I wanted to highlight one more Christmas book this month; however, it is very possible that I will talk about other Christmas stories throughout the year. :) Sometimes it is just lovely to read an uplifting Christmas tale in March. I hope that all of you had a lovely Christmas! Happy reading and Happy New Year!
Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Today I am going to post a line from:
Thomas KinKades' Cape Light: A Christmas Secret
by Katherine Spencer
And the first line is...
Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 22, 2018
"Martin heard the siren coming up behind his car well before he saw the flashing lights."
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!
My first line is from Chapter 16 of Flights of Fancy by Jen Turano:
ReplyDeleteCatching the biscuits on fire was most assuredly not the best way of honoring her promise to keep the house from burning to the ground.
I just purchased this book--can't wait to read it! Happy New Year Paula!
DeleteHow fun! Kinkade is one of my favorite painters. His depiction of light is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI agree Beckie--his paintings are so beautiful. Happy New Year!
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from "Through the Shadows" by Karen Barnett:
ReplyDelete"Elizabeth King held her fingers against the ivory keys, refusing to stir as the final chord faded and silence descended on the parlor."
Beautiful first line--piano music. :) Happy New Year Becky!
DeleteHappy Friday and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMy first lines come from Home For Christmas by Holly Chamberlin.....
It was the eleventh of December, a crisp winter day with not a cloud in the sky to threaten rain or snow. Nell King shivered as she came down the stairs from the second floor and into the living room.
Have a great weekend and happy reading!😊🎆💕
I still have a few more Christmas books to read. :) Happy New Year Susan!
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I'm sharing the first paragraph from A Bound Heart by Laura Frantz. I'm currently on chapter 12, so I'll leave the first line from there.
"Lark smiled as the long-awaited bairn made his entry into the rain-washed July day."
It's such a good book!
Hope you have a great day and a wonderful weekend full of rest and good reading time! 😀❤📚
Thanks Nicole! Happy New Year !
DeleteI love still seeing Christmas novels! On my blog, I'm featuring The Christmas Bride. I know Christmas is over, but this book was really good, I just had to share it. It's about the Moravian community that I knew next to nothing about. It's a fascinating love story. Here, I will share the first line of Chapter 29 of that same novel. "Catherine heard the savage Indians long before she saw them." I wish you a wonderful weekend to relax and read.
ReplyDeleteNo worries, I read Christmas books throughout the year. :) Happy New Year Anneliese!
DeleteSorry I'm a bit late coming around this week again! On my blog I featured With This Pledge by Tamera Alexander but I'm currently reading The Teacher's Bride by Kathleen Fuller so I'll share that first line here: "I can't believe she came here without letting us know ahead of time." Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Becca! Happy New Year!
