let's judge books based off their first paragraph! also, sorry, I accidentally say "chapter" in place of "paragraph" in the video too many times to count... but you get the idea

πŸ“šThe Quick to Judge Challenge:
1. Pick 5-10 books from your unread stacks. (avoid sequels)
2. Read the first paragraph of every book.
3. Rank the books based on the first paragraphs/opening lines.
4. Add your highest ranked book to an upcoming TBR.
5. Invite others to do this tag.

** I would like to formally tag @marginsofmarisa and @KimReadsandReviews
