First Line Friday!

I thought I'd start and end my week with simple posts. Monday is Snap Shot Monday showing the cover. And we'll end the week with First Line Friday.

In this I'll just share the first line in any book near me. It could be the book I'm currently reading, a book I've finished or a book I haven't read before. 

I've never read a Stink or Judy Moody book, so I'm reading this one:

The First Line:
Bump! Thwump! "Ghost!" Judy yelped, bolting away from a crash on the roof.

What a fun way to start the story and hook younger readers in!

Today's Book: The Eleventh Plague by Jeff Hirsch
"I was sitting at the edge of the clearing, trying not to stare at the body on the ground in front of me."

Sounds very interesting!! I've wanted to read this book but just haven't yet.  Have you read it?

This week's book: In Cold Blood by Truman Capote

The village of Holcomb stands on the high wheat plains of western Kansas, a lonesome area that other Kansans call "out there."

Ok I'll admit that's not a very exciting start to an otherwise interesting book!
