Want to learn how to write a good first line? Read a few hundred of them! In this video, I read and rate the first lines from 200 books on my shelves. You might get inspiration for your own first-line or you might hear a line you love and add a dozen books to your TBR!

The genres covered range from contemporary to fantasy, middle grade to adult, biography to historical fiction.

Comment YOUR favourite first line below! Do you agree with my ratings of the first lines in this video?
