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: 

  Lavender Blue Murder 
by Laura Childs 


And the first line is...

"Summer no longer held sway in the low country of South Carolina.  Golds and russets had replaced vivid greens, while a cerulean blue sky offered the promise of cooler weather."  

Happy reading and happy Friday!   

       
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to

    Happy Friday!

    That's a very atmospheric first line, and it definitely sets up the beautiful setting of the book.

    On my blog today, I'm sharing the first line from Dancing With Fireflies by Denise Hunter:

    "Jade McKinley lowered the stove to medium and returned the chicken breasts to the pan."

    I hope you have a lovely weekend :)

    Happy Friday!
    Today on my blog I'm sharing the first line from Love and a Little White Lie by Tammy L. Gray: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2020/07/17/first-line-friday-144/. It's a really fun read. I'm currently on chapter 12, so I'll share from there.
    "By the time Saturday rolls around, I'm convinced that Father Time has a master's degree in torture."
    I hope you have a wonderful weekend filled with relaxing reading time. 😀❤📚

    Happy Friday! My first line is from “A Heart Renewed” by author Kimberly Rae Jordan:

    “Carter Ward stared at the woman in front of him, a sick feeling in his stomach.”

    Those are beautiful written first lines. I can see fall in my mind. My current read is Practically Married by Karin Beery. I'm just starting the second chapter, so I will share the first line of that chapter. "The sharp edge of reality sliced through Russ' heart." May you have a blessed week, Heather.
