My "FAVORITES" List (just started this, and will be adding to it as time allows)

Favorite First Lines (scroll down for the books they came from--but try to guess first!):

1) "Where's Papa going with that ax?" said Fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast.

2) Well, I have broken the toilet.

3) It was a dark and stormy night.

4) My name is Dovey Coe, and I reckon it don't matter if you like me or not.

Answers:
1) CHARLOTTE'S WEB, of course! By E. B. White
2) DURABLE GOODS, a great little young adult novel by Elizabeth Berg--one of my favorites of all time.
3) No, it's not Snoopy--this is really the first line from A WRINKLE IN TIME by Madeleine L'Engle.
4) DOVEY COE, of course! The author is Frances O'Roark Dowell.
