First Line Fridays


This week I thought I would highlight a book by someone I grew up watching.  I always loved tuning into Full House when I was a kid, and I desperately wanted Candace Cameron's hair.  Who didn't?!  And yes, I copied her phrase--"Oh Mylanta"--which I have been saying for years.  :) 

Cameron has written several books, but I wanted to showcase her latest work this week.  Make sure you check out her amazing Hallmark movies too.  I especially enjoy the mystery ones.  :)  Happy reading! 

Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  Kind is the New Classy 
by Candace Cameron 



And the first line is...

"Not a day goes by that I'm not thankful for the amazing job I have.  I get to entertain people through comedy, romance, drama and heartfelt storytelling by acting my way through your television screens."  

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!

  1. My first line this week is from Tricia Goyer's A Daring Escape. I don't have a bonus line to share, this week because I borrowed it from my local library and had to take it back yesterday. So, you'll just have to stop by my blog to see the first line! <3

  3. Happy Friday!😎

    My First Line Friday comes from a book I will be reading soon, The Life Lucy Knew by Karma Brown.

    I have a complicated relationship with my memory. Most of us, me included, believe our memories are fairly accurate.

    Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊📚🌼

  4. I love Candace Cameron Bure. I want to read this so bad.

    My first line is from Laura Ingall Wilder’s, “Little House on the Prairie” which I am sharing on the blog today. I’m still currently reading “Just Let Go” so I don’t have an actual first line to share today that isn’t from the blog. 😀

    Happy reading!

  6. I enjoy Candace Cameron Bure on Hallmark. :) She does her job of entertaining well.

    The book I'm sharing this week on my blog is "Before the Apocalypse" by Taylor Jaxon. This is a Young Adult Christian Suspense that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the end. Here, I will share the first line in Chapter Fourteen of that same book: "Sam extended his hand through the doorway of the ivy-covered mansion. An appendage the size of a catcher’s mitt engulfed his palm." Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

The book I'm sharing on my blog today is Cold Shot by Dani Pettrey but it's also the book I'm currently reading so I'll share the first line of my current chapter (12): "'Do you think he followed you there?'

  9. Happy Friday!

    Today’s first lines come from Finding Wicked by Kathryn L. James

    “The day started out like any other, but then I received an email from Cordelia Irwin, the human resources director, and it was tagged urgent.”

    Sounds ominous, doesn’t it!

    I’m featuring lines from Nina Lane’s The Secret Thief on my blog today. I hope you can stop by!
