Ooh, why does Charlotte hate June 16? Guess I need to read to find out. lol.

I'm sharing about "Witness Protection" by Carol Kinsey on the blog today, but I'm going to share the first line from the book I'm currently reading here.

"All of the stories have been written, including mine."

It begs the question, why does she hate that date. Interesting.

I've joined the FLF fun and featured a book on my blog, but I will feature a different one here: After A Fashion by Jen Turano. I haven't started it yet, but it's next on my list of books to read. "Miss Peabody, I do so hate to interrupt your work, but an urgent message has just arrived that requires immediate attention."

Happy Friday!!! My first line is from Mission Undercover by Virginia Vaughan:

"Blake Michaels pulled into the parking lot of Northshore Medical Center and cut the engine."

Well, that's an intriguing first line!

I’m sharing the first line from Lynn Austin’s new release ‘Where We Belong’ on my blog this week, so I’m going to share the first line of the book I just finished here: The Case of the Clobbered Cad by Debra E. Marvin.

“Heather Munro gazed down Victoria Street so long, she became another gray-suited statue along the Royal Mile.”

Have a great weekend!

Happy FLF! I participated this week, too! I shared the first line from All This Time on my blog. Here's a different first line from the book closest to me.

"It took one ten thousandth of a second - exactly 0.000169 seconds - for the bullet to rip through his shoulder." - Crown of Souls by Ronie Kendig

What a fantastic first line. I definitely need to check this book out!!

I’m currently reading An Inconvenient Beauty by Kristi Ann Hunter, and that’s the book I’m doing on my FLF post today, so here I will post the first line from the novel I’m reading next. The next book on my schedule is Rancher to the Rescue by Barbara Phinney.

Proud Bend, Colorado, April, 1883

“Did I read that right?” Clare Walsh peered up from her chair at the Recording Office in Proud Bend, Colorado. She blinked rapidly. “My parents are gone?”

Awesome cover! And a brilliant first line!

I'm sharing from Where We Belong by Lynn Austen on my blog, but I'm currently reading Cardiac Event by Dr. Richard Mabry. Here's the first line:

Dr. Cliff Hamilton watched the bright green lines of the EKG dance across the monitor screen.

I'm finding Cardiac Event is perhaps more medical murder mystery than thriller, but there is plenty of suspense and I'm enjoying it. I'll post a full review on my website next week.
