Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly book meme created by gingerreadslainey and hosted by Sam @ThoughtsOnTomes. You find out more about T5W and the weekly topics on the Goodreads group here.
This week’s topic is favorite first sentences!
Pretty self-explanatory. Favorite first sentences of a book.
I only cheated once, I used the first two sentences for one book, because it just didn’t sound complete without the second, and I love it too much not to include it.
Feel free to share your Top 5 Wednesday down in the comments, I’d love to see what quotes you picked!
Bookish Things and Tea 
I chose the first sentence from Throne of Glass for my T5W, too! I love that quote so much. 🙂

Daughter of Smoke and Bone ended up on my list too, I just love that opening 😀 And I haven’t read any Rick Riordan but I love that sentence!

It’s seriously such a good hook into the story! Riordan’s original PJO series have such a fun quirk to them, I definitely recommend them.

Oh, I remember when ToG came out. Before the author ruined it for me with love hexagons. I finished all three books in one night each. *sigh* Those were the days.

Yeah… I mean I mostly read them now for the beauty that is Aelin (not a big Rowan fan…) 😂

I already wanted to read Wolf by Wolf, but that great first sentence really makes me want to read it even more haha

Right? I still haven’t actually read it, but I couldn’t resist putting that sentence in.
