Louise Smythe spotted her quarry and motioned her student to follow her across the sand dune.

I'm sharing about Land of Silence by Tessa Afshar on my blog today, but I'll share a book that is on my TBR here.

"Come on, come on. I know you're here somewhere," Magdalena Henry murmured, squinting through the viewfinder of her camera at the ragged line of coffee pickers sorting their day's yield.

There is a place in Michigan called Singapore? Weird! Not that I should comment - apparently there are two towns in the US called Iola.

I'm sharing from The House on Foster Hill by Jamie Jo Wright on my blog, but had to put it down because nighttime and suspense and a need to sleep. So I'm currently reading something a little lighter: Holding the Fort by Regina Jennings. Here's the first line:

The fumes of the gaslights at the foot of the stage protected Louisa Bell from the more noxious odors of her audience.

Just the kind of lighthearted read I enjoy! The weather forecast for the weekend is looking bright and sunny, so I'm planning to get back into The House on Foster Hill when the sun comes out :)

I can't wait to start that book!

Happy Friday!

My 1st line is from Shattered Memories by Debbie Lynne Costello:

"Why can't you have him arrested and demand our money back?"

I love that cover! My current first line is from Julie Lessman's For Love of Liberty - "Abominable." :)

The first line of the book I'm currently reading is from another Love Inspired Historical book. "Who am I?" From His Forgotten Fiancee by Evelyn M. Hill

Have a great weekend!

I am sharing the first line from the YA Christian Dystopian novel All Things Now Living by Rondi Bauer Olson on my blog. Here I will post the first two lines from the novel I am starting next, Count Me In by Mikal Dawn:

"The little hairs on the back of Allegra Spencer's neck stood at attention. He was behind her."
