First Line Friday ~ A Daring Venture by Elizabeth Camden

I'm linking up with Hoarding Books to share the first line of my current read.

A Daring Venture (Empire State, #2)

"You and your brother are to go to the music room, close the door, and don't come out until I say you can."

What are you reading this weekend? Let me know in the comments.

  2. Happy Friday!
    The book I am sharing on my blog today is A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal but the book I'm currently reading is The Reckoning at Gossamer Pond by Jaime Jo Wright. Since it was my FLF last week I'll share the first line from chapter 20 where I am now: "'You know you live in a creepy old house, don't you?' Christen stood from her chair at the kitchen table and retrieved the bag of mint Oreos from the counter." Hope you have a great weekend with plenty of reading time! :)

  3. Another one on my list to read! Happy Friday! My first line (actually first 2 and the little poem before) is from "A Little Ray of Sunshine" by Kimberly Rae Jordan.

    "(Shadows around me, shadows above me
    Never conceal my Savior and Guide:
    He is the light, in Him is no darkness,
    Ever I'm walking close to His side.)

    Ryan McFadden looked at each of the men gathered around the large boardroom table. He searched the familiar faces for any sign of the unease that sat so heavy in his gut."

  5. Happy Friday! 😎

    My first lines come from a book I will be reading soon, Through the Autumn Air by Kelly Irvin.......

    At what point did a person realize that the special moments in life streak by in a flash, distilled into memories before they could be truly lived? Mary Katherine Ropp stood motionless in the middle of her kitchen, a platter holding a two-layer German chocolate cake covered in whipped cream cheese frosting nestled in her hands.

    Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊📚💖

  6. Happy Friday! I’m featuring lines from Julia Wolf’s Cut Free on my blog today.

    Here, I’m sharing lines from Susan Stoker’s Defending Allye.

    “So I’ll see you back at the rendezvous point, right?” Black asked.

    “Absolutely,” Gray told his friend and partner as he readied himself to slip over the side of the fiberglass boat into the Pacific Ocean.

  7. I listened to this one on audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed the narrator's accents for both of these characters.

    I'm about to start Hiding in Plain Sight by Mary Ellis, so I'll share that first line here:
    It wouldn't have taken much to turn a lousy day into something left of atrocious.

    Have a great weekend!

  8. I'm sharing from True Grit by Charles Portis today, here is a line from the ebook at 7%:

    "If Papa had a failing it was his kindly disposition. People would use him. I did not get my mean streak from him."

    Happy Friday!

  10. I'm hoping to read this one soon!

    On my blog, I've shared the first line from Kim Vogel Sawyer's upcoming novel Ours For a Season. Right now, I'm just finishing up As the Tide Comes In by Cindy and Erin Woodsmall. I'm going to share the first line from chapter 36 here:

    "Luella drove toward church as Tara fidgeted with notes to her speech."

    Hope you have a great weekend filled with relaxing reading time! 😃📚

  11. I'm not actually reading this weekend ... shock! Horror! I'm catching up on admin and blog post (not nearly so interesting, but needs must and all that).

    I'm sharing from Know You More by Jan Thompson on my blog - it's the latest addition to my never-ending to-read pile. And it's currently free on Kindle (for around another 24 hours).
