First Line Fridays -- Road to Rosewood

4/27/2018

Today I'm posting a line from

Road to Rosewood
by Ashtyn Newbold

My First Line:

Dover, England
Summer 1811

"Thought you would be better at piquet," I said, raising my eyes above a perfectly fanned hand of cards.

The book I'm sharing on my blog is Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate, but the book I'll share here is the one I am currently reading called Chateau of Secrets by Melanie Dobson: "Candlelight flickered on the medieval walls as Gisele Duchant stepped into the warmth of the nave." Hope you have a great weekend! :)

What a gorgeous cover! And another one to add to my never-ending TBR pile which already includes The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristin Billerbeck. The first line: “Life is filled with irony.”

Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm featuring "Beneath a Prairie Moon" by Kim Vogel Sawyer on the blog today, but I'm going to share about the book I'm currently reading called "The Story Peddler" by Lindsay A. Franklin.

Colored ribbons of light poured from my fingers. One strand broke free and soared above the crowd's head, glowing golden in the afternoon sun.

Have a great weekend and happy reading! :)

Happy Friday!!!! I'm so excited for the weekend.

I'm sharing the first line from The Weaver's Daughter by Sarah E. Ladd over on my blog today. Here, I will post the first line from a YA novel I teach to my 9th Honors English students -- Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin,

"The end came quickly, and there wasn't any pain."

Happy Friday! My first line is from Miss Wilton's Waltz by Josi S. Kilpack, which will be released May 1st:

"As a vicar's daughter, Lenora knew that doing the right thing was not always easy, in fact it was rarely so."

What a beautiful cover! And Regency ... one of my favourite historical periods. Thanks for the heads-up!

Over on my blog I'm sharing from Where Hope Begins by Catherine West ... which I finished about four hours after starting it.

I'm now reading A Daring Venture by Elizabeth Camden. Here's the first line of the Prologue:

"You and your brother are to go to the music room, close the door, and don't come out until I say you can."

Have a great weekend!

I’m sharing from my current read, The Backcountry Brides Romance Collection from Barbour Books, on my blog today. So here is the first line from the prologue of a book I plan to read soon, The Lost Castle by Kristy Cambron:

“Crumbling walls were rare, beautiful things.”

Have a great weekend!
