First Line Fridays


I have been reading this book for the past week, and it is as wonderful as the first text in the series.  It's always so nice when you can continue reading a tale you love.  Thank you Joanne Bischof for continuing to write these characters' stories!  What series of books have you been enjoying lately?  Let me know in the comments below.  As always, 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: 

  Daughters of Northern Shores  
by Joanne Bischof 



And the first line is...

Prologue 

December 3, 1894 
Eagle Rock, Virginia 

"Aven looped a hand around her husband's strong forearm, holding tight to Thor's steadying strength."  

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. Happy Friday! My first line is from “How the Light Gets In” by Jolina Petersheim:

    “The caskets were closed, of course.”

  2. Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog, I'm sharing the first paragraph from A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/21/first-line-friday-80/. Currently I'm reading Ladies of Intrigue by Michelle Griep, so I'll share a line from there.

    "Mr. Farris and the soldiers thundered off, but despite the danger disappearing into the dark, Helen's heart still beat an irregular tattoo, for Isaac strode toward her."

    Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading! 🙂❤📚

  3. I just read that one recently :)
    On my blog today I shared the first line from When You Are Near by Tracie Peterson: https://thebeccafiles.com/2019/03/22/first-line-friday-53/ but I'm now currently reading The Baggage Handler by David Rawlings so I'll share the first line from my current chapter (4) here: "David corralled his nerves and forced them into one knee, which bounced an erratic dance as he sat in the reception area of Sisyphus Financial's top floor." Hope you have a great weekend!

  4. Beautiful cover! I'm enjoying the Hillbrooke series by Beverly Joy Roberts. Here I will share the first line of the chapter I'm currently on in The Heaven Answer Book by Billy Graham. The question is: Will we grieve for lost loved ones when we are in Heaven? The first line of the answer is: In God's glorious presence, all our concerns and griefs will be erased. Have a wonderful weekend!

  5. Daughters of Northern Shores was such a good book! Today I'm sharing the first line from The Lady of Tarpon Springs by Judith Miller:

    "Zanna Krykos closed her eyes and offered a silent prayer for God's direction."

    Have a great weekend!

  6. I'm sharing the first line from The King's Mercy by Lori Benton on my blog today, and that's what I'm currently reading. It's my first Lori Benton book and I've heard great things about her writing, so I have high expectations!

    Alex MacKinnon roused to the press of wood beneath his cheek and an ominous churning in his gut.

    Have a great weekend!
