It’s Friday! How was your week? I had a wonderful one since I was off work and had the privilege of attending the Christy Awards on Wednesday. What are you currently reading? Deborah Raney’s newest release is one I’m looking forward to digging into soon.

Happy November! First, a PSA: Don’t forget to set your clocks back Saturday night/Sunday morning (yeah, that’s this weekend). We got a little cold front on Halloween, and I’m not talking about the southerner’s idea of cold. It’s dipped down into the 30s overnight. Perfect cozy up with a book (or books) weather! Here’s the first line from my current read.

Can you believe it’s the final Friday of October? This month, I’ve been enjoying some of the new Christmas reads coming out. This week I’m doubling up the first lines from two novellas in Western Christmas Wishes from the Love Inspired line. You can read my review of this book here.

First Line Friday Autumn

Happy Friday, everyone. It’s finally feeling like fall here in Tennessee and I could not be happier.

This week I’m sharing the first line from The Death of Mungo Blackwell written by my friend and fellow middle Tennessee author Lauren H. Brandenburg. Lauren has indie published several middle grade books and is well known around the Realm Makers fandom. Since today is the US release of The Death of Mungo Blackwell, I wanted to share it while it’s hot off the presses. Although, if you’re not in the US, you’ll have to wait until November for this Lion Hudson Fiction release.

First Line Friday: The Bridge Between by Lindsey P. Brackett

I’m housesitting again this weekend. Yes, I do this a lot but September and October have been especially busy months for friends going out of town. But a quiet house with no chores of my own and no distractions other than feeding an animal or two equals abundant reading time, and I’m hoping to make a decent dent in the rest of my October tbr!

Including this September release from Lindsey Brackett. I’m looking forward to returning to Edisto, SC in this book.
