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: 

  The Earl and His Lady
by Sally Britton


And the first line is...

May 1812 

"Virginia, Baroness Heatherton, crushed the letter from the barrister in her hand, hating each word it contained."  

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!

    Wow! Exciting! Your book takes place very close in time to mine!

    My first lines are from The Lost Lieutenant by Erica Vetsch:

    Seaton Estate Berkshire, England January 4, 1813

    “You’ll do as you’re told if you know what’s good for you. I won’t be humiliated again.”

    Just finished this phenomenal book!

    Happy Friday! 🙂
    On my blog I'm sharing from Until the Mountains Fall by Connilyn Cossette. I'm currently on chapter 20, so I'll share from there.
    "My family and Hakim's family, along with Baz and his wife and daughters, were gathered around the long table in the courtyard, oil lamps flickering joyfully along its length."
    Hope you have a great weekend filled with awesome reading time. 😀❤📚

    Happy Friday! Today, I'm sharing the first line from Secrets of the Pastor's Wife by Christina Ryan Claypool: "When Cassandra Martin first moved to Maple Grove, the silence in the middle of the night seemed eerie."

    Happy Friday! My first line is from "More Than Friends" by Autumn Macarthur:

    "Catriona Maclean returned the phone to its niche, slumped onto the worn oak bench in the entrance hall of the manse, and groaned out loud. She needed a man."
