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

Today I am going to post a line from

The Outlaw's Secret
by Stacy Henrie

This week I am doing another historical fiction book.  You may notice a trend in that a lot of the books I read and talk about are historical fiction (it is my favorite genre after all).  Have you read any of Stacy Henrie's books?  If not, you should give them a try!!!

The squeal of the train wheels jerked Essie Vanderfair's attention from the doodles and half-formed thoughts scribbled inside her notebook to the window beside her.

I love the Love Inspired Historical collection! I try to post their new releases each month. :)

My first line for the week is:

The Newcomer
by Suzanne Woods Fisher

Philadelphia
October 15, 1737

"Bairn was suffocating. Not literally, mayhap, but as close as a man could get."

Happy reading and happy Friday!

I know. They are a great line of books.

I am looking forward to that one as well. :)

"Come out o' the gutter, ye urchin! cried Mrs. Croale in a harsh, half-masculine voice, standing on the curbstone of a short, narrow, dirty lane." This first line is from "The Poet and the Pauper," by George MacDonald :)

This sounds interesting. I will have to look it up. :)

Since I shared the first line of the Prologue on my blog, here is Chapter one. "Maggie turned the hat block and examined the broad-brimmed, yellow straw hat." Happy Friday Sydney!

My first line is: " "...for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord." The words grabbed the man by the throat." (I had to include that 2nd line!) from Moving Target by Lynette Eason

Oooo. Nice! I have been wanting to read this series.

I'll have to check out some of Stacy's books!
Finished reading A Note Yet Unsung by Tamera Alexander

Nashville, Tennessee

Rebekah Carrington stood shivering across the street from her childhood home, satchel heavy in hand, cloak dusted with snow.

It just arrived in the mail. But it is going to have to wait a little while... Sigh...

I love that first line and I'm excited to be sharing an interview with Stacy Henrie on my own blog this Monday!

For a first line, I'll share the first line from Roseanna M. White's "The Lost Heiress": Tempation sat before her, compelling as the sea.

Hi Sydney!

My first line comes from Tosca Lee's upcoming release Firstborn. Book two in The House of Bathory.

Six weeks ago, I woke up in a cabin in the north woods of Maine with no memory of the last two years or any pertinent details of my life before.
