Oh Gosh. I can't list just one sentence! I have multiple favourite books. Well. Here are favourite books with favourite first sentences to try and narrow things down...

"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." J.R.R Tolkien The Hobbit

"On a cold, fretful afternoon in early October, 1872, a hansom cab drew up outside the offices of Lockhart and Selby, Shipping Agents in the financial heart of London, and a young girl got out and paid the driver." Sally Lockhart Quartet by Philip Pullman, Book One, The Ruby in the Smoke

"If you are interested in stories with happy endings you would be better off reading some other book." ASOUE, The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

"Three children lay on the rocks at the waters edge." Daughter of the Forest, Juliet Marillier, Book One of The Sevenwaters Trilogy

I love fantasy and fantasy authors so all of my favourite books are in series.

It's a young adult science fiction, slightly steampunk. It is a series but I've not read the entire series. There will be a film of it at some point.

Steampunk? I must read it!
