First Line Fridays -- Paper Hearts

1/26/2018

Today I am going to post a line from

Paper Hearts
by Courtney Walsh.

My First Line:

"I can't believe she did this to me again." Abigail Pressman stared at the computer screen in disbelief.

I've read and loved a couple of Courtney Walsh's novels (and am anxiously waiting for the next!), but I seem to have missed this one. Thanks for sharing!

I'm sharing the first line from Aint Misbehaving by Marji Laine on my blog. I'm currently reading My Sister's Prayer by Mindy Starns Clark and Leslie Gould. It's the middle book in a trilogy and I really shouldn't have read the third book first, because it did ruin some of the big-picture suspense. Here's the first line:

The cry for help came as I was coasting toward the bicycle rack at the far end of the story.

This was the book that introduced me to Courtney Walsh and I loved it so much that I had to read more from her.

The first line on my blog is from a novel by Michelle Griep, The Captive Heart. Here, I will share the first line of Chapter 5 from the book I'm currently reading, The Captivating Lady Charlotte by Carolyn Miller "It was entirely possible that the excitement of last month's come-out ball was about to be surpassed."

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday! (What's left!) My first lines (sorry, but I included the 2nd) is from These Healing Hills by Ann H. Gabhart:

"Francine Howard stepped off the bus into another world. She should have been prepared."

My first line is from a book but Andrea Boeshaar: My Heat Belongs in the Shenandoah Valley. Part of the first page fourth paragraph down.

A light breeze cooled the sudden perspiration on Mac’s brow. The war was over. Besides, Father was counting on him to make something of himself— prove the gossips wrong— in this new land in the Shenandoah Valley.

Happy Friday!

Over on my blog I am showcasing Naomi Rawlings's novel Love's Bright Tomorrow. Here I will share the first line from the novel I am currently reading, Mary and Bright by Shannon Graupman.

"Mary Bradford's heart raced as she sat on the edge of her king sized bed -- her gaze affixed on the single white sheet of paper resting on the nightstand."

I'm sharing the first line from Susie Finkbeiner's second Pearl Spence novel, A Trail of Crumbs, on my blog. Here is the first line from the third novel, A Song of Home:

"It was no surprise to me that I'd lost track of time."

Happy Friday!

What a great read!

My current first line is from Cathy Gohlke's Until We Find Home: "Lightning crackled, splitting the night sky over Paris, illuminating letters painted on the bookstore window across the street: La Maison des Amis des Livres."
