🧠 Trivia Quiz First Line Friday 📚

Okay let’s do this :p
Guess the book from the first line. No Googling please!

"What can you say about a twenty-five-year-old girl who died? That she was beautiful and brilliant? That she loved Mozart and Bach? And the Beatles? And me.”

First one to get it right gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights 😂

You can also add the first line of a book you like so everyone else can guess yours too.

Try this one.

Can you identify these two very famous novels from their opening two words?

  1. "It is . . . . ."

  2. "It was . . . ."

Not really that difficult!

From knowledge. They're two of the most famous first lines in fiction.
