First Sentences

This list is in No particular order.
I found it, lets say, insightful reading other peoples Top fives last week and I came to realize how tight the booktube and book Tumblr communities are.

So I just wanted to say thank you to those who do the same thing as I and to all you readers and followers of my Tumblr (True Bibliophile) and this blog. :)
