Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers over at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join.
Exciting beginnings
Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi
"I have been locked up for 264 days."
Why is she locked up? What has she done? I was pulled into this book from the very first sentence.
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
"He began his new life standing up, surrounded by cold darkness and stale, dusty air."When you start this book you are just as confused as Thomas and you want to find out what is happening just as bad as him. I couldn't put this book down after the first chapter.
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”
This is probably the best known opening line. I don't know why, but I just love it!
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
"Once upon a time an angel and a devil fell in love. It did not end well."
I absolutely loved this opening line, it had me hooked instantly. Unfortunately I did not like how the book turned out. An exciting beginning does not always mean the rest is good..
Amazing endings
The Mortal Instruments/ The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
Vampire Academy/ Bloodlines by Richelle Mead
At the end of every book in these four series I'm dying to read the next one. I mean, the ending of Indigo Spell.. give me Fiery Heart now!
The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa
Cliffhanger that leaves you happy, but so frustrated at the same time. Where's book three?!
The Mara Dyer Series by Michelle Hodkin

The Mara Dyer Series by Michelle Hodkin
Both books in the series have such shocking cliffhangers, they leave you very confused, I like that.
Yes, I have a thing for cliffhangers, they're just so exciting and frustrating at the same time:)
The King of Beginnings and Endings
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
To me, the Harry Potter series has the best beginning and ending of all series I've read.

"Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense."
"The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
