My Favourite Openings/First Lines:
“Joost had two problems: the moon and his mustache.”
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Interesting problems Joost, what’s next?

The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
This sentence just lets you know that you’re in for a hilarious and amazing series.
“It has been sixty-four years since the president and the Consortium identified love as a disease, and forty-three since the scientists perfected a cure.”
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Doesn’t that just make you want to know what’s going to happen? I’m intrigued (and I’ve read the series before.)

Scythe by Neal Shusterman
Intriguing, no?
