@bookstodon Just finished the 10th and final book of The Shadows of the Apt by and am genuinely heartbroken it’s over. After nearly 200 hours spent with these characters I almost feel bereaved. Amazing, epic fantasy series.

@toxy @bookstodon I'm coming to the end of another long series of books and I understand your grief.

@toxy @bookstodon No, I even keep a separate list in my "Books" notebook of authors/series just so's I can check up occasionally to see if they've added another book or done spin-offs!

There was a poll that stated—Rowling’s opening line in the HP series is one of best in the world. Someone posted about how there are a bunch of other opening statements that are better.

Here’s one of my personal favorites, from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (English translated):
“It is inevitable. The scent of bitter almonds always reminded him of the fate of unrequited love.”

What are some of your favorite opening lines in literature? 😊
