Hello all! Yup, I’m still here with the quote challenge, talking about my favourite first lines. Here are the rules:
Rules
- Thank the person who nominated you
- Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day)
- Nominate three new bloggers each day
Although evidently, I’m breaking the rules since this is day four…
Thank you so much to the marvellous Misty @Misty’s Book Space for tagging me- I love her awesome mix of book reviews, memes and tags. She reads so widely and has such great taste- it’s always fun to see what she’s reading next! Highly recommend you check her out!
I don’t know if this book gets the attention it truly deserves these days- but the Secret Countess *gives me life* (as the kids say 😉 ) when it comes to romances/historical fiction/fairytale-esque stories… There’s so much to love about it and this first line captures the mood of the story and, believe me, it doesn’t let you go for the rest of it.
I tag:
Kelly, Geronimo Reads and the Geeky Contralto
So have you read this book? Share the love in the comments if you have!
I haven’t read the book, but this first line definitely has me intrigued!

Lol, don’t they always say: rules are meant to be broken? 😂😂
Besides these posts have really been a lot of fun so far, so I don’t mind you breaking the rules at all 😀
