I can't wait to read The Mark of the King! My first line is: "Journeys are a curious sort of thing." From Embracing the Baobab, Missionary Reflections on Christian Community, by Jerry Ireland.

I love the cover! I will be reviewing this book soon. :) The stack of books are growing...lol.

My first line for the week comes from Tea and Sympathy by Carol Cox:

"Kate Hanlon settled back into the pillows propped against the headboard of her bed and stared down at her lap. The tray resting on her knees contained a steaming mug of tea and a plate holding one slice of lightly buttered toast."

Happy reading and happy Friday!

Hi Sydney!

My first line comes from Carrie Turansky's new book Shine Like the Dawn.

Four years later...April 1903

Maggie turned the hat block and examined the broad-brimmed, yellow straw hat.

Happy Friday!

that cover is gorgeous - and the writing is too!

My first line at the moment comes from Erica Vetsch's My Heart Belongs in Fort Bliss Texas - "Only the army would think a place like this worth defending."

Love the book, love the cover!

My first line today is from Regina Jennings' "For the Record":

Only a limited patch of Earth could claim the privilege of belonging to Texas. Not that he despised the rest of the world for its misfortune, but there was a difference.

Have a good weekend :-)

I want that book!
I started a new book today, So far it's a little sad, I'm hoping it gets better.
First Line from "Stars in the Grass" by Ann Marie Stewart
Prologue- I spent the better part of my childhood sitting on a pew in the balcony of Bethel Springs First Presbyterian Church, listening to my dad's long vowels as he preached on predestination.
