Ah, Friday! It’s been a long week with some unexpected and shocking news, so this weekend is needed to rest and recover from the news. And, of course, there will be reading involved.
This week, I’m the first line from Mourning Dove, a beautiful Book by Claire Fullerton. You can learn more about the book, read my full review, and enter to win an audio copy of this book here as part of the JustRead blog tour.
What are you reading? Grab the book nearest you and drop the first line in the comments. Then head over to Hoarding Books and read what lines others are sharing this week. May your weekend be blessed with plenty of reading time!

Happy Friday!
My first lines come from a book I’m reading shortly, Living in Harmony by Mary Ellis.
The rain’s finally stopped. We’re late. I’d better get you home before your father comes looking for us carrying his squirrel rifle—thunderstorm or no.”
“Hmm,” replied Amy. John’s attempt at humor fell short of its mark.
Have a relaxing weekend and happy reading!
Happy Friday! I am really intrigued by your first line and that book. I’ve had it on my radar.
I shared from The Guests on South Battery over on my blog, but here I’ll share from Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen,
“Here’s the first thing you need to know about Miss Cathy Williams: I am the daughter of a daughter of a queen and my mama never let me forget it. That’s right. Royal blood runs purple through my veins.”
I hope you are doing well Suzie. Yes, take time to relax this weekend. 🙂 And read lots!
Thank you for the well-wishes!!
Curious as to who Finley is. 🙂 The book I’m sharing on my blog is “His Bluestocking Bride” by Sally Britton. Here, I will share the first line from Chapter 17. “Tucked up in her favorite chair by the library fire, Ellen turned the page in an interesting volume on the subject of astronomy.” May you be able to fully enjoy your weekend!
What a lovely cover, and such an evocative first line!
I’m sharing from Formula of Deception by Carrie Stuart Parks on my blog. It’s a standalone thriller, not part of her Gwen Marcey series, and it’s set in Alaska – always a great start! I don’t have a line to share here because I’ve been editing this week, not reading, and the first line might change. I’ll be sharing it just as soon as I get permission from the author 🙂
My first line comes from The Choice by Robert Whitlow,,,
Rutland, Georgia, 1974
Sandy Lincoln nervously twirled her long blond hair around her index finger.
Happy Friday and happy reading!
I hope you are at peace with the news you got this week. I’m currently reading Elizabeth Maddrey’s Donuts & Daydreams which I’m really enjoying. The first line is “‘Oh, thank goodness you’re still open.’” I hope you have a nice weekend!
Thank you! I’m getting there. Best weekend wishes to you too!
One of my other reviewers read this book. It sounds good. See what I’m featuring at Girl Who Reads
My first two lines are from An Hour Unspent by Roseanna White:
May 11, 1915
Poplar, London, England
Barclay Pearce shouldered his way through the mob, invisible. He’d learned over the years how to blend into any crowd,and this one was no different.
I’m looking forward to digging into this one soon!!!
I’m sharing lines from A.L. Jackson’s upcoming release More of You on my blog today. It’s a second chance romance.
Here, I’ll be sharing lines from My Kinda Forever by Lacey Black.
“It’s a Summer sister tradition that on the first Saturday of each month, the six of us get together. We take turns picking the location or activity, anything from margaritas and a movie to wine and painting classes at the small uptown gallery. One thing, though, is as certain as the sun rising over the Chesapeake Bay every morning: there will be alcohol involved. “
Happy Reading!
I’m featuring my newest book by a favorite author, Early Riser by Jasper Fforde. I flipped a bit forward to page 15, so I could share a line:
“There was an intake of breath. It was the mission statement of the Campaign for Real Sleep, sort of a rallying cry.”
Happy Friday!
The book I shared this week on my blog is A Changed Agent by Tracey J Lyons. Shockingly I’m not reading a book right now because I finished one last night and was gone all day today. This won’t be a reading weekend for me but I’m enjoying a busy weekend with friends and family. Hope you have a great weekend!
Happy Saturday!
Yesterday on my blog, I shared the first few lines from Monstrous Beauty by Carol E. Keen. I’m just really getting into the book, so I’ll share another line from that book here:
“Tucking an errant group of hair behind her ear, Annabelle Giles planned out her morning.”
Hope you have a great weekend filled with excellent reading time!
