Goodness gracious! I completely forgot that today was Friday--I thought it was Thursday--I've just been a day behind all week! Thankfully, I saw everyone's FLF posts on Twitter. :) So, very quickly, let me introduce you to another 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:
The Truth about Miss Ashbourne
by Joanna Barker
And the first line is...
"A governess must be a model of modesty and decorum. She should speak with deference, act with propriety, and aspire toward all that is genteel, refined, and respectable."
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!
Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteToday I am sharing the first two lines from The Highest of Hopes by Susan Anne Mason on my blog: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/03/29/first-line-friday-81/. Currently, I am reading A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer, so I will share a line from that book here.
"Willie carried two steaming bowls to the scarred table in the corner of the small kitchen."
Hope your weekend is a good one. Happy reading! 🙂💚📚
A girl after my own heart...reading two books at the same time. :) Happy reading Nicole!
DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from “Remember Me” by Marion Ueckermann:
ReplyDelete“Seated cross-legged on the floor of her bedroom with her two best friends, Clarise Aylward leaned forward and lit the candles on the birthday cake her mom had made for them.
Beautiful first line Becky! It's very nostalgic. :) Happy reading!
DeleteRules!! Especially those for governesses!
ReplyDeleteMy First Line is, "The wail of a ship’s whistle jerked Anna Wilson from sleep despite the cotton wadding she’d shoved in her ears before bed."
This is from The Great Lakes Lighthouse Brides Collection by multiple authors.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings~ 💖
I love novella collections Robbye! Enjoy and happy reading!
DeleteHappy Friday! Today I'm sharing the first line from Grit & Grace: Devotions for Warrior Moms by Suzanne Hadley Gosslin and Gretta Kennedy:
ReplyDelete"I was having one of those mornings."

Lol...I can identify with that first line. I think most women can though. :) Happy reading Jolene!
DeleteHappy Friday! I'm featuring Beauty in Battle by Robin Patchen today. Here are the first lines from Chapter Nine:
ReplyDelete"This is it?" Jack peered at the rusty sign hung from the front of a rundown brick building. This wasn't the ending to the morning he'd envisioned.
It's amazing how whether the first line comes from the prologue or the ninth chapter, it's still quite suspenseful and makes me want to read the book! :) Happy reading Yvette!
DeleteI shared from Glory Road by Lauren Denton on my blog. Here is the first line of another book in my TBR stack, The Governess of Penwythe Hall. "A biting gust of Cornish wind screamed downward from the churning sky, billowing Cordelia Greythorne's jet-black traveling cape.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
This sounds like a wonderful story Beckie! Happy reading!
DeleteI'm also sharing from a Regency romance today (well, it's one of my favourite periods!) - A Hero for Miss Hatherleigh by Australian author Carolyn Miller. I'm currently up to Chapter Seven, and here's the first line:
ReplyDeleteThe next time at services Caroline did her best to recall why she attended, to fix her thoughts on the service and not on the gentleman seated two rows behind her on her left.
Happy reading :)
I love Carolyn Miller's books, and the Regency period is one of my favorite eras of literature to read too! :) Is this from her new series? Happy reading Iola!
