I learned about this site from JLSHall's blog, A Little Reading. It is hosted by Rose City Reader and the idea is to share the first line of whatever you are reading. I have been looking for a new meme to participate in and this looks like something fun.
So, my excerpt comes from "The Bungalow Mystery", Nancy Drew, #3. I have been reading the Nancy Drew series for a children's challenge I have been participating in this year and I have been enjoying it a great deal -- much more than I did as a child when I tried to read them.
So, my sentence goes like this --
"Look at those black storm clouds!" Nancy Drew pointed out to her friend, Helen Corning, who was seated beside her in the bow of the small red motorboat."
Nothing like impending danger to lead into a story! How can you not read on.
I am reading this on my Nook Simple Touch which I am finding to be a good thing and a not so good thing but that is another blog entry.

I loved Nancy Drew! Haven't read any of them since I was a pre-teen, though. I should pull out some of my copies and do a little re-reading. I think my favorite was The Hidden Staircase, but I loved all the ones I read.
