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: 

  An Unwelcome Suitor
by Ashtyn Newbold



And the first line is...

"It came as no surprise that when my great-aunt Augusta summoned my two sisters and me to the drawing room, she did so with the sole intention of discussing men.  One particular man, in fact."  

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. Haven't heard of this one before but I like the cover.

    I'm sharing the first line from One Final Breath at my blog but right now I'm reading WayFarer by Janalyn Voigt, so I'll share that line first line with you. An indrawn breath alerted Kai.

    Happy Friday.

  3. Happy Friday!

    Today on my blog I am sharing the first line from Finders Keepers by Sarah Monzon: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/09/12/first-line-friday-101/. It's such a good book. Currently, I am reading book 2 in the series, All of You, so I will share a line from there.

    "England, 1944
    The gangplank bounced under the weight of passengers disembarking the large transatlantic liner -- a veritable Goliath to the small David-like tugboats dotting the harbor."

    Hope you have a great weekend. Happy reading!

  5. Happy Friday! Today on my blog I shared the first line from Shades of Light by Sharon Garlough Brown but I'm currently reading My Dearest Dietrich by Amanda Barratt so I'll share the first line from chapter 7 here: "Like a rent in fabric formerly whole, the wake of her vater's absence yawned wide and gaping." Hope you have a great weekend!

  6. That's a fun first line. I'm currently reading You Belong With Me by Tari Faris and am on chapter 11 so I'll share that first line here: "She'd turned out even worse than her mother." I hope you have a nice weekend!

    1. Haha...this line made me laugh. Probably because the fall time is when I start thinking about baking. :) Happy Friday Jolene!

  8. Happy Friday! I'm sharing from Belinda Blake and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Heather Day Gilbert on my blog today, so here is another line from the first page:

    "I cozied up on my blue couch, setting my warm mug of Arabica coffee on the low table in front of me."

    Have a wonderful weekend!

  9. My first line is from The Spice King by Elizabeth Camden

    May 1900 Washington D.C.
    Annabelle Larkin hadn’t meant to offend the world’s leading spice tycoon with her bold request, yet it seemed she had.
