Today I am going to post a line from:
To Follow Her Heart
by Rebecca Demarino
And the first line is...
July 16, 1664
Southhold, Long Island
"'Did you hear me?' Patience Terry stood silent, her mind awhirl. Had she not guarded her heart against this day?"
The first line did not give quite enough information, so I decided to include the second line as well. :)
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Sometimes that second line is just necessary lol! Welcome to the FLF crew, Heather :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! :) Thanks Carrie!
DeleteI have this one sitting on my shelf waiting to be read! :D
ReplyDeleteMy first line:
Cactus Creek, Texas
Saturday, March 31, 1888
"You'd think after all this time I'd be over him."
Cactus Creek Challenge by Erica Vetsch
I'm definitely hooked by that one line, Sydney! :)
DeleteHello Heather!
ReplyDeleteASPEN RIDGE
DAKOTA TERRITORY/IDAHO TERRITORY BORDER
AUGUST 1866
Matt Tucker could take people for only so long and then he had to get up in the mountains, all the way up where he was more likely to run into a golden eagle than a man. - Now & Forever (Wild At Heart Book 2) by Mary Connealy
Hi Caryl! Nice to meet you! This book looks great--I told Sydney that I thought my book collection would grow after reading all these first lines. :)
Delete"Miss Arabella Beckett had always been proud of the fact she'd never ended up in jail. She could no longer make that claim." From A Most Peculiar Circumstance by Jen Turano
ReplyDeleteWow...that sounds really interesting. It reminds me of when Anna from Downton Abbey found herself going to jail--wrongly accused.
DeleteI'm excited to find you with the other lovely bloggers, Heather,! Right now I'm reading Finding Margo, and the first line is, "In the heat of the summer, under a dark sky of a moonless night, three Amish children disappeared from their bed, never to be seen again."
ReplyDeleteThanks Janet! I'm so excited to be a part of this lovely series! That book sounds so interesting--definitely mysterious.
DeleteHi Heather, welcome to our First Line Friday fun. Sorry I'm running late today, I took advantage of having my hubby home and doing some Christmas shopping.
ReplyDeleteMy first line comes from The Wedding Shop by Rachel Hauck
April 1930 Heart's Bend, Tennessee
The morning began like every other weekday, with Cora making her way up the back walk to the shop, unlocking the door and clicking on the lights.
Thanks Andie! I love Christmas shopping! And it is so much more fun when you have someone to share it with. I love reading all of these first lines--my book collection will definitely be growing.
DeleteSO excited you are joining us Heather!!! My first line: "Pine Creek, Washington, 1891 - Killing Edward Stevens was beyond her proper ways." From One Plus One Equals Trouble by Sondra Kraak
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel! Me too! All of these first lines to these books are marvelous--my to-be-read list is going to grow.
DeleteI'm a day late but wow, it's been a crazy week!
ReplyDelete"Kacey didn't want to raise eyebrows and alert the entire town to her return." - Wild Montana Skies by Susan May Warren
No worries Beth-so nice to meet you! This sounds like an excellent book.
