in the ten years since Livy Johnson had last visited."
in the ten years since Livy Johnson had last visited."
What brings Livy back to Laurel Cove? Will it be like she remembers? I am currently reading this and loving the characters so much. I'm torn between enjoying the story so much its hard to put down and not wanting to get to the end and having to say goodbye.
Now it's your turn!
Let me know your first line in the comments and then head over

ReplyDeleteOver on my blog this week I'm sharing the first line from Sarah Sundin's "The Sea Before Us". It's a fantastic story!
Here I'll share with you the first line from chapter 5 of the same book.
"Teleprinters chattered and telephones buzzed, and Dorothy carried a stack of diagrams into the intelligence office."
I've never read anything from Sarah Sundin before, but after hearing so much about her writing I picked up one her books just this week.

CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL
"It's time," the voice said. "Remember what we told you." - No Place To Hide by Lynette Eason
Happy Friday and Happy Reading!
I love Lynette Eason!
DeleteJust that first line sounds like a style I like. :)
ReplyDeleteThe book closest me is one I have to review in about a month, "Presumption and Partiality" by Rebekah Jones (it's a vintage Jane Austen retelling). In fact, I haven't even looked at the first line... let's see what it says...
"The sun beat down cheerfully on that last day of August in the year 1932. Then again, it could be argued that the sun always showed a cheery face in that part of Arizona's desert and most especially in the summer." (Okay, first two lines, I cheated... ;) )
This looks like an interesting book I need to add to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI’m sharing about “Across the Blue” by Carrie Turansky on the blog today. My first line will come from “Keturah” by Lisa T. Bergren since it’s the closest book to me.
10 June, 1773
Rivenshire, England
In the hopes that at least one would get through, their father had sent three copies of his last letter from the West Indies; as it happened. his daughters received them all.
Happy Friday!
Seems like everyone is talking about that book right now, I will have to check it out.
DeleteI bought this, but I haven't read it yet. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing the first line from If I Run by Terri Blackstock on my blog today, but I'm about to start reading The Winsome Miss Winthrop by Carolyn Miller,which releases in March. Here's the first line:
The deeply blue Gloucestershire sky brought comfort as Catherine Winthrop emerged from the tenant farmhouse.
I love Carolyn Miller's books, so I'm looking forward to reading it!
I haven't ready anything by Carolyn Miller yet, but do have 2 of her books on my kindle, so someday soon I will start them.
DeleteOn my blog, I’m featuring A Worthy Pursuit by Karen Witemeyer. Here, I will share a line from a book I am currently reading. The Heaven Answer Book by Billy Graham. Isn’t that timely? 🙂 The first line in the Preface is “One of the Bible’s greatest truths is that we were not meant for this world alone. We were meant for Heaven — and Heaven is our ultimate home. But what exactly is Heaven?” I wish you a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. Billy Graham was such an inspirational person.
DeleteThis happens to be the book I just started (about an hour ago). I've heard lots of wonderful things about it so I'm looking forward to diving into it more after work tonight!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
I just finished it and absolutely loved it. Enjoy!
DeleteOh, I know that feeling too well! I'm sharing from Michelle Griep's The Innkeeper's Daughter on my blog today. Here are the first two lines from one of my other current reads, Winter in Thrush Green by Miss Read:
ReplyDelete"Autumn had come early to Thrush Green. The avenue of horse-chestnuts, which ran across its northerly end, blazed like a bonfire."
Happy Friday!
Happy Friday! My first line is from My Heart Belongs in Castle Gate, Utah by Angie Dicken:
ReplyDelete"Leanna McKee pushed her hat by its brim, hiding her face as best she could. She would not let him see her."
Happy Friday! Thanks for visiting.
DeleteOh, I really enjoyed that story!
ReplyDeleteHappy Saturday!!!
ReplyDeleteOn my blog, I'm sharing the first lines from Lisa T. Bergren's fantastic novel, Keturah. Here, I will share the first lines from the novel I'm currently reading, A Brush with the Beast by Richard Sones.
"Good night, Mr. D," chirped an elderly secretary as Nick left his office on another late night. Slim, young, black briefcase in hand, he walked briskly toward the door.
Sounds like the beginning of a great story! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great story. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteOh, thanks so much for sharing Someplace Familiar's first line! What a joy. :) All these others sound just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI loved this book. Thanks for writing such a wonderful story.
