Happy New Year!!!
Welcome to First Line Friday's hosted by Hoarding Books.
Today's book is: Just the Way You Are by Pepper Basham
First line is:
"One step into the massive, glass-walled waiting area was all it took."
I have heard so many good things about this book that I just had to pick it up to read it myself. I am only a few chapters in, but I already adore Mr. H. Looking forward to see where this story takes me.
Now it's your turn!
Let me know your first line in the comments and then head over

Everyone seems to love Pepper Basham's books, but I haven't read any yet. I guess I should :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing the first line from The View from Rainshadow Bay by Colleen Coble on my blog - another great romantic suspense novel!
I'm currently reading Missing Isaac, the brilliant debut from Valerie Fraser Luesse. Here's the first line:
A sleepy purple twilight wrapped around the farmhouse, its tall windows glowing with warmth from somewhere inside.
I really enjoyed the character interactions in The View from Rainshadow Bay. Happy weekend!
DeleteOh, one of my favourite reads from 2017!
ReplyDeleteI'm featuring the first line from Susan May Warren's "Troubled Waters" on my blog today, but right now I'm deep into "A Moonbow Night" by Laura Frantz:
"What cannot be cured must be endured."
Have a great weekend :-)
Glad to hear you enjoyed, I can't wait to get further into it. Happy weekend.
DeleteI love Pepper's books!
ReplyDeleteMy first line is from the Christian Young Adult book Bubbly Schnitzel by Meg Gonzales.
“Julia, this is a horrible idea.”
That first lines makes you want to know what the idea is.
DeleteI so need to read this!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing about Until We Find Home by Cathy Gohlke on the blog today, but since it's the closest book to me since it's what I'm currently reading, I'll share it here as well.
May 1940
Lightning crackled, splitting the night sky over Paris, illuminating letters painted on the bookstore window across the street: La Maison de Amis Livres. Driving rain pounded the loose shutters of Shakespeare and Company, making them rattle so that Claire Stewart dropped the heavy blackout curtain into place.
Happy Friday!
Ohh Paris... someday.
DeleteAhhhh, Pepper! #mustread
ReplyDeleteAdam Bryan pushed into the Magnolia Cafe and turned to wait for his younger sister Daisy. Second Chance Rose by Liz Talley (Christmas Roses by multiple authors)
Happy weekend.
DeleteThat's one of my favorites! Happy Friday! My first line(s) is from the Prologue in Susan May Warren's new book Troubled Waters, which I finished last night:
ReplyDelete"Oh, this was a bad idea. Epically, abysmally, horrendously bad."
Glad to hear you enjoyed, I look forward to getting more into the story. I read Troubled Waters earlier this week and just loved it.
DeleteI have this book...Now, I just need the time to read it!
ReplyDeleteToday, I'm hosting Oath of Honor on my site. I just started it, so I'm only at chapter 3. So, here I will share the first couple of lines from that chapter.
"'Kevin!' But with the doors shut and the windows up, he wouldn't hear her whispered shout. She should have lied and said the place was covered in cameras."
You are in for an enjoyable read with Oath of Honor.
DeleteEvery time I hear this title, I think of the song...lol. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
DeleteAnother one of Pepper's books I need to read! I'm featuring Oath of Honor over on my blog, but I'll share Life on The Porcelain Edge by C.E. Hilbert here -- Tessa Tarrington's life was in the toilet.
ReplyDeleteYour line makes me wonder what is going on in Tessa's life.
DeleteYAY! I love Pepper!
