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

Today I am going to post a line from

So Fair a Lady
by Amber Lynn Perry.

​This is book one in the Daughters of His Kingdom Series.  So Fair a Lady and the books in this series are Christian, historical romance stories and take place in Colonial America.  Book four in the series will be releasing June 20th so check it and the outer books in the series out HERE.
Picture
Boston, MA 1773: Shards of Eliza Campbell's life crash to the ground when she discovers a devastating secret: her father was a spy for the Sons of Liberty. Determined to uncover the truth--at any cost--not even a marriage proposal from the dashing British Officer Samuel Martin can dissuade her. When rescued from British capture by handsome patriot Thomas Watson, Eliza discovers what her father risked his life for and yearns to know more. But will her budding attraction to this courageous patriot damage her already wounded heart? 

After years of being blackmailed by Officer Martin, Thomas plans to start a new life in the small town of Sandwich. However, when his actions place Eliza and her sister in danger, he must act quickly to protect them from falling into enemy hands. If the three of them are discovered, their lives will never be the same. Now, not only must he protect Eliza, he must protect his heart from a love that is sure to wound him far greater than any British soldier ever could.

I love that cover!

I have the first line from Teresa Tysinger's upcoming release on my blog, but here I'm going to share the first line from 'Nightshade' by Ronie Kendig, in honour of its recent re-release:

“Gut pressed to the spine of his Hayabusa, Max Jacobs bore down the mountainous two-lane road.”

Have a great weekend!

Ooooo. I have a few of Ronie's books. Still need to read them though...

I like the title and the book cover!

My first line is:
Once there was a tree… ~The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
I have been reading this book to my kids every night for the last month. They love it!

That is such a lovely cover! I really enjoyed reading that book and I am looking forward to reading the 4th book in the series when it comes out later this year!

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 10:43:11 am

I agree. I am enjoying this series and am looking forward to all of them!!

Amanda Tero link
5/26/2017 07:46:48 am

Ah! I have this series on my Kindle! I really want to read it someday!

This week, I'm trying to put some reading time into "The Memoirs of General William T. Sherman" (for research) and "Threads of Suspicion (by Dee Henderson--my first of hers to read).

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 10:44:12 am

Oh yes! You definitely need to start this series! It is great!!

Nice! Hooray for book research!

And yet again another author I still need to read a book by... LOL!

Amber Lynn Perry link
5/26/2017 09:33:29 am

This post is SO much fun--thank you, thank you for sharing SO FAIR A LADY! It love going back and daydreaming about the beginning of this series!
OK, the first line from the book I'm enjoying is, "Women were more trouble than they were worth." THE VEXING by Tamara Leigh is SO good!! <3

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:06:31 am

You are SO welcome! I am absolutely LOVING this story!! <3
I still need to read a Tamara Leigh book too. So many books. So little time! LOL!

I want to read Amber's book! Happy Friday!! My first line is from White by Denise Weimer: "The dream started the way Jennifer's actual visit to the house at 104 Main Street, Hermon, had begun, on a road that hurtled past green fields & dust-blown wildflowers into forever, ending in a community time had forgotten."

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:07:21 am

Oh fun! I love Denise's books! :)

Heidi Robbins link
5/26/2017 10:46:46 am

I'm reading Winds of change by Jean Holbrook Mathews!
"Sarah McCune waited in the darkness on the flagstone veranda of the large bungalow, oblivious to the very rare sight of the stars of the Milky Way spread across the night sky like a filmy, spangled belt."

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:07:58 am

Fun! I just got this book in the mail the other day! Cannot wait to read it!!

My first line is from "Mary, Chosen of God" by Diana Wallis Taylor:

With a sigh, Mary paused to sit on a nearby rock and tie the leather strap again.

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:09:42 am

Oh cool. I have never heard of this book. Biblical fiction always intrigues me. I will have to take a look at it!

Andi

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books

I locked my school/office door yesterday, so my first day of summer officially begins today! So much reading ahead! :-) Here's my first line today (from the prologue): "Night crept over the hills, smothering the landscape in a cocoon of darkness that would hide him in a few minutes." -- Colleen Coble's Haven of Swans (the cover is intriguing, too!).

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:11:26 am

How exciting! Hello summer!!!

Colleen's books are always so good. I will need to check out this one and other in the series!

Beth Erin link
5/26/2017 01:31:09 pm

I can't wait to get to this series in my tbr!!! GAH!

The euphoria of winning a hard case vied in her thoughts with wondering what came next as Haden McCarthy left the Alexandria courthouse.

Beyond Justice by Cara Putman

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:13:01 am

Oh yes!!! It is fabulous!! :D

Nice! I still need to read one of Cara's books too. LOL.

Andrea Stephens
5/26/2017 02:51:04 pm

I have that book on audio, it's so good!

From the prologue of Seven Brides for Seven Mail-Order Husbands Romance Collection
Kansas, 1865
Abigail Melton entered the kitchen to the sight of her mother slumped over the table, a telegram clutched in one hand.

The fictional town of Turtle Springs lost almost all their men to the Civil War.

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:13:50 am

Nice! Yes! Sooo good!

Nice! I just got this one. Looking forward to it!

Great choice! Mine is from The Farmer's Market Mishap by Wanda/Jean Brunstetter. "A bone-chilling wind lashed at the trees, scattering bits of debris across the yard."

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:14:36 am

Oh fun! Some more authors I need to check out!

On my blog is the first line from Irene Onorato’s upcoming release so I have decided to share the first line from a book that’s gotten buried on my kindle entitled Back Home Again by Melody Carlson.

“Thin rays of afternoon sunlight filtered through the leaves of the old maple tree that dominated the front yard of the Howard family home.”

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:15:18 am

Fun! Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful cover and great first line!

Here's mine from a book I just finished reading: Count Me in by Mikal Dawn.

"The little hairs on the back of Allegra Spencer's neck stood at attention."

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:15:48 am

Oooo. Nice! Looking forward to this one too!!

"We rarely know when death will come." LIfe After by Katie Ganshert
So far a very compelling story! Tragic, emotional but I don't want to stop reading!!

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books
5/27/2017 11:16:22 am

Gah! Nice! I am about half way through this one! Sooo good!

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books

I just finished a memoir (?) FAITH TRANSPLANTED by Ray Jones to prepare for the author Q&A I'm hosting at the book's launch party this evening. (YAY!) Told with humor covered by faith, this is Ray's story from illness to transplant list to recovery. "Some days when I first wake up, for a brief moment, I forget what has occurred."

Molly @ Cafinated Reads link

I love the sound of this one. I'm going to have to check this one out. My first line is up on the blog...it's a cozy!
