First Lines

Just got a stack of new books that look particularly good. Thought I'd tease you with their first lines. Would you check out these books just from reading their first sentence?

"On the day she was to die, Liyana walked out of her family's tent to see the dawn."
                                   Vessel by Sarah Beth Durst

"The rain poured down on London so hard it seemed that it was dancing spray, every raindrop contending with its fellows for supremacy in the air and waiting to splash down."
                                   Dodger by Terry Pratchett

"The two girls on the beach in their flowing gowns could have been mistake for water nymphs, if water nymphs wore gold-edged togas."
                                  Beneath the Glitter by Elle & Blair Fowler

"I will never forget the day my family got cut off from the Internet."
                                Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow

 "It looked set to become even hotter by the afternoon, just when the job was becoming more fiddly and needed extra concentration."
                               The Last Dragonslayer by Jasper Fforde

"Addie and I were born into the same body, our souls' ghostly figners entwined before we gasped our very first breath."
                               What's Left of Me by Kat Zhang

If you're interested in any of these, I will have them at the YA video game program tomorrow at 4:30 or you can put them on hold!

DFTBA,
Sti
