Today I'm posting a line from

The White City
by Grace Hitchcock

book 1 in the True Colors American Crime Series.

My First Line:

Chicago, July 1893

Winnifred Wylde concentrated on his forehead, nodding, trying to respond appropriately, but it was so difficult with his nose hair escaping and retreating into his left nostril with every breath.

Happy Friday!

Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Carolyn Miller: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/14/first-line-friday-79/. I am really enjoying the story! I am currently in the middle of chapter 19, so I will leave a line from that chapter.

"Gideon waited in the drawing room, not daring to sit down, not daring to pace as he'd like to, in case the stoic footman at the door see him and make a fuss. What was taking her so long?"

Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! 🙂💜📚

Today on my blog I shared the first line from Fated by Teri Terry but I'm currently reading Dead Letter by Chautona Havig. I just started so I'll share the first line from chapter 2 where I currently am: "Hard benches, spartan furnishings, packed conditions---though she'd purchased a second-class ticket as instructed, Madeline couldn't help but feel like she'd gotten little better than emigrant car accommodations." Hope you have a great weekend! Spring is in the air! :)

Today I'm sharing the first line from The Memory House by Rachel Hauck:

"She was never afraid of the dark. But the light? Now that terrified her."

Have a great weekend!

Happy Friday and weekend! My first line is from “KNOX: The Montana Marshalls” by Susan May Warren

Happy Friday! Over on my blog I’m sharing from the first book in Robin Patchen’s Beauty in Flight trilogy. This is the first line from the second book, Beauty in Hiding:

Oh my goodness, what a first line! Lol!

I've shared the first line from Crystal Walton's "Romancing the Conflicted Cowboy" on my blog, but since I'm reading Carolyn Miller's "A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh" right now, I'll share the first line of the scene I'm up to (in chapter 5):

Gideon looked up from the specimen and almost dropped it.

Have a great weekend :-)
