A Brand New Blog Meme! First Impression Friday

Hi, everyone! I had this idea for a meme that I’d like to try, so buckle your seatbelts and hang on to your socks, cause this is going to blow you away! 

Fine. It’s not that exciting. Hell, it barely rivals a gentle breeze. Anyway…

First Impression Friday

First Impression Friday will be a meme where you talk about a book that you JUST STARTED! Maybe you’re only a chapter or two in, maybe a little farther.

Based on this sampling of your current read, give a few impressions and predict what you’ll think by the end. 

Did you think you’d love and ended up hating it? Or did you think you’d hate it and wound up loving it? Or were you exactly right?

I think what will really make this meme a lot of fun, is linking back to it from your review to say, “Look at how wrong I was!” OR “See? I knew it all along!”

So on this, the very first FIF, I’d like to talk about a little book called School for Psychics.

From the first page of the first chapter, I’ve been hooked. The writing flows so easily, the characters I’ve met so far feel very real, and I’m extremely invested in where the story is going and what’s going to happen to Teddy.

I predict a 4 out of 5 or higher!

Will I be let down? Will it exceed these already high expectations? I can’t wait to find out.

Feel free to join in on this meme if it interests you. If you do, link it back to me so I can read it, too!

Fun fact about this post: It’s my very first attempt at a meme and I’m worried it will fail miserably!!

  1. Oh I love this meme!!! I actually started a book yesterday (Honor Among Thieves) and after reading the first 2 chapters I don’t find it all that interesting. There’s potential for me to like it, but it’s not a strong start at all.
    Would you mind if others participated? I might not be able to do this Weekly by maybe bi-Weekly or monthly. This is such a great idea!

  2. I love this meme so much??????? I’m so excited right now. I could have done this with simon v. homo sapiens agenda bc I started it yesterday…but I lost self-control and stayed up till 2 am to finish it. xD *is tired*

  3. Cool idea, Joe😊 I am in the middle of a book right now, do you have a meme called “Middle Mondays”? Lol. Sorry that was bad. Maybe next Friday I will start a new book!

  4. I love this idea. I’ve seen memes or posts asking what books you think will go well or badly based just on the blurb or hype. I don’t like those. Lol. I like this idea. Maybe later I can participate as I started one that I’m particularly enjoying but who knows where it will go…

    1. Don’t tell anyone, but I’m almost done the book I talked about in this post. When I originally wrote it, though, I had just started. So it’s all true!

      1. Hahahahaha.
        Fair enough. I’ve done WWW posts and by the time they were posted the “current read” was in fact the “most recently read” 😉

  5. Love the idea of this meme, I’ll definitely be joining next friday. Sometimes I think I’ll hate a book when I start reading it but then it turns out I was so wrong haha this will be fun to write!

  6. Count me in Joe!!! Next Friday I’ll play 😉 I discovered it today on another blog and I love this idea!
