Hello all! We’re coming to the end of my favourite first lines edition of the quote challenge- I so hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I’ve enjoyed making it! As always, 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
Thank you so much to the wonderful Sarah @Art Expedition for tagging me! I’ve talked about Sarah on this blog before- BECAUSE SHE’S SO BRILLIANT! Seriously, as you’ll see from her blog, she’s super talented and thoughtful in her posts. I just love her blog and can’t recommend it enough!
It’s been a while since I’ve read The Book Thief– because *wow* that book punches you in the gut- but I can’t forget being pulled into the story by this intriguing opening… and slowly realising who the narrator is.
I tag:
Beth, Melting Pots and Other Calamities and Jill Jemmett
Have you read this? Do you love it as much as I do? Let me know in the comments!

I love this quote! I will be sad to not see these daily ☹️ but I’m sure there will be something new. I really enjoy your post.

I have yet to read this book. I think it’s been on my TBR for a while now… Hmm… You mention that it’s a gut-punching book. Should I be in a certain type of reading mood when I pick this up??

Thanks so much for the tag, and I love the quote you picked. The Book Thief is an all-time favourite of mine and while it’s normally the last lines that had the most lasting impact on me I kind of forgot before reading this post how much of a punch the first lines packed too. 🙂
Great pick for this day. 😀 ❤

I still need to read this book! I just need to accept the fact that I will cry, and get to it. (Yes, not wanting to cry is why I haven’t read it yet.)

Have you seen the movie adaptation of this book? If anything, the movie made me want to check out the book more since it felt like it didn’t exactly convey everything that people raved about regarding the book hahah

Not yet- I’ve been meaning too, but I’m also a little scared it won’t live upto the book. Sounds great though!
