Happy Friday! My first line is from Robin Mason’s The Silent Song of Winter.

” The sounds of the swamp in winter would scare another person but not me.”

I love that cover!!!

Happy Friday!

Today, I am showcasing Karen Barnett's novel Where the Fire Falls (#2 in her Shadows of the Wilderness series) over on my blog. Here I will share the first lines from chapter 2.

"Clark grunted as he jostled the bags under his arm and clambered up the stairs. At her disposal? First change he got, he'd be setting this little minx straight."

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday!
The book I'm sharing this week on my blog is Grace in Strange Disguise but here I'll share from The Calling of Emily Evans by Janette Oke, which is the book I featured for my Memorable Monday post this week: "Emily Evans lifted a slender hand and pushed back a wisp of wayward brown hair." Have a great weekend! :)

I love that cover!!! I'm currently reading Where the Fire Falls by Karen Barnett. Here are the first couple of lines from chapter 10...
"Clark strode into the Glacier Point Hotel. A burning sensation simmered in his gut, like his best campfire stew straight from the pot."

I'm sharing from a favorite re-read on my blog, but I'll share from my current read here - a novel set in the 1920’s, Ramble and Roar by Catie Cordero:

“I wasn’t looking for death. It found me. That’s what I tell myself.”

Happy Friday!

My blog post today is sharing the first line of The Theory of Happily Ever After by Kristen Billerbeck. I'm currently reading Criss Cross by CC Warrens, which is all suspense:

The ominous sound of something scraping across the cement behind me raised the hairs on the back of my neck.

Have a great weekend!

My first line (plus some)
Lou hoisted up her gown and winced as she tottered across the parking lot. The sparkly four-inch heels had looked so pretty in the box, but they felt like mortar and pestle grinding each bone in her foot. She missed her green Crocs.
THE COOINCIDENCE OF COCONUT CAKE

My first line is from The Road to Magnolia Glen by Pam Hillman:
The LADY GALLANT in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
January 1792
“Keep your brother away from my sister!”

Happy Friday!😎 Oops Saturday! What a gorgeous cover!!

My First Line comes from a book I’m reading now, The Ones We Choose by Julie Clark…..

If loneliness were a color, it would be the deep purple of my eight year old’s shirt as he walks solitary laps around the school track.

Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊📚📚
