#24in48 #fantasticfirstlines #Hour12 #firstlines

This is one my current reads and the first line kind of sets the tone.

“When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured by mature people that maturity would cure this itch. “

“My mother was raised on fairytales, but I was raised on highways” 💫🛣

The opening sentence has me sufficiently intrigued.

"I stand here ironing, and what you asked me moves tormented back and forth with the iron." #24in48 #FantasticFirstLines I decided to break up my reading today with a few short stories sprinkled in between, and this also doubles as a #ThrowbackReadathon !❤️

Not too shabby, Anne Fadiman. 🍷❤️#hour12challenge #fantasticfirstlines I am really hoping to dig into this one over the next few hours...🤞 that my kids are a bit more amenable to that than they have been so far this morning! 😆

The top line is the most memorable first line I‘ve read lately from Gillian Flynn‘s The Grownup and below is from the tagged book and it had the most intriguing first line from my readathon stack. @24in48
