First Line Fridays

One of the books highlighted last week on First Line Fridays was a new book by Carrie Turansky.  It comes out next spring, and I cannot wait to read it!  There are so many books coming out within the next year--how many new books are you already adding to your Goodreads list? 

Even during the rainy weather, I was at the library this week, and I confess it has been ages since I have checked out a book.  Typically I buy all of my books...love Kindle deals and used bookstores.  :)  In fact, I go to a lot of used book sales at the library, and in doing so I forget I can check out books.  I know that sounds really silly, but in college all I ever did was check out research and academic books.  As an English major, I already owned all of the classic novels.  So it was so nice to browse the shelves the other day looking for new books.

Tucked away on one of the lower shelves, I saw this book by Turansky, and decided I would read it as I wait for her new book to come out.  It is set in England, so that is all I needed to know.  :)  As always, please be sure to check out the book lines from these other amazing bloggers too:

Today I am going to post a line from:

The Governess of Highland Hall 

by Carrie Turansky

And the first line is...

October 1911 

Berkshire, England 

"Julia Foster lifted her gaze to the clear October sky as a lark swooped past.  Her steps slowed and her thoughts took flight, following the bird as it dipped into the golden trees beyond the meadow."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!
