Welcome to the St. Patrick’s Day edition of First Line Friday. Drop by Hoarding Books to see what Irish-themed first lines others have shared.
Do you make sure you’re wearing green on the 17th of March? I usually forget about it until I’m out and about.
But, in celebration of the holiday, I’m sharing the first line from a book by Pam Hillman in which the hero is Irish…
Have you read this one yet? I’m looking forward to book two in this series (which happens to have plenty of Irish characters in it) releasing this summer.

Another blogger shared this book too. I have it on my TBR list. Thanks for the reminder that I need to read it. 😉
My blog is featuring An Irishwoman’s Tale by Patti Lacy. But here I will share from a book on my Spring TBR list, Hurricane Season by Lauren K. Denton. “She usually stayed in bed until at least six, but this morning she was restless, like animals get when the barometric pressure drops before a storm.”
Happy Friday!
Beautiful book cover! Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! My first line is from At Home with Daffodils by Paula Moldenhauer:
“Not again!”
I usually forget too, oops! Happy Friday!
I have read it, loved it, and shared the same line today 😀
Here’s the first line of an audiobook I’ve borrowed from the library on a friend’s recommendation, The Bookshop on the Corner (or, in the UK, The Little Shop of Happily Ever After) by Jenny Colgan:
“The problem with good things that happen is that very often they disguise themselves as awful things.”
Happy Friday!
Today at my blog, I am sharing the first lines from Jennifer Delamere’s latest novel, The Heart’s Appeal. It’s such a great book!
Here I will share the first lines from my next-up book, Finding Evergreen by Jennifer Rodewald. This is my first read of this author’s works, but I am very excited!!!
“July
Brandi’s head throbbed. The hateful words still sizzled in her ears as the front door brushed open. Ethan stepped over the threshold.”
I have this book on my shelf, I need to read it!
Ty Remington blamed the homemade orange marmalade cake for why he found himself huddled under an overhang off some faraway path in Glacier National Park, shivering, praying he might live through the night.
Storm Front by Susan May Warren
I haven’t read this book. And, I’m like you in that I usually forget to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day (red on Valentine’s Day, etc.). I hope you have a good weekend!
On my blog, I’m sharing the first line from a book I’m currently reading, Praying For Strangers, by River Jordan. Here, I’ll share the first line of the chapter I’m currently on. “We’ve spent the night at the ski resort catching up and sharing belated Christmas presents.” Have a great weekend!
St Patrick’s Day isn’t a big thing in New Zealand, and green has never been my best colour …
I’m sharing the first line from A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal on my blog today, but I’ll share here from the book I’m currently reading: A Chance at Forever by Melissa Jagears:
“I wish you luck, George.”
“It’s Aaron now. Don’t forget.”
Have a great weekend!
