This week I decided to highlight another classic. Mostly because I just finished watching this beloved story again. This film is so incredible, and a fun fact to remember is that this movie was released at the same time as The Wizard of Oz. What are some of your favorite old movies? Let me know if the comments below! Happy reading friends!
Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Today I am going to post a line from:
by Margaret Mitchell
And the first line is...
"Scarlet O'Hara was not beautiful, but men seldom realized it when caught by her charm as the Tarleton twins were. In her face were too sharply blended the delicate features of her mother, a Coast aristocrat of French descent, and the heavy ones of her florid Irish father."
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating!
Happy Friday! My first line is from "When He Returns" by author Kimberly Rae Jordan, which I haven't started, but hope to start reading soon:
ReplyDeletePrologue
"Dalton Callaghan stared at the gleaming wood casket at the front of the chapel, the profile of his friend just barely visible over the edge as he lay there."
Happy Friday Becky! Have a great weekend!
DeleteI'm so very glad today is Friday! It has been a long week! Over on my blog, I'm sharing the first line from Michelle Griep's new book, The Noble Guardian. Here I'll share the first line of a book that is on my #TBR mountain.
ReplyDelete"Tommy, wait!" Carly Blair screeched as she bounded off the depot platform after her brother.

I can't wait to read The Noble Guardian--it's on my Kindle! :) Happy Friday Trisha!

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I am sharing the first couple of lines from The Printed Letter Bookshop by Katherine Reay. It's a fabulous story that I highly recommend. Currently, I am just starting Wooing Cadie McCaffrey by the fantastic Bethany Turner so I will share a line from that book.
"What a difference four years can make."
I hope your weekend is a great one. Happy reading! 🤗💙📚
Thanks Nicole! I'm currently reading The Printed Letter Bookshop too. :) Happy Friday!

ReplyDeleteOn my blog today I shared the first line from Living Lies by Natalie Walters. Here I'll hare the first line from The Heart of a King by Jill Eileen Smith which I just received in the mail yesterday :) "The teacher looked at his scroll, light dancing in little ringlets over the words from the flickering candle at his side." Hope you have a great weekend! Happy Reading!
Thanks Becca! It's always so lovely to receive book mail. :) Happy Friday!
DeleteI admit, I've never actually read this one. I have seen the movie, though.
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog, I’m sharing the first line from The Social Tutor by Sally Britton. Here, I’ll share the line from the top of the page I’m currently reading:
In the dark, he had to imagine her expression, though he thought it must be one of eagerness, likely with one of her larger smiles curving her pink lips upward.
I looked these books up, and apparently I have the first book in the series on my Kindle. :) Can't wait to read them! Happy Friday Kathleen!
DeleteHappy Friday! Today I'm sharing the first lines from The Crossing at Cypress Creek by Pam Hillman:

Oh goodness, what were his surroundings? Such intrigue! Happy Friday Jolene!
DeleteHappy Friday! I'm sharing from The Cowboy Meets His Match by Margaret Brownley on my blog today. Here is the first line from Chapter 12 of my current read, Becoming Mrs. Lewis by Patti Callahan:
ReplyDelete"The second day in Oxford arrived, luminescent, the honey-hues of sunlight falling from the leaves to settle on the grass like spilled paint."
I loved Becoming Mrs. Lewis--such a great book! Happy Friday Yvette!
