There are so many wonderful books coming out this season! Where do I begin? I'm excited to pick up several novels in the next coming months--A Borrowed Dream by Amanda Cabot, The Heart's Appeal by Jennifer Delamere, and All for Love: Three Historical Romance Novellas of Love and Laughter are just a few I can name. :) What books are you looking forward to reading this spring?
Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Today I am going to post a line from:
Summer of Promise
by Amanda Cabot
And the fist line is...
Wyoming Territory, June 1885
"There were times when Abigail Harding wished she were an only child."
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!
Hehe. I'm pretty sure she's not the first sibling to feel that way!
ReplyDeleteI'm in historical fiction lover's heaven this week, with the first line from Jocelyn Green's "A Refuge Assured" on my blog, and the first line from Kristy Cambron's "The Lost Castle" below:
"Crumbling walls were rare, beautiful things."
I'll leave you to ponder that thought. :-)
Interesting first line--it makes me think of the Roman ruins in York, England. :) Those sound like wonderful books--happy reading!
DeleteOh, makes me wonder exactly how many siblings she has :).
ReplyDeleteHere's are the first couple lines of a Love Inspired Suspense I finished recently but haven't featured: Her head throbbed and grogginess gripped her. She rocked as if on giant waves. (from Thread of Revenge by Elizabeth Goddard.
Me too! I haven't read a Love Inspired Suspense in so long, but that is a great first line! Happy Thursday!
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteThis week my FLF comes from Still Me by JoJo Moyes.
It was the moustache that reminded me I was no longer in England: a solid, grey millipede firmly obscuring the man’s upper lip; a Village People moustache, a cowboy moustache, the miniature head of a broom that meant business.
Have a great weekend and stay warm!
Oh my goodness! I love the descriptions and comparisons in this first line! Happy Thursday!
DeleteI've often had the same thought! *wink*
ReplyDeleteMarch 1936
A long black train scrapes across Mr. Sutton's fields. - Into the Free by Julie Cantrell
Happy Friday and Happy Reading!
This line reminds me of the scene in Victoria (PBS TV series) where Albert is introducing the train system to his wife. The train is literally cutting through the English countryside. Happy Thursday!
DeleteHehe, Pretty sure almost everyone can relate to that first line!
ReplyDeleteI'm sharing Be the Hands and Feet by Nick Vujicic on my blog today, but the first line that I'll share here is The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano. Loving this book so far!
"Three hours in Saturday night dinner service and she was already running on fumes."
Happy reading! :)
I saw Nick Vujicic interviewed on Home and Family the other day--it was great--such an amazing testimony! Happy Thursday!
DeleteThere has definitely been times I've wished I were an only child myself! :D Great line.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara! Happy Thursday!
DeleteNice cover. On my blog, I'm featuring Serendipity by one of my favorite authors, Cathy Marie Hake. Here, I'd like to share a line from the 30th chapter of The Captivating lady by Carolyn Miller, which is the book I'm currently reading. "The hope filling his heart leaked out the next day when he saw the way Charlotte barely looked at him." May you enjoy a blessed, joyful, and restful weekend.
ReplyDeleteI still have this book in my TBR pile--I loved the first book in this series. Happy Thursday and thank you for the well wishes! :)
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from Kizzie's Kisses by Zina Abbott:
ReplyDelete"Kizzie Atwell felt her breathing become more labored."
Oh my--what is happening?! Great first line! Happy Thursday! :)
DeleteHappy Friday, my friend. Love the first line you shared. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll share the first line from my next book on my TBR pile. "The Lost Castle" by Kristy Cambron. I love her books and will read ANYTHING she writes. :)
"Crumbling walls were rare, beautiful things."
Have a great weekend!
Thanks Savanna! My TBR pile continues to grow...lol. :) Wonderful first line--I told Katie that it reminds me of the Roman ruins in York, England. :) Happy Thursday!
DeleteI loved Summer of Promise. It's a good story!
ReplyDeleteOver on my blog, I'm sharing the first lines from the three novellas in A Night in Grosvenor Square. It's a new Timeless Regency Collection. I'm 1/2 way done, and I'm loving it so much. Currently, I'm starting chapter 5 in the second story, so I'll share that first line here:
"In spite of Anne's attempts to distract herself from thoughts of Davis Whitledge, hours of repetitive work allowed her mind to drift."
I've read one of Amanda Cabot's books, and I'm so excited because the second book in the series comes out in a few months! My goal is to read each of her series. :) Most will know by now, that I love novellas, so this sounds like a wonderful collection! Happy Thursday!
