Today I am going to post a line from:

And the first line is...
London
November 1818
"Surely a prospective husband must elicit greater feeling than the comfort experienced when wearing one's favorite slippers?"
Happy reading and happy Friday!

It is always fun to visit other blogs and see which books people choose to feature for FLF! This week I'm sharing the first line (and a few bonus lines...I just couldn't help myself) from The Yellow Lantern by Angie Dicken.
ReplyDeleteHere I'll share the first line from Chapter 8 of the same book.
"Nearly all the apple trees along the main drive had bloomed, their pale petals washed by moonlight against the dark sky."
I completely agree Trisha! Happy reading!
DeleteLovely first line! Mine is from the latest Ruth Ware novel: https://donnasreadingchair.home.blog/2019/08/02/first-line-fridays-august-2nd-ruthware-thriller-readme-theturnofthekey/

DeleteHappy Friday! My first line is from “Brett, Billionaire Bodyguard” by Autumn Macarthur & Alexa Verde:
ReplyDelete“Brett Jarvis grimaced, yawned, and snatched up his ringing cell phone. Two a.m. phone calls rarely meant good news, especially in his business.”
Thanks for mentioning Brett, Becky! I hope you enjoy his story. :)
DeleteOh goodness, such intrigue! Happy reading Becky!
DeleteHappy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOn my blog, I'm sharing the first line from A Dangerous Legacy by Elizabeth Camden: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/08/01/first-line-friday-96/. I'm currently on chapter two of A Daring Venture by Camden. I'm on a Camden kick! 😀
"By the time Rosalind arrived at the crowded Manhattan restaurant to meet Mr. Drake, her nerves were wound as tight as a piano wire."
Hope you have an excellent weekend! 😀❤📚
Thanks Nicole! I'm on a Joanne Bischof kick...lol. I just finished reading Lady and the Lionheart--it was so good! Happy reading!
DeleteHa ha ha! That line reminds me of my on-line dating days. I always thought that if I would rather be home in my pajamas reading, then the guy wasn't for me.
ReplyDeleteExcellent point! Happy reading Ellie!
DeleteOn my blog today I'm sharing the first few lines from A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson but I'm currently reading Whose Waves These Are by Amanda Dykes so I'll share the first line from chapter 24 here: "Bess's words travel with Annie down to the landing." This book is soo good so far! Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteNatalie Groves eyed the bag of Gingerbread M&M’s on the other side of the office meeting room and prayed for a divine intervention of Red Sea proportions.
Now I have to make gingerbread! :) Happy reading Narelle!
DeleteThe closest book to hand is The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey --- Fire ripped through Finn's right shoulder, ricocheting down his arm.
