✨ THE RULES: ✨
The idea behind the #WouldYouReadItChallenge is first impressions of a book based on the opening line. Would you read this book based on the first sentence?
- Pick a selection of books (can be a specific genre, age range, one from each shelf, etc)
- Read the first sentence of each book aloud or display it onscreen. Do not describe the plot.
- At the end of the video, share which books' opening lines intrigued or entertained you the most, and ask your viewers the same!
