Can’t believe it’s Friday again and time for you to dig down deep into your memories to see if you can pull up the correct title for today’s opening line. I’m making no predictions of any sort about this one, since my track record in that regard has been less than stellar. But I hope you enjoy seeing another first line that made the top 100 lists several times. And I also hope this time, some of you guess correctly. Please take a look at the rules, then email me if you think you’ve got it. Feel free to take a guess.
As always, the rules are simple:
- Be one of the first five people to email me before the game ends at noon, with the title and author of the correct book.
- Do not reply here on the blog. Email only: marciameara16@gmail.com
- Honor System applies. No Googling, please.
- Submissions end at noon, or when I receive 5 correct answers, whichever comes first.
- Winners who live in the U.S. may request a free download of any one of my books for themselves, or for someone of their choice. OR, if they’ve read all of the offered books, they may request a free download of my next publication.
- Winners who live elsewhere may request a PDF or Mobi file of the same books, since Amazon won’t let me gift you from the site.
Now, without further ado, here is your #FirstLineFriday quiz of the week:
“When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.”
You can probably tell from this line that the book was NOT written in the 1800s. Other than that, I’m not going to divulge any clues. But good luck, everybody. I’d love to give away some books this week! 🙂
The Write Stuff 
Nope. Don’t recognize this one at all. But it does have me wondering where the story is going.

Sorry it doesn’t ring a bell, Jeanne, but it’s a good one, isn’t it? Makes you wonder what the third thing on the character’s mind is going to be. 🙂

Great opening line, Marcia. Don’t know the book, but this line is intriguing 😊

Then the quiz has achieved half of the goal–to make us stop and ponder some really good, intriguing ways to open a book. I love this one, too. Sorry you don’t know the answer, but I’ve discovered that overall, they apparently don’t always stick with us once we’re lost in the story. Interesting dynamic, I think. 🙂
