First Line Fridays


Happy 4th of July everyone!  Here is an excerpt from one of my favorite mystery writers--who else loves cozy mysteries?  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: 

  Broken Bone China 
by Laura Childs 



And the first line is...

"Red and yellow flames belched from propane burners, inflating the hot-air balloon to heroic proportions and propelling it skyward."  

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!

  2. Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog I shared the first 2 lines from Until the Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette but it's also my current read so I'll share the first line from chapter 7 where I am now: "I found my father on the roof, on his knees." It's amazing so far! Hope you have a wonderful weekend with plenty of quality reading time :)

  3. My first line is from No Ocean Too Wide by Carrie Turansky. It came out a few days ago!
    London 1909
    Katie McAlister’s heart pounded a frantic beat as she gripped the rickety railing and rushed down the back stairs.
    Great historical book!

  4. That’s a fun opening line! :)

    Today I’m sharing on my blog the first line from The Cowboy’s Convenient Marriage by Valerie Comer.

    Spencer Haviland had prided himself on planning his life to the tiniest detail.
