First Line

[Stacy]

I'm copying this idea from another group I'm in - can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it's something to do with adults that like to read YA books.

The general premise is to post the first line of the book you're currently reading. I thought it was a really cool idea and wanted to implement it here.

[Stacy]

So, to kick it off....

"I'm a cat behaviorist." - Cat Daddy: What the World's Most Incorrigible Cat Taught Me About Life, Love, and Coming Clean - Jackson Galaxy

[Stacy]

"It's a money pit, Carrie." - Room For Love - Sophie Pembroke

[Bianca]

"You came!" Big Boned

Started this book just now and love it already! This series is hilarious. :)

That series is AWESOME! One of those that I wish I could read for the first time all over again. And that I wish they would make a movie or TV series out of. :)

Haha yes I feel the same way! I LOVE Meg Cabot. Other than YA, I believe she only has three series...Queen of Babble (which I read and loved), Heather Wells (currently loving) and The Boy (or something like that). Which is so sad because I want more!!!

[Stacy]

She has another one that has to do with vampires....I'm a wuss when it comes to those so I won't read them. And The Boy....I didn't like that one so much. :/

[Stacy]

If there's one thing that interests no one, it's someone's life. - Mademoiselle: Coco Chanel and the Pulse of History

[Bianca]

Dang, Stacy, either you're a really fast reader or you're reading a bunch of books at the same time. :)

[Stacy]

LOL, usually two at once. And I was almost done with the Jackson Galaxy one when I started this thread, and more than halfway through the Sophie Pembroke book. Started a new book this morning to replace the one I finished last night, and I'll have to start another one soon because I just finished the other book on my lunch. :)

[Stacy]

Started another book last night....

"You have five minutes of this life left." - Paradigm

[Suzanne]

Here's the first line of the book I just finished. Stacy - I saw this book is on your to-read list and I think you'd really like it! :) The Kindle version is only $2.99 right now!

"If my phone buzzed one more time, I was going to pull it out of my backpack and hurl it at the linoleum."

Cool! Thanks, Suzanne!!

[Stacy]

Ok, starting a new one. I just couldn't do the Coco Chanel biography. The author crammed so much other stuff about what was going on during whatever time period she was talking about that it got boring for me. I'm not a fan of history and I don't want to read, in detail, about the different things that were going on in France at the time Coco Chanel was a pre-teen. Too many other books on my to read list to suffer through all of that.

So, with that, here's the first line of my new book, "On the first day of September, the world went dark." - The Geography of You and Me

[Kourtney]

"Do you generally use alcohol or drugs more than once a week?" - All Fall Down by Jennifer Weiner

[Stacy]

LOL, GREAT first line. :)

[Stacy]

I, Alicia Isabelle Kingston, am miserable. - A Minor Indiscretion - Carole Mattews

[Stacy]

I take a deep breath and stare out at the sea of faces. - Out to Lunch by Stacey Ballis

[Kourtney]

WELCOME TO LONDON - Fodor's London 2014

(Time to plan my trip!)

LOL, good book to read. :)

[Kourtney]

"There's a certain type of Englishman who has a way of standing out in an American crowd, even though he would be appalled to know it." - The Anglophile

(Noticing a pattern!? I am now!!!)

[Stacy]

LOL! I have had that book on my TBR list FOR-EVER!!!

[Kourtney]

Me too! What prompted me to pull it out and read it was to try to get some excitement over my trip again. This book is crazy! I'm glad I waited until now to read it though because it makes a lot more sense now that Scott has opened up the British world to me.

She's never been outside the US - I've never either! Her first trip will be to London - hey me too! And the British character, Kit, reminds me a lot of Scott (even though he's Scottish)...craziness! Good story so far though, and I really miss RDI!!

LOL! It's been a while since I read a RDI book, that's why I decided to start the Carole Matthews book. :)

[Stacy]

I just realized I've been forgetting to do this! I've read a few books since the last first line I posted..that's disappointing.

Ok, so here we go....

"Once upon a time, there were three happy girls, all born into charmed, sunshiny, shampoo-commercial lives."
Driving with the Top Down - Beth Harbison

"I'd like to say that the first time I cuddled my newborn baby daughter, on 14 September 1983, was a moment that will live with me always, but it wasn't nearly as straightforward as that."
Amy, My Daughter by Mitch Winehouse (Interesting to learn that Amy Winehouse was born the day after I turned four, and the day that my brother turned eight.)

[Bianca]

"Rob Waters proposed to me three months after I slept with him." - Never Google Heartbreak

[Stacy]

LOL, I've been forgetting to do this again!

[Bianca]

Stacy wrote: "LOL, I've been forgetting to do this again!"

Haha me too! I saw the board just now as I was looking for the Good Book Recommendations one, and I figured I'd post. :)

[Stacy]

I should probably add in the book I'm reading on my iPad right now....

"The hours of Walker and Daughter: Knitters were clearly displayed in multicolored letters on a white sandwich board placed just so at the top of the stair landing."
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs

Finally, I am getting to this book after it has been on my list forEVER!

[Kourtney]

Wow I've had that on my shelf for the longest time as well!

[Stacy]

It's actually pretty good so far, IMO. *shrugs*

Ok, starting another one today, on my phone. :)

"Hi there." Revenge Of The Wedding Planner by Sharon Owens

[Stacy]

"This can't be true." Wedding Season by Darcy Cosper

I gave up on Revenge of the Wedding Planner about halfway through. The MC was super annoying.

Forgot to listen for the first line of Sweet Little Lies by Lauren Conrad. It's an audiobook.

[Stacy]

Why can I never remember to do this?

"Malachi the Magnificent, Consultant to the Stars, had a storefront in a dingy, rundown strip mall between a sketchy looking Laundromat and a closed up nail salon with a big, bring orange health department sticker plastered on its door." Body & Soul by Stacey Kade

"Today I punched Ranice James in the face." Since You've Been Gone by Mary Jennifer Payne

"It's not too late," I said, waving the sheaf of paper in front of my sister's face. Game Changer - Beth Orsoff

[Bianca]

Stacy, did you like Friday Night Knitting Club? I read it ages ago and really want to read the second book, but I don't really remember the first. I'm wondering if I should go back to reread it or just read the second. I do know that I loved it when I read it!

[Stacy]

I really liked both. I don't think you'll need to re-read the first one before you get into the second one. There's enough discussion in the second one that will trigger your memory for what happened in the first.

I'm hoping to get to the third one soon.

[Bianca]

Stacy, good to know! I guess I'll just pick up the second one then and start reading.



SPOILER ALERT FOR THE FRIDAY NIGHT KNITTING CLUB:




The only thing I can remember is that the main lady died. Right when her former lover wanted her back? Or something? That's all I remember because I know I cried a lot at the end.

Yep, I was balling when I got to the end of that book.

I need to read that! I have a book from the library that I"m trying to finish right now though.

Stacy, did you finish Shopaholic to the Stars? I feel like I saw it pop up on my news feed that you were reading it.

I'm so close to being done. I haven't had much time to read it except at lunch while I'm at work. And since my lunches are back to being only half an hour, I can't read as much then either. :( But I do really like my job and the company I work for.

If anyone's company is in need of a third party administrator for their benefits, let me know, I'll give you some contact information. ;)

[Suzanne]

I'm reading Shopaholic to the Stars right now, but I haven't had much time to read either. I like it so far!

[Stacy]

I really liked it. Can't wait for the next one!! :)

Just finished the last PLL book. I'm really sad that it's over. But it was really good!!

[Julie]

Is it only for YA books, or can I post the first line of any book I'm reading?

[Dawn]

Hey Ladies,
I know I have been totally MIA but I wanted to wish you all Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I promise to be back involved in 2015. Love and miss you all I hope all is ok with everyone.
