First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines? If you want to make your own post, feel free to use or edit the banner above, and follow the rules below:
- Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
- Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
- Finally… reveal the book!
Hello, there!
Finally, I have passed my death week--you know, my exam week. So, this is my First Lines Fridays for this week. Like I said before, many of the books that I read is Indonesia. So, I am really sorry if you never know about this book.
"Ellinor Katharine Carlisle. Anda menjadi terdakwa dengan tuduhan telah membunuh Mary Gerard pada tanggal 22 Juli yang lalu. Apakah Anda mengaku bersalah atau tidak bersalah?"
Yap, this line belongs to...
Mawar Tak Berduri (Sad Cypress) - Agatha Christie

Wajah Elinor memerah. "Apakah akan Anda tanyakan pada saya—apakah saya yang telah membunuh Mary Gerrard?"
Poirot bangkit. Cepat-cepat ia berkata, "Saya tidak akan menanyakan apa-apa lagi pada Anda. Ada beberapa hal yang saya tak ingin tahu...."
Namun bahkan Hercule Poirot pun kadang-kadang membohongi dirinya sendiri. Sebenarnya ia ingin—ingin sekali—tahu.
Agatha Christie is one of authors that I admired. I want to read her work one by one. I really want to know about this book :D
Okay, then. See ya in another First Lines Friday.
Sincerely,
Ra
