Tweeting the first lines of kids' books so you don't have to!

About the Site

The hip way to chat now? Tweeting.... Want to appear even cooler? Push Twitterlit.com to teens, which provides the first line from selected books, then links to the titles on Amazon. — School Library Journal

Between September 2007 and July 2016, I posted the first line of a young adult or children's book every day on KidderLit—without the author's name or book title, but with a link to Amazon so readers could see what book the line was from. Like its sister site TwitrLit, KidderLit was a fun way to discover new books through the then-new technology of Twitter microblogging.
