Today I'm posting a line from

This is book 1 in the Once Upon a Dickens Christmas Series.

My First Line:

The First Day
December 24, 1850

Christmas or not, there was nothing merry about the twisted alleys of Holywell.

I have just been introduced to author Stacey Weeks, and am excited to start reading her book “Mistletoe Melody”. Here is the first line:

I would like to read this series.

I am showcasing the book `Shadows of Deception` (Ashley Dawn) on my blog,

So here I'll put the first line of a non-fiction book I am reading.

Next Level Thinking (Joel Osteen)

So often we let our environment, how we were raised, and other people's expectations of us set the limits for our life.

Happy Friday!
This week on my blog I'm sharing from I know the Plans by Melissa Wardwell but it's also my current read so I'll share the first line from chapter 8 where I'm currently at: "So how are things going?" Hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!

On my blog, I'm sharing the first couple of lines from Silent Days, Holy Night by Phyllis Clark Nichols. I'm just starting chapter 2 now, so I'll post the first lines from there.

"'Since I can't go to Grancie's today, could I go tomorrow?' I didn't think Dad was looking, so I took another sugar cube and stirred it into my tea."

Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 😀❤📚

Happy Friday! I'm sharing from Georgette Heyer's Envious Casca on my blog today, but here's the first line from the next Heyer book I'll be reading, Why Shoot a Butler?:

"The signpost was unhelpful."

I am about to start Searching for You by Jody Hedlund.

New York City, September 1859

Sophie Neumann nuzzled her nose against Danny’s chest.
His arms tightened around her possessively. “ You’re my girl now. A Bowrey Girl.”
