 Hello friends, I hope you're all good. Today, we're gonna be doing the first sentence challenge Which I have done once before on my YouTube channel, but it was many years ago It was right when I'd start my book to channel right when I got back into reading I had like six books on the show So we're gonna be doing the first sentence challenge if you don't know I'm blind-holded Someone reads the first sentence of the book out to me and I have to guess what it is Now we're actually playing for points this time We're gonna do point space we're gonna do 20 books in total if I get it on the first sentence I get three points. I can then get given the second sentence. I get two points. I can then get given the third sentence I get one point if I don't get it nil-pois nil-pois. So we're playing for a total of 60 points today and she'll be fun It's gonna be good. We're all gonna have fun. The first sentence challenge is always fun I think we should bring it back I think everyone should do the first sentence challenge again because I think it's so fun.
