Happy Friday, reader friends! Who is looking forward to the long weekend? I took a couple extra days off so I get an extra long weekend which I plan to fill with some errands and chores but mostly…reading!
This week’s special edition theme is Academia. This topic is broad as we’re talking YA/NA reads, graduates, or coming of age.
I’m reaching back a few years and share my first line from a book that’s a little silly, a loose modernization of Jane Austen’s Emma, and an author I can read over and over again.
Are you celebrating any graduates this year? What are you reading? Leave the first line of the book nearest you in comments then hop on over to our hosts at Hoarding Books and check out what others are sharing this week!

Today on my blog, I am sharing the first line from To Kill a Mockingbird — one of my most favorite books ever written. So here I will share from the book I am currently reading, The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristin Billerbeck. I am just beginning chapter 14, so I will share the first line from there.
“Try as I might, I can’t release Sam’s kiss from my memory.”
Have a great weekend!
Fascinating! Sounds like a delightful read. Today on my blog I am sharing a book I read a long time ago by Mary Connealy that I greatly enjoyed, Petticoat Ranch. Here I will share the first line from the book I am currently reading/studying, “Saving Truth” by Abdu Murray. “You’ve been at an intersection before, waiting for the red light to change, and had that uneasy feeling: Is the bus next to me moving forward or am I in reverse?” This book is about finding meaning and clarity in a post-truth world. I highly recommend this author. Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Friday!
My FLF comes from a book I will be reading soon, My Heart Belongs in Niagra Falls New York by Amanda Barratt.
As the coachman loaded her trunk onto the carriage, nausea churned in Adele’s stomach.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!
Oh what a FUN cover!!!!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
Happy Friday!
The book I’m sharing on my blog this week is Unblemished by Sara Ella but it’s also the book I’m currently reading so I’ll share the first line from chapter 4 here: “The expression on El’s face before the wall closed was all the proof I required.” Hope you have a happy Memorial Day weekend! 🙂
My blog post today is sharing the first line from Solo Tu by Narelle Atkins. It’s book #7 in the Tuscan Legacy series, and is set in Australia – and the heroine has recently graduated from college.
I’m currently reading another beach book – Sanover Beach Memories by Emma St. Clair. Here’s the first line:
“They had both been grounded for a week when Jenna’s father found the initials she and Steve carved into the birch tree.”
Happy Memorial Day weekend!
Happy Saturday and Memorial Day weekend!
