I've only read a couple of Sara M. Eden's books but really enjoyed them. Maybe I'll get to these others someday (when my TBR isn't so out of control. A girl can dream, right?).

My current read happens to be in the vein of the St. Patrick's Day theme:

Brandi's head throbbed. The hateful words still sizzled in her ears as the front door brushed open. (Finding Evergreen by Jennifer Rodewald)

Have a fantastic weekend!

I love the cover--I used to play the violin. :) Wow...what an opening statement! Happy Friday!

Happy Friday! My first line is from At Home with Daffodils by Paula Moldenhauer:

"Not again!"

Though I’m sharing a book with an Irish hero, The Promise of Breeze Hill by Pam Hillman, on my blog today, here’s the first line of an audiobook I’ve borrowed from the library on a friend’s recommendation, The Bookshop on the Corner (or, in the UK, The Little Shop of Happily Ever After) by Jenny Colgan:

“The problem with good things that happen is that very often they disguise themselves as awful things.”

Happy Friday!

Love that cover!

Happy Friday!

Today at my blog, I am sharing the first lines from Jennifer Delamere's latest novel, The Heart's Appeal. It's such a great book!

Here I will share the first lines from my next-up book, Finding Evergreen by Jennifer Rodewald. This is my first read of this author's works, but I am very excited!!!

Pretty covers!

Ty Remington blamed the homemade orange marmalade cake for why he found himself huddled under an overhang off some faraway path in Glacier National Park, shivering, praying he might live through the night.

I don't think I've read anything by Sara Eden, but I love those covers,and that's the kind of first line that makes me want to keep reading.

I'm sharing the first line from A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal on my blog today, but I'll share here from the book I'm currently reading: A Chance at Forever by Melissa Jagears:

"I wish you luck, George."
"It's Aaron now. Don't forget."

Have a great weekend!

Oh dear. This is the second first line post I have seen where sisters don't come out too well!

Here is the opening from my favourite story for you: "All children, except one, grow up." Have a great week.
