“It was
the best of times, it was the worst of times…”

single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” —Jane
Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1813)

Sorcerer’s Stone (1997)
Welcome
to
First
Line Friday!
Here's how it works:
We'll post the first lines from three books, some written by us, some by author friends.
Then you will all be asked to vote for your favorite, without knowing who wrote it or what book it comes from-- until Saturday!
On Saturday, the lines along with their book cover, blurb and author will be listed so you can check them out!
ALL voters, no matter who you choose or which line wins, will be entered into a drawing for a $10 Amazon gift certificate.
Easy and fun, for all of us! We hope you'll play along!
And now, here's First Line Friday!
1. “You’re not getting here until Saturday? What kind of
best man rocks up the day before the groom’s wedding?”
2. Blissful people made Pete Toleffson want to puke.
3. “My
hands are full, stick it in my mouth."
Okay... make your choice! List
your favorite by number or by quoting the line in the comments! All votes
up until midnight will be counted. And don't forget to check back
tomorrow to see who wrote which line and how to check out the rest of the
books!

It is so predictable, but i vote for #3. the reason, it's funny. and i believe the subject is food. a high degree of intimacy is implied as well as humor. as an opening line, you are commanded to read on, just to see what is going into the mouth,

I love the snark of #2, but I'm going to pick #1 because it sounds like a fun read.

3. “My hands are full, stick it in my mouth."

It has to be number 3; I'm European-- double entendres are a way of life :)
