Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from

Color of Love
by Anita Stansfield

This is a great historical fiction novel about the an Indian woman raised by an English family and the unposibility or unlikely posibility of love and romance.  This is a great read that you will not want to miss.
Check out my review HERE.

Folks said Thomas Beaufort could track a housefly through a hurricane, and though he admitted that it might be a slight exaggeration, he felt it wasn’t too far off.

This week my first line comes from The Bomber War: The Allied Air Offensive Against Nazi Germany by Robin Neillands "This is the story of a machine." I haven't started it yet, but looking forward to it!

"They share the truth of an experience that only those who were there can truly know. As part of a regiment of southwestern cowpunchers, Oklahoma Indians, Ivy League football stars, and champion polo players, they had faced death boldly and defeated the enemy.

They had been Rough Riders."

Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment, and the Immortal Charge Up San Juan Hill by Mark Lee Gardner.

Happy Friday!!!

I haven't read one of Anita's novels yet!

My first line this week is from Kristi Ann Hunter's 'A Noble Masquerade':

“It is never a happy day when an eight-year-old girl's cheesecake lands in the dirt, and she certainly doesn't take kindly to the laughing little boy who put it there.”
