Hello all! Welcome back to my quote challenge post! In case you haven’t noticed, I’m doing it on a “favourite first lines” theme. And as with a lot of tags, there are rules to break:
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
Thank you so much to the lovely Anna @My Bookish Dream! I’m so excited to share Anna’s dreamy blog today (see what I did there 😉 ) I love her fantastic wrap up and reviews- she’s such a great voice on the blogosphere that I know you’ll fall for her style as much as I have! Go check her out!
I’ve talked a lot about classics in these first line posts- but not enough about my other love: fantasy. Laini Taylor is, for me, the pinnacle of what I love about the genre. And this line captures everything, everything I love. It tells you the concept, captures the mood and hints at the lyrical style. Basically, I adore it.
I tag:
Jay, a Novel Glimpse and Bibi’s Book Blog
Have you read the Daughter of Smoke and Bones? Let’s fangirl over it in the comments!
I love that photo. Thanks for the tag today. 🙂

This is a really cool quote. I read and loved the first 2/3 of this book. The end of it threw me and was not my thing, but I can still appreciate how this quote foreshadowed all of it.

Whoa! That’s the first line? Color me intrigued. I must say, it’s the book covers that have made me not to want to pick up the series.
