Opening Lines and a contest!

Tweet

Time for a little fun today. We always hear that opening lines are important. So, I thought we should have a little opening line contest. Here are a few opening lines from some classic books - do you recognize them?

1. "It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen." 
2. "Mother died today."
3. "There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it."
4. "It was a pleasure to burn."
5. "There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife."

And one more just for fun - 

• "There are so many things I could’ve remembered about that night."

And now, the fun part...leave a comment listing the names or authors of as many of the quotes as you can. I will randomly draw a name on Friday and award a prize. What prize you ask? How about a copy of Blood Red Road, yes? YES!

So leave a comment, see how many of the opening lines you can guess and you could win!
