Bookbugworld where book lovers devour

First Line Fridays | 18 July 2025

First Line Fridays is a weekly book meme hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

The Housemaid | BY Freida McFadden

If you’re looking for a fast-paced, entertaining thriller, The Housemaid is a good pick. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s gripping and keeps you curious.

When the Moon Hatched | By Sarah A Parker

I enjoyed When the Moon Hatched despite its slow pacing and unresolved threads. It feels like many pieces are poised at the edge of a chessboard, ready to make their next move.

Not in My Book | By Katie Holt

Not in My Book is a passionate, steamy love story between two authors. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, give it a go. It’s worth it.

Well Matched | By Jen DeLuca

The highlight of Well Matched was definitely the banter and chemistry between the leads. They lit up every scene they were in together.

The Hustler Next Door | By K A Tucker

The Hustler Next Door is an easy and entertaining read. If you’ve already started the series and just want to revisit Polson Falls, this one’s worth a shot.

Dating Dr. Dil | By Nisha Sharma

Dating Dr. Dil was a flawed desi romance, but still a quick and entertaining read. The ensemble cast was entertaining, and it was fun to revisit familiar characters.
