SO HOW DO YOU PLAY?
It'll be fun guessing in the comment section, but that might make it easy for the late commenters...so we're using Rafflecopter to choose the winners. There are multiple ways to earn extra chances. Copy the line or just use the FIRST LINE #, then tell everybody who you think wrote it.
GOOD MORING everybody !
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll enjoy guessing who wrote what.
Let the fun begin...
~Angi
Hey everyone! Join in the fun. Even I don't know ALL the matches--because I've only read about the half the books. Bad because I've only read half the books. Good because I have so many wonderful books waiting to be read!

ReplyDeleteGuesses are good.
Delete~Angi

ReplyDeleteWell, this looks like fun! These are some scorching good first lines.

~Angi
Pretty sure I was the first to get them right. I own many of these books
DeleteYou roc, Tammy, I'm impressed!
DeleteAwesome first line matching, Tammy! :)
DeleteWay to go Tammy.
ReplyDeleteLooks like she's is right about a lot of them because... I really have been checking them out on Amazon.
And I seriously love it.
DeleteI would have to charge my Kindle to see a lot of them...
~Angi
I was going to start looking these up but it looks like Tammy has them all. LOL I did another contest like this, but when you submitted your answers they didn't post for everyone to see. I think the author changed her blog setting so she'd get them.
ReplyDeleteMarcy Shuler
Did they match what you thought?
Delete~Angi
So much fun, but I did have to search. Chances are I messed up somewhere.
