Be sure and visit Hoarding Books to see what other first lines are being shared this week
Welcome to April (and Friday). This week is another special edition of FLF and our theme is floral. It comes at an excellent time of year (for some of us who aren’t still dealing with snow). I was dog sitting for a friend this weekend and got some great shots of the new life blooming around her neighborhood.
I thought Julie Cantrell’s latest book fit this theme well.
What are you reading this week? Share the first line below then hop on over to Hoarding Books to check out everyone else’s first lines.
Cute first lines. I love children’s dialogues. Happy Friday! The book I’m highlighting on my blog is The Mistress of Rosemere by Sarah Ladd. I will share here the first line of Chapter 11, which I’m currently reading. “A flurry of activity swirled in the recovering Rosemere.” Wishing you a blessed weekend.
I love that first line. And the cover is pretty.
Happy Friday!
Today on my blog, I am sharing the first line from Rachael Anderson’s newest Regency novel, My Sister’s Intended. It’s an excellent book I highly recommend. Here I will share the first three lines from the novel I’m currently reading, Not Abandoned by MacKenzie Morganthal.
“It was a prison like none other. With boarded windows and a tall fence, I’d almost forgotten what it looked like outside. The bars that caged me in were strong, but not as strong as the bars I’d put up around my heart.”
This book is a part of my never ending TBR pile….I hope to get to it someday 🙂
Happy Friday!!
That’s me with about half (probably more) of my TBR pile…I hope to get to it someday 🙂
Happy Friday!
The book I’m sharing on my blog is A Sparrow in Terezin by Kristy Cambron but I’m sharing the book I’m currently (re)reading to get ready for the new Hallmark movie this weekend Once Upon A Prince by Rachel Hauck: “What did he say? The storm gusts moving over the Atlantic must have garbled his words.” Hope you have a blessed weekend!
Happy Friday! My first line is from Joel C. Rosenberg’s book The Kremlin Conspiracy, which my husband grabbed from me and read first:
“Louisa Sherbatov had just turned six, but she would never turn seven.”
Haha….love this first line! Happy Friday!
Julie Cantrell is an amazing writer!
I’m sharing the first line from Winning Miss Winthrop by Carolyn Miller on my blog today—a wonderful Christian Regency romance.
But I’m going to share the first line from the book I’m currently reading – an advance copy of Falling for You by Becky Wade. It doesn’t release until 1 May, but I loved True to You and I have no self-control when it comes to Becky Wade, so here are the opening lines:
“I discovered a secret.”
Corbin Stewart looked sharply at twelve-year-old Charlotte Dixon. “What kind of a secret?”
What a cute first line. I’m an Only, so I never had anyone around to be the boss of me…probably why I turned out the way I did, haha (mostly kidding, but forever thankful I never had any siblings!)
Also, I am very highly pro-snow, I love it! But I am also a Minnesota girl who has been transplanted and Nebraska winters just don’t cut it for me. We did get snow this morning and are supposed to have more Sunday – I can’t wait!
I’m sharing from The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim on my blog, so I was planning to share from Perennials. But since you’ve got that covered…
Have a great weekend!
This book is still on my tbr. *sigh*
