I know it might be a bit early to mention--but I love Christmas books! In fact, someone commented on my blog last week about a Christmas novella she was currently reading. :) That sounds like a wonderful plan and story to me.
The book I picked to highlight this week is one I just purchased, and I can't wait to read it! I thought we could look at the first story in the book this week. 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:
Christmas Stitches: A Historical Romance Collection
by Judith Miller, Nancy Moser, and Stephanie Grace
And the first line is...
September 1888
"Hannah Cooper fumbled with the buttons of her gray wool jacket while making a rushed entry into the Pullman Arcade."
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!

Marty followed her husband to the front door, keeping enough distance between them to prevent bumping her knee against the bulky suitcase that hung from his hand.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Happy reading!
Wow, that sounds incredible interesting! Are they coming or leaving?! Happy reading Rebecca!

ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from Killer Classics by Kym Roberts......
“Sugar did it.” Sugar’s mouth dropped open, and her eyes nearly popped out of her head at Reba Sue’s accusation. “Sugar didn’t kill anyone,” Leila argued. “The woman traps scorpions at the bar and releases them outside.” Leila shuddered, her round body jiggling from head to toe. “Stupid critters belong under a boot heel.”
Have an awesome weekend and happy reading!💕📚💕
Oh my! Happy reading Susan!

Thanks Nicole! I read and reviewed the first book in Austin's series, so I need to add this book to my reading list. :) Happy reading!
DeleteThese novella collections from Barbour are such fun reads! I’m sharing from an upcoming read, The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck, over on my blog today. Here are the first lines from the prologue, set during the American Revolution:
ReplyDelete“He must finish. He must. Stumbling, he fell to the damp earth of the maple swamp with the click-slap of musket fire ringing through the cold dew, his breath billowing.”
Happy Friday!
I completely agree Yvette. :) I've read a couple of books by Rachel Hauck, and they were excellent! Happy reading!

Here I will share the first line from the book I'm currently reading, "The Unwanted Suitor" by Michelle Pennington. There is a prologue, but I'll share the first line from Chapter 1.
