Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have had a great start to 2017. Can you believe that the second week of this year is almost over? I remember when I was younger people would tell me that time does fly, which of course I never understood. Waiting for Christmas always seemed to take a lifetime; however, as I get older, I see how true those words are. Let us all make sure we take the time to cherish each and every day and every moment the Lord gives to us.
It's time for another first line, and this week my first line comes from Kit Kat and Lucy by Lonnie Hull DuPont. This is a non-fiction book that I will be reviewing on my blog soon--so stay tuned! As always, please be sure to check out the book lines from these other amazing bloggers too:
Carrie from Reading is My SuperPower
Sydney from Singing Librarian
Rachel from Bookworm Mama
Beth from Faithfully Bookish
Andi from Radiant Light
Katie from Fiction Aficionado

And the first line is...
You will always by lucky if you know how to make friends with strange cats. Colonial American Proverb
"To say moving from San Francisco to rural Michigan was not easy for me would be an understatement."
Happy reading and happy Friday!
My first line is: "Heavy metal music blared through paper-thin walls." From Time Search by Danele J. Rotharmel
ReplyDeleteThe author used amazing descriptive words in this sentence. :)
DeleteThis week my first line comes from The Bomber War: The Allied Air Offensive Against Nazi Germany by Robin Neillands "This is the story of a machine." I haven't started it yet, but looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading historical pieces, and this sounds like a very interesting historical text. Are you going to review it? Let me know what you think!
DeleteWiltshire, England--1867
ReplyDeleteAmala sat on a particularly uncomfortable chair at the edge of the crowded and stuffy ballroom.
~Color of Love by Anita Stansfield
Well, because this book is set in England, I am sure it will be a lovely book. :) And I love the first line!
Delete"They share the truth of an experience that only those who were there can truly know. As part of a regiment of southwestern cowpunchers, Oklahoma Indians, Ivy League football stars, and champion polo players, they had faced death boldly and defeated the enemy.
ReplyDeleteThey had been Rough Riders."
Rough Riders: Theodore Roosevelt, His Cowboy Regiment, and the Immortal Charge Up San Juan Hill by Mark Lee Gardner.
Happy Friday!!!
Wow! Those are a couple of intense, striking lines. Have you ever watched Blue Bloods? The police commissioner, played by Tom Selleck, loves Teddy Roosevelt. He quotes him periodically throughout the show.
DeleteI just finished Rescue Me by Susan May Warren.
ReplyDeleteSam wouldn't lose another kid on his watch.
I just got an email about this book! :) Did you write a review for it? I noticed there was a book that came before this one--Wild Montana Skies.
DeleteSo... I'm not a cat person (my dog would disown me) but that first line helped "unstump" me on some interview questions I was trying to come up with LOL. Thank you :D
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! :)
DeleteWell, my husband will always be lucky then. Cat's love him on first sight!
ReplyDeleteMy first line this week is from Kristi Ann Hunter's 'A Noble Masquerade':
“It is never a happy day when an eight-year-old girl's cheesecake lands in the dirt, and she certainly doesn't take kindly to the laughing little boy who put it there.”
Ugh! I just apostrophised a plural!
DeleteI'm going to need therapy now...
I have this book waiting on my bookshelf to be read. I read An Elegant Façade, which was wonderful--I have a review of this book on my blog. And I just purchased An Uncommon Courtship--so happy to have the entire set! No worries on the typo--we all make typo mistakes. :)
