I've been wanting to read this for ages. Thanks for reminding me!

I've got the first line from "Will Not See" by Chautona Havig over on my blog today. Since it's the second book in the 'Sight Unseen' series, I thought I would share the first line (or two) from the first book in the series, "None So Blind", here:

"Her arm stretched out from beneath the covers. Later, she would admit that in that moment her world changed irrevocably."

Have a great weekend!

You are welcome for the reminder of this book. :) I still need to read some books by this author. Thanks for the reminder too.

Ooh that's a first line that makes me want to know more! :)

I'm featuring "A Name Unknown" by Roseanna M. White on the blog today, but the closest book I have to me right now is "The Writing Desk" by Rachel Hauck.

"This should by night of triumph. To be queen of her world. An acclaimed, best-selling, award-winning author with the literati bowing at her feet."

Happy Friday!

Fun! I love Roseanna's books! I have this one sitting on my TBR pile on my bookshelf. Should be starting it soon!

That first line really makes me want to read the book!
Happy Friday! My first line is from Destitutio by Brett Armstrong, which I am excited to start reading:
“The grisly, grey swirls churned up before Marcus, a thin mask to the merciless heat.”

Hope you get a chance to read this one, Becky! Ooo. :) Hope it is a good one!

That first line!!! Wow...

This weekend I'm reading Kim Vogel Sawyer's "Bringing Maggie Home." I'm a little over halfway and it's such a GREAT read! Here's the first line:
Mid-July 1943
"Hazel set a porcelain cup and saucer on the overturned apple crate in front of her little sister. 'Madam, would you like cream and sugar in your tea?'"

Ohhhh! Fun! I really need to read a Kim Vogel Sawyer novel...!!!

Nice! I have this one to read soon too!! :)

Those words make me sad. I worked in Foster Care for several years. While the words may be true, they often do not portray the full picture. This sounds like a really great book, and one that had the potential to make me cry.
My first line this week is from Vow Unbroken by Caryl McAdoo
"He took the pinch of cotton Sue offered and rubbed it between his short, pudgy fingers."

Sydney @Singing Librarian Books

I agree. Definite potential to cry. Still need to read this one.

Sounds like a good one! Love the "pudgy fingers" description!

I'm currently in the middle of reading Rule of Law by Randy Singer. It's not typically a genre (military/legal) I read, but it's so engaging. Here's the first line:

"They descended like vultures from the C-17 transport plane, silhouettes against a quarter moon in a tar-black sky."

I love the cover and am intrigued by the first line. After reading the description I now want to read this one. Thanks for adding to my TBR ;)
