My First Line:

Northumberland, 1543

Margaret lay on the ground with her eyes closed.  That was her first mistake.

Ooh, I like the sound of this! I'll have to check it out.

I'm featuring the first line from Carolyn Miller's latest release, The Making of Mrs Hale, over on my blog today, but at the moment I'm reading Jerusalem's Queen by Angela Hunt:

"They are all here, gathered like vultures around my bed, watching with long faces and occasionally bending near to listen for my breathing."

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday! On my blog, I’m featuring a Christmas novel by Kit Morgan called, The Christmas Mail Order Bride. Here, I will share the first line from a book I’m currently reading called How To Market Your Book by Joanna Penn. “Ask most authors about book marketing and they will roll their eyes.” Have a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like a fantastic read!

Happy Friday!

Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from The Liberty Bride by Marylu Tyndall. I'm very excited to get into that book. Because I am just starting this novel, I will post the first two lines from chapter 2.

"Captain's orders. You and Mrs. Keate stay here until it's safe."

Hope you have an excellent weekend filled with fantastic reading time! 😃❤️📚

Happy Friday!
On my blog this week I'm sharing Swimming in the Deep End by Christina Suzann Nelson but I'm currently reading The House Girl by Tara Conklin so I'll share the first line of my current chapter (there's no chapter #s) here: "Do her eyes accuse you?" Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time!

Love the cover! My first line comes from yesterday's book mail -- Dead Sea Rising by Jerry Jenkins. "'It's your mother,' Nicole Berman's father said over the phone."

Since Nicole and I are reading the same book, I’ll go with the real first line of The Liberty Bride by Marylu Tyndall:
The Atlantic Ocean off the Coast of Virginia August 6, 1814

What would it feel like to drown…to float listlessly down…down…beneath the chilled waters of the Atlantic?

Happy Weekend! My first line is from "Looking Glass Lies" by Varina Denman:

"I woke up in the middle of the night in our cavernous walk-in closet. Again."
