A book about ice cream? Bring it on!

My choice this week is a little more series - I'm sharing from Magnolia Storms by Janet Ferguson over on my blog today, which is awkwardly timely considering the current state of the weather in the US.

Next on my to-read pile is Unblemished by Sara Ella, which is a bit different to what I usually read. But it's got a great first line:

This is all my fault.
She'll lose her soul because of me.

Okay, so that's two lines. But you can see why I want to keep reading.

I know! Right?!?!?! Magnolia Storms is such a powerful read! And has such an interesting timing with all the natural disasters currently taking place across America.

I am looking forward to reading Sara Ella's books too. :)

From Lisa See’s The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane (not labeled as Christian fiction but it’s the closest book to me other than my Bible in which the first line is “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”.)

“No coincidence, no story,” my a-ma recites, and that seems to settle everything, as it usually does, after First Brother finishes telling us about the dream he had last night.

I think I have heard of this one. Now I am going to have to go double check. Thanks for stopping by!

I want to read this one!

I’m featuring Nicole Deese’s new book, “A New Shade of Summer” on my blog this week, but I’ve FINALLY managed to get around to reading Susan May Warren’s “A Matter of Trust”, and I almost didn’t even want to put it down to do the First Line Friday rounds! But I’ve forced myself to share the first line:

“Gage Watson blamed the trouble on the bright, sunny day.”

Fun! Both those books are on my TBR pile! Enjoy! :)

My first line is going to be the first paragraph because It is short! It’s from These Healing Hills by Ann Gabhart. And her writing has captured me again!
Francine Howard stepped off the bus into another world. She should have been prepared. She’d studied the Frontier Nursing information until she almost knew it by heart. That should have given her a glimpse into this place.

There are sooo many good quotes to glean from this book and I’m only on page 53!

Good to know. I'll have to give this author another try I think...

My first line for today is from Blind Spot by Dani Pettrey. I’ve been waiting since February when I read Still Life for this one to come out and was lucky enough to get an ARC! Here’s the first line:

“Luke crouched behind an orange shipping container, dreading to think what it held.”

So for those who have read the other two books in the Chesapeake Valor series, my first thoughts were “Luke IS alive!!!!!”.

Another fun author! I might be brave enough to try one of her books some day. I'm getting better with suspense books, so we will see! :) Enjoy!

Yummm.... miny chip! This sounds like a fun book to read!
On my blog this week I'm sharing the first line from a book I just finished. The Case of the Clobbered Cad. It was a fun story to read.
I'll share here the first line from a book my son is currently reading.
Tree Tall and the Whiteskins by Shirlee Evans
"Tree Tall crept through the high dew-damp grass along the creek bank. It was early. The sun was not yet over the hill."

I haven't read this author before. Looks interesting.

Great first line...my favorite flavor of ice-cream too. :)

Happy Friday!!

My first line is from For Such a Moment by Marie Wells Coutu:

“Ellen Nielson scanned the large office, seeking a secret corner where she could escape.”

My quote comes from The Pursuit of Lady Harriet by Rachel Anderson. This is book #3 in series. I highly recommend all three novels!

"'How dreadful it would be to live on one's own permanently,' Lady Harriet Cavendish said to no one in particular as she walked through a thick grove of pines in Askern, Yorkshire."

As if a rogue summer wind had suddenly swept over the cobblestone plaza, the door to Fry Me a Sliver flew open with a bang.
