Pick a Word and Pass It On | BOOK TAG
I wasn’t tagged by anyone, but I saw Kristin from @kristinkravesbooks do this and thought it looked like so much fun! This tag was created by @Life Has a Funny Way Of Sneaking Upon You. Make sure you go check out both of their blogs!
Here are the rules:
1. You can either take the word the person who tagged you used, or you can pick your own.
2. You must list all the books on your read list which include that word in either the title or the author.
3. Tag some friends and pass it on! Continue reading
First Lines Fridays #15
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!

“Miracles do not belong to religions. Miracles belong to the desperate, which is why every religion, every philosophy, and most importantly, every fairy tale always has a moment of salvation, a eureka, an enlightenment. We are all chasing and chasing tails, running and running in circles, until a wolf or the witch or the stepmother jumps out and trips us, and we fall flat, splat, and we lie bare and bleeding and breathless and finally, finally look and see whatever it is—salvation or eureka or enlightenment or a hunter or prince or a glass slipper—in front of us. And that’s what miracles are. Not solutions, but catalysts. Not answers, but chances.”
