Much has been said about the power of a book's opening line. BingeBooks allows you to peek at more than just the opening line - we specialize in offering the ability to "binge" on opening chapters until you find a style and story that appeals to you.
Here are some opening lines from books that have taken over TikTok. See which appeal to you and click on the ebook icons to read a longer excerpt.
My name is Jen Webster, and I am a team member, site curator and pinner extraordinaire for BingeBooks. I also pen the blog The Immersive Bookshelf. My blog’s chief focus is on reviewing my immersive reading experiences.
What is an immersive reading experience you say? Well, let me tell you, it is an experience worth trying. Immersive reading is listening to an audiobook while following along with the book. Whether it be a paperback, hardback, or a digital copy on your e-reader, the results are the same. Pairing a fantastic book with a phenomenal narrator and you have a reading experience that is spectacular!

BingeBooks: How did you start writing?
Sara: I'd always dreamed of writing a mystery and when I had my second child, I thought "my life is only going to get busier," so I started writing during nap time a couple of days a week. I researched the publishing industry while I was writing the draft and went to writers conferences.
After about three years of writing and revising I had a novel. I queried agents the old-fashioned way, with a letter, and found an agent. She sold the manuscript in a 3-book deal. The book came out six years after I first started writing.
Tonya: I was a child therapist that belonged to a book club. It was my turn to host the book club and like most hosts of a book club, I'd …
