ReplyDeleteI'm featuring the first line from The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey by Carolyn Miller on my blog this week, but right now I'm almost finished a gripping read by Candace Calvert, Disaster Status, so I'm going to give you the first line of that:
"Fire captain Scott McKenna bolted through the doors of Pacific Mercy ER, his boots thudding and heart pounding as the unconscious child began to stiffen and jerk in his arms."
Gotta get back to it! Have a great weekend :-)
It's on my wish list. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Love Unawares, a historical fiction book by Michelynn Christy:
Prairie, Texas 1895
"Well, Jed. Are you ready to meet your new wife tomorrow?"
I loved Just Look Up! One of the best books from this year.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing about Isaiah's Daughter by Mesu Andrews on the blog today, but here I'm going to share the first line from The Esther Paradigm by Sarah Monzon.
Prologue
Hannah Pratt stared out across the grainy hills as the wind blew a gentle kiss over the crest.
Chapter 1
Hannah
This was not how I'd thought I would die.
Happy Friday!
I will be cracking this open soon, thanks for the sneak peak.
DeleteI adore that book!
ReplyDeleteHere's the first line from my next read:
"Fowltown Village, Georgia
Big Chestnut Moon (October) 1817
Captain Marcus Buck dropped to one knee beside an Indian's crumpled form and swept a hand down her face, lowering her lids over sightless eyes."
Drawn by the Frost Moon: Bitter Eyes No More by April W. Gardner
HAPPY FRIDAY! Just Look Up is on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteRebecca Hawes lay awake in her tent, convinced that the howling wind was about to lift her entire camp into the air and hurl it to the far side of the desert. Where We Belong by Lynn Austin
I loved Just Look Up so much. It's such a great read!
ReplyDeleteI am showcasing Embracing Hope by Janell Butler Wojtowicz this week, so I will post the first line from the book I plan to read after I finish Embracing Hope.
"This is for them. This is for the magic. This is for every little dreamer in the room. Dozens of little awestruck faces crowded the large studio as I took position to practice my Sugar Plum Fairy solo."
So, a little more than one line, but I really like the image this creates of cute little ballerinas excited to see a performance. This comes from A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal.
I love Amazon Kindle book deals! Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great deal! I’m featuring A Most Peculiar Circumstance by Jen Turano on my blog, but here I will share the first line from a novel I recently published called Reluctant To Wed. “Sitting in her grandfather’s traveling coach, Emma suddenly felt the impact of her decision.”
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano
DeleteLoved Just Look Up! It's one of my top reads for 2017.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing from The Dishonourable Miss DeLancy over on my blog, but I'm currently reading The Captive Brides collection. I've just started Waltzing Matilda by Lucy Thompson. Here's the first line:
Matilda Brampton took one more look at the walls of the Parramatta Female Factory and vowed it would be her last.
On my page I shared the first line from Heather Day Gilbert's "God's Daughter" a superb story rich in viking history. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys Historical Fiction.
ReplyDeleteI'll share here an old favorite of mine "Heidi"
From the old and pleasantly situated village of Mayenfeld, a footpath winds through green and shady meadows to the food of the mountains, which on this side look down from their stern and lofty heights upon the valley below.
love, love, love that book!
ReplyDeleteMy current first line is from Love Held Captive by Shelley Shepard Gray: "There was almost nothing there. Almost."
