sure since it’s this month’s climate book club pick, but I had planned one of … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 25 →

I feel guilty because I want to do more blogging and more in the book communities, but my hands aren't cooperating. Tonight I have to choose between checking my emails and submitting the books for the readathon, which, for some reason, makes me feel a lot of responsibility. First Lines Friday is a weekly feature … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 24 →

You know what my number one bookish issue is right now? I’m devouring any thriller I come across; the main reason is that I’m looking for a 5-star book, and they are rare in this genre for me. This might sound native, but I was like a kid in the candy store when I found … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 23 →

My reading is questionable, and yeah, if anyone cares, I have started the Kristin Hannah books with The Great Alone. It’s not going as I hoped. I finished it, and I have a better feel for Home Front, but we will see; the issue is that I’m a character-driven reader, not a plot reader. I … Continue reading First Lines Fridays 22 →

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 →
