Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from

The Two of Us
by Victoria Bylin.

My First Line:

Mia Robinson couldn't take her eyes off the man in a cowboy hat working a claw-machine game, the kind where a child--or a boyfriend or father--put in a dollar and tried to grab a toy in thirty seconds or less.

I keep hearing that this book is an awesome read!

I’m sharing about Isaiah’s Daughter by Mesu Andrews on the blog today, but here I’m going to share the first line from The Esther Paradigm by Sarah Monzon.

Prologue
Hannah Pratt stared out across the grainy hills as the wind blew a gentle kiss over the crest.

Chapter 1
Hannah
This was not how I’d thought I would die.

Happy Friday!

Victoria's book is on my tbr!
Here’s the first line from my next read:
“Fowltown Village, Georgia
Big Chestnut Moon (October) 1817
Captain Marcus Buck dropped to one knee beside an Indian’s crumpled form and swept a hand down her face, lowering her lids over sightless eyes.”
Drawn by the Frost Moon: Bitter Eyes No More by April W. Gardner

Happy Friday!

I am showcasing Embracing Hope by Janell Butler Wojtowicz this week, so I will post the first line from the book I plan to read after I finish Embracing Hope.

"This is for them. This is for the magic. This is for every little dreamer in the room. Dozens of little awestruck faces crowded the large studio as I took position to practice my Sugar Plum Fairy solo."

So, a little more than one line, but I really like the image this creates of cute little ballerinas excited to see a performance. This comes from A Season to Dance by Patricia Beal.

I loved The Two of Us. It grabbed me with that first line and never let go.

I'm sharing from The Dishonourable Miss DeLancy over on my blog, but I'm currently reading The Captive Brides collection. I've just started Waltzing Matilda by Lucy Thompson. Here's the first line:

Matilda Brampton took one more look at the walls of the Parramatta Female Factory and vowed it would be her last.

I've read other books by her and really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing this one. :) Here's my first line...

“I’m not ready for this.” - Unraveling by Sara Ella.

Have a great weekend!

I loved this book!
I am currently reading, Behind the Scenes by Jen Turano
"Pressing her nose against the glass of the carriage window, Miss Permilia Griswold felt her stomach begin to churn as she took note of the throngs of people lining Fifth Avenue."

This book sounds interesting. I could actually picture myself in her shoes. I’m featuring A Most Peculiar Circumstance by Jen Turano on my blog, but here I will share the first line from a novel I recently published called Reluctant To Wed. “Sitting in her grandfather’s traveling coach, Emma suddenly felt the impact of her decision.”

On my page I shared the first line from Heather Day Gilbert's "God's Daughter" a fantastic story rich in viking history. I would highly recommend the book to anyone who enjoys Historical Fiction.

I'll share here an old favorite of mine "Heidi"
From the old and pleasantly situated village of Mayenfeld, a footpath winds through green and shady meadows to the food of the mountains, which on this side look down from their stern and lofty heights upon the valley below.

The honorable Clara DeLancey stood atop the chalky cliffs. Above her, heavy clouds menaced the moon, revealing then concealing the scene below.
From The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey by Carolyn Miller.

Only half done with this one but it is turning out to be just as good as the other two in the series!
