I am excited to post again this week with Top 5 Wednesday! T5W is a weekly meme is hosted by Sam @ThoughtsOnTomes.  You can visit the Goodreads T5W group for more info. I decided to pick an old topic for this week’s post. When I saw Favorite First Sentences, I knew I had to post about it!

I hope you enjoy some of my favorite first lines.

I love these quotes because they are varied and memorable and begin some of my favorite novels. I have put these quotes in no particular order.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone by J. K. Rowling

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis

A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

What are some of your favorite first lines in literature?
