Happy Friday!
Welcome to First Line Friday's hosted by Hoarding Books.
Today's book is: The House at Saltwater Point by Colleen Coble
First Line:
"Neutral paint colors allow the prospective buyer to imagine their own furnishing in the space."
-Excerpt from Ellie Blackmore's Hammer Girl Blog
This book just released a couple days ago (July 3rd). It is the second book in Colleen's Lavender Tide series and I had the chance to read this book early. I was kept guessing and did not want to put it down until I knew what had happened. My full review can be found here.
Now it's your turn!
Let me know your first line in the comments and then head over

ReplyDeleteMy first line is from Blind Betrayal by Nancy Mehl:
As Martin Avery waited to be murdered, he was surprised to find that, more than anything else, he felt offended.
This is on my looooonng audiobook list for this month!
ReplyDeleteMy current read is The Truth Between Us by Tammy L. Gray:
Nine months, twenty-seven days, and four hours.
Happy Friday!
I shared the first few lines of Rosie Walsh's debut "Ghosted" on my blog, but I'm going to share an old favorite here.
ReplyDelete"The fans scream for her, but they don't really know the girl on the magazine covers - the girl with the guitar and the easy smile. Her given name is Delilah, and they think she goes by Lilah. But anyone who really knows my best friend calls her Dee."
That line comes from Emery Lord's "Open Road Summer". It's a light, fun and romantic read, perfect for, well, summer. Haha!
Hope you enjoyed it. Happy Friday! :D
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteI’m reading Newlywed Games by Mary Davis right now, so here’s the first line: “Bruce Halloway had looked up with a start when he heard the ruckus outside his office window.”

Happy Friday!😎 I have that book to read too! I can’t wait to get to it!😃
ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from Loving Grace by April Smith.
I’M LATE. THE PHONE IS already ringing off the wall by the time I make it to my desk. I toss my keys and bag to the side, not really bothering with where they land. I’ll get them later. I grab the phone and snag the corner of the desk with my hip. That’s going to leave a mark.
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!😊j
Ahhh!!!! I want to read this book! I love Colleen Coble :) I hope you can stop by:

Happy Friday! My first line is from This Freedom Journey by Misty M. Beller:
ReplyDelete"This journey I take seems foolish to others, yet I can't help the yearning that fuels me. ~ Adrien's Journal"
I’m sharing from Hurricane Season by Lauren K. Denton on my blog today, so here is the rather long first line from chapter 2:
ReplyDelete“The babysitter was late, Addie and Walsh were flying around the house in superhero capes yelling the Batman theme song–“Da-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-Batman!”–and Jenna had just poured a mug of coffee when Walsh bumped into her from behind, spilling hot liquid down the front of her black Full Cup Coffee T-shirt.”
Happy Friday!
I enjoyed the first Lavender Tides novel (although my nails did suffer). I'll have to check this one out as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing from The Forgiving Hour by Robin Lee Hatcher on the blog today. Not that I managed to stop with the first line—I've now finished it!
Here's another great line, from Chapter Thirty. This is one I've been learning the truth of in the last year, attending my church prayer meeting with ladies three or four decades older than me:
Being a Christian isn't a destination; it's a lifelong journey. There's always something new to learn along the way, always something fresh to be revealed.
i can't wait to read this one soon!
ReplyDeleteThis week for FLF, I am showcasing Roseanna M. White's novel Whispers From the Shadows. Here, I will post the first line from chapter 2 in the book I'm just starting today, The Hope of Azure Springs by Rachel Fordham.
ReplyDelete"Em, you look so improved."
Kind of sounds insulting...I'll have to read on and find out the context. 😉
Hope you're having a blessed weekend with lots of fun reading time. 😊
The book I shared on my blog is The Hidden Side by Heidi Chiavaroli, but I'm currently reading Things I Never Told You by Beth K Vogt so I'll share that first line here: "The what-ifs taunted me every time I visited my parents, but any hope of beginning again had vanished years ago--if there'd ever been one. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSound like it is quite the gripping story!
