Today I am going to post a line from

Finding Beauty in the Beast
by Jessilyn Stewart Peaslee

GOODREADS | AMAZON

My First Line:

A beast. That was what they called her.

So I cheated a little and shared the first TWO sentences. But I just had to continue... This has been one of my all time favorite reads so far this year and I would highly recommend it!! Beauty and the Beast retelling with a fabulous twist!!

What are you reading? What is your first line?
Open the book nearest you and post the first line in the comments below...

Then head on over to Hoarding Books and link up!
And then hop around the linky.

Sounds intriguing!

I have the first line from Sondra Kraak's new release, Three Words and a Kiss, on my blog today, but right now I'm going to share the first two lines from my current read, 'Justice' by Emily Conrad, which releases on 9 March:

"Snow floated onto Main Street, each flake large enough to catch the breeze like a parachute. A miniature army, launching a surprise invasion on March first."

Have a great weekend!

That's quite an endorsement now I'm going to check out this one!

I plan to start The Innkeeper's Daughter by Michelle Griep this weekend, so I'll share the first line from that book.

"Numbers would be the death of Johanna Langley."

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!

I love fairy tales and their variants. I am always on the lookout for a new novelized version of fairy tales. I will definitely check this book out asap!

Today I am showcasing the first line from Michelle Griep's newest novel, The Innkeeper's Daughter. I am loving the book. It is a page turner, and the hero is wonderful. I am just starting chapter 18, so I will share the first line from that chapter here:

"Johanna opened the door to chaos, then stood there, jaw agape."

I've seen that book and have considered buying it. So glad you shared it and your opinion. I'll have to look into it. Happy Friday! The book I'm sharing on my blog is an old one: The Knight and the Dove by Lori Wick. Here, I will share Love on the Mend by Karen Witemeyer, "Peace and quiet. That's all he sought." Have a wonderful weekend.

Sounds like an interesting twist on the familiar tale!

Here's the first line from the book I'm currently reading, Change of Heart by Courtney Walsh:

Evelyn Brandt stood in her kitchen, the sound of uptight laughter filtering in from the dining room.

It's excellent!

I’m sharing from Karen Barnett’s The Road to Paradise on my blog today, so here I’ll share the first line from another book I hope to read soon, The Alliance by Jolina Petersheim:

“Buffered by grassland, the collision is strangely quiet.”

Happy Friday!

The smack of the baseball against an aluminum bat sounded like summer.

This book sounds super interesting, and I am always ok with someone sharing the first two lines! :)
