New Books

I thought an interesting way to promote new books would be to share some of the first lines. Authors want to hook a reader quickly and so the first line of a book can be very important. Here are some from books that are new to the Library:

I stare down at my shoes, watching as a fine layer of ash settles on the worn leather.

Mommy forgot to warn the new babysitter about the basement.

The best time to talk to ghosts is just before the sun comes up.

For the record: I did not mean to send my two half sisters to the emergency room.

Hugo's lying in the sand
A bit of starlight in his hand
His fingers open, out it pours
The ocean sighs, the ocean roars.

The first time the black motorcycle followed Ann on her way to school was a Wednesday in early May.


Are you intrigued? Do you want to know the titles of these books? Try sending some guesses. If you guess right, you can be the first to sign it out.
