First Line Fridays


Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!

Today I am going to post a line from: 

  Poisoned Pages
by Lorna Barrett



And the first line is...

"Never had 221b Main Street, Stoneham, New Hampshire, seen so many people enter its doors."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “The Redemption Road” by Christa MacDonald:

    “The jingle of sleigh bells rang out as the door to the shop swung open.”

    Happy Friday!
    Today on my blog I shared the first line from My Dearest Dietrich by Amanda Barratt. I just finished A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson but I'm about to start The Healing Jar by Wanda Brunstetter so I'll share that first line here: "Tears sprang to Lenore Lapp’s eyes as she stood with the others who had come to witness this special English wedding." Happy reading!

    Happy Saturday!

    I'm currently reading Trial by Patience by Tabitha Bouldin.

    "Sully galloped down the trail."

    Hope you have a great weekend! 🙂❤📚

    An intriguing opening line! I’d definitely read on to learn why. :)

    I’m sharing on my blog the first line from When Mountains Sing by Stacy Monson.

    The clash of cologne, sweat, and ego assaulted her senses as it did every weekday morning.

      That's what I love about first lines--it pulls you right into the mystery of the story! :) Happy reading Narelle!
