First Lines Friday

First Lines Friday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

• Grab your current read(s).
• Share the first line(s).
• Include the title and author.

"When I was in kindergarten, my class's end-of-year presentation was The Nutcracker Suite. Being slightly plump, rosy cheeked, and all golden curls, I'd been chosen by my teacher to play one of the sugarplum fairies—no small honor. There were playground fights over the sugarplum fairy roles."
