My Favorite Opening Lines in Books
Hey, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I am sharing some of my favorite opening lines from books I’ve read. Well, more like opening paragraphs. Most of the books I’m listing have the first two or so paragraphs. Still, they have the same role. First lines (and paragraphs) are one of the most important parts of writing a book. They’re the first things readers see and can influence a person’s interest. There are a lot of first lines that I’ve read but these stick out more than the rest. They’re very memorable. The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan Look, I didn’t want…

8 Overlooked Books I Think Everyone Should Read
Hello, everyone! I hope you’re all doing well. Today I have a list of books I think everyone should read. Some of these books are aimed at younger kids, around middle grade (or even younger), but they have strong and powerful meanings behind them. They’re good lessons for anyone, regardless of age. Now, these books aren’t necessarily underrated or not popular (though some of them are) but I think they’re not as appreciated for the lessons they can teach people. They’re overlooked in that aspect. So without further ado, let’s get started! The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly ~ Rebecca K.S. Ansari For a book published nearly two years ago,…

Review: The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly by Rebecca K.S. Ansari
The Missing Piece of Charlie O’Reilly Author: Rebecca K.S. AnsariGenre: Fantasy, Mystery, Middle GradeSeries: None Synopsis: “Charlie O’Reilly is an only child. Which is why it makes everyone uncomfortable when he talks about his brother. Liam, his eight-year-old kid brother, who, up until a year ago, slept in the bunk above Charlie, took pride in being as annoying as possible, and was the only person who could make Charlie laugh until it hurt. Then came the morning when the bunk, and Liam, disappeared forever. No one even remembers him—not Charlie’s mother, who has been lost in her own troubles; and not Charlie’s father, who is gone frequently on business trips.…
