Friday Firsts

I like new things! New books, new activities, new everythings. And so I’m very happy to inform you all that there’s a new weekly meme around. Yep, that’s right, a new one!
Wendy over at We Read is hosting her very own new meme called FRIDAY FIRSTS. So go on over and check it out.

Favourite Firsts: Do you have one or many? Share one of your favourites. with us. Why do you love it, remember it or feel connected to it.
I really wanted to past my response to this last Friday when it came out but, unfortunately, I’m not very good at these things. Mostly because I hate to make decisions of this kind but also because I couldn’t think of any this week. But I’ve been thinking since and come up with two of my favourites – knowing full well that I will think of a hundred more once I hit post.
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife."
Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen
Yeah, I know, everyone picks this one, but as soon as anyone talks about first lines, this is the one that springs to mind first.
"All children, except one, grow up."
Peter Pan – J.M. Barrie
Can’t pass up Peter Pan. And what a perfect opening.
