I haven't read Soul's Cry, but I have an interview with the author coming up on my blog. I love the cover!

My first line today is from the book I'm currently reading, Embracing Hope by Janell Butler Wojtowicz:

Drew McKinley twisted he gold wedding band around and around his finger then made a tight fist.

I'm looking forward to reading it.

Great first line! This book's caught my eye several times now.

I've got the first line from Ronie Kendig's "Crown of Souls" - Tox! 😍 - on my blog today, but I'm going to share the first line from the book I just finished reading, Tamera Alexander's "To Wager Her Heart":

Alexandra Jamison had always wanted a sister.

I'm sharing about "The Day the Angels Fell" by Shawn Smucker on my blog today, but I'm going to share the first line from the book I'm currently reading, "Under Fire" by Linda Shenton Matchell.

"Ruth Brown swiped the perspiration beads off her upper lip as her's sister's vacant coffin dropped into the ground with a dull thud."

My first line on my blog is from Lori Benton's newest release, 'Many Sparrows'. So as not to spoil the surprise of that line, I'll share a first line of a book my son is reading.

I'm not familiar with that author, but the first line sounds intriguing!

Happy Friday! My first line (sorry but actually two lines) is from Outlaw Angel by Miralee Ferrell:

"Angel Ramirez woke with a start, her heart pounding a rolling beat in her chest. Someone was in her room."

My first line is coming from the next book I'm hoping to read (okay, honest truth, I've already started it but have set it aside a week or two).

I just got this book. Can't wait to read it. Love that first line.

I am currently reading Many Sparrows by Lori Benton. What an AMAZING book. My first line comes from chapter two:

"Clare Margaret Inglesby, twenty-six years of age and eight months with child, wondered how she'd come to this: trapped in a jolting wagon advancing into perilous wilderness" (5).
