Sometimes you can just tell if the story is good based on that, isn't it? :) Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03967837585961009598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-1390408511914514772016-07-04T14:36:37.854-07:002016-07-04T14:36:37.854-07:00Those are my top choices, too.

Makes a nice combination if I decide to read them both. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-65352828857284551232016-07-04T14:34:13.974-07:002016-07-04T14:34:13.974-07:00First sentences can make or break a book for me; n...First sentences can make or break a book for me; nothing beats a really good one. I love Nellie Bly, too.

I keep track of first sentences and post them all at the end of the year, but this is more fun. :-) I love a first sentence that grabs me right away.<br /><br />Eighty Days would get my vote of all of these. I actually started to read that one once, but got distracted and never got back to it.
