I'm linking up with Hoarding Books to share the first line from my current read.
" Libby Sheffield had never stopped to winder what she would take specific note of if she ever stumbled upon a dead body."
What are you reading this weekend? Let me know in the comments.
I shared the first few lines of Rosie Walsh's debut "Ghosted" on my blog, but I'm going to share an old favorite here.
ReplyDelete"The fans scream for her, but they don't really know the girl on the magazine covers - the girl with the guitar and the easy smile. Her given name is Delilah, and they think she goes by Lilah. But anyone who really knows my best friend calls her Dee."
That line comes from Emery Lord's "Open Road Summer". It's a light, fun and romantic read, perfect for, well, summer. Haha!
Hope you enjoyed it. Happy Friday! :D
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI need to read this book!
I’m reading Newlywed Games by Mary Davis right now, so here’s the first line: “Bruce Halloway had looked up with a start when he heard the ruckus outside his office window.”

Happy Friday!😎
ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from Loving Grace by April Smith.
I’M LATE. THE PHONE IS already ringing off the wall by the time I make it to my desk. I toss my keys and bag to the side, not really bothering with where they land. I’ll get them later. I grab the phone and snag the corner of the desk with my hip. That’s going to leave a mark.
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊
I should hope not! lol I hope you can stop by:

Happy Friday! My first line is from This Freedom Journey by Misty M. Beller:
ReplyDelete"This journey I take seems foolish to others, yet I can't help the yearning that fuels me. ~ Adrien's Journal"
I’m sharing from Hurricane Season by Lauren K. Denton on my blog, so here is the first line from chapter 2:
ReplyDelete“The babysitter was late, Addie and Walsh were flying around the house in superhero capes yelling the Batman theme song–“Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Batman!”–and Jenna had just poured a mug of coffee when Walsh bumped into her from behind, spilling hot liquid down the front of her black Full Cup Coffee T-shirt.”
Happy Friday!
That's probably not the kind of event someone should have an answer for ...
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing from The Forgiving Hour by Robin Lee Hatcher on the blog today. Not that I managed to stop with the first line—I've now finished it!
Here's another great line, from Chapter Thirty. This is one I've been learning the truth of in the last year, attending my church prayer meeting with ladies three or four decades older than me:
Being a Christian isn't a destination; it's a lifelong journey. There's always something new to learn along the way, always something fresh to be revealed.
i cannot wait to read this book!
ReplyDeleteThis week for FLF, I am showcasing Roseanna M. White's novel Whispers From the Shadows. Here, I will post the first line from chapter 2 in the book I'm just starting today, The Hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham.
ReplyDelete"Em, you look so improved."
Kind of sounds insulting...I'll have to read on and find out the context. 😉
Hope you're having a blessed weekend with lots of fun reading time. 😊
I still say this book looks like it will be scary! Am I right?
ReplyDeleteThe book I shared on my blog is The Hidden Side by Heidi Chiavaroli, but I'm currently reading Things I Never Told You by Beth K Vogt so I'll share that first line here: "The what-ifs taunted me every time I visited my parents, but any hope of beginning again had vanished years ago--if there'd ever been one. Hope you have a great weekend!
I'm looking forward to reading this book... soon!!!
